使徒行传 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
选立执事
6 那时,门徒的人数与日俱增。当中有些讲希腊话的犹太人埋怨讲希伯来话的犹太人,说对方在日常分配食物的事上怠慢了他们的寡妇。 2 于是,十二使徒召集所有的门徒,对他们说:“我们不应该忽略传上帝的道,去管理膳食。 3 弟兄姊妹,请从你们中间选出七位声誉良好、被圣灵充满、有智慧的人来负责膳食, 4 而我们要专心祈祷和传道。”
5 大家一致同意,便选出充满信心、被圣灵充满的司提凡,此外还有腓利、伯罗哥罗、尼迦挪、提门、巴米拿,以及曾信过犹太教、来自安提阿的外族人尼哥拉。 6 大家将这七个人带到使徒面前。使徒把手按在他们身上,为他们祷告。
7 上帝的道兴旺起来,耶路撒冷的门徒大大增多,连许多祭司也皈信了。
司提凡被捕
8 司提凡得到极大的恩典和能力,在百姓中间行了惊人的神迹奇事。 9 但有些来自古利奈、亚历山大、基利迦和亚细亚、属于“自由人[a]会堂”的犹太人联合起来与司提凡辩论。 10 他们无法驳倒司提凡,因为他靠着智慧和圣灵说话。
11 于是,他们暗中唆使一些人诬告司提凡说:“我们听见他说亵渎摩西和上帝的话!” 12 又煽动百姓、长老和律法教师抓住司提凡,把他押到公会。 13 他们还派人作伪证说:“司提凡常常讲侮辱圣地[b]和律法的话。 14 我们听见他说那个拿撒勒人耶稣要毁坏圣殿,还要摒弃摩西传给我们的规矩。” 15 在场的人都盯着司提凡,只见他的容貌好像天使一样。

特別な働きに選ばれた7人の男
6 その間、ますます多くの人々がイエスについていく者となった。しかし、ギリシャ語を話す仲間が、他のユダヤ人の仲間に対して文句を言い始めた。彼らは、仲間の間で毎日配給される食料について、自分たちの未亡人には均等に配られていないと言うのだ。 2 そこで12使徒は全てのグループを集結させた。
使徒たちが彼らに言った。「私たちにとって、人々に食べ物を配給するという責任を負うことで、神のことばを教えるという本来の働きを諦めるのは正しいことではない。 3 そこで、兄弟、姉妹たちよ!みんなの中から尊敬されている7人の男を選んでほしい。彼らは聖霊と知恵にあふれた者でなければならない。そして私たちは彼らにこの役割を任せることにする。 4 そうすることで、私たちは祈りと神のメッセージを伝えることに専念し、全ての時間をそこに費やすことができるからだ」
5 グループ全体がその提案に賛成し、そこで彼らはこれらの7人の男を選んだ。ステパノ(偉大な信仰と聖霊に満ちた男)、ピリポ、プロコロ、ニカノル、テモン、パルメナ、そしてニコラオ(ユダヤ人になったアンテオケ出身の男)。 6 こうして選ばれた彼らを使徒たちの前に立たせ、彼らに手を置いて祈った。
7 神のことばはますます多くの人々に届けられていった。エルサレムの信じる仲間たちのグループは、ますます大きくなった。ユダヤ人の祭司でさえも多くの人が信じて従ったのだ。
ステパノを罰するユダヤ人指導者たち
8 ステパノは大きな祝福を受けた。神は彼に人々の間で特別かつ素晴らしい奇跡を起こす力を与えた。 9 そこにいた数人のユダヤ人は、シナゴグの自由民と呼ばれていたが、そのグループにはクレネの都やエジプトの首都・アレキサンドリヤ、キリキヤ州、アジア州から来たユダヤ人もいた。そして、彼らはステパノと口論をし始めたのだ。 10 しかし、聖霊はステパノに知恵とともに話すことを助けた。彼の言葉はとても説得力があったので、彼らユダヤ人は彼と議論することができなかったのだ。
11 そこで彼らは何人かの男にこう言った。「聞きました?ステパノが言ったことを。モーセと神様を侮辱することを言っていますよ!」 12 このことは人々を、長老を、また掟の学者たちを怒らせた。彼らはものすごく怒ってステパノを確保すると、最高審議会に彼を連行した。
13 彼らはステパノについて嘘の口実を並べるために、数人の男たちを審議会に連れて来た。彼らはこう言った。「この男は、いつも聖なる場所とモーセの掟に反対することを言っています。 14 ナザレ出身のイエスがこの場所を破壊すること。また、モーセが私たちに命じた生き方を変えるべきだと言っているのを聞きました!」 15 審議会にいる者たち全員がステパノをにらみつけた。しかし、ステパノの表情はまるで天使の顔のようだった。
Acts 6
New International Version
The Choosing of the Seven
6 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing,(A) the Hellenistic Jews[a](B) among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows(C) were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.(D) 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples(E) together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God(F) in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters,(G) choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit(H) and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them(I) 4 and will give our attention to prayer(J) and the ministry of the word.”
5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen,(K) a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit;(L) also Philip,(M) Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed(N) and laid their hands on them.(O)
7 So the word of God spread.(P) The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly,(Q) and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
Stephen Seized
8 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs(R) among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene(S) and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia(T) and Asia(U)—who began to argue with Stephen. 10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.(V)
11 Then they secretly(W) persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”(X)
12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin.(Y) 13 They produced false witnesses,(Z) who testified, “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place(AA) and against the law. 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place(AB) and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”(AC)
15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin(AD) looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Acts 6
King James Version
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.
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 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 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
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 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
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 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
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 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
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 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
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 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
