Ntendo nia itumi 6
1 Itungili mu mahiku aya, matungo i ngele a amanyisigwa nai ikatulaa i kongeeleka, u witushi nua Ayahudi nia ki Yunani ai landilye ku a Ebrania, kunsoko ahimbi ao ai atulaa akiwa mu womolang'yi nua kila luhiku nua ndya.
And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Itumi ikumi na abiili ai aitangile u milundo wihi nua amanyisigwa nu kuligitya, “Shanga iziza kita itu kululeka u lukani nulang'wa Itunda nu kua aiilya mu meza.
Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Ku lulo anyandugu, holang'yi, agoha mupungati, kupuma mukati anyu, antu akende, ni izue u Ng'wau Ng'welu nua upolo, naza kuhumile kuinkiilya u uailya uwu.
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 Nu sese, ku ulongoleka ikali kulompa nu mu uailya nua lukani.
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 Uganuli nuao ukaliloeelya ianza lihi. Iti gwa ikamuholania uStefano, muntu nuizuee uhuiili nu Ng'wau Ng'welu, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, nu Nikolao, muokole kupuma ku Antiokia.
And the saying was liked by all the 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 Ahuiili ai a aletile i antu awa ntongeela a itumi, nai alompile ni panyambele aka aikiilya i mikono ao.
These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
7 Iti gwa, lukani nulang'wa Itunda likenela; ni ngele a amanyisigwa ai ikiile kongeeleka uko ku Yerusalemu; ni ngele nkulu a akuhani aka ukulya u uhuiili.
And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.
8 Nu Stefano, nai wizuee u ukende ni ngulu, ai watulaa ukituma ukuilwa ni ilingasiilyo ikulu mukati ao mu antu.
And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.
9 Kuiti pang'wanso akanyansuka ang'wi ao a antu atyatiili itekeelo ni litangwaa itekeelo nila Mahulu, ni la a Kirene hangi la Aesksnderia, ni ang'wi kupuma ku Kilikia ni Asia. Antu awa ai atulaa akikolenkeelya nu Stefano
Now there arose some of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 Kuiti, shanga ai ahumile ki kilya nu upolo nua Ng'wau Ng'welu naiza uStefano ai watulaa ukutumila mu witambuili.
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.
11 Uugwa ai uapembeseeye ang'wi a antu ku kinkunku kuligitya, “Kigulye uStefano ukuligitya makani a kimeli kung'wa Musa ni kung'wa Itunda.”
Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
12 Ai a asingilye i antu, anyampala, ni amanyi, nu kumuhanga uStefano, akamuamba, nu kumuleta ntongeela i anza,
And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.
13 aka aleta ia kuiili nia uteele, azeligitya, “umuntu uyu shanga ukuleka kitunta i makani ni mabii ku kianza iki ni kelu ni ilagiilyo.
And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.
14 Ku iti kumigulye ukuligitya kina uyu uYesu nua ku Nazareti ukubipya i nkika apa nu kuikaila i ntendo nai kinkiigwe nu Musa.”
For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us.
15 Kila ung'wi nai ukoli mi ananza, akatunja i miho akwe kumugozeela uStefano, ni enso akihenga u usu nuakwe ai watulaa anga usu wang'wa malaika.
And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
