1YA ayo sija na jaane anae lumamegae y disipulo sija, mangogonggong y Helenitas sija contra y Hebreo sija, sa y manbiuda guiya sija, ti manmaatiende gui sinetbeñija cada jaane.

1And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

2Ayonae y dose, jaagang y manadan disipulo guato guiya sija, ya ilegñija: Ti tunas na tapolo y sinangan Yuus, ya tasetbe y lamasa sija.

2Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

3Enaomina mañelo, aligao entre jamyo siete na taotao ni y manmauleg, ni y manbula Espiritu, yan minejnalom, ya tapolo para este na chocho.

3Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

4Lao jita, tasigueja fitme y manmanaetae, yan y sinetbe y sinangan.

4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

5Ya ayo na sinangan, ninafanmagof y manada todo; ya maayeg si Esteban, un taotao na bula jinenggue yan Espiritu Santo, yan si Felipe, yan si Prócoro, yan si Nicanor, yan si Timón, yan si Parmenas, yan si Nicolás proseliton Antioquia.

5And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.

6Ya manmaplanta gui menan y apostoles: ya anae munjayan manmanaetae, japolo y canaeñija gui jiloñija.

6These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.

7Ya y sinangan Yuus lumalamegae; ya y disipulo megae manmaumentaña guiya Jerusalem; ya dangculon manadan mamale locue, manmanosgue ni y jinenggue.

7And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.

8Ya si Esteban, bula y grasia yan ninasifia, jafatinas namanman na milagro yan señat gui entalo y taotao sija.

8And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.

9Lao guaja mangajulo güije gui sinagoga ni y manmafanaan sinagogan Libertinos, yan Sireneo sija, yan Alejandrino sija, yan ayo sija iya Silisia, yan Asia, managuaguat yan si Esteban.

9Now there arose some of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.

10Lao tisiña macontra y tiningo, yan y Espiritu ni y jasangan.

10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.

11Ya manmasusuug y taotao sija na ujaalog: Injingogja güe na jasangan y chinatfino contra si Moises, yan contra si Yuus.

11Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.

12Ya manafangalamten y taotao sija, yan y manamco, yan y escribasija; ya manmato guiya güiya, ya macone güe guato gui sinedrio,

12And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.

13Ya manmamalo testigo na ti magajet, ni ilegñija: Este na taotao ti malago bumasta cumuentos chinatfino contra este y santos na lugat, yan contra y tinago:

13And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.

14Sa injingogja gue ilegña, na este y as Jesus taotao Nasaret uyulang este na lugat, yan utulaeca, y costumbre ni y jaentregajit si Moises.

14For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us.

15Ya todo ayo sija y manmatatachong gui sinedrio, maaatan güe, ya malie y mataña na calang matan angjet.

15And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
