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,
A waɗannan kwanaki, sa’ad da yawan almajirai suke ƙaruwa, sai Yahudawan masu jin Hellenanci a cikinsu suka yi gunaguni a kan Yahudawan da suke Ibraniyawa domin ba a kula da gwaurayensu a wajen raba abinci na yau da kullum.
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;
Saboda haka Sha Biyun nan suka tara dukan almajirai wuri ɗaya, suka ce, “Bai zai yi kyau mu bar hidimar maganar Allah don mu shiga hidimar abinci ba.
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,
’Yan’uwa, ku zaɓi mutum bakwai daga cikinku waɗanda aka sani suna cike da Ruhu da kuma hikima. Mu kuwa za mu danƙa musu wannan aiki
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”
mu kuwa mu mai da halinmu ga yin addu’a da kuma hidimar maganar Allah.”
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,
Wannan shawarar kuwa ta gamshi dukan ƙungiyar. Sai suka zaɓi Istifanus, mutumin da yake cike da bangaskiya da kuma Ruhu Mai Tsarki; da Filibus, Burokorus, Nikano, Timon, Farmenas, da Nikolas daga Antiyok, wanda ya tuba zuwa Yahudanci.
6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
Suka gabatar da waɗannan mutane wa manzanni, waɗanda kuwa suka yi addu’a, suka ɗibiya hannuwansu a kansu.
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.
Saboda haka maganar Allah ta yaɗu. Yawan almajirai a Urushalima kuwa ya yi saurin ƙaruwa, firistoci masu yawa kuma suka zama masu biyayya ga wannan bangaskiya.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
To, Istifanus, mutum cike da alheri da ikon Allah, ya aikata manyan ayyukan da alamu masu banmamaki a cikin mutane.
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,
Sai hamayya ta taso daga’yan ƙungiyar Majami’a na’Yantattu (kamar yadda ake kiransu), Yahudawan Sairin da Alekzandariya da kuma lardunan Silisiya da Asiya. Mutanen nan suka fara muhawwara da Istifanus,
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking;
amma ba su iya cin nasara kan hikimarsa ko kuma a kan Ruhu wanda ta wurinsa ne ya magana ba.
11 then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking slanderous sayings in regard to Moses and God.”
Sa’an nan a asirce suka zuga waɗansu mutane su ce, “Mun ji Istifanus ya faɗa kalmomin saɓo game da Musa da kuma Allah.”
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;
Ta haka suka tā da hankalin mutane da dattawa da kuma malaman dokoki. Suka kama Istifanus suka kawo shi a gaban Majalisa.
13 they also set up false witnesses, saying, “This one does not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the Law,
Suka kawo masu ba da shaidar ƙarya, waɗanda suka ba da shaida cewa, “Wannan mutum ba ya rabuwa da maganar banza a kan wurin nan mai tsarki da kuma doka.
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”;
Gama mun ji shi yana cewa wannan Yesu Banazare zai rushe wurin nan ya kuma canja al’adun da Musa ya ba mu.”
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Dukan waɗanda suke zaune a Majalisar suka kafa wa Istifanus ido, suka kuma ga fuskarsa ta yi kama da ta mala’ika.
