1Henu katika magono agha, idadi jhe bhanafunzi jhijhogeseka, lalamiko lya bhayahudi bha kiyunani lyajhandili dhidi jha Baebrania kwa ndabha bhajane bha bhene bhajhela bhiyebhelibhwa mu mgao bhwa khila ligono bhwa kyakulya.
2Mitume kumi ni bhabhele bhabhakutili kusanyiku lyoha lya bhanafunzi ni kujobha, “Sahihi lepi kwa tete kulileka lilobhi lya K'yara ni kuhudumila pa meza.
3Kwa hiyo ndongo, muchagulayi bhagosi saba, kuhomela miongoni mwa muenga bhanu bhema, bhabhamemili roho ni hekima ambabho twibhwesya kubhakabidhi huduma ejhe.
4Ni tete tubeta kujhendelela mu maombi ni mu huduma jha lilobhi.”
5Hotuba jha bhene jhabhupendisi mkutano bhuoha. Hivyo bhakan'chagula stefano, munu jha ojhe ni imani ni Roho mtakatifu, ni Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolai, mwongofu kuhoma Antiokia.
6Bhaumini bhabhaletili bhanu abha mbele jha bhamitume, bhabhas'okili ni baadaye bhada bhabhekela mabhoko gha bhene.
7Hivyo, lilobhi lya K'yara liaenili ni idadi jhe bhanafunzi, jhajhongesiki, okho Yerusalemu; ni idadi mbaha jha makuhani bhakaitii imani.
8Ni Stefano, jhaamemili neema ni nghofu, akifanya maajabu ni ishara mbaha miongoni mwa bhanu.
9Lakini apu bhajhinuiki baadhi jha bhanu bhafuasi bha sinagogi lya likutibhweghe sinagogi lya mahuru, ni la Bhakerene ni la Bhaeskandaria, ni baadhi kuhoma Kilikia ni Asia. Bhanu abha bha jhele bhihojiana ni Stefano.
10Lakini bbwabhwesilepi kusindana ni hekima sya Roho ambajho Stefano ajhe itumila mu malongesi.
11Kisha bhabhashawishi baadhi jha bhanu kwa siri kujobha, “Tup'eliki Stefano ilongela malobhi gha kufuru dhidi jha Musa ni dhidi jha K'yara.”
12Bhabhashurutishi bhanu, bhaseya, ni bhaandishi, ni kun'dotela Stefano bhakan'kamula ni kundeta mbele jha baraza.
13Bhakabhaleta mashahidi bha bhudesi, bhabhajobhili, “Munu ojho ilekalepi kujobha malobhi manofulepi dhidi jha lieneo ele takatifu ni sheria.
14Kwani tup'eliki ijobha kujha ojho Yesu ghwa Nazareth ibeta kupa haribu mahali apa ni kusibadilisya desturi sya tukabisibhu ni Musa.”
15Khila mmonga jha ajhe mu baraza, akajhelekesya mihu gha muene kundanga Stefano, nabhane bhakaubhona uso bhwa muene bhwajhele kama bhwa malaika.
