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.
Muaki mu bilumbu bina, thalu yi minlonguki yibuelama, Bayuda bobo baba tubanga kingeleki baniungutina Bayuda bobo baba tubanga Kiebelewo. Bila mu thangu kabula bidia bi lumbu ka lumbu baba babanzilangamafuola mawu mu bufuana.
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.
Buna kumi bamvuala buadi zitumisa nkangu wu minlonguki, baba kamba: —Busi fuana ko ti tubika buela longa mambu ma Nzambi muingi tukabulanga bidia!
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.
Zikhomba, sobulanu tsambudi di batu, bobo badi kimbangi kimboti, badi bawala mu Pheve Yinlongo ayi badi diela muingi tuba vana kisalu kioki.
4 But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
Vayi beto, tueka yekimina kisalu kisambila ayi kilonga!
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:
Nkangu woso wumona khini mu diambu di mambu momo. Diawu basobudila Etieni, mutu wuba wuwala mu minu ayi wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo; Filipi, Polokoli, Nikanoli, Timoni, Palimenasi ayi Nikola, muisi Antioshi wukituka Nyuda.
6 whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Baba tuala va ntuala bamvuala. Bamvuala bu zisambila, babatetika mioko.
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.
Mambu ma Nzambi maluta buela tembakana; thalu yi minlonguki yiluta buelama mu Yelusalemi ayi banganga Nzambi bawombo ziwilukila.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
Etieni wuba wuwala mu nlemvo ayi mu lulendo, wuvangamambu manneni ayi bikumu biwombo va khatitsika batu.
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.
Buna batu bankaka ba nzo lukutukunu, lolo baba tedilanga nzo lukutukunu lu batu bakulu mu buvika va kimosi ayi batu basi Silene, basi Alesandeli ayi basi Silisi ayi basi Azi, batona findana ziphaka ayi Etieni.
10 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.
Vayi basia nunga ko va ntuala diela ayi Pheve yoyi yika yolukila.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
Vana vawu bafuta batu muingi batuba ti: —Beto tuwilu mutu wawu wulembo yoluka mambu mamvuezolo mu diambu di Moyize ayi mu diambu di Nzambi.
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,
Bakitumuna khindu muidi batu, muidi bakulutu, muidi minsoniki mi Mina; bayiza kuidi Etieni, bankanga ayi bannata va ntuala lukutukunu lu minyadi.
13 and set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:
Batotula bambangi baluvunu, zituba ti: —Mutu wawu kakadi vonga mu yolukanga mambu mambimbi mu diambu di buangu kiaki kinlongo ayi mu diambu di Mina.
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.
Bila tuwilu boso kabedi tuba ti Yesu diodi di muisi Nazaleti, wela tiolomuna buangu kiaki ayi wela viakisa bifu bi tulonga Moyize.
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.
Vayi meso ma batu boso bobo baba mu lukutukunu lu minyadi masungimina tala Etieni. Bamona zizi kiandi kikituka banga zizi ki mbasi.
