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.
Leno isikhu inchi, eidadi ya vasiole vikhongesekha, elilalamekho lya Vayakhudi na Kiyunani vakhategwile ipakha Avaeblania, ulyakhova ugovo vavene vale kosamiwe vovigava ugovo gwa khya kholya.
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.
Avasukhya kumi na mbili vakhavelanga khulikusanyekho lyoni lya vasiule nukhunchova, “Sio ulyeli khulyofye ukhulelekha ilimenyu lya Ngolove ukhudumela emesa.
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.
Po, valokolo, nchagula, avagosi saba, ukhuhuma khulyumwe, avana avanonu, avadegile, enumbula nekhekima vavatuwesya ukhuvalekhela embombo eye.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."
Nayofye, tukhendelelaga dama ukhudova nakhombombo ya limwenyu.”
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;
Ekhitabu yavene yekhanogela pakutano guvoni. Apo, vakhanchagola uSitefano, umunu uyudegile ulyedeho nu Mepo Umbalanche, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolao, utakatifu ukhuhuma kho Antiokia.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Avaumini vakhava twala avanu ava khuvolongolo khuvasukhya, vakhodova pongela vakhavavekhela amavokho gavo.
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.
Ewo, elimenyu lya Ngolove lekheneile; eidadi ya vasiole yekhongesekha ukhya khu Yelusalemu; eidadi embakha ya vatekheji vakha yedekhe eimani.
8 Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
No Sitefano, uyadegile ulyedekho ni ngofu, alenkovomba amaajabu ne ishara imbakha khuvanu.
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.
Po apo lekhinokha avanu avange avafuasi va sinagogi likhyelangiwa Sinagogi lya Mahuru, elya Wakirene nelya Waeskandelaa, na vange ukhuhuma khu Kilikia na khu Asia. Avanu ava valen'kovonchana nu Sitefano.
10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Po, savakhawesye ukhusinda nekhekima yo Mepo yeyo akhalenayo uSitefano ayekohumela ukhunchova.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."
Po vakhasonga avange avanu khu vutitu ukhuta “Tupolikhe uSitefano inchova amamenyu gakufulu zaidi ya Musa na zaidi ya Ngolove.”
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,
Vakhavatesya avanu, avasekhe, navasimbi, nukhundutela uSitefano, vakhamwibata, nukhutwala khuvulongolo khulibalasa.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.
vakhavaleta avasakhidi va vodesi, vavovakhanchovile, “umunu uya sibekhela ukhunchova amamenyu amavivi zaidi ya lieneo ele elitakatifu lya lulagelo.
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."
Mbona tupolikhe voichova ukhuta uYeesu va Nazaleti ikhopananga aponu apa nukhubadelesya(mila) destuli inchatupile uMusa.”
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Khila yomo uyakhale ndibalasa, vakhalola amikha gavo khya Sitefano, navope vakhavovona khumikho khya mwene vuvile kama vouso wa sukhwa(malaika).
