| [1]And in those dayes, when the number of ye disciples grewe, there arose a grudge among the Grekes agaynst ye Hebrues, because their wydowes were despysed in the dayly ministerie |
[1]AND in those days the disciples being many, the Javnoyee disciples murmured against the Ebroyee because their widows were slighted in the daily ministration. |
| [2]Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayde: It is not good that we shoulde leaue the worde of God, and serue tables |
[2]And the twelve apostles called all the assembly of the disciples and said to them, It is not fit that we should leave the word of Aloha, and serve tables. |
| [3]Wherfore brethren, loke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, & full of the holy ghost, and wysedome, to who we may commit this busynesse |
[3]Look out therefore, brethren, and choose seven men from you who have testimony concerning them, and are full of the Spirit of the Lord and wisdom, and we will appoint them over this matter. |
| [4]But we wyll geue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministerie of the worde |
[4]And we will be constant in prayer, and in the ministration of the word. |
| [5]And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Steuen, a man full of fayth, and of the holy ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, & Timon, and Permenas, and Nicolas a conuert of Antioche |
[5]And this saying was pleasing before all the people; and they chose Estephanos, a man who was full of faith and the Spirit of Holiness; and Philipos, and Prokoros, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmena, and Nikolos, a proselyte of Antiokia. |
| [6]These they set before the apostles: and whe they had prayed, they layde their handes on them |
[6]And these they set before the apostles: and while praying they laid upon them the hand. |
| [7]And the worde of God encreased, & the number of ye disciples multiplied in Hierusalem greatly, and a great companie of the priestes were obedient to ye fayth |
[7]And the word of Aloha increased, and the number of the disciples increased in Urishlem greatly: and much people of the Jihudoyee were obedient to the faith. |
| [8]And Steuen full of fayth & power, dyd great wonders & miracles among the people |
[8]But Estephanos was filled with grace and power, and wrought signs and miracles among the people. |
| [9]Then there arose certaine of the synagogue, which is called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of Cilicia, & of Asia, disputyng with Steuen |
[9]And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos, |
| [10]And they coulde not resiste the wisedome and the spirite by the whiche he spake |
[10]And were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him. |
| [11]Then they priuilie prepared men, whiche sayde, we haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes agaynst Moyses, and agaynst God |
[11]Then they sent men and instructed them to say, We have heard him speak words of blasphemy against Musha and against Aloha. |
| [12]And they moued the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came vppon hym, and caught him, and brought him to the counsell |
[12]And they stirred up the people and the elders and the sophree, and came and rose upon him, and carried him away and brought him into the midst of the assembly. |
| [13]And brought foorth false witnesses, which sayde: This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes agaynste this holy place and the lawe |
[13]AND witnesses of falsehood arose, and said, This man ceases not from speaking words contrary to the law and against this holy place. |
| [14]For we hearde hym say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shal destroy this place, & shall chaunge the ordinaunces which Moyses gaue vs |
[14]For we have heard him say that this Jeshu Natsroya shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Musha delivered unto us. |
| [15]And all that sate in the counsell, loking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had ben the face of an angell |
[15]And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel. |
