Acts 6
1 Now in those days, when the number of the talmidim was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
Kanyuma, winji wa ŵakulijiganya pawaliji nkonjecheka, kwatyochele kunyinyita mwa ŵakukulupilila ŵaŵaŵechetaga Chigiliki ni aŵala ŵaŵaŵechetaga Chiebulania. Aŵala ŵaŵaŵechetaga Chigiliki ŵanyinyitaga kuti achakongwe ŵa Chigiliki ŵaŵawililwe ni achiŵankwawo, ŵaliŵalikwe kwagaŵila yakulya moŵa gose.
2 So the twelve summoned the full number of the talmidim and said, "It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
Nipele, achinduna likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala ŵauŵilasile mpingo wose wa ŵakulijiganya nikuti, “Ngaikuŵajilwa kuti tuleche kulalichila liloŵe lya Akunnungu kuti tuŵeje ŵagaŵanya yakulya.
3 Therefore select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Ruach and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Nipele achalongo achinjetu, mwasagule ŵandu nsano ni ŵaŵili ŵakumanyika kuti ali ni umboni ŵambone, ŵaagumbale Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni lunda ni uweji chitwape masengo go.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."
Nambo uweji tutulimbichile nkupopela ni kulalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.”
5 And these words pleased the whole gathering. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;
Ngani jo jaanonyelesye mpingo wose wa ŵakukulupilila ŵala. Ni ŵaasagwile che Stefano jwagumbele chikulupi ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni che Filipo ni che Plokolo ni che Nikanoli ni che Timona ni che Pamena ni che Nikolau jwa ku Antiokia juŵajinjile dini ja Chiyahudi.
6 whom they set before the emissaries. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Ŵaajimiche mmbujo pa achinduna, nombewo ŵapopele ni kwasajichila makono gao.
7 The word of God increased and the number of the talmidim multiplied greatly in Jerusalem; and a large group of the cohanim were obedient to the faith.
Ni liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyapundile kwenela, ni ku Yelusalemu ko winji wa ŵakukulupilila wajonjesyeche nnope, ni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵambopesi ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu.
8 Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Akunnungu ŵapele che Stefano upile weujinji ni ukombole ni ŵapanganyaga imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yejinji pasikati ja ŵandu.
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.
Nambo ŵakopochele ŵandu achisakaga kutenda makani ni che Stefano. Ŵampepe mwa ŵandu wo ŵaliji ŵa nyuumba jimo ja kupopelela jajikuŵilanjikwa, “Nyuumba ja kupopelela ŵandu Hulu,” ni ŵandu wo ŵatyochelaga ku Kulene ni ku Alekisandilia ni ŵane kutyochela ku Kilikia ni ku Asia.
10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Ruach by which he spoke.
Nambo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵampele che Stefano lunda, kwa yele nganakombolanga kumpunda paŵaŵechetaga.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."
Nipele ŵaonjile ŵandu ŵampepe aŵechete kuti, “Twampilikene che Stefano achiŵechetaga maloŵe ga kwatukana che Musa ni Akunnungu.”
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,
Kwanti yeleyi, ŵaachisisye ŵandu ni achachekulu ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa. Nipele, ŵankamwile che Stefano ni kunnyikanawo paujo pa Nkungulu wekulu.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.
Ni ŵajimiche ŵaumboni ŵa unami ŵaŵatite, “Mundu ju ngaakuleka ng'o kujichembulusya Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jajiswela ji ni kugachembulusya Malajisyo.
14 For we have heard him say that this Yeshua the Natzrati will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."
Pakuŵa twampilikene achiŵechetaga kuti jwele Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti chajijonanje Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji ni kuchigalausya chisyoŵelo chiŵatupele che Musa.”
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Wose ŵaŵaliji pa Nkungulu ŵankolondolele che Stefano, ŵambweni ku meeso kwakwe kuli mpela ku meeso kwa katumetume jwa kwinani.
