Acts 6
1 AND in those days the disciples being many, the Javnoyee disciples murmured against the Ebroyee because their widows were slighted in the daily ministration.
En aquellos días, creciendo el número de los discípulos, hubo murmuración de los griegos contra los hebreos, de que sus viudas eran menospreciadas en el ministerio cotidiano.
2 And the twelve apostles called all the assembly of the disciples and said to them, It is not fit that we should leave the word of Aloha, and serve tables.
Así que, los doce convocaron la multitud de los discípulos, y dijeron: No es justo que nosotros dejemos la palabra de Dios, y sirvamos a las mesas.
3 Look out therefore, brethren, and choose seven men from you who have testimony concerning them, and are full of the Spirit of the Lord and wisdom, and we will appoint them over this matter.
Buscad pues, hermanos, siete varones de vosotros de buen testimonio, llenos del Espíritu Santo y de sabiduría, los cuales pongamos en esta obra.
4 And we will be constant in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.
Y nosotros persistiremos en la oración, y en el ministerio de la palabra.
5 And this saying was pleasing before all the people; and they chose Estephanos, a man who was full of faith and the Spirit of Holiness; and Philipos, and Prokoros, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmena, and Nikolos, a proselyte of Antiokia.
Y agradó el parecer a toda la multitud; y eligieron a Esteban, varón lleno de fe y del Espíritu Santo, a Felipe, a Prócoro, a Nicanor, a Timón, a Parmenas, y a Nicolás, prosélito de Antioquía;
6 And these they set before the apostles: and while praying they laid upon them the hand.
a éstos presentaron delante de los apóstoles, los cuales orando les pusieron las manos encima.
7 And the word of Aloha increased, and the number of the disciples increased in Urishlem greatly: and much people of the Jihudoyee were obedient to the faith.
Y crecía la palabra del Señor, y el número de los discípulos se multiplicaba mucho en Jerusalén; también mucha compañía de los sacerdotes obedecía a la fe.
8 But Estephanos was filled with grace and power, and wrought signs and miracles among the people.
Pero Esteban, lleno de fe y de potencia, hacía prodigios y milagros grandes en el pueblo.
9 And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos,
Se levantaron entonces unos de la sinagoga que se llama de los libertinos, y cireneos, y alejandrinos, y de los de Cilicia, y de Asia, disputando con Esteban.
10 and were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him.
Mas no podían resistir a la sabiduría y al Espíritu que hablaba.
11 Then they sent men and instructed them to say, We have heard him speak words of blasphemy against Musha and against Aloha.
Entonces sobornaron a unos que dijesen que le habían oído hablar palabras blasfemas contra Moisés y Dios.
12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the sophree, and came and rose upon him, and carried him away and brought him into the midst of the assembly.
Y conmovieron al pueblo, y a los ancianos, y a los escribas; y arremetiendo le arrebataron, y le trajeron al concilio.
13 AND witnesses of falsehood arose, and said, This man ceases not from speaking words contrary to the law and against this holy place.
Y pusieron testigos falsos, que dijesen: Este hombre no cesa de hablar palabras blasfemas contra este lugar santo y la ley;
14 For we have heard him say that this Jeshu Natsroya shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Musha delivered unto us.
porque le hemos oído decir, que Jesús de Nazaret destruirá este lugar, y cambiará las tradiciones que nos dio Moisés.
15 And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel.
Entonces todos los que estaban sentados en el concilio, puestos los ojos en él, vieron su rostro como el rostro de un ángel.
