Acts 6
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
Ikanisa palyahonjelelaga akule abhantu bhahabha bhinji, gahanda abhe amalulumwo hwa shirika Ayahudi abheshi Yunani bhabhalulumwaga aba Ebrania, huje afwele bhabho sebhabhagabhilaga shinza eshalye bhabhewaga.
2 So the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, "It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
Atumwe bhabhakwizya ashirika bhonti, bhahaga seshinza ate alileshe izu lya Ngulubhi na bhatenganye amwe humambogeshalye.
3 Therefore select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Eshi salulii abhantu saba abhinza bhabhali nu Mpepo Ufinjile tibhabhishe humbombo ene.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."
Nate tibhakhale na deele mwizu lya Ngulubhi na puute.”
5 And these words pleased the whole gathering. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;
Ezyo enongwa zyabha nyinza bhasalula u Stefano, umuntu uwelweteshelo nu Mpepo Ufinjile, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolao, wa hu Antiokia.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Bhabhaleta hwa tumwe, abhantu ebha, bhabhapuutila na bhabhabheleshela amakhono gabho.
7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem; and a large group of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lyavwambana na ashirika bhonjelela mu Yelusalemu bhope agosi bheshibhanza bhabhinji bhalyeteshe izu lya Ngulubhi.
8 Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Nu Stefano, muntu yali ne neema nikhone abhombaga amambo minji aga Ngulubhi agaswijizye hwa bhantu.
9 But some of those who were of the synagogue called "The Libertines," and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.
Lelo bhahinza abhantu abhe Sinagogi lyalihwefwa Mahuru, nelya Bhakirene nelya Waeskanderia, na bhahukilikia na hu Asia. Abhantu ebha bhabisaniaga nu Stefano.
10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Lelo, sigabhawezizye ashindane nu Stefano umwene ali ne hekima nu Mpepo Ufinjile yayangaga mwa Stefano.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."
Abhantu ebho bhayanga na bhantu bhabhasuliha bhaga, “Mugaje uStefano aligaga uMusa nu Ngulubhi tumviwizye tete.”
12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, and brought him in to the council,
Bhabhabuula azee, nasimbi, bhabhala bhakhata uStefano, bhaleta hwi baraza.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.
bhabhaleta aketi abhilenga, bhaga, “umuntu unu sigaleha ayanje embibhi epa apa tuntumu ahuliga wu Ngulubhi nesheria ya Musa.
14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."
Tumvwizye nayanga huje bhashi uYesu abhapananganye esheria zyetu ezyeshikhaya zyatapelilwe nu Musa.”
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Shila muntu yaali pibaraza amaso gakwe gamwenya hulineshi umalaika.
