Acts 6
1 But in tho daies, whanne the noumbre of disciplis encreesside, the Grekis grutchiden ayens the Ebrews, for that her widewis weren dispisid in euery daies mynystryng.
Awo mu biseera ebyo abakkiriza bwe baagenda beeyongera obungi, ne wabaawo okwemulugunya mu Bakerenisiti ku Baebbulaniya nti bannamwandu baabwe basosolwa, ne bataweebwa kyenkanyi.
2 And the twelue clepiden togidere the multitude of disciplis, and seiden, It is not ryytful, that we leeuen the word of God, and mynystren to boordis.
Awo ekkumi n’ababiri ne bakuŋŋaanya ekibiina ky’abayigirizwa, ne babagamba nti, “Kirungi ebiseera byaffe tubimalire ku kubuulira Njiri, so si mu kugabanya mmere.
3 Therfor, britheren, biholde ye men of you of good fame, ful of the Hooli Goost and of wisdom, whiche we schulen ordeyne on this werk;
Noolwekyo, abooluganda, mwerondemu abasajja musanvu, abasiimibwa abantu, ng’abantu b’amagezi, era abajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, tubakwase omulimu ogwo.
4 for we schulen be bisi to preier, and preche the word of God.
Ffe tulyoke twemalire ku kusaba, n’okubuulira n’okuyigiriza.”
5 And the word pleside bifor al the multitude; and thei chesiden Styuen, a man ful of feith and of the Hooli Goost, and Filip, and Procore, and Nycanor, and Tymon, and Parmanam, and Nycol, a comelyng, a man of Antioche.
Ebigambo ebyo byonna abaakuŋŋaana ne babisiima. Ne balonda Suteefano, omusajja eyali ajjudde okukkiriza ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ne Firipo, ne Pulokolo, ne Nikanoli, ne Timooni, ne Pammena, ne Nikolaawo eyava mu Antiyokiya,
6 Thei ordeyneden these bifor the siyt of apostlis, and thei preyeden, and leiden hoondis on hem.
ne babanjula eri abatume. Abatume ne babasabira, ne babasaako emikono.
7 And the word of the Lord wexide, and the noumbre of the disciplis in Jerusalem was myche multiplied; also myche cumpany of preestis obeiede to the feith.
Awo ekigambo kya Katonda ne kyeyongera okubuna n’omuwendo gw’abayigirizwa ne gweyongera obunene mu Yerusaalemi; era ne bakabona, ekibiina kinene, ne beewaayo okukkiriza.
8 And Steuen, ful of grace and of strengthe, made wondris and grete signes in the puple.
Suteefano, ng’ajjudde ekisa kya Katonda n’amaanyi, n’akolanga ebyamagero bingi n’obubonero mu bantu.
9 But summe rysen of the synagoge, that was clepid of Libertyns, and Cirenensis, and of men of Alisaundre, and of hem that weren of Cilice and of Asie, and disputiden with Steuene.
Naye abamu ku b’omu kuŋŋaaniro abeeyitanga Abalibettino, n’Abakuleene n’Abalegezanderiya, n’Abakirukiya n’Abasiya, ne bawakana ne Suteefano.
10 And thei miyten not withstonde the wisdom and the spirit, that spak.
Kyokka tebaasobola kuwakanya magezi n’Omwoyo bye yayogeza.
11 Thanne thei priueli senten men, that schulden seie, that thei herden hym seiynge wordis of blasfemye ayens Moises and God.
Kyebaava baweerera abantu nga bagamba nti twamuwulira ng’ayogera ebigambo ebivvoola Musa ne Katonda.
12 And so thei moueden togidere the puple, and the eldre men, and the scribis; and thei rannen togidre, and token hym, and brouyten in to the counsel.
Abantu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne banyiiga nnyo. Ne bakwata Suteefano ne bamuleeta mu Lukiiko Olukulu.
13 And thei ordeyneden false witnessis, that seiden, This man ceessith not to speke wordis ayens the hooli place, and the lawe.
Abajulizi ab’obulimba ne boogera nti, “Omuntu ono buli kiseera avvoola ekifo kino ekitukuvu n’amateeka.
14 For we herden hym seiynge, That this Jhesus of Nazareth schal destrye this place, and schal chaunge the tradiciouns, whiche Moyses bitook to us.
Era twamuwulira ng’agamba nti Yesu ono Omunnazaaleesi agenda kuzikiriza ekifo kino n’obulombolombo bwonna Musa bwe yatulekera abukyuse.”
15 And alle men that seten in the counsel bihelden hym, and sayn his face as the face of an aungel.
Ab’Olukiiko bwe baamwekaliriza amaaso, ne balaba amaaso ge ng’amasamasa ng’aga malayika!
