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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
3Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will appoint this responsibility to them
4Tedae kaimih tah thangthuinah neh olthangthen kah bibi te ka khuituk uh eh,” a ti uh.
4and will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
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.
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.
6Amih te caeltueih rhoek hmaiah a pai sak uh tih thangthui neh kut a tloeng thil uh.
6They presented these seven to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
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.
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.
8Stephen khaw lungvatnah neh thaomnah a bae dongah pilnam taengah khobae rhambae neh miknoek muep a saii.
8Now Stephen, who was full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
9Tedae hoengpoek la a khue Kurena, Alexandria, Kilikia, Asia neh tunim lamkah hlangvang rhoek loh pai uh tih Stephen a oelh uh.
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,
10Tedae cueihnah neh, mueihla neh a thui te oelh uh thai pawh.
10but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.
11Te dongah hlang a caemtuh uh tih, “Moses neh Pathen soah a soehsal ol a thui te ka yaak uh,” a ti uh.
11Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”
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.
12So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin,
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.
13where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
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.
14For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
15Khoboei im kah aka ngol rhoek boeih loh Stephen te a hmaitang uh vaengah a maelhmai te puencawn kah maelhmai bangla a hmuh uh.
15All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
