Acts 6
1 But in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
Erah lih ang ano, heliphante loong ah jaatjaang ih wang rumta, Grik jengjengte Jehudi loong nyia hanok dowa Jehudi loong ah nengneng laktung ni changrook waangti ang rumta. Grik jengjengte Jehudi loong ih liita jootiinuh adoleh thaknuh loong ah ih saarep chotheng phaksat ah rapniine ih tachoh rumka.
2 And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them, and said, It doth not seem to us proper, that we should leave the word of God, and provide for tables.
Erah thoidi asih wanyi kaamwah loong ah ih hanpiite loong ah lompoon rum ano baat rumta, “Ngun thiin raangtaan ih Rangte jengkhaap nyootsoot ah seng loong ah tami phaangdat ke.
3 Therefore, brethren, look out among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this business;
Phoh ano loong, erah raangtaan ih, seng loongdung dowa o sak ni Esa Chiiala adoleh mongtham ese jeela erah likhiik mih ah ngun thiinte danje theng.
4 but we will give ourselves closely to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Eno juuba Rangte tiit ah rangsoom rangphoong ih jen nyootsoot ih.”
5 And what was said pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch,
Heliphante loong ih renbaat rumta mongtham ah kap ih rum ano, mina loong ah ih, kamkam tuumaangte nyia moongte chaangte Stephen, Philip, Prokoras, Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas, nyia Entiok nawa Nikolas maangdi Jehudi angta loong ah danje rumta.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Arah miloong asuh heliphante loong ah ih neng khoh nah taajoh rum ano rang toom soomkoh rum ah ngeh ih neng reeni wangthuk rumta.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was greatly enlarged; and a great multitude of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Erah thoidi Rangte jengkhaap ah noongrep ni ruurang roh eta. Heliphante loong ah Jerusalem ni weewe jaatjaat eta, erah damdi romwah hantek ih Jisu laalom tiit ah hanpi rumta.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
Stephen suh Rangte ih chaan aphaan ah koh ano, miloong dung dowa mih paatjaajih loong ah noisok ih thukta.
9 But some of those who belonged to the so-called synagogue of the Freedmen, and of the Cyrenaeans and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen;
Enoothong Jehudi rangsoomnok nawa Dalang saachoi (ngeh ih men rumta), mararah mina loong ah Stephen damdi daanmui e rumta, erah di Kiren nyia Alekjendria nawa Jehudi nok hah nep angta. Silisia nyia Esia hah nawa Jehudi loong ah nep ih Stephen damdi jengmui rumta.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Enoothong moong achaang ih Stephen suh erah likhiik chaan kota, heh jeng kano o uh tami daanjeng rumta.
11 Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and God.
Erah raangtaan ih mararah mih asuh tiit hu baatthuk rumta, “Seng ih bah Moses nyia Rangte kaanju arah chaat hi!”
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him to the council,
Emah ih diip mokwaan rum ano, noksong nyia mihak phokhoh loong, hootthe nyootsootte loong ah khat thuk rumta. Neng loong ah ih Stephen ah jorum ano Ngoongthum theng ni siitwan rumta.
13 and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place, and the Law.
Eno mih wajombaji ih tiit hu baat thuk suh ngeh ih waksiit rumta. “Arah mih,” ah ih “saarookwet seng Rangteenok nyia Moses Hootthe tiit ah pak thetbaat ha.
14 For we have heard him say, This Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.
Seng ih emah jeng arah chaat hi, Najaret dowa Jisu ih Rangteenok ah thaak haat ih ah eno Moses jiin nawa neem arang loong ah elek et ah!”
15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadily upon him, saw his face like the face of an angel.
Ngoongthum theng ni tongte loong ah ih Stephen taangko sok rum adi, hethe hekhoh ah rangsah the akhoh likhiik ih japtup rumta.
