Acts 6
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
Are xekꞌiyar ri kojonelabꞌ, ri winaq ri ketzijon pa griego kibꞌ xkibꞌij chi ri e kꞌi malkaꞌnibꞌ man junam ta tajin kabꞌan chike kukꞌ ri malkaꞌnibꞌ ri kechꞌaw pa hebreo man katzꞌaqat ta ri kiwa.
2 The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ ri e kabꞌlajuj tijoxelabꞌ xeꞌkimulij konojel ri kojonelabꞌ, xkibꞌij chike: Uj, uj taqoꞌn rech ri Dios, ri qachak are utzijoxik xuqujeꞌ ukꞌutik ri utzij ri Dios, man are ta ri ujachik ri wa.
3 Therefore, select from amongst you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Qachalal, chitzukuj wuqubꞌ achyabꞌ chiꞌxoꞌl. Ri kenimax kumal ri winaq, ri kꞌo ri Uxlabꞌixel pa kanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, are waꞌ kekanajik chubꞌanik we patanijik riꞌ.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
Rajawaxik chi ri uj, ri uj taqoꞌn are kaqilij ubꞌanik ri chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ kaqaya ri kꞌutuꞌn rech ri utzij ri Dios.
5 These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
Utz xkita konojel ri xbꞌix chike xeꞌkichaꞌ kꞌu ri Esteban (jun achi ri kꞌo nimalaj ukojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ nojinaq che ri Uxlabꞌixel) xuqujeꞌ ri Felipe, ri Prócoro, ri Nicanor, ri Timón, ri Parmenas xuqujeꞌ ri Nicolás aj Antioquía, (are waꞌ ri xkojonik che ri kꞌutuꞌn ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel).
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Aꞌre waꞌ ri wuqubꞌ achyabꞌ ri xekꞌam loq chikiwach ri uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Jesús, ri taqoꞌn xkiya kiqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri xeꞌkichaꞌo xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌan chꞌawem.
7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Xjabꞌun kꞌu ubꞌixik ri utzij ri Dios rumal riꞌ xekꞌiyar ri e kojonelabꞌ pa Jerusalén, xuqujeꞌ xekojon e kꞌi pareyibꞌ xuqujeꞌ winaq aꞌj Israel.
8 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs amongst the people.
Ri Esteban nojinaq che tewechibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ukwinem ri Dios xubꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq kukꞌ ri winaq.
9 But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.
Jun qꞌijal kꞌut jujun achyabꞌ aꞌj Israel ri kepe pa ri tinimit Cirene, pa Alejandría, xuqujeꞌ pa Cilicia rech Asia ri kebꞌe pa ri Sinagoga ubꞌiꞌnam patanijelabꞌ ri e tzoqopitalik. Xkichapleꞌj ukꞌululaꞌxik uwach ri utzij ri Esteban.
10 They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun chike xuchꞌek ri etaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri kwinem ri kꞌo rukꞌ ri Esteban are kachꞌawik.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
Xaq jeriꞌ xkikoj kikꞌuꞌx jujun achyabꞌ rech kakibꞌij chi xkita ri Esteban chi xubꞌij awas taq tzij che ri Moisés xuqujeꞌ che ri Dios.
12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
Ri winaq are xkita we tzij riꞌ xyakataj koyawal, ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe, xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xkichap ri Esteban xkikꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri qꞌatal taq tzij.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
Xeꞌkimok winaq rech kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij kakibꞌij: We achi riꞌ kubꞌij awas taq tzij che ri Templo xuqujeꞌ che ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
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.”
Qatom kubꞌij chi ri Jesús aj Nazaret kutukij na ri Templo xuqujeꞌ kukꞌex na ronojel ri ukꞌutum kan ri Moisés chiqawach.
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Ri qꞌatal taq tzij ko xkikaꞌyej ri Esteban rumal chi ri upalaj xuchapleꞌj chuplinem jetaq kubꞌan ri upalaj jun ángel.
