Oihana 6
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1I A manawa, i ka wa i mahuahua'i na haumana, ohumu iho la ka poe Helene i ka poe Hebera; no ka mea, ua malama ole ia ko lakou poe wahinekanemake i ka manawalea ana i kela la i keia la.
1In those days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Grecian Jews among them began to grumble against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
2Alaila, hoakoakoa iho la ka umikumamalua i na haumana a pau, i mai la, Aole e pono ia makou, ke waiho wale i ka olelo a ke Akua, a e malama i na papa ai.
2So the Twelve summoned all the disciples and said, “It is unacceptable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.
3No ia mea, e imi oukou, e na hoahanau, i mau kanaka i ehiku iwaena o oukou, a i ike pono ia, a piha hoi i ka Uhane Hemolele, a me ke akamai, a e hoonoho kakou ia lakou maluna o keia oihana.
3Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will appoint this responsibility to them
4A e hooikaika mau makou i ka pule, a me ka hoike olelo.
4and will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
5Ua pono keia olelo imua o na kanaka a pau; a wae mai la lakou ia Setepano, he kanaka piha loa i ka manaoio a me ka Uhane Hemolele, a me Pilipo, a me Perokoro, a me Nikanora, a me Timona, a me Paremena, a me Nikolao ka mea i huli mai no Anetioka.
5This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, as well as Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
6Hoonohoia iho la lakou imua o ka poe lunaolelo; a pule ae la lakou, a kau iho la i na lima maluna o lakou.
6They presented these seven to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
7Hoolahaia ae ka olelo a ke Akua, a mahuahua nui aku la ka poe haumana ma Ierusalema; a he nui no na mea o ka poe kahuna i manaoio.
7So the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem grew rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith.
8A ua piha o Setepano i ka manaoio a me ka mana, hana no ia i na mea mana, a me na mea kupanaha loa, iwaena o na kanaka.
8Now Stephen, who was full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
9Aka, ku mai la kekahi poe no ka halehalawai i kapaia o na Liberetino, a me ko Kurene, a me ko Alekanederia, a me ko Kilikia, a me ko Asia, hoopaapaa mai la lakou ia Setepano.
9But resistance arose from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. They began to argue with Stephen,
10Aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke ku imua o ke akamai a me ke koikoi o kana olelo ana.
10but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.
11Alaila, hoowalewale aku la lakou i mau kanaka, e olelo mai penei, Ua lohe makou ia ia nei e olelo ana i na olelo hoino ia Mose, a me ke Akua.
11Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”
12Hookonokono ae la lakou i na kanaka, a me na lunakahiko, a me ka poe kakauolelo, a lele mai la lakou, a hopu iho la ia ia, a alakai aku la imua o ka ahalunakanawai.
12So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin,
13A hoonoho mai la lakou i mau mea hoike wahahee: i mai la lakou, Aole hooki keia kanaka i ka olelo ana i na olelo hoino i keia wahi hoano, a me ke kanawai:
13where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
14No ka mea, ua lohe no makou ia ia e olelo ana, O Iesu no Nazareta, e hoohiolo no ia i keia wahi, a e hoololi hou no ia i na oihana a Mose i haawi mai ai na kakou.
14For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
15A o ka poe a pau o noho ana ma kahi hookolokolo, haka pono aku la ia ia, a ike iho la i kona maka me he maka anela la.
15All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
