1 W aagaas waxaa dhacay, intii xertu badnaysay, in Yuhuuddii Gariigta ahayd ay ka gunuunaceen Cibraaniyadii, maxaa yeelay, carmalladoodii laga dhintay wixii maalin walba la siin jiray looguma hagarbixin.

¶ And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, that their widows were neglected in the daily ministry.

2 M arkaasaa laba-iyo-tobankii, intay isugu yeedheen kuwa badan oo xerta ka mid ahaa, waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ma wanaagsana inaannu ereyga Ilaah iska dayno oo aannu miisas ka adeegno.

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

3 H addaba, walaalayaalow, waxaad dhexdiinna ka xushaan toddoba nin oo sharaf leh, oo ay ka buuxaan Ruuxa iyo xigmaddu, oo aynu u dooranno shuqulkan.

therefore, brethren, seek out among you seven men of whom you bear witness, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

4 A nnaguse waxaannu ku sii adkaysan doonnaa tukasho iyo shuqulka ereyga.

And we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.

5 H adalkiina waa ka wada farxiyey dadkii badnaa oo dhan; oo waxay doorteen Istefanos oo ahaa nin ay ka buuxaan rumaysad iyo Ruuxa Quduuska ahu, iyo Filibos, iyo Barokhoros, iyo Nikanoor, iyo Timoon, iyo Barmenaas, iyo Nikolas kii reer Antiyokh oo diinta soo galay.

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:

6 K uwaasay rasuulladii hor keeneen; oo markay tukadeen dabadeed, ayay gacmahoodii saareen.

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

7 M arkaasaa ereygii Ilaah faafay, tiradii xertiina Yeruusaalem aad ugu badatay, oo tiro badan oo wadaaddo ahina iimaankay yeeleen. Ashtakadii Lagu Ashtakeeyey Istefanos

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly, and also a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

8 M arkaasaa Istefanos oo ay nimco iyo xoog ka buuxaan ayaa dadka dhexdiisa ku sameeyey yaabab iyo calaamooyin waaweyn.

¶ And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles in the people.

9 L aakiin waxaa kacay oo Istefanos la murmay kuwii sunagogga la odhan jiray sunagogga Libertiinta, iyo kan reer Kuranaya, iyo reer Iskanderiya, iyo kuwa Kilikiya iyo Aasiya.

Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians and Alexandrians and of those of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

10 I yaguna waa is-hor taagi kari waayeen xigmaddii iyo Ruuxii uu ku hadlay.

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

11 M arkaasay niman laaluusheen, oo nimankii baa waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu maqalnay isagoo Muuse iyo Ilaahba caayaya.

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

12 M arkaasay kiciyeen dadkii iyo waayeelladii iyo culimmadii, oo intay isagii ku soo kediyeen oo qabteen, ayay shirkii geeyeen.

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 M arkaasay waxay soo taageen markhaatiyaal been ah oo leh, Ninkanu iskama daayo inuu meeshan quduuska ah iyo sharciga erayo xunxun ka sheego,

and set up false witnesses, who said, This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law,

14 w aayo, waxaannu maqalnay isagoo leh, Ciisahan reer Naasared meeshan buu dumin doonaa, wuxuuna beddeli doonaa caadooyinkii Muuse inooga tegey.

for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered us.

15 O o kuwii shirka wada fadhiyey oo dhan, iyagoo aad u fiirinaya, waxay arkeen wejigiisii oo ah sidii weji malaa'igeed oo kale.

Then all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as the face of an angel.
