Acts 6
1 And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily ministry,
Hatnae tueng dawkvah a hnukkâbangnaw moi apap awh toe. A hnintangkuem a paca awh navah, Grik lawk kapan e Hellenist lahmai napuinaw ni kaimouh teh na paca awh hoeh telah Hebru lawk kapannaw phuenangnae a tawn awh.
2 and the Twelve, having called near the multitude of the disciples, said, “It is not pleasing that we, having left the word of God, minister at tables;
Hatnavah gunceinaw hlaikahni touh ni a hnukkâbangnaw pueng a kaw awh teh maimouh teh Cathut e a lawk paktoung awh vaiteh canei koelae thaw tawk hane kawi nahoeh.
3 look out, therefore, brothers, seven men of you who are testified well of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity,
Hatdawkvah hmaunawnghanaw muitha hoi, lungangnae hoi, kaawm e tami sari touh nangmouh thung tawng awh. Hete thaw tawk sak hanelah ahnimouh hah kaimouh ni ka rawi awh han.
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”
Maimouh teh ratoumnae hoi lawk pâphonae thaw maha pou tawk awh sei telah a dei awh.
5 And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
Hote lawk teh kamkhueng e tami pueng ni a hnâbo awh teh, yuemnae lahoi thoseh, Kathoung Muitha hoi thoseh, kakawi e Stiven, Filip, Prokhoras, Nikhanaw, Timon, Parmenas, hoi Judah phung lah ka kâen e Antiok tami Nikolas tinaw a rawi awh.
6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
Ahnimouh teh gunceinaw hmalah a kangdue sak awh teh gunceinaw ni ratoum laihoi ahnimae lathueng kut a toung sin awh.
7 And the word of God increased, and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude of the priests were also obedient to the faith.
Hettelah hoiyah Cathut e lawk a kampung teh Jerusalem kho thung a hnukkâbangnaw hoehoe apap. Vaihmanaw pueng ni hai yuemnae lawk a thai awh.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
Stiven teh lungmanae a bahu hoi akawi teh puenghoi kângairunae mitnoutnaw hah taminaw hmalah a sak.
9 and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, the [one] called Libertines (and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia), disputing with Stephen,
Hah navah sanhlout tie sinakok dawk kamkhuengnaw koehoi kamtawng teh Sairen, Alexandria, Silisia ram, Asia ram hoi ka tho e taminaw ni Stiven teh a oun awh.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking;
Hatei muitha lungangnae hoi Stiven ni a dei e hah ahnimanaw ni oun thai awh hoeh.
11 then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking slanderous sayings in regard to Moses and God.”
Hatnavah rangpuinaw hah arulah a uen awh teh hete tami ni Mosi hoi Cathut e lawk ka tapuet lah a dei awh e hah ka thai ati awh.
12 They also stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come on [him], they caught him, and brought [him] to the Sanhedrin;
Rangpui, kacuenaw hoi cakathutkungnaw ni ahni hah a man awh teh sanhedrin lawkcengnae hmuen koe a hrawi awh.
13 they also set up false witnesses, saying, “This one does not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the Law,
Laithoe e kapanuekkhaikungnaw a kaw awh teh ahnimouh ni, ahni teh kathounge a hmuen hoi kâlawknaw a tapuet telah kâhat laipalah a dei awh.
14 for we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarean will overthrow this place, and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us”;
Hote Nazareth tami Jisuh ni hete hmuen a raphoe vaiteh kaimouh koe Mosi ni na poe e kâlawknaw kâthung sak han ati awh e kaimouh ni ka thai awh toe telah a dei awh.
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Sanhedrin lawkcengnae koe ka tahungnaw ni Stiven hah kheikhei a khet awh teh ahnie minhmai teh kalvantami e minhmai patetlah ao e hah a hmu awh.
