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,
Laa dana nni, Jesu hoadikaaba coali den pugida, ke yaa jufinba n maadi gileka maama den yenbidi jufinba po, kelima bi den fali bi kpepuona daali kuli jiema boagidima po.
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;
Bi piiga n niliediba den yini ku niligu ki yedi: Laa dagidi tin ha U Tienu maama ki yaa boagidi mi jiema.
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,
Lani ya po n kpiiba gandi mani yi siiga jaba lele, ban tiedi yaaba yaa po o siedi-hamo, ki gbie leni U Tienu Fuoma yua leni mi yanfuoma, tin tuni ba laa tuonli.
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”
Ama tinba wani ti baa pa ti yula i jaandi leni U Tienu maama wangima po.
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,
Laa jagili den mangi li nitaanli kuli. Bi den gandi Etiena yuan gbie leni li dandanli leni U Tienu Fuomi yua. Filipi, Pilokolo, Nikanola, Timono, Pamenasa leni Nikolasa yua n den tie nilamo Antiosa yua.
6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
Bi den cuani ba bi tondiba kani, ban den jaandi ki gbeni bi den maani bi nii bipo.
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.
U Tienu maama den yayadi ki pugidi, Jesu hoadikaaba den pugidi hali boncianla Jelusema, bikopadicianba siiga mo boncianla den tuodi ki hoa Jesu.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
Etiena den gbie leni U Tienu hanbili leni u paalu, ki tiedi bi niba siiga mi bancianma leni sinankenciami.
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,
Bi nitianba yaaba n tie li balimaama bangima dieyenli yaaba, ban yi yaaba bi nifaabikaaba, den fii ki nia leni Etiena. bi den tie ya jufinba n ñani silena leni Alesandili dogu nni, leni yaaba n ñani silisi leni Asi ya diema nni kuli.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking;
U Tienu Fuoma den puni Etiena mi yanfuoma ke o maadi ke bi kan den fidi ki nia leni o.
11 then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking slanderous sayings in regard to Moses and God.”
Lane bi den suu bi jaba li suuli ke bi pua o po mi faama ki yedi: Ti gbadi ke o maadi ti masugidi Musa po leni U Tienu po.
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;
Bi den lengidi bi niba leni bi nikpeliba leni li balimaama bangikaaba yama. Lani bi dencua ki bibi Etiena ki cuo o ki gedini o bicancannikpeliba taancianli po.
13 they also set up false witnesses, saying, “This one does not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the Law,
Bi go den teni ke bi siedi-faadanba pua o po mi faama ki yedi: O naajoa sugidi u naa kaangagidi hamu, ki go sugidi li bali maama kaacedi.
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”;
Ti go den gbadi ke o yedi ke Jesu, Nasaleti yua yeni, baa bolini U Tienu diegu na ki lebidi Musa n den bili ti po yaa bogida.
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Bi cancan-nikpeliba yaaba n den ka bi taancianli kani kuli den diidi Etiena, ki la ke nunga tie nani maleeki yaa nunga yeni.
