< Acts 6 >
1 Now in these days while the number of the disciples was multiplying, the Grecian Jews began to murmur against the Hebrews, because their widows were habitually overlooked in the distribution of alms.
Ayungjvma nga, lvbwlaksu vdwv twngtv yaya toku, hoka Grik gaam minv Jius gola okv Jius jvjvgo bunu gvlo yalunggo dumisito. Grik minv Jius vdwv minyato ho bunugv hvngmi vdwv aludwkibv dvnamtvngnam ornam nga mvnglwk makv vto.
2 Then the Twelve called the general body of the disciples together, and said to them. "It is not fitting for us to leave off preaching the Word of God, and minister at tables.
Vkvlvgabv Apostol vringgola anyiv mvngjwngnv vdwa lvkobv gokkum nyato okv minto, “So si ngonu gvbv alvma Pwknvyarnv gv gaama japma yabvya ainmorko a gakbwngla rinamv.
3 "So, brothers, find from among your own number seven men of good reputation who are full of the Spirit and of wisdom, and we will appoint them over this business.
Vkvlvgabv, ajin vdwv nonugv pinkolo nyi kanwgo darlinto yvv alvjvbv darwknv Dowa gvvdunv okv minlak dunv, okv vkvnvlo ngonu bunua soogv lvgabv kaaria dubv tulwkre.
4 "But we will give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word."
Vbvritola, ngonu atubongv kumku lo okv japgokolo rilwkdoolwk riku.”
5 This plan commended itself to the whole body, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.
Nyitwng mvnwng ngv Apostol gv mingku bv lvkobv tulwk minggv toku, vkvlvgabv bunu Stipinnyi tulwkto, nyi angv achialvbv mvngjwng okv Darwknv Dow dooto, okv Pilip, Prokoras, Nikanor, Timon, Parminas, okv Nikolas, Antiok lokv Jentail nyi go klu lokv Judaism lo aaku nvgo.
6 These men they presented to the apostles who, when they had prayed, laid their hands upon them.
Nyitwng ngv bunua Apostol vdwgvlo daklin motoku, bunu mvnwng gv laak v bunu gvlo lakpv tola kumtoku.
7 And the word of the Lord continued to spread; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was increasing exceedingly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
Okv Pwknvyarnv gv gamcharv tloblobv dupwng karbv moduku. Mvngjwng nvngv Jerusalem lo twngtv yaya toku, okv nyibu vdwka achialvgo mvngjwng la tulwk minggv toku.
8 Meanwhile Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
Stipin, Pwknvyarnv gv jwkrw okv kairungnv boktalwkjinam nyi ako, nyi mvnwng gv apam lo achialvgo lamrwpadubv okv kaasartabo bv kaatamto.
9 But certain men from the so-called "Synagogue of the Freedmen" and certain Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, Cilicians, and men from Roman Asia, started to dispute with Stephen,
Vbvritola ninyia Jius kumkunaam gv topukunam nyi vdwv bunu kaanwng mabv rito, (um vbv minto) ho vv Jius lokv Sairene okv Alekjandaria gvgoto. Bunu okv kvvbi Jius Silisia okv Asia lokv Stipinnyi lvkobv larmi surap toku.
10 but were unable to withstand the wisdom and spirit with which he used to speak.
Vbvritola Darwknv Dowv Stipinnyi mvnglak moto vdwlo hv mirap tokudw, bunu ninyia larya yanyumato.
11 Then they instigated some to say, "We have heard him speaking blasphemy against Moses and against God;" and in this way they excited the people.
Vkvlvgabv bunu nyi kvvgonyi jinamgo jinyok tola mimuto, “Ngonu ninyia Moses okv Pwknvyarnvnyi tvvrutvya dubv minam am tvvyapvnv kv!”
12 The elders and the scribes rushed upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the Sanhedrin.
Vbvrila bunu nyi mvnwng nga miriok patoku, nyigagatv vdwa, okv pvbv tamsarnv vdwa. Bunu Stipinnyi naatung toku okv ninyia kvba kaagialo boolwk toku.
13 They also set up false witnesses who testified. "This fellow is continually talking against the Holy Place and against the law.
Vbvrikunamv ninyia mvvya modu bv bunu nyi meego naalwkto. Bunu minto, “so nyi si”, “ngonugv Pwknvyarnvnaam gv okv Moses gv Pvbv nga dvbvdwkibv minyingmiru mingki yado.
14 "For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which were handed down to us by Moses."
Ngonu ninyia vbv mindubv tvvto so Najaret gv Jisu Pwknvyarnvnaam am mvyakre okv Moses gv lokv ngonu kvvlogv ridung mvnwng nga akusibv mvriku!”
15 Then all who were sitting in the council at once fixed their eyes upon him, and saw his face like the face of an angel.
