Acts 6
1 And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily ministration,
E kindeno kar kwan mar jopuonjre ne medore, omiyo jo-Yahudi mane wacho dho jo-Yunani nochako ngʼur gi jo-Yahudi wetegi mane wacho dho Hibrania. Jo-Yahudi mane wacho dho jo-Yunani ne ywak ni mon ma chwogi othogi ne ojwangʼ kaluwore gi kony mar chiemo mane ipogo mon ma chwogi otho.
2 and the twelve, having called near the multitude of the disciples, said, 'It is not pleasing that we, having left the word of God, do minister at tables;
Wachno nomiyo joote apar gariyo ochoko jopuonjre duto kanyakla, mi giwachonegi niya, “Ok ber mondo wajwangʼ tich mar yalo Wach Nyasaye mondo wapog chiemo.
3 look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity,
Kuom mano, owetewa, yieruru ji abiriyo e dieru ka; joma ongʼere ni opongʼ gi Roho Maler kod rieko mondo waket tijni e lwetgi,
4 and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.'
eka wan wachiwre chuth ni tijwa mar lamo gi yalo Wach Nyasaye.”
5 And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
Paroni nomoro joma oyie kuom Kristo duto kanyakla, omiyo ne giyiero Stefano, ngʼat mopongʼ gi yie kendo gi Roho Maler, gi Filipo, kod Prokoro, gi Nikanor, gi Timon, gi Parmenas, kod Nikolao ja-Antiokia, ngʼat mane olokore oluwo din jo-Yahudi.
6 whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them [their] hands.
Negikelo jogi mi joote oyieyo lwetgi kuomgi kendo olamonegi.
7 And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Omiyo Wach Nyasaye nomedo landore, kendo kwan jopuonjre mane ni Jerusalem nomedore ahinya, kendo ji mangʼeny kuom jodolo nolokore moluwo yieno.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,
To Stefano mane en ngʼat mopongʼ gi ngʼwono kod teko mar Nyasaye, notimo ranyisi madongo miwuoro kod honni e dier ji.
9 and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen,
Kata kamano, jomoko nochako kedo kode. Jogi ne gin jokanyo mar oganda mane iluongo ni sinagogi mar wasumbini mogony. Ne gin jo-Yahudi modak Kurene, gi Aleksandria kod gwenge mag Kilikia kod Asia. Jogi nochako mino wach gi Stefano,
10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking;
to ne ok ginyal loyo riekone kod teko mar Roho mane owuoyogo.
11 then they suborned men, saying — 'We have heard him speaking evil sayings in regard to Moses and God.'
Bangʼe ne gisemo jomoko lingʼ-lingʼ mondo owach niya, “Ne wawinjo Stefano kawacho weche mag ayany kuom Musa gi Nyasaye.”
12 They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come upon [him], they caught him, and brought [him] to the sanhedrim;
Omiyo negitugo mirimb ji kaachiel gi jodong oganda kod jopuonj chik. Negimako Stefano mi gikele e nyim buch Sanhedrin.
13 they set up also false witnesses, saying, 'This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the law,
Eka negichiwo joneno mag miriambo, mane ojimbo wach kuome kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni osiko wuoyo marach kuom kama ler, kendo kuom Chik.
14 for we have heard him saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that Moses delivered to us;'
Nikech ne wawinje gi itwa kowacho ni Yesu ma ja-Nazarethni biro ketho hekaluni mi olok tim mane Musa omiyowa mondo waluw.”
15 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
Ji duto mane obedo e buch Sanhedrin ne ngʼiyo Stefano ma wengegi ok diemre, kendo negineno ka lela wangʼe chal gi lend wangʼ malaika.
