Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
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.
1YA ayo sija na jaane anae lumamegae y disipulo sija, mangogonggong y Helenitas sija contra y Hebreo sija, sa y manbiuda guiya sija, ti manmaatiende gui sinetbeñija cada jaane.
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.
2Ayonae y dose, jaagang y manadan disipulo guato guiya sija, ya ilegñija: Ti tunas na tapolo y sinangan Yuus, ya tasetbe y lamasa sija.
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.
3Enaomina mañelo, aligao entre jamyo siete na taotao ni y manmauleg, ni y manbula Espiritu, yan minejnalom, ya tapolo para este na chocho.
4But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
4Lao jita, tasigueja fitme y manmanaetae, yan y sinetbe y sinangan.
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,
5Ya ayo na sinangan, ninafanmagof y manada todo; ya maayeg si Esteban, un taotao na bula jinenggue yan Espiritu Santo, yan si Felipe, yan si Prócoro, yan si Nicanor, yan si Timón, yan si Parmenas, yan si Nicolás proseliton Antioquia.
6whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
6Ya manmaplanta gui menan y apostoles: ya anae munjayan manmanaetae, japolo y canaeñija gui jiloñija.
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.
7Ya y sinangan Yuus lumalamegae; ya y disipulo megae manmaumentaña guiya Jerusalem; ya dangculon manadan mamale locue, manmanosgue ni y jinenggue.
8Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
8Ya si Esteban, bula y grasia yan ninasifia, jafatinas namanman na milagro yan señat gui entalo y taotao sija.
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.
9Lao guaja mangajulo güije gui sinagoga ni y manmafanaan sinagogan Libertinos, yan Sireneo sija, yan Alejandrino sija, yan ayo sija iya Silisia, yan Asia, managuaguat yan si Esteban.
10They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
10Lao tisiña macontra y tiningo, yan y Espiritu ni y jasangan.
11Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
11Ya manmasusuug y taotao sija na ujaalog: Injingogja güe na jasangan y chinatfino contra si Moises, yan contra si Yuus.
12They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
12Ya manafangalamten y taotao sija, yan y manamco, yan y escribasija; ya manmato guiya güiya, ya macone güe guato gui sinedrio,
13and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
13Ya manmamalo testigo na ti magajet, ni ilegñija: Este na taotao ti malago bumasta cumuentos chinatfino contra este y santos na lugat, yan contra y tinago:
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.”
14Sa injingogja gue ilegña, na este y as Jesus taotao Nasaret uyulang este na lugat, yan utulaeca, y costumbre ni y jaentregajit si Moises.
15All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
15Ya todo ayo sija y manmatatachong gui sinedrio, maaatan güe, ya malie y mataña na calang matan angjet.
