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.

But in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

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

And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them, and said, It doth not seem to us proper, that we should leave the word of God, and provide for 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, look out among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this business;

4 Nuni gidiko wossanine qaala yooton minnana.

but we will give ourselves closely 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 what was said 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 Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch,

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

whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on 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 greatly enlarged; and a great multitude of the priests were obedient to the faith.

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

And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders 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.

But some of those who belonged to the so-called synagogue of the Freedmen, and of the Cyrenaeans and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen;

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

and they were not able to 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, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and 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 came upon him, and seized him, and brought him to the council,

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

and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against the 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 say, This Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.

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

And all that sat in the council, looking steadily upon him, saw his face like the face of an angel.
