Acts 6
1 NOW in those days, when the disciples were multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian proselytes against the Hebrews, because their widows were overlooked in the daily distribution.
Ikanisa palyahonjelelaga akule abhantu bhahabha bhinji, gahanda abhe amalulumwo hwa shirika Ayahudi abheshi Yunani bhabhalulumwaga aba Ebrania, huje afwele bhabho sebhabhagabhilaga shinza eshalye bhabhewaga.
2 Then the twelve assembling the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not fit that we should leave the word of God, to make distribution to the tables.
Atumwe bhabhakwizya ashirika bhonti, bhahaga seshinza ate alileshe izu lya Ngulubhi na bhatenganye amwe humambogeshalye.
3 Therefore, brethren, do ye look out for seven men from among yourselves, the best approved, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint to superintend this business.
Eshi salulii abhantu saba abhinza bhabhali nu Mpepo Ufinjile tibhabhishe humbombo ene.
4 But we will devote ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Nate tibhakhale na deele mwizu lya Ngulubhi na puute.”
5 And this saying was very agreeable to all the multitude: and they elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas a proselyte a man of Antioch:
Ezyo enongwa zyabha nyinza bhasalula u Stefano, umuntu uwelweteshelo nu Mpepo Ufinjile, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolao, wa hu Antiokia.
6 whom they presented before the apostles: and having prayed, they laid their hands upon them.
Bhabhaleta hwa tumwe, abhantu ebha, bhabhapuutila na bhabhabheleshela amakhono gabho.
7 And the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied greatly; and a vast body of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lyavwambana na ashirika bhonjelela mu Yelusalemu bhope agosi bheshibhanza bhabhinji bhalyeteshe izu lya Ngulubhi.
8 Now Stephen, full of faith and of power, wrought great miracles and signs among the people.
Nu Stefano, muntu yali ne neema nikhone abhombaga amambo minji aga Ngulubhi agaswijizye hwa bhantu.
9 Then rose up certain men of the synagogue of the freed-men, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
Lelo bhahinza abhantu abhe Sinagogi lyalihwefwa Mahuru, nelya Bhakirene nelya Waeskanderia, na bhahukilikia na hu Asia. Abhantu ebha bhabisaniaga nu Stefano.
10 And they could not resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.
Lelo, sigabhawezizye ashindane nu Stefano umwene ali ne hekima nu Mpepo Ufinjile yayangaga mwa Stefano.
11 Then they suborned men to say, We heard him speak blasphemous things against Moses, and against God.
Abhantu ebho bhayanga na bhantu bhabhasuliha bhaga, “Mugaje uStefano aligaga uMusa nu Ngulubhi tumviwizye tete.”
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and coming upon him, they seized him together, and dragged him to the sanhedrim;
Bhabhabuula azee, nasimbi, bhabhala bhakhata uStefano, bhaleta hwi baraza.
13 and they set up false witnesses, saying, This man doth not cease speaking blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
bhabhaleta aketi abhilenga, bhaga, “umuntu unu sigaleha ayanje embibhi epa apa tuntumu ahuliga wu Ngulubhi nesheria ya Musa.
14 for we have heard him affirm, that Jesus the Nazarean, even he, will destroy this place, and change the accustomed ordinances which Moses delivered to us.
Tumvwizye nayanga huje bhashi uYesu abhapananganye esheria zyetu ezyeshikhaya zyatapelilwe nu Musa.”
15 And fixing their eyes upon him, all who sat in the sanhedrim, beheld his face as the face of an angel.
Shila muntu yaali pibaraza amaso gakwe gamwenya hulineshi umalaika.
