Atos 6
1 Ora naqueles dias, crescendo o número dos discípulos, houve uma murmuração dos gregos contra os hebreus, porque as suas viúvas eram desprezadas no ministério quotidiano.
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 E os doze, convocando a multidão dos discípulos, disseram: Não é razoável que nós deixemos a palavra de Deus e sirvamos às mesas.
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 Escolhei pois, irmãos, dentre vós, sete varões de boa reputação, cheios do Espírito Santo e de sabedoria, aos quais constituamos sobre este importante negócio.
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 Porém nós perseveraremos na oração e no ministério da palavra.
And we will be constant in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.
5 E este parecer contentou a toda a multidão, e elegeram Estevão, homem cheio de fé e do Espírito Santo, e Felipe e Prochoro, e Nicanor, e Timon, e Parmenas e Nicolau, prosélito de Antiochia:
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 E os apresentaram ante os apóstolos, e estes, orando, lhes impuzeram as mãos.
And these they set before the apostles: and while praying they laid upon them the hand.
7 E crescia a palavra de Deus, e em Jerusalém se multiplicava muito o número dos discípulos, e grande multidão dos sacerdotes obedecia à fé.
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 E Estevão, cheio de fé e de poder, fazia prodígios e grandes sinais entre o povo.
But Estephanos was filled with grace and power, and wrought signs and miracles among the people.
9 E levantaram-se alguns que eram da sinagoga chamada dos libertinos, e dos cireneus e dos alexandrinos, e dos que eram da Cilicia e da Asia, e disputavam com Estevão.
And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos,
10 E não podiam resistir à sabedoria, e ao espírito com que falava.
and were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him.
11 Então subornaram uns homens, para que dissessem: Ouvimos-lhe proferir palavras blasfemas contra Moisés e contra Deus.
Then they sent men and instructed them to say, We have heard him speak words of blasphemy against Musha and against Aloha.
12 E excitaram o povo, os anciãos e os escribas; e, arremetendo contra ele, o arrebataram e o levaram ao conselho.
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 E apresentaram falsas testemunhas, que diziam: Este homem não cessa de proferir palavras blasfemas contra este santo lugar e contra a lei:
AND witnesses of falsehood arose, and said, This man ceases not from speaking words contrary to the law and against this holy place.
14 Pois nós lhe ouvimos dizer que esse Jesus Nazareno há de destruir este lugar e mudar os costumes que Moisés nos deu.
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 Então todos os que estavam assentados no conselho, fixando os olhos nele, viram o seu rosto como o rosto de um anjo.
And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel.
