< 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,
Erah lih ang ano, heliphante loong ah jaatjaang ih wang rumta, Grik jengjengte Jehudi loong nyia hanok dowa Jehudi loong ah nengneng laktung ni changrook waangti ang rumta. Grik jengjengte Jehudi loong ih liita jootiinuh adoleh thaknuh loong ah ih saarep chotheng phaksat ah rapniine ih tachoh rumka.
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;
Erah thoidi asih wanyi kaamwah loong ah ih hanpiite loong ah lompoon rum ano baat rumta, “Ngun thiin raangtaan ih Rangte jengkhaap nyootsoot ah seng loong ah tami phaangdat ke.
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,
Phoh ano loong, erah raangtaan ih, seng loongdung dowa o sak ni Esa Chiiala adoleh mongtham ese jeela erah likhiik mih ah ngun thiinte danje theng.
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”
Eno juuba Rangte tiit ah rangsoom rangphoong ih jen nyootsoot ih.”
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,
Heliphante loong ih renbaat rumta mongtham ah kap ih rum ano, mina loong ah ih, kamkam tuumaangte nyia moongte chaangte Stephen, Philip, Prokoras, Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas, nyia Entiok nawa Nikolas maangdi Jehudi angta loong ah danje rumta.
6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
Arah miloong asuh heliphante loong ah ih neng khoh nah taajoh rum ano rang toom soomkoh rum ah ngeh ih neng reeni wangthuk rumta.
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.
Erah thoidi Rangte jengkhaap ah noongrep ni ruurang roh eta. Heliphante loong ah Jerusalem ni weewe jaatjaat eta, erah damdi romwah hantek ih Jisu laalom tiit ah hanpi rumta.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
Stephen suh Rangte ih chaan aphaan ah koh ano, miloong dung dowa mih paatjaajih loong ah noisok ih thukta.
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,
Enoothong Jehudi rangsoomnok nawa Dalang saachoi (ngeh ih men rumta), mararah mina loong ah Stephen damdi daanmui e rumta, erah di Kiren nyia Alekjendria nawa Jehudi nok hah nep angta. Silisia nyia Esia hah nawa Jehudi loong ah nep ih Stephen damdi jengmui rumta.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking;
Enoothong moong achaang ih Stephen suh erah likhiik chaan kota, heh jeng kano o uh tami daanjeng rumta.
11 then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking slanderous sayings in regard to Moses and God.”
Erah raangtaan ih mararah mih asuh tiit hu baatthuk rumta, “Seng ih bah Moses nyia Rangte kaanju arah chaat hi!”
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;
Emah ih diip mokwaan rum ano, noksong nyia mihak phokhoh loong, hootthe nyootsootte loong ah khat thuk rumta. Neng loong ah ih Stephen ah jorum ano Ngoongthum theng ni siitwan rumta.
13 they also set up false witnesses, saying, “This one does not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the Law,
Eno mih wajombaji ih tiit hu baat thuk suh ngeh ih waksiit rumta. “Arah mih,” ah ih “saarookwet seng Rangteenok nyia Moses Hootthe tiit ah pak thetbaat ha.
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”;
Seng ih emah jeng arah chaat hi, Najaret dowa Jisu ih Rangteenok ah thaak haat ih ah eno Moses jiin nawa neem arang loong ah elek et ah!”
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Ngoongthum theng ni tongte loong ah ih Stephen taangko sok rum adi, hethe hekhoh ah rangsah the akhoh likhiik ih japtup rumta.
