1Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
1 Ca bés yooyu, naka taalibe yi di gën a bare, Yawut yiy làkk gereg tàmbalee ñaxtu ci mbirum Yawut tigi yi, te lii a ko waral: jigéen ñi seen jëkkër dee, te ñu bokk ci ñoom, naraalewuñu leen ca ndimbal, la ñuy séddale bés bu nekk.
2And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables.
2 Noonu fukki ndaw ya ak ñaar woo mbooloom taalibe ya ne leen: «Nu bàyyi kàddug Yàlla, di topptoo mbirum séddale, loolu jekkul ci nun.
3Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
3 Kon nag bokk yi, tànnleen juróom-ñaari nit ci seen biir, ñu am seede su rafet te fees ak Xel mu Sell mi ak sago, nu dénk leen liggéey bii.
4But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
4 Waaye nun dinanu wéy ci ñaan ci Yàlla ak ci yenub xamle kàddu gi.»
5And 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 Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch;
5 Lii ñu wax nag neex na mbooloo mépp. Noonu ñu tànn Ecen, di nit ku fees ak ngëm ak Xel mu Sell mi, boole ci Filib ak Porokor, teg ca Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas ak Nikolas, mi juddoo Ancos te tuub ci yoonu Yawut ya.
6whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.
6 Ñu jébbal leen ndaw ya, ñaanal leen, teg leen loxo.
7And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
7 Noonu kàddug Yàlla di law, ba mbooloom taalibe yi di yokku bu bare ci Yerusalem; te saraxalekat yu bare déggal Yàlla ci topp yoonu ngëm wi.
8And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
8 Naka noona Ecen, mi fees ak yiw ak kàttan, di def ay kéemaan yu mag ak ay firnde ca nit ña.
9But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
9 Waaye ay nit jóg, bokk ci jàngu, bi ñuy wax Jàngub ñi ñu goreel, di ay niti dëkki Siren ak Alegsàndiri, ak it waa diiwaani Silisi ak Asi. Ñuy werante ak Ecen,
10And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.
10 waaye àttanuñu sagoom ak Xel mi muy waxe.
11Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
11 Kon ñu daldi jënd ay nit, ñu ne: «Dégg nanu ko, muy sosal Musaa ak Yàlla.»
12And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,
12 Noonu ñu jógloo nit ñi ak njiit yi ak xutbakat yi, ñu dal ci kawam, jàpp ko, yóbbu ko ca kureelu àttekat ya.
13and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:
13 Te ñu sàkk ay naaféq yuy seede ne: «Kii du bàyyee wax lu juuyoo ak bérab bu sell ba ak yoonu Musaa.
14for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.
14 Ndaxte dégg nanu, muy wax ne, Yeesum Nasaret moomu dina daaneel bérab bii te soppi aada, yi nu Musaa batale woon.»
15And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
15 Bi ñu ko waxee, ña toogoon ñépp ca mbooloo ma xool ko jàkk, gis xar-kanamam, mu mel ni xar-kanamu malaaka.
