Acts 6
1 About this time, when the number of the disciples was constantly increasing, complaints were made by the Jews of foreign birth against the native Jews, that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.
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 The Twelve, therefore, called together the general body of the disciples and said to them: “It is not well for us to see to the distribution at the tables and neglect God’s Message.
Maram asina pakhonchatpa taranithoi aduna thajaba makhoi pumnamak kouraga hairak-i, “Chana-thaknabagi thougal tounabagidamak eikhoina Tengbang Mapugi wa sandokpa thouoidaba chumloi.
3 Therefore, Brothers, look for seven men of reputation among yourselves, wise and spiritually-minded men, and we will appoint them to attend to this matter;
Ichil-inaosa, eikhoina thabak asi sinnanaba nakhoigi naraktagi Thawai Asengbana amadi lousingna thanba mioi taret khandok-u.
4 while we, for our part, will devote ourselves to Prayer, and to the delivery of the Message.”
Aduga eikhoidi haijabada amadi Tengbang Mapugi wa thougal toubada eikhoigi matam pumnamak pige.”
5 This proposal was unanimously agreed to; and the disciples chose Stephen — a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit — and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, a former convert to Judaism;
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 and they brought these men to the Apostles, who, after praying, placed their hands on them.
Makhoina hairiba nupasing asi pakhonchatpasinggi maphamda purakle aduga pakhonchatpasingna makhoigidamak haijabirammi amadi makhoigi mathakta khut thambirammi.
7 So God’s Message spread, and the number of the disciples continued to increase rapidly in Jerusalem, and a large body of the priests accepted 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 Meanwhile Stephen, divinely helped and strengthened, was showing great wonders and signs among the people.
Tengbang Mapugi thoujal amadi panggalna thallaba Stephen-na misinggi marakta achouba angakpa thabaksing amadi khudamsing tourammi.
9 But some members of the Synagogue known as that of Libertines, Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and Visitors from Cilicia and Roman Asia, were roused to action and began disputing 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 yet they were quite unable to withstand the wisdom and the inspiration with which he spoke.
Adubu Stephen-na ngangba matamda Thawaina pibiba lousing adugi maiyokta makhoina leppa ngamlamde.
11 Then they induced some men to assert that they had heard Stephen saying blasphemous things 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 stirred up the people, as well as the Councillors and the Teachers of the Law, and set upon Stephen, and arrested him, and brought him before the High Council.
Asumna makhoina mising, ahal-lamansing amadi Wayel Yathanggi ojasingbu irang houhallammi. Adudagi makhoina Stephen-bu pharaga Sanhedrin-gi mangda purakle.
13 There they produced witnesses who gave false evidence. “This man,” they said, “is incessantly saying things against this Holy Place and the Law;
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 indeed, we have heard him declare that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this Place, and change the customs handed down to us by Moses.”
Nazareth-ki Jisuna Mapugi Sanglen asi thugaigani amadi Moses-na eikhoida pibiramba chatnabising adu mahakna honghan-gani haina haiba eikhoina tare.”
15 The eyes of all the members of the Council were riveted upon Stephen, and they saw his face looking like the face of an angel.
Sanhedrin aduda phamliba pumnamakna Stephen-da munna yenglammi aduga mahakki maithong adu swargadut amagi maithonggum urami.
