Acts 6
1 But, in these days, the disciples, multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, in that, their widows, were being overlooked in the daily ministry.
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, calling near the throng of the disciples, said—It doth not seem, right, that, we, forsaking the word of God, should be ministering unto 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 But look out for yourselves, brethren, seven men from among you, who can be well-attested, full of Spirit and wisdom, —whom we will appoint over this need;
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, unto prayer and unto the ministry of the word, will give constant attention.
Eno juuba Rangte tiit ah rangsoom rangphoong ih jen nyootsoot ih.”
5 And the word was pleasing in the sight of all the throng; and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicholaus, 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, praying, they laid upon them their hands.
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, went on growing, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem continued to multiply exceedingly; a great multitude of the priests also, were becoming obedient unto 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 Now, Stephen, full of favour and power, began to do 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 there rose up certain of those out of the synagogue which is called [the synagogue] of them of Libertium and Cyrene and Alexandria, and certain of them from Cilicia and Asia, —disputing 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 could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking,
Enoothong moong achaang ih Stephen suh erah likhiik chaan kota, heh jeng kano o uh tami daanjeng rumta.
11 Then, they set on men who were saying—We have heard him speaking profane things 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, coming upon him, they caught him away, and led him into the high-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 they set up false witnesses, who said—This man, ceaseth not speaking things against this 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 saying—This Jesus the Nazarene, will overthrow this place, and will change the customs which, Moses, delivered unto 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, looking steadfastly at him, all they who were sitting in the high-council, saw his face, as if the face of a messenger;
Ngoongthum theng ni tongte loong ah ih Stephen taangko sok rum adi, hethe hekhoh ah rangsah the akhoh likhiik ih japtup rumta.
