Latin text Lapidabant Stephanum invocantem et dicentem: “Domine Jesu Christe, accipe spiritum meum et ne statuas illis hoc peccatum.” Et cum hoc dixisset, obdormivit in Domino.

English translation As they were stoning Stephen, he prayed: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit, and do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he slept in the Lord.
