Acts 6
1 Now, in these days, the number of the disciples being multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists that is, Jews who used the Greek language against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministrations.
Lyahanu mwaanu mazuva, linu impalo ya valutwana haiva kukabwinjiha, impiraero ya Magerike va Majuda chiyatanga Kulwisa Maheveru, kakuti imberwa zavo zivali kuketululwa mwizuva ni zuva lya kuholiswa kwa zilyo.
2 And the twelve, having called the multitude of the disciples together, said, It is by no means agreeable, that we should leave the word of God to attend tables;
Vena ikumi ni vovele chivasupi chinavungi cha varutwana kuvali ni kuti, “kakwina hande kwetu kuti tusiye liinzwi lye Ireeza niku taha he ntafule.
3 therefore, brethren, look out from among yourselves seven men of an attested character, full of spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this business;
Mu swanera lyahanu kuketa, vakwaluzuvo, bakwame vakwana iyanza ni vovere mukatikenu, bakwame vene vuhalo vulotu, ve zwile luhuho ni vutali. Avo vatuwola kuketa mwei impisinisi.
4 we will constantly attend to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Haili iswe, katuzwire havusu mwi intapero ni mukukutaza liinzwi.”
5 And the speech was pleasing to all the multitude, and they elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nichanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas, a proselyte of Antioch;
Zi wambo zavo ziva tavisi chinavungi chonse. Linu chivaketa Sitefani, mukwame yowizwire intumelo ni Luhuho Lujolola, ni Filipi, ni Porokoras, ni Nikonora, ni Timoni, ni Parmemasi, ni Nikolasi muprositelite yozwa kwa Antiyoke.
6 whom they presented before the Apostles; and they, having prayed, laid hands on them.
Varumeri vavaleti ava vakwame havusu vwa vapositola, vava lapeli ni ku tula mayanza avo havali.
7 And the word of God grew; and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was greatly multiplied; and a great multitude of the priests became obedient to the faith.
Chovulyo linzwi lya Ireeza liva weli; imi impalo ya varutwana ivayekezehi mwa Jerusarema nikuhitiliza; mi impalo yingi ya vapurisita ivakezi kukuteka intumelo.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought many miracles, and great signs among the people.
Lyahanu Sitefani, avezwile chisemo ni maata, ava kupanga inkezo zikomokisa ni imboniso mukati kavaantu.
9 Then there arose some of the synagogue, which is called that of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
Kono chikweza kuzimana vantu wa wila kumasinagoge asumpwa masinagoge alukuluhite, va kwa Serina ni Alexandriya, nivamwi vazwa kwa Silicia ni Asia. Ava vaantu vava kukandekisana ni Sitefani.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit with which he spoke.
Kono kana vava kuwola kuzimana kulwisanisa vutali ni Luhuho ulo lwa vakuwamba chalo Sitefani.
11 Then they suborned men to say, We heard him speak reproachful words against Moses, and against God.
Linu che inkunutu chiva susuweza vamwi vakwame kuwamba, “Twazuwa Sitefani na wamba maanzwi akunyefula Mushe ni Ireeza.”
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and setting upon him, they dragged him away with them, and brought him to the Sanhedrim.
Vava vengisi vaantu, vakulwana, ni vañoli, mi chiva yenda kwa Sitefani, ni kumukaheeka, ni kumuleeta kunkuta.
13 And they set up false witnesses, who said, This man is incessantly speaking against this holy place, and the law:
Vava leti impaki zamapa, vava wambi, “Uzu mukwame kaleki kuwamba maanzwi alwisanisa chivaka chichena ni mulao.
14 for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change its customs, which Moses delivered to us.
Kakuti tuvamuzuwi nawamba kuti Jesu wa Nazareta usaka kushinya ichi chivaka ni ku chincha milawo yavaleti Mushe hansi kwetu.”
15 And all that sat in the Sanhedrim, fixing their eyes upon him, saw his countenance like the countenance of an angel.
Vaantu vonse vavekele munkuta vava twalite menso avo kwali mi chivavona chifateho chakwe ni chikola ili chifateho che Iñeloi.
