Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
4A e hooikaika mau makou i ka pule, a me ka hoike olelo.
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,
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.
6whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
6Hoonohoia iho la lakou imua o ka poe lunaolelo; a pule ae la lakou, a kau iho la i na lima maluna o lakou.
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.
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.
8Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
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.
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.
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.
10They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
10Aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke ku imua o ke akamai a me ke koikoi o kana olelo ana.
11Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
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.
12They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
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.
13and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
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:
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.”
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.
15All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
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.
