Seven Chosen to Serve
6 Now in these days (A)when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists[a] arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in (B)the daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 (C)Therefore, brothers,[b] pick out from among you seven men (D)of good repute, (E)full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But (F)we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, (G)a man full of faith and (H)of the Holy Spirit, and (I)Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, (J)a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and (K)they prayed and (L)laid their hands on them.
7 And (M)the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests (N)became obedient to (O)the faith.
Stephen Is Seized
8 And Stephen, full of grace and (P)power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But (Q)they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11 Then (R)they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they (S)set up false (T)witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against (U)this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth (V)will destroy this place and will (W)change (X)the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face (Y)was like the face of an angel.

Назначение семи помощников
6 В эти дни, когда число учеников стало расти, грекоязычные евреи начали жаловаться на палестинских. Они говорили, что те пренебрегают их вдовами, когда раздают ежедневную пищу. 2 Тогда двенадцать посланников Масиха созвали всех учеников и сказали:
– Мы не можем, оставив служение словом Аллаха, заняться обслуживанием столов. 3 Поэтому, братья, выберите из вашей среды семь человек с хорошей репутацией, исполненных Духа и мудрости, и мы возложим на них эту обязанность. 4 Сами же мы будем продолжать молиться и нести служение слова.
5 Это предложение всем понравилось, и выбрали Стефана, человека, полного веры и Святого Духа, Филиппа, Прохора, Никанора, Тимона, Пармена и Николая из Антиохии, обращённого из язычников. 6 Их поставили перед посланниками Масиха, и те помолились и возложили на них руки.
7 Слово Аллаха распространялось, и число учеников в Иерусалиме быстро увеличивалось, даже многие священнослужители покорились вере.
Арест Стефана
8 Стефан, человек, полный милости и силы Аллаха, совершал в народе великие чудеса и знамения. 9 Некоторые из членов так называемого Молитвенного дома иудеев-вольноотпущенников (киренцев и александрийцев), а также иудеи из Киликии и провинции Азия, вступили в спор со Стефаном. 10 Но когда Стефан говорил, они ничего не могли противопоставить мудрости, которую Дух дал ему. 11 Тогда они тайно подговорили нескольких людей сказать: «Мы слышали, как Стефан говорил оскорбительные слова против пророка Мусы и Аллаха».
12 Они возбудили народ, старейшин и учителей Таурата; напав на Стефана, они схватили его и привели в Высший Совет. 13 Представили лжесвидетелей, которые сказали:
– Этот человек постоянно говорит против святого храма и против Закона. 14 Мы слышали, как он говорил, что Иса из Назарета разрушит храм[a] и изменит обычаи, которые передал нам Муса.
15 Все сидевшие в Высшем Совете внимательно смотрели на Стефана и видели, что его лицо сияет, как лицо ангела.

A escolha de sete ajudantes
6 Naqueles dias, ao se multiplicar o número dos discípulos, houve queixas daqueles judeus que falavam grego contra os judeus que falavam aramaico, pois as suas viúvas não estavam recebendo a sua parte da distribuição diária. 2 Os doze apóstolos reuniram todo o grupo de discípulos e disseram:
—Não está certo deixarmos de ensinar a mensagem de Deus para fazermos a distribuição diária. 3 Irmãos! Escolham entre vocês sete homens de confiança e que estejam cheios do Espírito e de sabedoria para que nós os encarreguemos deste serviço. 4 Dessa forma poderemos nos dedicar à oração e ao ensino da mensagem de Deus.
5 A sugestão agradou a toda a comunidade e eles escolheram: Estêvão, homem cheio de fé e do Espírito Santo; Filipe[a], Prócoro, Nicanor, Timão, Pármenas e Nicolau, que era de Antioquia e tinha se tornado judeu. 6 Os discípulos apresentaram estes homens aos apóstolos, e estes oraram e impuseram as suas mãos sobre eles. 7 A mensagem do Senhor se espalhava. O número de discípulos em Jerusalém se multiplicava e também um grande número de sacerdotes judeus aceitava a fé.
A prisão de Estêvão
8 Estêvão, um homem muito abençoado por Deus e cheio de poder, fazia grandes maravilhas e sinais entre o povo. 9 Mas alguns dos homens da “Sinagoga dos Homens Livres”[b] (era assim que a chamavam), opuseram-se a ele. Eles eram judeus da região de Cirene, de Alexandria, da Cilícia e da Ásia e começaram a discutir com Estêvão. 10 Esses judeus, porém, não conseguiam refutar o que ele dizia porque o Espírito dava a Estêvão sabedoria para falar. 11 Então eles subornaram algumas pessoas que disseram:
—Nós ouvimos esse homem falar coisas ruins contra Moisés e contra Deus!
12 E dessa forma eles agitaram o povo, os líderes e os professores da lei que o pegaram e o levaram para o Conselho Superior. 13 Eles arranjaram também testemunhas falsas para falar contra Estêvão, e elas diziam:
—Esse homem nunca para de falar contra este lugar santo e contra a lei. 14 Nós o ouvimos dizer que Jesus de Nazaré vai destruir este templo e vai mudar todos os costumes que Moisés nos deu.
15 Todos os que estavam sentados no Conselho Superior olharam bem para Estêvão e viram que o rosto dele parecia o rosto de um anjo.

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.
