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.
1Te vaeng tue ah hnukbang rhoek te ping uh tih, amih khuikah nuhmai te vuenhlaem kah bomnah loh a hlavawt hatah Hellenist rhoek loh Hebrew rhoek soah kohuetnah a khueh uh.
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.
2Te dongah caeltueih hlainit rhoek loh a hnukbang rhoek te rhaengpuei la a khue uh tih, “Caboei bulbo ham khaw Pathen kah olka te n'hnoo koinih mamih ham a rhoep koila om pawh.
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.
3Te dongah manuca rhoek, nangmih khuikah mueihla, cueihnah neh aka baetawt tih a oep hlang parih ah tlap uh lamtah a ngoe dongkah ham he amih te hmoel uh sih.
4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
4Tedae kaimih tah thangthuinah neh olthangthen kah bibi te ka khuituk uh eh,” a ti uh.
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.
5Olka tah rhaengpuei loh boeih a yakngaih coeng dongah tangnah neh Mueihla Cim aka baetawt hlang, Stephen, Philip, Prokhoru, Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas neh Antiok kah poehlip Nikolas te a tuek uh.
6These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
6Amih te caeltueih rhoek hmaiah a pai sak uh tih thangthui neh kut a tloeng thil uh.
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.
7Te dongah Pathen kah olka loh rhoeng tih hnukbang rhoek kah a hlangmi tah Jerusalem ah muep ping uh. Hlangping long khaw tangnah dongah khosoih rhoek kah ol bahoeng a ngai uh.
8And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.
8Stephen khaw lungvatnah neh thaomnah a bae dongah pilnam taengah khobae rhambae neh miknoek muep a saii.
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.
9Tedae hoengpoek la a khue Kurena, Alexandria, Kilikia, Asia neh tunim lamkah hlangvang rhoek loh pai uh tih Stephen a oelh uh.
10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.
10Tedae cueihnah neh, mueihla neh a thui te oelh uh thai pawh.
11Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
11Te dongah hlang a caemtuh uh tih, “Moses neh Pathen soah a soehsal ol a thui te ka yaak uh,” a ti uh.
12And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.
12Pilnam neh patong rhoek khaw, cadaek rhoek khaw a huek uh. Ha pai uh vaengah anih te a paco tih khoboei taengla a thak uh.
13And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.
13Te phoeiah laithae laipai te a pai sak uh tih, “Hekah hlang long he pat mueh la hmuen cim neh olkhueng he ol a tha thil.
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.
14Nazareth Jesuh loh he hmuen he a palet vetih Moses loh mamih m'paek khosing te a thovael ni, ' a ti te ka yaak uh,” a ti uh.
15And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
15Khoboei im kah aka ngol rhoek boeih loh Stephen te a hmaitang uh vaengah a maelhmai te puencawn kah maelhmai bangla a hmuh uh.
