Acts 6

1 During that time, many more people were becoming believers. [Some of them were from other countries and spoke only the Greek language, but most of them had always lived in Israel and spoke the Hebrew language]. Those who spoke Greek began to complain about those who spoke Hebrew. They were saying. “When [you Hebrew-speaking believers] distribute [food or money] to widows every day, you are not giving fair amounts to the widows who speak Greek!”

Hagi anama haza knafina, Jisasima amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za ome rama'a hazageno namba zamimo'a ame'nanempi mareri'zageno, Griki kema nehaza Jiu vahe'mo'za, Hibru kema nehaza Jiu kuma agafa vahetmina kanive rezamante'za, Mika zupa kave'ma fakoma hazana kento a'ne nagara antahi nozamize hu'za hu'naze.

2 So, [after the] twelve [apostles had heard what they were complaining about], they summoned all the [other] believers [in Jerusalem to meet] together. Then the apostles said [to those other believers], “We [(exc)] would not be doing right if we stopped [preaching and teaching] God’s message [about Jesus] in order to distribute food [MTY] [and money to the widows]!

Hage'za 12fu'a aposol naga'mo'za ana mika amage'ma nentaza disaipol kevu zamasmizage'za emeritru hazage'za anage hu'naze. Ne'zama fakohu zankuke nehuta Anumzamofo nanekema osanunana knarera osugahie.

3 So, fellow believers, carefully choose seven men from among you, men whom [you] know that the Spirit [of God] controls completely and who are very wise. Then we [(exc)] will appoint them to do this work,

E'ina hu'negu tafuhete, tamagra amu'no tamifinti keso'e hutma 7ni'a vahe'ma zamu'zmamo knare'ma hu'nesnia vahe'ma, Avamu'ene knare antahi'zamo'ma avitenesia vahe zamazeri otinke'za, esageta tagra ama erizana refako huta zamazampi antesune.

4 and we [(exc)] will devote our time to pray and to preach and teach the message [about Jesus].”

Hu'neanagi tagratia nunamu hu'zante'ene, Anumzamofo naneke'a huama huta veamofona zamasmita maka knafina vugahune.

5 What the apostles recommended pleased all of the [other] believers. So they group chose Stephen. He was a man who strongly believed [in God] and whom the Holy Spirit controlled completely. [They also chose] Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas who was from Antioch [city]. Nicolas had accepted the Jewish religion [before he had believed in Jesus].

Ana mika vahe kevumokizmia zamesige'za, ana hugahune nehu'za, ana 7ni'a vahe huhampri'naze, mago ne'ma hampona amentintine ne' Ruotge Avamu'mo agu'afima avite'nea nera Stiveni huhampriza Filipinki Prokulusinki Nikenorinki Taimoninki Pamenasima, mago Antioku ne' Nikolasi'a megi'a nagapinti ne'mo agu'a akrehe huno Jiu monopi amentinti nehia ne' huhampri'za zamaretru hu'naze.

6 They brought these [seven] men to the apostles. Then after the apostles prayed [for those men], they placed their hands on [the heads of each one of] them [to appoint them to do that work].

Ana hute'za ana vene'ne zaga zamare'za aposol nagate vazage'za zamaza ante'za, nunamu huzmante'naze.

7 So [the believers] continued to tell many people the message from God. (The number of people in Jerusalem who believed [in Jesus] was increasing greatly./More and more people in Jerusalem were believing in Jesus.) [Among them] were many [Jewish] priests who were believing the message [about Jesus].

Hagi Anumzamofo kemo'a mago'ane ra huno nevigeno, amagenentaza disaipol naga'mo'za Jerusalemi kumapina rama'a efore nehageno, ra'ma'a Jiu pristi vahe'mo'za zamentinti hu'za ke amage'anteme vu'naze.

8 God was enabling Stephen to do many things by God’s power. He was doing many amazing miracles among the [Jewish] people.

Ana higeno, Stivenina Anumzamofo asunkuzamo'ene hihamumo'a avite'negeno, tusi'a kaguva zane, avame'zanena vahe'mokizmi amunompina erifore hu'ne.

9 However, some people opposed Stephen. They were Jews from a group [that regularly met together in a Jewish meeting place that was] {[that people]} called the Freedmen’s Meeting Place. [Those people were from] Cyrene and Alexandria [cities] and [also] from Cilicia and Asia [provinces]. They all began to argue with Stephen.

Hianagi mago'a vene'ne zaga, Hibru osi mono nona (Sinagog Freman) vahe zamazeri atre monore nehazafinti Sairini kumate'ene, Aleksandria kumate'ene, mago'a Silisiane, Esia rankuma'mo kegava hu'nefinti (provins) vahe'mo'za oti'za Stivenina keha rente'naze.

10 But they were not able (to refute [what he said/to prove that what he said was wrong]), [because God’s] Spirit enabled him to speak very wisely.

Hianagi Stiveni'ma knare Avamu'mo'ma azama huno knare antahi'zana amigeno kema hiazamofona, zamagra magore hu'za kea osu'naze.

11 Then that group secretly persuaded [some] men to [falsely accuse Stephen. saying], “We [(exc)] heard him say bad things about Moses and God.”

Anante zamagra oku'a mago'a vahera anage hiho hu'za zamasmi'naze. Tagra nentahunkeno Mosesene, Anumzamofonena zanazeri havizahu kea hu'ne hutma hiho hu'naze.

12 So, [by saying that], they made the [other Jewish] people angry [at Stephen, including] the elders and the teachers of the [Jewish] laws. Then [they all] seized Stephen and took him to the Jewish Council.

Ana kema hazazamo vahera zamarimpa zamazeri otige'za, ranra vahe'mo'zane kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'zanena oti'za Stivenina eme avazu hu'za kanisol (Senhitren) vahe zamure vu'naze.

13 They [also] brought in some other men who accused Stephen falsely [about several things]. They said, “This fellow continually says bad things about this holy Temple and about the laws [that Moses received from God].

Zamagra pusante havigema hunte vahe zamaretageno, ana vahe'mo'za hu'za, Ama ne'mo'a, ontagneno Mosese kasegegu'ene, ra mono nonku enena huhaviza hunte'ne hu'za hu'naze.

14 Specifically, we [(exc)] have heard him say that this Jesus from Nazareth [town] will destroy this Temple and will tell us to obey different customs than Moses [taught our ancestors].”

Na'ankure tagra nentahunkeno ama nemo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Nazareti Jisasi'a eri haviza ruotge mono nona nehuno, Mosesi'ma tami'nea avu'ava'zana, eri atreno kahefa avu'ava eri fore hunaku nehie.

15 When all [the people] who were sitting in the Council [room heard that, and as they] all stared at Stephen, they saw that his face was [shining] [SIM] like the face of an angel.

Anankema huntaza fakohu'za kenaku nehu'za ana mika kva vahe'mo'za avugosafima kazana, avugosamo'a ankero vahe'mofo avugosamo masa hiaza hige'za ke'naze.
