Ayyukan Manzanni 6
1 A wadannan kwanaki, yawan almajiran ya ci gaba da ribanbanya, sai Yahudawan da suke zama a kasar Helanawa suka fara gunaguni game da Yahudawan Isra'ila, domin basu damu da gwamrayensu, wajen raba abinci da ake yi kullum.
AND in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Manzannin nan sha biyu suka kira taron almajiran suka ce masu, ''Bai kamata mu bar maganar Allah mu shiga hidimar rabon abinci ba.
Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Don haka ku zabi 'yan'uwa maza daga cikinku, mutane bakwai wadanda a ke ganin su da daraja, cike da Ruhu da kuma hikima, wadanda za mu zaba suyi wannan hidima.
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 Mu kuwa mu ci gaba da da addu'a da kuma hidimar kalmar.''
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 Maganar su kuwa ta farantawa dukan jama'a rai sosai. Sai suka zabi Istifanus, shi kuwa mutum ne cike da bangaskiya kuma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki da Filibus, da Birokoros, da Nikanar, da Timan, da Barminas, da kuma Nikolas, mutmin Antakiya wanda ya yi tuban Yahudanci.
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Masu bin kuwa suka gabatar da wadannan mutanen a gaban manzannin, su kuwa suka yi masu addu'a suka kuma dora hannuwansu a kansu.
Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 Sai maganar Allah ta yawaita; yawan almajiran kuwa ya rubanbanya matuka a Urushalima; firistoci da yawa na Yahudawa suka bada gaskiya.
And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 Sai Istifanus, cike da alheri da iko, ya rika yin ayyukan ban mamaki da alamu a cikin jama'a.
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Amma sai ga wadansu mutane daga wata majami'a da ake kira majami'ar Yantattu, wato su Kuramiyawa da Iskandariyawa, da kuma wasu daga kasar Kilikiya da Asiya. Wadannan mutanen kuwa suna muhawara da Istifanus.
Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 Amma suka kasa yin tsayayya da Istifanus, saboda irin hikima da Ruhun da Istifanus ya ke magana da shi.
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Sai a asirce suka zuga wasu mutane su je su ce, ''Ai munji Istifanus yana maganganun sabo game da Musa da kuma Allah.''
Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12 Sai suka zuga mutanen, har da dattawa da marubuta suka tunkari Istifanus, suka kama shi, suka kawo shi gaban majalisa.
And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13 Suka kawo masu shaidar karya suka ce, ''Wannan mutumin har yanzu bai dena maganganun gaba akan wannan wuri mai tsarki da kuma shari'a ba.
And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 Domin kuwa mun ji shi, yana cewa wannan Yesu Banazarat zai rushe wannan wuri zai kuma canza al'adun da muka gada daga wurin Musa.''
For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15 Dukan wadanda suke zaune a majalisar suka zuba masa ido, sai suka ga fuskarsa kamar ta mala'ika.
And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
