1Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻi he tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻae kau ākonga, naʻe tupu ʻi he kau ʻElinisitō ʻae lāunga ki he kau Hepelū, koeʻuhi naʻe taʻetokangaʻi ʻenau kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, ʻi he tufa naʻe fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
1Baadaye, idadi ya wanafunzi ilipokuwa inazidi kuongezeka, kulitokea manung'uniko kati ya wanafunzi waliosema Kigiriki na wale waliosema Kiebrania. Wale waliosema Kigiriki walinung'unika kwamba wajane wao walikuwa wanasahauliwa katika ugawaji wa mahitaji ya kila siku.
2Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he toko hongofulu ma toko ua ke fakataha mai ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai taau ke mau liʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua, kae tokonaki ki he ngaahi keinangaʻanga.
2Kwa hiyo, mitume kumi na wawili waliita jumuiya yote ya wanafunzi, wakasema, “Si vizuri sisi tuache kulihubiri neno la Mungu ili tushughulikie ugawaji wa mahitaji.
3Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, mou fili meiate kimoutolu ʻae kau tangata ongoongoleleiʻia ʻe toko fitu, ʻoku pito ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e poto, ke mau fakanofo ʻakinautolu ki he ngāue ni.
3Hivyo, ndugu zetu, chagueni miongoni mwenu watu saba wenye sifa njema, waliojawa na Roho na wenye hekima; nasi tutawakabidhi jukumu hilo.
4Ka te mau tuku ʻakimautolu maʻuaipē ki he lotu, pea mo e malangaʻaki ʻae folofola.”
4Sisi, lakini, tutashughulika na sala na kazi ya kuhubiri neno la Mungu.”
5¶ Pea naʻe lelei ʻae lea ko ia ki he kakai kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau fili ʻa Setiveni, ko e tangata naʻe pito ʻi he tui mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, mo Filipe, mo Pikolo, mo Nikanoolo, mo Taimoni mo Pamina, mo Nikola ko e ului ki he lotu fakaSiu mei ʻAniteoke:
5Jambo hilo likaipendeza jumuiya yote ya waumini. Wakawachagua Stefano, mtu mwenye imani kubwa na mwenye kujawa na Roho Mtakatifu, Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanora, Timona, Parmena na Nikolao wa Antiokia ambaye hapo awali alikuwa ameongokea dini ya Kiyahudi.
6ʻAia naʻa nau omi ki he ʻao ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo: pea hili ʻenau lotu, naʻe ʻai honau nima kiate kinautolu.
6Wakawaweka mbele ya mitume, nao wakawaombea na kuwawekea mikono.
7Pea naʻe mafola ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua; pea naʻe fakatokolahi ʻaupito ʻae kau ākonga ʻi Selūsalema; pea talangofua ki he tui ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki.
7Neno la Mungu likazidi kuenea na idadi ya waumini huko Yerusalemu ikaongezeka zaidi, na kundi kubwa la makuhani wakaipokea imani.
8Pea kuo pito ʻa Setiveni ʻi he tui mo e mālohi, naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa fakaofo mo e ngaahi mana lahi, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
8Mungu alimjalia Stefano neema tele, akampa nguvu nyingi hata akawa anatenda miujiza na maajabu kati ya watu.
9Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he falelotu, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko e falelotu ʻoe Lipataine, mo e kau Sailine, mo e kau ʻAlekisānitia, mo kinautolu mei Silisia, mo ʻEsia, pea naʻa nau fakakikihi mo Setiveni.
9Lakini watu fulani wakatokea ili wabishane na Stefano. Baadhi ya watu hao walikuwa wa sunagogi moja lililoitwa “Sunagogi la Watu Huru”, nao walitoka Kurene na Aleksandria; wengine walitoka Kilikia na Asia.
10Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tali ʻae poto mo e loto naʻa ne leaʻaki.
10Lakini hawakuweza kumshinda kwa sababu ya hekima yake na kwa sababu ya yule Roho aliyeongoza maneno yake.
11Pea naʻa nau toki fakalotoʻi ʻae kau tangata, ke nau pehē, “Kuo mau fanongo ki heʻene leaʻaki ʻae lea kovi kia Mōsese, pea mo e ʻOtua.”
11Kwa hiyo waliwahonga watu kadhaa waseme: “Tumemsikia Stefano akisema maneno ya kumkashifu Mose na kumkashifu Mungu.”
12Pea naʻa nau ueʻi ʻae kakai, mo e mātuʻa, mo e kau tangata tohi, ke nau feʻohofi ʻo puke ia, ʻo ʻomi ki he kau fakamaau,
12Kwa namna hiyo, waliwachochea watu, wazee na walimu wa Sheria. Basi, wakamjia Stefano, wakamkamata na kumleta mbele ya Baraza kuu.
13Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae kau fakamoʻoni loi, ke nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai tuku ʻe he tangata ni ʻene lea kovi ki he potu māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e fono:
13Walileta Barazani mashahidi wa uongo ambao walisema, “Mtu huyu haachi kamwe kusema maneno ya kupakashifu mahali hapa patakatifu na Sheria ya Mose.
14He kuo mau fanongo ki heʻene pehē, Ko e Sisu ni ʻo Nāsaleti, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae potu ni, pea fakakehe ʻae ngaahi ngāue naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kitautolu.”
14Kwa maana tulikwisha msikia akisema eti huyo Yesu wa Nazareti atapaharibu kabisa mahali hapa na kufutilia mbali desturi zile tulizopokea kutoka kwa Mose.”
15Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he fakamaau, naʻa nau sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia, ʻonau vakai ki hono mata kuo hangē ko e mata ʻo ha ʻāngelo.
15Wote waliokuwa katika kile kikao cha Baraza walimkodolea macho Stefano, wakauona uso wake umekuwa kama wa malaika.
