| [1]And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. |
[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 twelve called the multitude of the disciples, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve 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]Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. |
[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 will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. |
[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 Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: |
[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]Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. |
[6]And these they set before the apostles: and while praying they laid upon them the hand. |
| [7]And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. |
[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 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and 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 certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. |
[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 were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke. |
[10]And were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him. |
| [11]Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against 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 stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, |
[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 set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: |
[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 have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us. |
[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 sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. |
[15]And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel. |
