¹Pauro muapositori usingabvi kuvanhu, uye kwete nemunhu, asi unobva kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, naMwari Baba vakamumutsa kuvakafa,

¹Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

²nehama dzose dzineni, kukereke dzeGaratia:

²And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

³Nyasha kwamuri norugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba, naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,

³Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴wakazvipa nekuda kwezvivi zvedu, kuti atisunungure panguva yakaipa yaikozvino, nechido chaMwari naBaba vedu;

⁴Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

⁵kwaari kune kurumbidzwa kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni.

⁵To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁶Ndinoshamisika kuti munokurumidza zvakadai kupandukira uyo wakakudanai munyasha dzaKristu, muchienda kune imwe evhangeri;

⁶I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

⁷isati iri imwe; asi kune vamwe vanokutambudzai vachida kutsaudzira evhangeri yaKristu.

⁷Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

⁸Asi kunyange isu, kana mutumwa unobva kudenga akaparidza imwe evhangeri kwamuri yakasiyana neyatakaparidza kwamuri, ngaave wakapiwa rushambwa.

⁸But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

⁹Sezvatakamboreva, zvino ndinorevazve saizvozvo: Kana umwe akaparidza imwe evhangeri kwamuri yakasiyana naiyo yamakagamuchira, ngaave wakapiwa rushambwa.

⁹As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰Nekuti zvino ndinonyengetedza vanhu here kana Mwari? Kana ndinotsvaka kufadza vanhu here? Nekuti kana ndichiri kufadza vanhu, handifaniri kuva muranda waKristu.

¹⁰For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

¹¹Asi ndinokuzivisai, hama, evhangeri yakaparidzwa neni, kuti haisi yekuita kwevanhu.

¹¹But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

¹²Nekuti neni handina kuigamuchira kumunhu kana kuidzidziswa, asi nekuzarurirwa kwaJesu Kristu.

¹²For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³Nekuti makanzwa zvemufambiro wangu munguva yapfuura pachiJudha, kuti ndaishusha kereke yaMwari kupfuura chipimo sei, nokuiparadza;

¹³For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

¹⁴uye ndakabudirira pachiJudha kupfuura vazhinji vezero rangu parudzi rwangu, ndichinyanya kushingairira tsika dzemadzibaba angu.

¹⁴And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵Asi zvakati zvafadza Mwari, iye wakandisanangura kubva padumbu ramai vangu, akandidana nenyasha dzake.

¹⁵But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

¹⁶kuratidza Mwanakomana wake mandiri, kuti ndimuparidze pakati pevahedheni, pakarepo handina kurangana nenyama neropa;

¹⁶To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

¹⁷uye handina kukwira kuJerusarema kuna avo vakanditangira kuva vaapositori, asi ndakaenda Arabhiya, ndikadzokerazve Dhamasiko.

¹⁷Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

¹⁸Zvino shure kwemakore matatu ndakakwira kuJerusarema kunoona Petro, ndikagara naye mazuva gumi mashanu.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

¹⁹Asi handina kuvona mumwe wavaapositori, kunze kwaJakobho munin'ina waIshe.

¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

²⁰Zvino zvinhu zvandinokunyorerai, tarirai, pamberi paMwari handinyepi.

²⁰Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

²¹Shure kwaizvozvo ndakasvika kumatunhu eSiria neKirikia.

²¹Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

²²Asi ndakanga ndisingazikamwi pachiso nekereke dzeJudhiya dzaiva muna Kristu;

²²And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

²³asi vakange vanzwa chete, kuti waititambudza nguva dzakapfuura, zvino woparidza rutendo rwaaimboparadza,

²³But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

²⁴vakarumbidza Mwari mandiri.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
