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.
Lyahanu mwaanu mazuva, linu impalo ya valutwana haiva kukabwinjiha, impiraero ya Magerike va Majuda chiyatanga Kulwisa Maheveru, kakuti imberwa zavo zivali kuketululwa mwizuva ni zuva lya kuholiswa kwa zilyo.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
Vena ikumi ni vovele chivasupi chinavungi cha varutwana kuvali ni kuti, “kakwina hande kwetu kuti tusiye liinzwi lye Ireeza niku taha he ntafule.
3 Wherefore, 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.
Mu swanera lyahanu kuketa, vakwaluzuvo, bakwame vakwana iyanza ni vovere mukatikenu, bakwame vene vuhalo vulotu, ve zwile luhuho ni vutali. Avo vatuwola kuketa mwei impisinisi.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Haili iswe, katuzwire havusu mwi intapero ni mukukutaza liinzwi.”
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:
Zi wambo zavo ziva tavisi chinavungi chonse. Linu chivaketa Sitefani, mukwame yowizwire intumelo ni Luhuho Lujolola, ni Filipi, ni Porokoras, ni Nikonora, ni Timoni, ni Parmemasi, ni Nikolasi muprositelite yozwa kwa Antiyoke.
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid [their] hands on them.
Varumeri vavaleti ava vakwame havusu vwa vapositola, vava lapeli ni ku tula mayanza avo havali.
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.
Chovulyo linzwi lya Ireeza liva weli; imi impalo ya varutwana ivayekezehi mwa Jerusarema nikuhitiliza; mi impalo yingi ya vapurisita ivakezi kukuteka intumelo.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and miracles among the people.
Lyahanu Sitefani, avezwile chisemo ni maata, ava kupanga inkezo zikomokisa ni imboniso mukati kavaantu.
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.
Kono chikweza kuzimana vantu wa wila kumasinagoge asumpwa masinagoge alukuluhite, va kwa Serina ni Alexandriya, nivamwi vazwa kwa Silicia ni Asia. Ava vaantu vava kukandekisana ni Sitefani.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke.
Kono kana vava kuwola kuzimana kulwisanisa vutali ni Luhuho ulo lwa vakuwamba chalo Sitefani.
11 Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
Linu che inkunutu chiva susuweza vamwi vakwame kuwamba, “Twazuwa Sitefani na wamba maanzwi akunyefula Mushe ni Ireeza.”
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,
Vava vengisi vaantu, vakulwana, ni vañoli, mi chiva yenda kwa Sitefani, ni kumukaheeka, ni kumuleeta kunkuta.
13 And set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
Vava leti impaki zamapa, vava wambi, “Uzu mukwame kaleki kuwamba maanzwi alwisanisa chivaka chichena ni mulao.
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.
Kakuti tuvamuzuwi nawamba kuti Jesu wa Nazareta usaka kushinya ichi chivaka ni ku chincha milawo yavaleti Mushe hansi kwetu.”
15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Vaantu vonse vavekele munkuta vava twalite menso avo kwali mi chivavona chifateho chakwe ni chikola ili chifateho che Iñeloi.
