Acts 6
1 Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
Bara sana keessa yommuu baayʼinni barattootaa dabalamaa deemetti Yihuudoonni Giriikota keessa jiraatan Ibrootatti guunguman; haadhonni hiyyeessaa Yihuudootaa nyaata guyyaa guyyaan hiramu keessatti hacuucamanii turaniitii.
2 And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables.
Kanaaf ergamoonni kudha lamaan barattoota hunda walitti qabanii akkana jedhaniin; “Maaddii tajaajiluuf jennee dubbii Waaqaa barsiisuu dhiisuun nuuf qajeelaa miti.
3 Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Kanaaf yaa obboloota isin namoota maqaa gaarii qaban kanneen Hafuura Qulqulluu fi ogummaan guutaman torba gidduu keessanii filadhaa. Nus itti gaafatama kana isaanitti kenninee,
4 But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
Waaqa kadhachuu fi dubbii isaa barsiisuutti jabaannaa.”
5 And the saying 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 Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
Wanni isaan jedhanis tuuta sana hunda gammachiise. Isaanis Isxifaanos namicha amantii fi Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutame tokko, akkasumas Fiiliphoosii fi Phirookoroosin, Niiqaaroonaa fi Xiimoonaa, Pharmeenaa fi Niqoolaas namicha Anxookiiyaa isa amantii Yihuudootaatti gale sana filatan.
6 whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Isaanis jara kana fuula ergamootaa dura dhaaban; ergamoonnis Waaqa kadhataniifii harka isaan irra kaaʼan.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Dubbiin Waaqaa ni babalʼate; baayʼinni barattootaas Yerusaalem keessatti akka malee dabalame; luboonni hedduun amantii kanaaf ajajaman.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
Isxifaanos ayyaanaa fi humna Waaqaatiin guutamee dinqii fi mallattoo gurguddaa namoota gidduutti hojjette.
9 But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
Miseensonni mana sagadaa warra, “Namoota bilisooman” jedhamanii, jechuunis Yihuudoonni Qareenaa fi Iskindiriyaadhaa dhufan akkasumas Yihuudoonni Kiilqiyaa fi Asiyaadhaa dhufan tokko tokko Isxifaanosiin mormuu jalqaban.
10 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.
Isaan garuu ogummaa isaa yookaan Hafuura Qulqulluu inni ittiin dubbatu sanaan mormuu hin dandeenye.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
Kanaafuu akka isaan, “Nu utuu Isxifaanos Musee fi Waaqa irratti dubbii arrabsoo dubbatuu dhageenyeerra” jedhaniif dhoksaan namoota tokko tokko sossobatan.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,
Isaanis uummata, maanguddootaa fi barsiistota seeraa kakaasan. Isxifaanosiinis qabanii fuula waldaa Yihuudootaa duratti isa dhiʼeessan.
13 and set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:
Dhuga baatota sobduus qopheeffatan; isaanis akkana jedhan; “Namichi kun iddoo qulqulluu kanaa fi seeraan mormuu takkumaa hin dhiifne.
14 for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.
Nu isaa, ‘Yesuus namni Naazreeti kun iddoo kana ni diiga; seera Museen nuu kennes ni geeddara’ jedhu dhageenyeerra.”
15 And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Warri waldaa sana keessa turan hundi ija babaasanii Isxifaanosin ilaalanii akka fuuli isaa akkuma fuula ergamaa Waaqaa taʼe argan.
