Baadaye, idadi ya wanafunzi ilipokuwa inazidi kuongezeka, kulitokea manung'uniko kati ya wanafunzi waliosema Kigiriki na wale waliosema Kiebrania. Wale waliosema Kigiriki walinung'unika kwamba wajane wao walikuwa wanasahauliwa katika ugawaji wa mahitaji ya kila siku.
2 Hage'za 12fu'a aposol naga'mo'za ana mika amage'ma nentaza disaipol kevu zamasmizage'za emeritru hazage'za anage hu'naze. Ne'zama fakohu zankuke nehuta Anumzamofo nanekema osanunana knarera osugahie.
Kwa hiyo, mitume kumi na wawili waliita jumuiya yote ya wanafunzi, wakasema, “Si vizuri sisi tuache kulihubiri neno la Mungu ili tushughulikie ugawaji wa mahitaji.
3 E'ina hu'negu tafuhete, tamagra amu'no tamifinti keso'e hutma 7ni'a vahe'ma zamu'zmamo knare'ma hu'nesnia vahe'ma, Avamu'ene knare antahi'zamo'ma avitenesia vahe zamazeri otinke'za, esageta tagra ama erizana refako huta zamazampi antesune.
Hivyo, ndugu zetu, chagueni miongoni mwenu watu saba wenye sifa njema, waliojawa na Roho na wenye hekima; nasi tutawakabidhi jukumu hilo.
4 Hu'neanagi tagratia nunamu hu'zante'ene, Anumzamofo naneke'a huama huta veamofona zamasmita maka knafina vugahune.
Sisi, lakini, tutashughulika na sala na kazi ya kuhubiri neno la Mungu.”
5 Ana mika vahe kevumokizmia zamesige'za, ana hugahune nehu'za, ana 7ni'a vahe huhampri'naze, mago ne'ma hampona amentintine ne' Ruotge Avamu'mo agu'afima avite'nea nera Stiveni huhampriza Filipinki Prokulusinki Nikenorinki Taimoninki Pamenasima, mago Antioku ne' Nikolasi'a megi'a nagapinti ne'mo agu'a akrehe huno Jiu monopi amentinti nehia ne' huhampri'za zamaretru hu'naze.
Jambo hilo likaipendeza jumuiya yote ya waumini. Wakawachagua Stefano, mtu mwenye imani kubwa na mwenye kujawa na Roho Mtakatifu, Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanora, Timona, Parmena na Nikolao wa Antiokia ambaye hapo awali alikuwa ameongokea dini ya Kiyahudi.
6 Ana hute'za ana vene'ne zaga zamare'za aposol nagate vazage'za zamaza ante'za, nunamu huzmante'naze.
Wakawaweka mbele ya mitume, nao wakawaombea na kuwawekea mikono.
7 Hagi Anumzamofo kemo'a mago'ane ra huno nevigeno, amagenentaza disaipol naga'mo'za Jerusalemi kumapina rama'a efore nehageno, ra'ma'a Jiu pristi vahe'mo'za zamentinti hu'za ke amage'anteme vu'naze.
Neno la Mungu likazidi kuenea na idadi ya waumini huko Yerusalemu ikaongezeka zaidi, na kundi kubwa la makuhani wakaipokea imani.
8 Ana higeno, Stivenina Anumzamofo asunkuzamo'ene hihamumo'a avite'negeno, tusi'a kaguva zane, avame'zanena vahe'mokizmi amunompina erifore hu'ne.
Mungu alimjalia Stefano neema tele, akampa nguvu nyingi hata akawa anatenda miujiza na maajabu kati ya watu.
9 Hianagi mago'a vene'ne zaga, Hibru osi mono nona (Sinagog Freman) vahe zamazeri atre monore nehazafinti Sairini kumate'ene, Aleksandria kumate'ene, mago'a Silisiane, Esia rankuma'mo kegava hu'nefinti (provins) vahe'mo'za oti'za Stivenina keha rente'naze.
Lakini watu fulani wakatokea ili wabishane na Stefano. Baadhi ya watu hao walikuwa wa sunagogi moja lililoitwa “Sunagogi la Watu Huru”, nao walitoka Kurene na Aleksandria; wengine walitoka Kilikia na Asia.
10 Hianagi Stiveni'ma knare Avamu'mo'ma azama huno knare antahi'zana amigeno kema hiazamofona, zamagra magore hu'za kea osu'naze.
Lakini hawakuweza kumshinda kwa sababu ya hekima yake na kwa sababu ya yule Roho aliyeongoza maneno yake.
11 Anante zamagra oku'a mago'a vahera anage hiho hu'za zamasmi'naze. Tagra nentahunkeno Mosesene, Anumzamofonena zanazeri havizahu kea hu'ne hutma hiho hu'naze.
Kwa hiyo waliwahonga watu kadhaa waseme: “Tumemsikia Stefano akisema maneno ya kumkashifu Mose na kumkashifu Mungu.”
12 Ana kema hazazamo vahera zamarimpa zamazeri otige'za, ranra vahe'mo'zane kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'zanena oti'za Stivenina eme avazu hu'za kanisol (Senhitren) vahe zamure vu'naze.
Kwa namna hiyo, waliwachochea watu, wazee na walimu wa Sheria. Basi, wakamjia Stefano, wakamkamata na kumleta mbele ya Baraza kuu.
13 Zamagra pusante havigema hunte vahe zamaretageno, ana vahe'mo'za hu'za, Ama ne'mo'a, ontagneno Mosese kasegegu'ene, ra mono nonku enena huhaviza hunte'ne hu'za hu'naze.
Walileta Barazani mashahidi wa uongo ambao walisema, “Mtu huyu haachi kamwe kusema maneno ya kupakashifu mahali hapa patakatifu na Sheria ya Mose.
14 Na'ankure tagra nentahunkeno ama nemo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Nazareti Jisasi'a eri haviza ruotge mono nona nehuno, Mosesi'ma tami'nea avu'ava'zana, eri atreno kahefa avu'ava eri fore hunaku nehie.
Kwa maana tulikwisha msikia akisema eti huyo Yesu wa Nazareti atapaharibu kabisa mahali hapa na kufutilia mbali desturi zile tulizopokea kutoka kwa Mose.”
15 Anankema huntaza fakohu'za kenaku nehu'za ana mika kva vahe'mo'za avugosafima kazana, avugosamo'a ankero vahe'mofo avugosamo masa hiaza hige'za ke'naze.
Wote waliokuwa katika kile kikao cha Baraza walimkodolea macho Stefano, wakauona uso wake umekuwa kama wa malaika.
