Acts 6
1 Ǹjẹ́ ní ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí, nígbà tí iye àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ń pọ̀ sí i, ìkùnsínú wà ní àárín àwọn Helleni tí ṣe Júù àti àwọn Heberu tí ṣe Júù, nítorí tí a gbàgbé nípa ti àwọn opó wọn nínú ìpín fún ni ojoojúmọ́.
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 Àwọn méjìlá sì pe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn jọ sọ́dọ̀, wọn wí pé, “Kò yẹ kí àwa ó fi ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run sílẹ̀, kí a sì máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ tábìlì.
Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word (logos) of God, and serve tables.
3 Nítorí náà, ará, ẹ wo ọkùnrin méje nínú yín, olórúkọ rere, tí ó kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ àti fún ọgbọ́n, tí àwa lè yàn sí iṣẹ́ yìí.
Wherefore, brethren, look all of you out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit (pneuma) and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa yóò dúró ṣinṣin nínú àdúrà gbígbà, àti nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà.”
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. (logos)
5 Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì tọ́ lójú gbogbo ìjọ; wọ́n sì yan Stefanu, ọkùnrin tí ó kún fún ìgbàgbọ́ àti fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ àti Filipi, àti Prokoru, àti Nikanoru, àti Timoni, àti Parimena, àti Nikolasi aláwọ̀ṣe Júù ará Antioku.
And the saying (logos) pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Ẹni tí wọ́n mú dúró níwájú àwọn Aposteli; nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà, wọ́n gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn.
Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 Ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run sì gbilẹ̀, iye àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn sì pọ̀ sí i gidigidi ni Jerusalẹmu, ọ̀pọ̀ nínú ẹgbẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà sí fetí sí tí ìgbàgbọ́ náà.
And the word (logos) 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 Stefanu tí ó kún fún oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti agbára, ó ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu, àti iṣẹ́ àmì ńlá láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kan dìde nínú àwọn ti ń ṣe ara Sinagọgu, tí a ń pè ní Libataini. Àwọn Júù Kirene àti ti Alekisandiria àti ti Kilikia, àti ti Asia wá, wọ́n ń bá Stefanu jiyàn,
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 ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò sí lè ko ọgbọ́n àti Ẹ̀mí tí ó fi ń sọ̀rọ̀ lójú.
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit (pneuma) by which he spoke.
11 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n fún àwọn ọkùnrin kan ní àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, kí wọn ń wí pé, “Àwa gbọ́ tí Stefanu ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Mose àti sí Ọlọ́run.”
Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words (rhema) against Moses, and against God.
12 Wọ́n sí ru àwọn ènìyàn sókè, àti àwọn alàgbà, àti àwọn olùkọ́ni ní òfin. Wọ́n dìde sí i, wọ́n gbá a mú, wọ́n sì mú un wá sí iwájú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀.
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 Wọ́n sí mú àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí èké wá, tiwọn wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí kò sinmi láti sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí ibi mímọ́ yìí, àti sí òfin.
And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceases not to speak blasphemous words (rhema) against this holy place, and the law:
14 Nítorí àwa gbọ́ o wí pé Jesu ti Nasareti yìí yóò fọ́ ibí yìí, yóò sì yí àṣà ti Mose fi fún wa padà.”
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 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó sì jókòó ni àjọ ìgbìmọ̀ tẹjúmọ́ Stefanu, wọ́n sì rí ojú rẹ̀ dàbí ojú angẹli.
And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
