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 siiga Jesu ŋɔdikaaba bo pugdi pugdi, k Heleniti jufinba bo fii k yie Ebliba yaaba po, pakuano bo ki laadi mi jiema.
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;
Jesu tuonsɔnba piiga n bonmilie yeni bo yini bi ŋɔdikaaba ki yedi bi: «laa dagdi ti ŋa u Tienu maama ke ya bɔgdi mi yema.
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,
N naataani lugdi mani i siiga nni niba lele yaaba pia ti kpiagdi ki gɔ gbie yeni mi yanfuonma ke ti ba fidi ki teni ba li tuonli.
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”
tima wani ti ba guani ki tugni ki ya jaandi yeni u Tienu ñɔmaama.»
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,
Bi laabaalo bo mangi yaaba n bo taani kuli po. Yeni ke b bo lugdi Etieni o ja yua gbi yeni tu dugdi yeni mi yanfuonma, yeni Filipi, Prokori, Nikanɔri, Timɔn, Parmenasi, yeni Nikola yua lebidi bi niba pala Antiosi.
6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
Yaaba gaa u tienu ñɔmaama bo kua yeni li niba jesu ŋɔdikaaba kani ke bi jaani ki gɔ maani i nui b po.
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.
Yeni u Tienu maama bo yadi kaan kuli ke bi ŋɔdikaaba bo pugni Jerusalemi diema nni.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
Etieni bo gbie yeni ŋalbaligi yeni u paaciamu ki tiendi mi banciama boncianla ke li pia mi yaalidma bi niba siiga nni.
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,
Ama ya niba n bo tie Sinagɔg nni yaaba ke b yi bi Sirenian yeni Alesandrian nba yaaba pia mi yaama yeni Silisi yeni Azi bo fii. Li niba bo pagi yeni Etieni.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking;
Ama b bo kan fidi ki sedi Etieni nunga nni yua gbie yeni u Tienu paalu ki maadi mi yanfuomaama.
11 then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking slanderous sayings in regard to Moses and God.”
Li puoli po ke b wuoni lebidi b niba pala ke bi maadi: «ti gbadi ke Etieni ñani a ñɔbona ki sugi u Tienu yeni Myiisi.
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;
ke suadi b niba, a nikpela yeni a gbandianla ke b cendi Etieni ki cuo o ki gedi yeni o b ceglikaaba kani.
13 they also set up false witnesses, saying, “This one does not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the Law,
B bo baa yeniu faagu siedanba ke b maadi: «O ja ne li maadi ki sugdi u kaanŋanmo ne yeni yikodi.
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”;
Kelima ti gbadi k yedi ke naazareti jesu ba mudi u kaanŋanmo ne k gɔ lebdi balmaama tunda.
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Ke ya niba kuli bo kali i celi tema bo cini a nubina o po i ki la k o nunga tie nani meleki yeni.
