Acts 6

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.

Lè sa a, te vin gen anpil anpil disip. Ladan yo, jwif ki te fèt nan peyi etranje epi ki te pale lang grèk la vin gen kont ak jwif peyi a. Yo t'ap plenyen dèske vèv yo pa t' jwenn anyen nan separe manje yo t'ap fè chak jou a.

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.

Douz apòt yo sanble tout disip yo, yo di: Li pa ta bon pou n' neglije predikasyon pawòl Bondye a pou n' al okipe sèvis manje a.

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.

Se pou sa, frè m' yo, chwazi sèt gason pami nou ki gen bon repitasyon, ki anba pouvwa Sentespri, ki gen kont bon konprann sou yo. N'a ba yo fè sèvis sa a.

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

Konsa nou menm, n'a toujou bay tout tan nou pou lapriyè, ak pou fè moun konnen pawòl Bondye a.

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:

Tout gwoup la te dakò avèk lide sa a. Yo chwazi Etyèn, yon nonm ki te gen anpil konfyans nan Bondye epi ki te anba pouvwa Sentespri, Filip, Pwokò, Nikanò, Timon, Pamenas ak Nikola, yon nonm lavil Antiòch ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo.

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

Yo mennen yo bay apòt yo. Apòt yo lapriyè epi yo mete men sou tèt yo.

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.

Pawòl Bondye a t'ap gaye. Disip yo t'ap vin pi plis toujou nan Jerizalèm. Menm pami prèt yo, te gen anpil ki te asepte kwè pawòl la.

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

Etyèn te yon nonm Bondye te beni anpil, li te gen anpil pouvwa. Li t'ap fè gwo bèl bagay ak mirak nan mitan pèp la.

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.

Se konsa kèk moun leve dèyè li. Pami yo te gen manm sinagòg yo rele sinagòg Ansyen Esklav yo. (Se jwif lavil Sirèn ak lavil Aleksandri ki te ladan l'.) Yo menm ansanm ak lòt jwif ki soti Silisi ak Lazi yo pran diskite ak Etyèn.

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

Men, yo pa t' kapab kenbe tèt avèk li: Etyèn t'ap pale avèk bon konprann Sentespri te ba li.

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

Lè yo wè sa, yo peye kèk moun pou di: Nou tande l' ap pale mal sou Moyiz ak sou Bondye.

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,

Se konsa, yo moute tèt pèp la ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo. Y' al kot Etyèn, yo mete men sou li, yo trennen l' devan Gran Konsèy la.

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

Yo mennen lòt moun tou pou fè manti sou li, yo t'ap di: Nonm sa a pa sispann pale mal sou tanp Bondye a ak sou lalwa Moyiz la.

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

Nou tande l' di konsa: Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, gen pou kraze tanp lan, l'ap chanje tout koutim Moyiz te kite pou nou yo.

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

Tout moun ki te chita nan sal reyinyon Gran Konsèy la te gen je yo fikse sou Etyèn. Yo te wè figi l' te sanble ak figi yon zanj Bondye.
