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.
1A hnukbang kaminawk pung o tahang naah, Grik kami lamhmainawk to nithokkruek caaknaek paek ai ah pahnawt o sut pongah, Grik kaminawk mah Hebru kaminawk to laisaep o thuih.
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.
2Kami hatlai hnettonawk mah pop parai hnukbang kaminawk to angmacae khaeah kawk o moe, caaknaek paekhaih tok to sak pongah, Sithaw ih lok to caehtaak han om ai, tiah thuih pae o.
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.
3To pongah, nawkamyanawk, caaknaek paekkung tok to sak hanah, nangcae thungah ahmin khingya koi kaom kami, Kacai Muithla hoi koi kami, panoek thaihaih tawn kami long tarukto qoi oh.
4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
4To tiah ni aicae loe lawkthuihaih hoi tamthanglok taphonghaih tok to a sah o poe thai tih, tiah a naa o.
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.
5To lok mah pop parai kaminawk to palung dipsak: to pongah tanghaih hoi Kacai Muithla hoiah koi Stephen, Philip, Prokorus, Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas hoi Antiok vangpui ih Judah bokhaih hoiah angqoi kami Nikolas cae to a qoih o.
6These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
6Qoih ih kaminawk to patoeh ih kaminawk hma ah hoih o: nihcae mah to kaminawk han lu nuiah bankoenghaih hoiah lawkthuih pae o.
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.
7To tiah Sithaw lok to pung tahang; Jerusalem vangpui ah doeh hnukbang kaminawk pung o parai; pop parai qaimanawk mah doeh tanghaih lok to tahngaih o.
8And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.
8Tanghaih hoi thacakhaih hoiah kakoi Stephen mah, kaminawk salakah paroeai dawnrai hmuen hoi angmathaihnawk to sak.
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.
9To naah Kaloih kaminawk ih Sineko, tiah kawk ih Cyrene kaminawk, Alexandria kaminawk, Cilicia hoi Asia prae ah kaom kaminawk angthawk o moe, Stephen hoi lok angaek o.
10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.
10Toe palunghahaih hoi Muithla hoiah a thuih ih lok to, nihcae mah aek o thai ai.
11Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
11To pongah nihcae mah thoemto kaminawk khaeah, Stephen mah Mosi hoi Sithaw ih ahmin kasae thuih ih lok to ka thaih o, tiah thuih hanah kaminawk to tamquta hoiah zoek o.
12And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.
12Nihcae mah rangpuinawk, kacoehtanawk, ca tarik kaminawk to pacuek o; nihcae loe Stephen khaeah caeh o moe, anih to naeh o, to pacoengah anih to lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah caeh o haih.
13And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.
13Nihcae mah hnukung amsawn to kawk o moe, Hae kami loe hae ih kaciim ahmuen hoi ukhaih daan to kasae thuih:
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.
14hae Nazareth Jesu mah loe hae ahmuen hae phrae ueloe, Mosi mah aicae han paek ih atawk doeh pakhrai tih, tiah hae kami mah thuih ih lok to ka thaih o, tiah a naa o.
15And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
15To naah lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah anghnu kaminawk boih mah anih to mikpakhrip ai ah khet o, to naah anih ih mikhmai to van kami maeto ih mikhmai baktiah a hnuk o.
