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 the disciples being many, the Javnoyee disciples murmured against the Ebroyee because their widows were slighted 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.
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 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.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa yóò dúró ṣinṣin nínú àdúrà gbígbà, àti nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà.”
And we will be constant in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.
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 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 Ẹni tí wọ́n mú dúró níwájú àwọn Aposteli; nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà, wọ́n gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn.
And these they set before the apostles: and while praying they laid upon them the hand.
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 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 Stefanu tí ó kún fún oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti agbára, ó ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu, àti iṣẹ́ àmì ńlá láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
But Estephanos was filled with grace and power, and wrought signs 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,
And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos,
10 ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò sí lè ko ọgbọ́n àti Ẹ̀mí tí ó fi ń sọ̀rọ̀ lójú.
and were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him.
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 sent men and instructed them to say, We have heard him speak words of blasphemy against Musha and against Aloha.
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 sophree, and came and rose upon him, and carried him away and brought him into the midst of the assembly.
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 witnesses of falsehood arose, and said, This man ceases not from speaking words contrary to the law and against this holy place.
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 Jeshu Natsroya shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Musha delivered unto us.
15 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó sì jókòó ni àjọ ìgbìmọ̀ tẹjúmọ́ Stefanu, wọ́n sì rí ojú rẹ̀ dàbí ojú angẹli.
And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel.
