Acts 6
1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
Mbe oli munsiku ejo, ao obhukumi bhwa bheigisibhwa bhwaliga nibhukanya, lilalamiko lya bhayaudi bhe chiyunani nilingira mubhaebrania, kunjuno abhasigwa bhebhwe bhaliga mbabharabhirwa mumugabho gwe bhiryo bhya bhuli lusiku.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples, and said, It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
Jintumwa ekumi ne bhili bhabhilikiye likofyanya lyona lya bheigisibhwa mbaika ati, “Itali kisi okusiga omusango gwa Nyamuanga no kufurubhenda kumeja.
3 Therefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Mbe oli, bhasu, musole, abharume musanju, okusoka agati yemwe, abhanu bhekisi, abho bhejuye Omwoyo no bhwengeso, abho echitura okuyana obhufurubhendi bhunu.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Eswona, echigenderera mwisabhwa no musango gwa Nyamuanga.”
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
Inyaika yebhwe nikonderesha likofyanya ryona. Kurwejo, mbamusola Stefano, omunu oyo ejuye elikirisha no Mwoyo Omweru, na Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolao, omuchuguki okusoka Antiokia.
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Abhekirisha mbabhaleta abhanu bhanu imbele ya jintumwa, mbasabhwa na mbamara mbabhatelako amabhoko gebhwe.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Kurwejo, omusango gwa Nyamuanga gwasuganile; no bhukumi bhwa bheigisibhwa mbukanya okwiyongesha eyo Yerusalemu; no bhukumi bhwanfu bhwa bhabhambasi mbalamila elikirisha.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and miracles among the people.
Na Stefano, oyo ejuye echigongo na managa, aliga nakora ebhiruguro ne bhibharikisho bhyanfu mubhumwi bhwa bhanu.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
Mbe nawe ao mbemuka abhanu abhandi bhali bhayemba bha lisinagogi ndibhilikirwa lisinagogi rya Mahuru, ne rya Bhakirene ne rya Bhaeskanderia, na bhandi okusoka Kilikia na Asia. Abhanu bhanu bhaliga mbabhushanya na Stefano.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke.
Mbe nawe, bhatatulire okubhambashanya no bhwengeso no Mwoyo ogwo Stefano aliga nakorera okuroma.
11 Then they secretly induced men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
Mbamara mbakongya abhanu okuroma imbisike ati, “Chamongwa Stefano naroma emisango jo kugaya obhukumi bhwa Musa no bhwa Nyamuanga.”
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
Mbabhayatika abhanu, abhakaruka, na bhandiki, no kumulubha Stefano, mbamugwata, no kumusila imbele ya libharaja.
13 And set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
Mbaleta abhabhambasi bho rulimi, abho bhaikire, “omunu unu atakusiga kwaika emisango emibhibhi jitasikene ne chalo chinu echeru ne bhiragiro.
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered to us.
Kwo kubha chamunguwe naika ati Yesu unu wa Nazareti kanyamula orukiji lunu no kuyindura ebhwitonde bhinu chayanilwe na Musa.”
15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Bhuli umwi oyo aliga ali mwibharaja, nalosha ameso gaye okumurorera Stefano, mbabhurora obhusu bhwaye bhuli nko bhwa malaika.
