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.
Pamberi, walanga ya wafundwa paweriti iyongerekiti, kulawiriti magugumiru pakati pa walongu yawayoweriti Shigiriki na walii yawayoweriti Shiebraniya. Walii yawayoweriti Shigiriki wagugumiliti handa wakenja wawu waweriti wankuwalyaluwa pakati ubagulira wa mafiru ga kila lishaka.
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.
Hangu, wafundwa lilongu na wawili washemiti shipinga shoseri sha wafundwa, walonga, “iherepa ndiri twenga tuleki kushibwera shisoweru sha Mlungu su tugolokeri ubagulira wa nfiru.
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.
Hangu, walongu wetu, msyaguli muwamu wenu wantu saba wana zyuma iherepa, wamemitwi na Rohu na wana luhala, na twenga hatuwapanani lihengu ali.
4 But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
Twenga, kumbiti, hatushuguliki na sala na lihengu lya kubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu.”
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:
Shitwatira ashi shiherepa kwa shipinga shoseri. Wawasagula stefanu, muntu yakawera na njimiru nkulu na kumema Rohu Mnanagala, Filipi na Prokoru na Nikanori na Timoni na Parimena na Nikolayi muntu gwa Antiokiya yomberi kwanja kaweriti mudini ya Shiyawudi.
6 whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Wawatula kulongolu kwa ntumintumi, nawomberi wawaluwira na kuwatulira mawoku.
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.
Shisoweru sha Mlungu shiziditi kweneya na walanga ya wafundwa aku Yerusalemu iyongerekiti nentu, na shipinga shikulu sha watambika wa numba ya Mlungu waiyanka njimiru.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
Mlungu kamupananiti Stefanu manemu gavuwa, kampanana likakala livuwa ata kawera kankutenda mauzauza na makangashu pakati pa wantu.
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.
Kumbiti wantu tunga walawira su walikakatali na Stefanu. Wantu wamu awa waweriti wa numba ya Mlungu yimu yaishemwa “Numba ya Mlungu ya wantu lekeru.” Nawomberi walawira Kureni na Alekizandiriya, wamonga walawira Kilikiya na Asiya.
10 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.
Kumbiti wasinditi kumkanga toziya ya luhala lwakuwi na toziya ya ulii Rohu yakamlongoziyiti shipindi pakatakuliti.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
Hangu wawahongiti wantu wamu watakuli, “tumpikinira Stefani pakatakula shisoweru sha kumwigira Musa na kumwigira Mlungu.”
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,
Ntambu ayi, wasonguziyiti wantu, wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru. Su, wamwizira Stefani, wambata na kumjega kulongolu Kushizyungu shikulu.
13 and set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:
Wajegiti Pashizyungu wakapitawu wa mpaya weni watakuliti, “Muntu ayu kaleka ndiri kupayigira pahala panu pananagala na malagaliru ga Musa.
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.
Toziya tumpikiniriti kala pakatakula eti Yesu ayu gwa Nazareti hakapahalibisii nakamu pahala panu na kuwusilira kutali ntambu zilii zyatwangiti kulawa kwa Musa.”
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.
Woseri yawaweriti mushikawu sha Shizyungu wamloliti dii Stefani, washiwona sheni shakuwi handa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi.
