Acts 6 - Listen Online

¹ NJẸ li ọjọ wọnni, nigbati iye awọn ọmọ-ẹhin npọ̀ si i, ikùn-sinu wà ninu awọn Hellene si awọn Heberu, nitoriti a nṣe igbagbé awọn opó wọn ni ipinfunni ojojumọ́.

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.

² Awọn mejila si pè ọpọlọpọ awọn ọmọ-ẹhin jọ̀ sọdọ, nwọn wipe, Kò yẹ ti awa iba fi ọ̀rọ Ọlọrun silẹ, ki a si mã ṣe iranṣẹ tabili.

² Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

³ Nitorina, ará, ẹ wo ọkunrin meje ninu nyin, olorukọ rere, ẹniti o kún fun Ẹmí Mimọ́ ati fun ọgbọ́n, ẹniti awa iba yàn si iṣẹ yi.

³ Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

⁴ Ṣugbọn awa o duro ṣinṣin ninu adura igbà, ati ninu iṣẹ iranṣẹ ọ̀rọ na.

⁴ But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

⁵ Ọ̀rọ na si tọ́ loju gbogbo ijọ: nwọn si yàn Stefanu, ọkunrin ti o kún fun igbagbọ́ ati fun Ẹmí Mimọ́, ati Filippi ati Prokoru, ati Nikanoru, ati Timoni, ati Parmena, ati Nikola alawọṣe Ju ara Antioku:

⁵ And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

⁶ Ẹniti nwọn mu duro niwaju awọn aposteli: nigbati nwọn si gbadura, nwọn fi ọwọ́ le wọn.

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

⁷ Ọ̀rọ Ọlọrun si gbilẹ; iye awọn ọmọ-ẹhin si pọ̀ si i gidigidi ni Jerusalemu; ọ̀pọ ninu ẹgbẹ awọn alufa si fetisi ti igbagbọ́ na.

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.

⁸ Ati Stefanu, ti o kún fun ore-ọfẹ ati agbara, o ṣe iṣẹ iyanu, ati iṣẹ ami nla lãrin awọn enia.

⁸ And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

⁹ Ṣugbọn awọn kan dide ninu awọn ti sinagogu, ti a npè ni ti awọn Libertine, ati ti ara Kirene, ati ti ara Aleksandria, ati ninu awọn ara Kilikia, ati ti Asia nwọn mba Stefanu jiyàn.

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.

¹⁰ Nwọn kò si le kò ọgbọ́n ati ẹmí ti o fi nsọrọ loju.

¹⁰ And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

¹¹ Nigbana ni nwọn bẹ̀ abẹtẹlẹ awọn ọkunrin, ti nwọn nwipe, Awa gbọ́ ọkunrin yi nsọ ọrọ-odi si Mose ati si Ọlọrun.

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

¹² Nwọn si rú awọn enia soke, ati awọn àgbagba, ati awọn akọwe, nwọn dide si i, nwọn gbá a mu, nwọn mu u wá si ajọ igbimọ.

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,

¹³ Nwọn si mu awọn ẹlẹri eke wá, ti nwọn wipe, ọkunrin yi kò simi lati sọ ọ̀rọ-òdi si ibi mimọ́ yi, ati si ofin:

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

¹⁴ Nitori awa gbọ́ o wipe, Jesu ti Nasareti yi yio fọ́ ibi yi, yio si pa iṣe ti Mose fifun wa dà.

¹⁴ For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.

¹⁵ Ati gbogbo awọn ti o si joko ni ajọ igbimọ tẹjumọ́ ọ, nwọn nwò oju rẹ̀ bi ẹnipe oju angẹli.

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