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 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,

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.

and 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;

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.

look 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,

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

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

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 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,

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

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

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 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.

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, was doing great wonders and signs among 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.

and 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,

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 with which he was speaking;

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

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

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

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

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

they set up also false witnesses, saying, `This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings 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 saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that Moses delivered to 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.

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