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.
Nambeambe katika masoba yee, muda idadi ya anapunzi ibile iyongekeya, lalamiko lya Ayahudi wa Kiyunani liytumbwi dhidi ya Baebrania, kwa sababu bajane babe babile bsahaulika katika mgao wa kila lisoba lya chakulya.
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.
Mitume komi ni ibele balikema likusanyiko lyote lya anapunzi na baya, “Ibile kwaa sahihi kwitu kulileka neno lya Nnongo na kuhudumia mezani.
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;
Kwa eyo, mwalongo, muchawe, analome saba, boka nkati yinu, bandu banoite, batwelile Roho na hekima, ambao twaweza kubakabidhi huduma yee.
4 but we will give ourselves closely to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Na twenga, twatendea daima katika kuloba na katika huduma ya neno.”
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,
Hotuba yabe yatiupendeza mkutano wote. Nga nyo, wakamchawa Stephano, mundu ywatwelile imani na Roho mtakatifu, na Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Paemena, na Nikolao, mwangofu boka Antiokia.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Baumini batileta bandu aba nnongi ya mitume, baalobya na baadae kuabekya maboko gabe.
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.
Nga nyo neno lya Nnongo lyatienea; na idadi ya anapunzi ilizidi yongekeya kolyo Yerusalemu; na idadi ngolo ya makuhani baiheshimiya imani.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
Stephano, ywatwelile neema na ngupu, abile akipanga maajabu na ishara ngolo nkati ya bandu.
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;
Lakini apo bainuka baadhi ya bandu afuasi ba Sinagogi lya Mahuru, na lya Bakirene na lya Baeskanderia, na baadhi boka Kilikia na Asia. Bandu aba babile bakilongela na Stephano.
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Lakini, baweza kwaa shindana na hekima na Roho ambayo Stephano abile akitumia katika longela.
11 Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and God.
Boka po batiashawishi baadhi ya bandu kwa siri no baya, “Tuyowine Stephano kalongela maneno ga kufuru dhidi ya Musa na dhidi ya Nnongo.
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,
Batibashuhudia bandu, apindo, na baandishi, na kuyenda kwa Stephano, wantabile na kunneta nnongi ya libaraza
13 and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place, and the Law.
batibaleta mashahidi ba ubocho, babaya, “mundu yoo akani kuleka longela mabaya dhidi ya eneo lee takatifu na saliya.
14 For we have heard him say, This Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.
Mana tumyowine kabaya panga ayoo Yesu wa Nazareti alowa kuharibu mahali hapa na kuibadili desturi tuliyokabodhiwa na Musa,”
15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadily upon him, saw his face like the face of an angel.
Kila yumo ywabile katika libaraza, kaelezea minyo yake kunlolekea Stephano, na bembe baubweni minyo gake ubile kati minyo ga malaika.
