World English Bible
1εν δε ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ πληθυνοντων των μαθητων εγενετο γογγυσμοσ των ελληνιστων προσ τουσ εβραιουσ οτι παρεθεωρουντο εν τη διακονια τη καθημερινη αι χηραι αυτων
1Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
2προσκαλεσαμενοι δε οι δωδεκα το πληθοσ των μαθητων ειπον ουκ αρεστον εστιν ημασ καταλειψαντασ τον λογον του θεου διακονειν τραπεζαισ
2The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
3επισκεψασθε ουν αδελφοι ανδρασ εξ υμων μαρτυρουμενουσ επτα πληρεισ πνευματοσ αγιου και σοφιασ ουσ καταστησωμεν επι τησ χρειασ ταυτησ
3Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4ημεισ δε τη προσευχη και τη διακονια του λογου προσκαρτερησομεν
4But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
5και ηρεσεν ο λογοσ ενωπιον παντοσ του πληθουσ και εξελεξαντο στεφανον ανδρα πληρησ πιστεωσ και πνευματοσ αγιου και φιλιππον και προχορον και νικανορα και τιμωνα και παρμεναν και νικολαον προσηλυτον αντιοχεα
5These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
6ουσ εστησαν ενωπιον των αποστολων και προσευξαμενοι επεθηκαν αυτοισ τασ χειρασ
6whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7και ο λογοσ του θεου ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο ο αριθμοσ των μαθητων εν ιερουσαλημ σφοδρα πολυσ τε οχλοσ των ιερεων υπηκουον τη πιστει
7The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8στεφανοσ δε πληρησ πιστεωσ και δυναμεωσ εποιει τερατα και σημεια μεγαλα εν τω λαω
8Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
9ανεστησαν δε τινεσ των εκ τησ συναγωγησ τησ λεγομενησ λιβερτινων και κυρηναιων και αλεξανδρεων και των απο κιλικιασ και ασιασ συζητουντεσ τω στεφανω
9But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.
10και ουκ ισχυον αντιστηναι τη σοφια και τω πνευματι ω ελαλει
10They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
11τοτε υπεβαλον ανδρασ λεγοντασ οτι ακηκοαμεν αυτου λαλουντοσ ρηματα βλασφημα εισ μωσην και τον θεον
11Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
12συνεκινησαν τε τον λαον και τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ και τουσ γραμματεισ και επισταντεσ συνηρπασαν αυτον και ηγαγον εισ το συνεδριον
12They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
13εστησαν τε μαρτυρασ ψευδεισ λεγοντασ ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ου παυεται ρηματα βλασφημα λαλων κατα του τοπου του αγιου και του νομου
13and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
14ακηκοαμεν γαρ αυτου λεγοντοσ οτι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ ουτοσ καταλυσει τον τοπον τουτον και αλλαξει τα εθη α παρεδωκεν ημιν μωσησ
14For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”
15και ατενισαντεσ εισ αυτον απαντεσ οι καθεζομενοι εν τω συνεδριω ειδον το προσωπον αυτου ωσει προσωπον αγγελου
15All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
