< 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,
Nkali bhaajiganywa pubhajenjeshekangaga, gugakoposhele mainginiko ga bhaajiganywa bhabheleketanga Shigiliki na bhaajiganywa Bhaebhulania. Pabha Bhayaudi bhabheleketanga Shigiliki bhashitenga bhabhonji, bhashinkulibhalilwanga kugabhilwa indu ya mobha gowe.
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;
Kwa nneyo, bhantenga likumi limo na bhabhili bhala, gubhaashemilenje bha nkumbi gwa bhaajiganywa bhowe, gubhashitenje, “Nngabha mwammbone uwe tuleshe kulunguya lilobhe lya a Nnungu ga liengo lya gabhanya indu.
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,
Bhai, ashalongo ajetu, nng'agulanje bhandu shabha munkumbi gwenunji, bhandunji bhanguja, bhagumbeywenje na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na bhakwetenje lunda, twaakamuyanje lyene liengolyo.
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”
Ikabheje uwe, shitulonjeye nkujuga Nnungu na liengo lya lunguya Lilobhe lya a Nnungu.”
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,
Gene malobhego gugaanonyelenje bhowe. Guabhaagwilenje a Shitepano bhandu bhakwete ngulupai na gumbalwa na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na a Pilipi na a Polokashi na a Nikanoli na a Timona na a Palumenashi na a Nikola bha ku Antiyokiya bhailundile na dini ja Shiyaudi.
6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
Gubhaabhishilenje mmujo ja mitume, nabhalabhonji gubhaabhishilenje makono nikwaajujilanga Nnungu.
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.
Lilobhe lya a Nnungu gulipundile jenela, na ku Yelushalemu bhaakulupalila bha a Yeshu gubhapundilenje kujenjesheka na likundi likulungwa lya bhaabhishila gubhakundilenje jene ngulupaijo.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
A Nnungu gubhaapele a Shitepano mituka jajigwinji na mashili ga tenda ilapo yaigwinji kubhandu.
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,
Ikabheje gubhakoposhelenje bandu bhananji nkupinga taukangana na a Shitepano. Bhandunji bha shinagogi jashemwaga, “Shinagogi ja bhangwana”, bhakoposhelenje ku Kilene na ku Alekishandilia, bhananji ku Kilikia na ku Ashia.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking;
Ikabheje gubhalepelenje kwatauka, kwa ligongo lya lunda lwabho na kwa ligongo lika Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo abhalongoyaga kubheleketa.
11 then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking slanderous sayings in regard to Moses and God.”
Kwa nneyo gubhaajigenyenje bhandunji bhakong'ondelanje kuti, “Tushikwaapilikana a Shitepano bhalikwaapetekuya a Musha na a Nnungu.”
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;
Kwa nneyo niikwiyanga nnjimwa kubhandunji na kubhanangulungwa na kubhaajiganya bha Malajilo ga a Musha. Bhai gubhaakamulenje a Shitepano nigubhaapelekenje ku lukumbi.
13 they also set up false witnesses, saying, “This one does not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the Law,
Gubhaajimikenje bhaakong'ondela bha unami bhabheleketanje kuti “Bhene bhandubha bhanapundape kupatukana pa Ukonjelo pano na Shalia ja a Musha.
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”;
Pabha, twaapilikene bhalibheleketa kuti, a Yeshu Bhanashaleti bhapinga kupaangabhanya pepano na bhapinga tindiganya ikubho ituposhele kwa a Musha.”
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Bhowenji bhatemingenenje pa lukumbi pala gubhaakolondolesheyenje meyo a Shitepano, gubhaabhweninji kumeyo bhali mbuti malaika jwa kunnungu.
