¹Ai antunchi le slugi mai butionas, le Zhiduvuria kai denas duma grekchisko vachinas pe pal Zhiduvuria kodole themeske, ke lenge zhuvlia kai sas phivlia chidenas le so trobulas le swako dies.

¹And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily ministration,

²Le desh u dui disipluria chide andek than sa le kolavre slugen ai phende lenge, nai mishto te terduas te mothas po Del ai te la sama katar o xabe.

²and the twelve, having called near the multitude of the disciples, said, `It is not pleasing that we, having left the word of God, do minister at tables;

³Anda kodia murhe phral, alon mashkar tumende efta mursh, kai zhal pa lende shukar xiro, ai kai si pherdo Swunto Duxo ande lende, ai gojaver, ai dasa lende kadia buchi.

³look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity,

⁴Ai ame rodasa te das mai but vriama ka rhugimos, ai kai vorba le Devleski.

⁴and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.`

⁵So phende pa kodola bucha sa o narodo drago sas lenge; ai thode iekes kai busholas Stephen, kodo manush sas pherdo pachamos ai O Swunto Duxo, ai vi o Philip, ai Prochorus, ai Nicanor, ai Timon, ai Parmenas, ai Nicolas, iek manush andai Antioch kai mai anglal wo pachalaspe sar le Zhiduvuria.

⁵And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,

⁶Andine le kal slugi kai kana rhugisaile thode le vas pe lende.

⁶whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them [their] hands.

⁷E Vorba le Devleski zhalas mai dur ai mai dur, ai le slugi mai butionas but anda Jerusalem; ai but andal rasha vi won, dine pe le Devleske.

⁷And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.

⁸O Stephen, kai sas pherdo lashimos ai pherdo putiera, kerelas bari bucha andel Devlesko anav, ai bare mirakluria mashkar o narodo.

⁸And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,

⁹Uni manush nas dakordo le Stephenosa, won sas andai synagogue, won bushonas Libertianes ai Cyrenians, ai Alexandrians, le Zhiduvonsa andai Cilicia ai andai Asia.

⁹and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen,

¹⁰Numa nashtinas te inkeren pala leski goji ai pala Swunto Duxo kai delas duma pa lesko mui.

¹⁰and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking;

¹¹Antunchi pochinde avre manushenge, te mothon, "Ashundiam leste ke delas duma ai marelas mui katar o Moses, ai katar O Del."

¹¹then they suborned men, saying — `We have heard him speaking evil sayings in regard to Moses and God.`

¹²Xoliarde o narodos, ai le mai phure, ai kodola kai ramonas o zakono, ai porme pashile pashai Stephen, ai line les, ai angerde les kal mai bare.

¹²They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come upon [him], they caught him, and brought [him] to the sanhedrim;

¹³Ai andine manushen kai xoxavenas ai thonas dosh pe leste intaino, won mothonas, "Kado manush marel mui katar amari Swunto tampla, ai katar o zakono le Mosesosko;

¹³they set up also false witnesses, saying, `This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the law,

¹⁴Ke ame ashundiam leste, kai phendia ke O Jesus kai sas andai Nazareth peravela kadia tampla, ai parhuvel o zakono kai dia ame o Moses."

¹⁴for we have heard him saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that Moses delivered to us;`

¹⁵Sa le manush kai sas kotse ande kodo than, dikhenas po Stephen, ai dikhle ke lesko mui sas sar ieke angelosko.

¹⁵and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
