¹Zvino shure kwemakore gumi nemana ndakakwirazve kuJerusarema naBhanabhasi, ndikatorawo Titosi.

¹Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

²Ndakakwira nekuzarurirwa, ndikarondedzera kwavari evhangeri yandinoparidza pakati pevahedheni, asi pachivande kune vakange vachikudzwa, kuti zvimwe neumwe mutowo ndingamhanya kana ndakatomhanyira pasina, kana kuti zvimwe ndatomhanyira pasina.

²And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

³Asi kunyange Titosi waiva neni ari muGiriki, haana kurovererwa kuti adzingiswe;

³But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

⁴uye nekuda kwehama dzenhema, vakange vapinzwa nekunyangira, vakange vapinda chinyararire kuzoshora kusununguka kwedu kwatinako muna Kristu Jesu, kuti vatiise muuranda;

⁴And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

⁵vatisina kupa mukana nekuzviisa pasi kunyange kweawa; kuti chokwadi cheevhangeri chirambe chigere nemwi.

⁵To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

⁶Asi kana vari ivo vairatidza kuva chinhu (hazvinei kwandiri kuti vaiva vakadini; Mwari haagamuchiri chimiro chinoonekwa chemunhu), nekuti kana vari ivo vanokudzwa havana kundiwedzera chinhu;

⁶But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

⁷asi nekusiyana ivo vakati vaona kuti evhangeri yavasakadzingiswa yakakumikidzwa kwandiri, seye vekudzingiswa kuna Petro,

⁷But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

⁸(nekuti iye wakasima nesimba kuna Petro vuapositori hwevakadzingiswa, ndiye wakapa kwandiri vuapositori kuvahedheni);

⁸(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

⁹vakati vaziva nyasha dzakange dzapiwa kwandiri, Jakobho, naKefasi, naJohwani, vanokudzwa kuva mbiru, ruoko rwerudyi rwekudyidzana vakandipa, nekuna Bhanabhasi, kuti isu tiende kuvahedheni, ivo kuna vakadzingiswa;

⁹And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

¹⁰chete kuti tirangarire varombo; chandakashingairirawo kuti ndichiite.

¹⁰Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

¹¹Zvino Kefasi wakati asvika Andiyokiya, ndakamupikisa pachiso, nekuti waifanira kumhurwa.

¹¹But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

¹²Nekuti vasati vasvika vamwe vakange vabva kuna Jakobho, iye waidya nevahedheni; asi vakati vasvika akasuduruka, akazviraura, achitya avo vekudzingiswa.

¹²For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

¹³Nevamwe vaJudha vakanyengera pamwe naye; zvekuti Bhanabhasiwo wakatorwa neunyepedzeri hwavo.

¹³And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

¹⁴Asi ndakati ndichiona kuti havafambi zvakarurama maererano nechokwadi cheevhangeri, ndakati kuna Petro pamberi pevose: Kana iwe uri muJudha, uchirarama nemutowo wevahedheni, uye kwete sezvinoita vaJudha, unoroverera sei vahedheni kuti vararame sevaJudha?

¹⁴But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

¹⁵Isu vaJudha pachisikirwo, uye kwete vatadzi vanobva kuvahedheni,

¹⁵We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

¹⁶tichiziva kuti munhu haanzi wakarurama nemabasa emurairo, asi nerutendo rwaJesu Kristu, kunyange isuwo takatenda kuna Kristu Jesu, kuti tinzi takarurama nerutendo rwaKristu, uye kwete nemabasa emurairo; nekuti nemabasa emurairo hakuna nyama ichanzi yakarurama.

¹⁶Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

¹⁷Asi kana isu, tinotsvaka kunzi takarurama kuna Kristu, isu tomenewo tiwanikwe tiri vatadzi, naizvozvo Kristu wava mushumiri wechivi here? Ngazvisadaro!

¹⁷But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

¹⁸Nekuti kana ndikavakazve zvinhu zvandaputsa, ndinozviita mudariki.

¹⁸For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

¹⁹Nekuti ini kubudikidza nemurairo ndakafa kumurairo, kuti ndirarame kuna Mwari,

¹⁹For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

²⁰Ndakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe naKristu; asi ndinorarama; zvakadaro handisisiri ini, asi Kristu unorarama mandiri; ndiko kurarama kwandinorarama zvino panyama, ndinorarama nerutendo rweMwanakomana waMwari; wakandida akazvipa nekuda kwangu

²⁰I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

²¹Handishaisi nyasha dzaMwari maturo; nekuti kana kunzi wakarurama zvichibva kumurairo, saka Kristu wakafira pasina.

²¹I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
