Kitetidayta Ootho 6

1 Ammanizayta qooday dari dari biza wode girkke biittafe yida ayhuda asati yudan diza ayhuda asa bolla garssara zigiretida, gasooykka wursio wode miza kaathi gishishe ammiista wudan yegontta aggida gishasiko.

NOW in those days, when the disciples were multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian proselytes against the Hebrews, because their widows were overlooked in the daily distribution.

2 Hessa gish nu taammane namm7u kittetidayti ammaniza harata issi bolla shishshidi “Nuni kaathi gishshetho ooson gellidi Xoossa qaala tammariso agganas beesena” gida.

Then the twelve assembling the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not fit that we should leave the word of God, to make distribution to the tables.

3 Hessa gish nu ishshato inte garssafe ciniccata, xiillo ayanan kummidaytane loo7o markkateeth dizayta lappun asi doorte, hayssa halafeteth nu isttas immana.

Therefore, brethren, do ye look out for seven men from among yourselves, the best approved, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint to superintend this business.

4 Nuni gidiko wossanine qaala yooton minnana.

But we will devote ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

5 Istti gida yoyi siyidayta uhaaththaayssides, Ammanonine xiillo ayanan kummidayt Isxxifanose, Philliphosa, Phirisqqorossa, Niqqarona, ximmona, Pharmmenane Yudatethan gellida anxxokiya dere asa gidida Niqqolossa doorda.

And this saying was very agreeable to all the multitude: and they elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas a proselyte a man of Antioch:

6 Heyta ehidi kittetidayta sinthth shishshida, istikka ba kushshe istta bolla wothidi isttas wossida.

whom they presented before the apostles: and having prayed, they laid their hands upon them.

7 Xoossa qaalay aakki aakki bides, ammannizayta qooday yerussalamen dari dari bides, qeessistape darooti ammanida.

And the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied greatly; and a vast body of the priests were obedient to the faith.

8 He wode isxxifanosey Xoossa immotethanine wolqan kummid dereza garssan giitta malalisiza malatata ooththides.

Now Stephen, full of faith and of power, wrought great miracles and signs among the people.

9 Wozeetida Ayhudata woossa keeth geeteti xeeygetizasope yida asi gidida Qarenappene Iskkinddriyape; qassekka Kilqqiyappene Issiya awurajjatappe yida asatikka wuri Isxxifanosera marshetida.

Then rose up certain men of the synagogue of the freed-men, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.

10 Gido attin cinccatethan izi hasa7iza hasa7ane izan diza Ayana eqqistanas danda7ibeyteena.

And they could not resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.

11 Hessa gish “Isxxifanosey Musene Xoossu cayishin nu siydos” giza asata guyera gigisida.

Then they suborned men to say, We heard him speak blasphemous things against Moses, and against God.

12 Hessa wode dereza, dere cimmatane woga tammarisizayta denthethidanne Isxxifanose oyththidi dere duullatako shishshida.

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and coming upon him, they seized him together, and dragged him to the sanhedrim;

13 Iza bolla “Hayssi addezi Haysa geesha sooza bollane woga bolla cashsha qaala hasa7a mullekka aggibeyna.

and they set up false witnesses, saying, This man doth not cease speaking blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:

14 Gasooykka haysi addezi Nazirete Yesussay hayssa Xoossa keethth dhayssana gishinnine nu mussepe ekkida woga laammana gi hasa7ishin nu siyidos” gi wordora markkatiza asata shishshi markkasida.

for we have heard him affirm, that Jesus the Nazarean, even he, will destroy this place, and change the accustomed ordinances which Moses delivered to us.

15 Duullata uttida asay wuri Isxxifanose tiishi histti xeellishin iza ayfesoy isttas kittancha ayfeso millati beetides.

And fixing their eyes upon him, all who sat in the sanhedrim, beheld his face as the face of an angel.
