1 Mumazuva iwayo vadzidzi zvavakanga vachiwedzerwa pauwandu, vaJudha vaitaura chiGiriki vaiva pakati pavo vakagununʼuna pamusoro pavaJudha vaitaura chiHebheru nokuti chirikadzi dzavo dzaidarikwa pakugoverwa kwezvokudya zvemisi yose.
Henu katika magono agha, idadi jhe bhanafunzi jhijhogeseka, lalamiko lya bhayahudi bha kiyunani lyajhandili dhidi jha Baebrania kwa ndabha bhajane bha bhene bhajhela bhiyebhelibhwa mu mgao bhwa khila ligono bhwa kyakulya.
2 Saka vane gumi navaviri vakaunganidza vadzidzi vose pamwe chete vakati, “Hazvingavi zvakanaka kwatiri kuti tirege ushumiri hweshoko raMwari kuti tishande pamatafura.
Mitume kumi ni bhabhele bhabhakutili kusanyiku lyoha lya bhanafunzi ni kujobha, “Sahihi lepi kwa tete kulileka lilobhi lya K'yara ni kuhudumila pa meza.
3 Hama, sarudzai varume vanomwe pakati penyu vanozivikanwa kuti vakazadzwa noMweya nouchenjeri. Isu tichaisa basa iri kwavari,
Kwa hiyo ndongo, muchagulayi bhagosi saba, kuhomela miongoni mwa muenga bhanu bhema, bhabhamemili roho ni hekima ambabho twibhwesya kubhakabidhi huduma ejhe.
4 uye ticharamba tiri pakunyengetera napaushumiri hweshoko.”
Ni tete tubeta kujhendelela mu maombi ni mu huduma jha lilobhi.”
5 Shoko iri rakafadza boka rose. Vakasarudza Sitefani, murume akanga azere nokutenda uye noMweya Mutsvene; uyezve Firipi, Pirokorasi, Nikano, Timoni, Pamenasi, naNikorasi aibva kuAndioki, akanga akatendeukira kuchitendero chechiJudha.
Hotuba jha bhene jhabhupendisi mkutano bhuoha. Hivyo bhakan'chagula stefano, munu jha ojhe ni imani ni Roho mtakatifu, ni Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolai, mwongofu kuhoma Antiokia.
6 Vakaisa varume ava kuvapostori, ivo vakavanyengeterera vakaisa maoko pamusoro pavo.
Bhaumini bhabhaletili bhanu abha mbele jha bhamitume, bhabhas'okili ni baadaye bhada bhabhekela mabhoko gha bhene.
7 Saka shoko raMwari rakapararira. Vadzidzi vakawanda kwazvo paJerusarema, uye boka guru ravaprista rakagamuchira kutenda.
Hivyo, lilobhi lya K'yara liaenili ni idadi jhe bhanafunzi, jhajhongesiki, okho Yerusalemu; ni idadi mbaha jha makuhani bhakaitii imani.
8 Zvino Sitefani, murume akanga azere nenyasha dzaMwari nesimba, akaita zvishamiso zvikuru nezviratidzo pakati pavanhu.
Ni Stefano, jhaamemili neema ni nghofu, akifanya maajabu ni ishara mbaha miongoni mwa bhanu.
9 Kusapindirana kwakamuka, kuchibva kunhengo dzeSinagoge reVokusununguka (ndiro raiva zita ravo), vaJudha vokuSairini nevokuArekizandiria pamwe chete namatunhu eKirikia neEzhia. Varume ava vakatanga kukakavadzana naSitefani,
Lakini apu bhajhinuiki baadhi jha bhanu bhafuasi bha sinagogi lya likutibhweghe sinagogi lya mahuru, ni la Bhakerene ni la Bhaeskandaria, ni baadhi kuhoma Kilikia ni Asia. Bhanu abha bha jhele bhihojiana ni Stefano.
10 asi havana kugona kukunda uchenjeri hwake kana Mweya waaitaura nawo.
Lakini bbwabhwesilepi kusindana ni hekima sya Roho ambajho Stefano ajhe itumila mu malongesi.
11 Ipapo vakakurudzira vamwe varume muchivande kuti vati, “Tanzwa Sitefani achitaura mashoko okumhura Mozisi naMwari.”
Kisha bhabhashawishi baadhi jha bhanu kwa siri kujobha, “Tup'eliki Stefano ilongela malobhi gha kufuru dhidi jha Musa ni dhidi jha K'yara.”
12 Nokudaro vakamutsa mwoyo yavanhu navakuru uye navadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vakabata Sitefani vakamuuyisa pamberi peDare Guru.
Bhabhashurutishi bhanu, bhaseya, ni bhaandishi, ni kun'dotela Stefano bhakan'kamula ni kundeta mbele jha baraza.
13 Vakabudisa zvapupu zvenhema, zvikati, “Munhu uyu haamboregi kutaura zvakaipa pamusoro penzvimbo tsvene ino uye napamusoro pomurayiro.
Bhakabhaleta mashahidi bha bhudesi, bhabhajobhili, “Munu ojho ilekalepi kujobha malobhi manofulepi dhidi jha lieneo ele takatifu ni sheria.
14 Nokuti takamunzwa achiti Jesu uyu weNazareta achaparadza nzvimbo ino uye agoshandura tsika dzatakapiwa naMozisi.”
Kwani tup'eliki ijobha kujha ojho Yesu ghwa Nazareth ibeta kupa haribu mahali apa ni kusibadilisya desturi sya tukabisibhu ni Musa.”
15 Vose vakanga vagere muDare Guru vakatarisisa Sitefani vakaona kuti chiso chake chakanga chaita sechiso chomutumwa.
Khila mmonga jha ajhe mu baraza, akajhelekesya mihu gha muene kundanga Stefano, nabhane bhakaubhona uso bhwa muene bhwajhele kama bhwa malaika.
