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,
Mwanakandahi vawuliwa pevayendalili kuyonjokeseka, gakahumila mang'ung'uta pagati ya vamsadika va Yesu, Vayawudi vevilongela Chigiliki vala na vala vevilongela Chiebulania, vevilongela Chigiliki vala vang'ung'utayi ndava vakuvakosiwa valipwela vavi mukugawiwa vyakulya vya kila ligono.
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;
Ndi muni, vamitumi kumi na vavili vala vakavakemela vamsadika, vakajova, “Chabwina lepi tete kuleka kukokosa Lilovi la Chapanga na kuvagavila chakulya.
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,
Hinu, valongo vitu, mvahagula vandu saba pagati yinu, vevitopeswa na vevamemili Mpungu Msopi na luhala, tete yati tikuvagotolela lihengu lenili.
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”
Tavete yati tivya mukuhenga mukumuyupa Chapanga na lihengu la kukokosa Lilovi la Chapanga.”
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,
Lijambu lenilo likavaganisa vamsadika voha, ndi vakavahagula Stefani, mundu mweamemiswi sadika yivaha na Mpungu Msopi na Filipi na Plokolo na Timoni na Pamena na Nikolausi mundu wa ku Antiokia mweajiwungi na njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga ya Vayawudi.
6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
Vakavavika palongolo ya vamitumi, kangi vakavayupila kwa Chapanga kuni vavapamisi mawoko.
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.
Lilovi la Chapanga likadandasika ku Yelusalemu na vamsadika vakayonjokeseka neju, chikundi chivaha cha vamteta va Chapanga vakalanda sadika.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
Hinu, Stefani amotisiwi na apewili makakala na Chapanga, hati akahenga chinamtiti na makangaso pagati ya vandu.
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,
Nambu vandu vangi vakahumila muni vahutana na Stefani. Vandu venavo vavi va “Nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi la vandu Hulu,” Vene vahumili Kulene na Alekisanda, na vangi vahumili Kilikia na Asia.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking;
Nambu vahotwili lepi kumhotola ndava ya luhala lwaki, na Mpungu Msopi mweamlongwisi mukujova.
11 then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking slanderous sayings in regard to Moses and God.”
Ndi vakavakulukisa cha mfiyu vandu nunuyu vajova kuvya, “Timyuwini Stefani akumliga Musa na akumliga Chapanga.”
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;
Ndava ya yeniyo, vakavakokesa vandu, vachilongosi na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa. Ndi vakambwelela Stefani vakamkamula na kumpeleka palongolo ya libanji.
13 they also set up false witnesses, saying, “This one does not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the Law,
Kangi vakaleta vajova malovi ga udese vevajovili, “Mundu uyu katu ikotoka lepi kuliga pandu apa Pamsopi na kuliga malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa.
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”;
Ndava muni tamali kumyuwanila kuvya Yesu wa ku Nazaleti mwenuyu yati apagwisa pandu apa na kung'anamusa mivelu yila yetapokili kuhuma kwa Musa.”
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Voha vevatamili mu libanji lila vakamlolokesa takataka Stefani, kangi vakalola pamihu paki pavi ngati mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
