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.

AND in those days the disciples being many, the Javnoyee disciples murmured against the Ebroyee because their widows were slighted in the daily ministration.

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.

And the twelve apostles called all the assembly of the disciples and said to them, It is not fit that we should leave the word of Aloha, and serve tables.

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.

Look out therefore, brethren, and choose seven men from you who have testimony concerning them, and are full of the Spirit of the Lord and wisdom, and we will appoint them over this matter.

4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."

And we will be constant in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.

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;

And this saying was pleasing before all the people; and they chose Estephanos, a man who was full of faith and the Spirit of Holiness; and Philipos, and Prokoros, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmena, and Nikolos, a proselyte of Antiokia.

6 whom they set before the emissaries. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

And these they set before the apostles: and while praying they laid upon them the hand.

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.

And the word of Aloha increased, and the number of the disciples increased in Urishlem greatly: and much people of the Jihudoyee were obedient to the faith.

8 Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.

But Estephanos was filled with grace and power, and wrought signs and miracles among the people.

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.

And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos,

10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Ruach by which he spoke.

and were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him.

11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

Then they sent men and instructed them to say, We have heard him speak words of blasphemy against Musha and against Aloha.

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,

And they stirred up the people and the elders and the sophree, and came and rose upon him, and carried him away and brought him into the midst of the assembly.

13 and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.

AND witnesses of falsehood arose, and said, This man ceases not from speaking words contrary to the law and against this holy place.

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."

For we have heard him say that this Jeshu Natsroya shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Musha delivered unto us.

15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel.
