Jesu Tondiba Tuona 6

1 Laa dana siiga Jesu ŋɔdikaaba bo pugdi pugdi, k Heleniti jufinba bo fii k yie Ebliba yaaba po, pakuano bo ki laadi mi jiema.

AND in those days the disciples being many, the Javnoyee disciples murmured against the Ebroyee because their widows were slighted in the daily ministration.

2 Jesu tuonsɔnba piiga n bonmilie yeni bo yini bi ŋɔdikaaba ki yedi bi: «laa dagdi ti ŋa u Tienu maama ke ya bɔgdi mi yema.

And the twelve apostles called all the assembly of the disciples and said to them, It is not fit that we should leave the word of Aloha, and serve tables.

3 N naataani lugdi mani i siiga nni niba lele yaaba pia ti kpiagdi ki gɔ gbie yeni mi yanfuonma ke ti ba fidi ki teni ba li tuonli.

Look out therefore, brethren, and choose seven men from you who have testimony concerning them, and are full of the Spirit of the Lord and wisdom, and we will appoint them over this matter.

4 tima wani ti ba guani ki tugni ki ya jaandi yeni u Tienu ñɔmaama.»

And we will be constant in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.

5 Bi laabaalo bo mangi yaaba n bo taani kuli po. Yeni ke b bo lugdi Etieni o ja yua gbi yeni tu dugdi yeni mi yanfuonma, yeni Filipi, Prokori, Nikanɔri, Timɔn, Parmenasi, yeni Nikola yua lebidi bi niba pala Antiosi.

And this saying was pleasing before all the people; and they chose Estephanos, a man who was full of faith and the Spirit of Holiness; and Philipos, and Prokoros, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmena, and Nikolos, a proselyte of Antiokia.

6 Yaaba gaa u tienu ñɔmaama bo kua yeni li niba jesu ŋɔdikaaba kani ke bi jaani ki gɔ maani i nui b po.

And these they set before the apostles: and while praying they laid upon them the hand.

7 Yeni u Tienu maama bo yadi kaan kuli ke bi ŋɔdikaaba bo pugni Jerusalemi diema nni.

And the word of Aloha increased, and the number of the disciples increased in Urishlem greatly: and much people of the Jihudoyee were obedient to the faith.

8 Etieni bo gbie yeni ŋalbaligi yeni u paaciamu ki tiendi mi banciama boncianla ke li pia mi yaalidma bi niba siiga nni.

But Estephanos was filled with grace and power, and wrought signs and miracles among the people.

9 Ama ya niba n bo tie Sinagɔg nni yaaba ke b yi bi Sirenian yeni Alesandrian nba yaaba pia mi yaama yeni Silisi yeni Azi bo fii. Li niba bo pagi yeni Etieni.

And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos,

10 Ama b bo kan fidi ki sedi Etieni nunga nni yua gbie yeni u Tienu paalu ki maadi mi yanfuomaama.

and were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him.

11 Li puoli po ke b wuoni lebidi b niba pala ke bi maadi: «ti gbadi ke Etieni ñani a ñɔbona ki sugi u Tienu yeni Myiisi.

Then they sent men and instructed them to say, We have heard him speak words of blasphemy against Musha and against Aloha.

12 ke suadi b niba, a nikpela yeni a gbandianla ke b cendi Etieni ki cuo o ki gedi yeni o b ceglikaaba kani.

And they stirred up the people and the elders and the sophree, and came and rose upon him, and carried him away and brought him into the midst of the assembly.

13 B bo baa yeniu faagu siedanba ke b maadi: «O ja ne li maadi ki sugdi u kaanŋanmo ne yeni yikodi.

AND witnesses of falsehood arose, and said, This man ceases not from speaking words contrary to the law and against this holy place.

14 Kelima ti gbadi k yedi ke naazareti jesu ba mudi u kaanŋanmo ne k gɔ lebdi balmaama tunda.

For we have heard him say that this Jeshu Natsroya shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Musha delivered unto us.

15 Ke ya niba kuli bo kali i celi tema bo cini a nubina o po i ki la k o nunga tie nani meleki yeni.

And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel.
