¹Kahaa-haea kawoo-woria' -mi tauna to mpotuku' Yesus. Lomo' -lomo' -na, topetuku' Yesus paka' to Yahudi. Aga to hantongo' -ra mobasa Yunani, pai' to hantongo' wo'o mobasa Yahudi moto-ra. Nto'u toe, ngkunuti-ramo topetuku' Yesus to mobasa Yunani, mpongkunutii doo-ra to mobasa Yahudi, ra'uli': "Tobine-kai to balu, uma raratai bagia to rabagi butu eo-na hi to mpe'ahii'."

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.

²Toe pai' suro Pue' Yesus to hampulu' rodua mpokio' hawe'ea topetuku' Yesus bona morumpu, pai' ra'uli' -raka: "Uma-hawo lompe' ane kai' mpo'urusi pompobagi koni', apa' uma mpai' hono' loga-kai mpokeni Lolita Alata'ala.

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.

³Jadi' ompi' -ompi', agina tapelihi ngkai laintongo' -ta tau pitu to lompe' po'ingku-ra, to nakuasai Inoha' Tomoroli' pai' to monoto nono-ra, bona hira' -mi to kiwai' bago mpo'urusi kara-kara pongkoni' toe.

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.

⁴Apa' pobago-kai kai' to poko-na mpu'u, mosampaya pai' mpokeni Lolita Alata'ala."

⁴But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.

⁵Lolita suro toera rapo'io' -mi omea. Toe pai' mpopelihi-ramo Stefanus, to mepangala' mpu'u hi Pue' Yesus pai' to nakuasai Inoha' Tomoroli'. Rapelihi wo'o: Filipus, Prokhorus, Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas pai' Nikolaus to Antiokhia. Nikolaus toei, bela-i to Yahudi, aga mesua' -imi hi agama Yahudi.

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;

⁶To pitu toera rakeni hilou hi suro Pue' Yesus, pai' suro toera mpojama woo' -ra pai' mosampaya merapi' bona Pue' mpogane' -ra.

⁶whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.

⁷Jadi', ngkai toe-mi pai' kawoo-woria' tauna to mpo'epe Lolita Alata'ala. Pai' katedoo-donihia-mi kawori' topetuku' Yesus hi Yerusalem. Imam-imam moto wo'o, wori' -ramo to mepangala' pai' mengkoru hi Pue' Yesus.

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.

⁸Ane Stefanus, Alata'ala mpogane' mpu'u-i, nawai' -i kuasa mpobabehi wori' tanda mekoncehi to mpopohiloi kabaraka' -na Alata'ala hi ntodea.

⁸And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.

⁹Aga ria wo'o-ra to mposapuaka. Tomesapuaka toera, anggota tomi posampayaa to rahanga' Tomi Libertini (batua-na: tomi tauna to rabahaka ngkai karapobatuaa-ra). Anggota tomi posampayaa toe, to Yahudi to ngkai ngata Kirene pai' Aleksandria. Hira' toe hante to Yahudi ngkai tana' Kilikia pai' Asia mpomehono' -ki Stefanus.

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.

¹⁰Aga uma-ra hompe mpotompoi' lolita Stefanus, apa' Inoha' Pue' Ala mpowai' -i kanotoa nono mololita.

¹⁰And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.

¹¹Toe pai' ba hangkuja dua tauna rawai' doi, bona hira' mpobabehi lolita boa' mpobalihi Stefanus, ra'uli': "Ki'epe-i-kaina mporuge' Atura Musa pai' mpokedi' Alata'ala!"

¹¹Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.

¹²Ngkai ree, mpo'ukei' -ra ntodea hante pangkeni to Yahudi pai' guru agama, bona moroe-ra hi Stefanus. Kahilou-rami mpohoko' -i pai' rakeni hi topohura agama.

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,

¹³Karata-ra hi ree, rapope'onga wo'o-ramo-rawo to tungkai' mosabi' boa'. Ra'uli' sabi' boa' toera: "Tau tohe'ii ntora mporuge' Tomi Alata'ala pai' mporuge' Atura Musa!

¹³and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:

¹⁴Ki'epe-i mololita mpo'uli': Yesus to Nazaret toe mpogero mpai' Tomi Alata'ala pai' mpobalii' hawe'ea ada to tapososora ngkai nabi Musa."

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.

¹⁵Mpo'epe toe, hawe'ea topohura mponaa Stefanus. Rahilo-rawo, lio-na hewa lio mala'eka.

¹⁵And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
