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

¹Paul, an apostle — not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead —

²nehama dzose dzineni, kukereke dzeGaratia:

²and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

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

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

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

⁴who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

⁵kwaari kune kurumbidzwa kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni.

⁵to whom [is] the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

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

⁶I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

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

⁷that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

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

⁸but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you — anathema let him be!

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

⁹as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive — anathema let him be!

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

¹⁰for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please — Christ`s servant I should not be.

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

¹¹And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

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

¹²for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

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

¹³for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

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

¹⁴and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers` deliverances,

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

¹⁵and when God was well pleased — having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through His grace —

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

¹⁶to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

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

¹⁷nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

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

¹⁸then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days,

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

¹⁹and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

²⁰Zvino zvinhu zvandinokunyorerai, tarirai, pamberi paMwari handinyepi.

²⁰And the things that I write to you, lo, before God — I lie not;

²¹Shure kwaizvozvo ndakasvika kumatunhu eSiria neKirikia.

²¹then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

²²Asi ndakanga ndisingazikamwi pachiso nekereke dzeJudhiya dzaiva muna Kristu;

²²and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that [are] in Christ,

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

²³and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news — the faith that then he was wasting;`

²⁴vakarumbidza Mwari mandiri.

²⁴and they were glorifying God in me.
