Acts 6
1 And in those days, when the disciples had become numerous, the Grecian disciples murmured against the Hebrew, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration to the needy.
Matam aduda tung-inbasinggi masing asum yamkhatlaklabada, Greek lon ngangba Jihudisingna Hebrew lon ngangba Jihudisinggi mathakta pendaba haibadi makhoigi lukhrabisingbu chana-thaknaba yenthokpada thouoibide haibagi wakat thanggatlammi.
2 And the twelve legates convoked the whole company of the disciples, and said to them: It is not proper, that we should neglect the word of God, and serve tables.
Maram asina pakhonchatpa taranithoi aduna thajaba makhoi pumnamak kouraga hairak-i, “Chana-thaknabagi thougal tounabagidamak eikhoina Tengbang Mapugi wa sandokpa thouoidaba chumloi.
3 Therefore brethren, search out, and elect from among you, seven men of whom there is good testimony, men full of the Spirit of the Lord, and of wisdom; that we may place them over this business:
Ichil-inaosa, eikhoina thabak asi sinnanaba nakhoigi naraktagi Thawai Asengbana amadi lousingna thanba mioi taret khandok-u.
4 and we will continue in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.
Aduga eikhoidi haijabada amadi Tengbang Mapugi wa thougal toubada eikhoigi matam pumnamak pige.”
5 And this proposal was acceptable before all the people. And they elected Stephen, a man who was full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas an Antiochian proselyte.
Hairiba wapham asida makhoi loina pellammi. Aduna thajaba amadi Thawai Asengbana thanba Stephen-bu makhoina khandokle aduga Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas amadi Antioch-tagi Jihudi lainingda ollaklaba Nicolas-su khandokle.
6 These stood before the legates; and when they had prayed, they laid the hand on them.
Makhoina hairiba nupasing asi pakhonchatpasinggi maphamda purakle aduga pakhonchatpasingna makhoigidamak haijabirammi amadi makhoigi mathakta khut thambirammi.
7 And the word of God increased, and the number of disciples was enlarged at Jerusalem greatly; and many people from among the Jews, were obedient to the faith.
Maram aduna Tengbang Mapugi wa makha tana leptana sandoklammi. Jerusalem-da tung-inbasinggi masing asum yamna hen-gatlaklammi aduga purohit mayam amasu thajaba asi lousillammi.
8 And Stephen was full of grace and energy; and he wrought signs and prodigies among the people.
Tengbang Mapugi thoujal amadi panggalna thallaba Stephen-na misinggi marakta achouba angakpa thabaksing amadi khudamsing tourammi.
9 And there rose up some of the synagogue which is called that of the freed men, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and persons from Cilicia and from Asia; and they disputed with Stephen.
Adubu Cyrene amadi Alexandria-dagi Jihudising yaoba Ningtamlaba Misinggi synagogue haina kounaba adugi mising kharana mahakki maiyokta leplammi. Makhoi amadi Cilicia amasung Asia lamdamsinggi Jihudisingna Stephen-da marei yetnaba hourammi.
10 And they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit that spoke by him.
Adubu Stephen-na ngangba matamda Thawaina pibiba lousing adugi maiyokta makhoina leppa ngamlamde.
11 Then they sent men, and instructed them to say: We have heard him speak words of blasphemy, against Moses and against God.
Maram aduna makhoina mi kharabu insinduna asumna haihallak-i, “Mahakna Moses amadi Tengbang Mapugi maiyokta thina ngangba eikhoina tare”
12 And they excited the people, and the Elders, and the Scribes; and they came, and rose upon him, and seized him, and carried him into the midst of the council.
Asumna makhoina mising, ahal-lamansing amadi Wayel Yathanggi ojasingbu irang houhallammi. Adudagi makhoina Stephen-bu pharaga Sanhedrin-gi mangda purakle.
13 And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to utter words contrary to the law, and against this holy place.
Makhoina mahakki maramda aranba sakhi pihannanaba mi khara purakle. Makhoina hairak-i, “Mi asina eikhoigi asengba Mapugi Sanglen amadi Wayel Yathanggi maiyokta ngangba tokpa leite.
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus the Nazarean will destroy this place, and will change the rites which Moses delivered to you.
Nazareth-ki Jisuna Mapugi Sanglen asi thugaigani amadi Moses-na eikhoida pibiramba chatnabising adu mahakna honghan-gani haina haiba eikhoina tare.”
15 And all they who were sitting in the council looked upon him, and they beheld his face, as the face of an angel.
Sanhedrin aduda phamliba pumnamakna Stephen-da munna yenglammi aduga mahakki maithong adu swargadut amagi maithonggum urami.
