¹Zvino, maererano nezvakaunganidzirwa vatsvene, sezvandakaraira kereke dzeGaratia, imwiwo itai seizvozvo.

¹Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

²nemusi wekutanga woga woga wevhiki, umwe neumwe wenyu ngaazvichengetere parutivi pakubudirira kwaakaita, kuti kurege kuva nekuunganidza kana ndichisvika.

²Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

³Uye kana ndasvika, chero vamunotenda ndichavatuma netsamba, vagondoisa zvipo zvenyu Jerusaremu.

³And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem:

⁴Kana zvakafanira kuti ini ndiendewo, vachaenda neni.

⁴and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me.

⁵Zvino ndichauya kwamuri, kana ndagura neMakedhonia; nekuti ndinogura neMakedhonia;

⁵But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;

⁶uye zvimwe ndichagara nemwi, kunyange kupedza chando, kuti mugondiperekedza parwendo rwangu pose pandinoenda.

⁶but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go.

⁷Nekuti handishuvi kukuonai zvino ndiri parwendo; nekuti ndinovimba ndichambozogara nemwi, kana Ishe achinditendera.

⁷For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

⁸Asi ndichagara paEfeso kusvikira paPendekosita*.

⁸But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost;

⁹Nekuti ndazarurirwa mukova mukuru unobudirira; navapikisi vazhinji varipo.

⁹for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

¹⁰Zvino kana Timotio achisvika, onai kuti unemwi asingatyi; nekuti unobata basa raIshe seniwo.

¹⁰Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do:

¹¹Naizvozvo ngakurege kuva nemunhu unomuzvidza. Asi mumuperekedze murugare, kuti auye kwandiri; nekuti ndakamutarisira pamwe nehama.

¹¹let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren.

¹²Zvino maererano naAporo hama yedu, ndakamukumbira zvikuru kuti auye kwamuri pamwe nehama; asi chishuwo chake chakange chisiri chekuuya kwamuri ikozvino, asi uchauya hake kana awana nguva yakafanira.

¹²But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not all [his] will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.

¹³Rindai, mirai nesimba murutendo, itai sevarume, musimbe.

¹³Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

¹⁴Zvinhu zvenyu zvose ngazviitwe nerudo.

¹⁴Let all that ye do be done in love.

¹⁵Ndinokukumbirisai hama, munoziva mhuri yaSitefana, kuti ndicho chibereko chekutanga cheAkaya, uye vakazvipira kushandira vatsvene;

¹⁵Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),

¹⁶kuti nemwi muzviise pasi pevakadaro, nekune vose vanotibatsira nevanoshingaira.

¹⁶that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboreth.

¹⁷Ndinofara nekuuya kwaSitefana naFochunato, naAkaiako, nekuti ivo vakazadzisa kutaira kwenyu.

¹⁷And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied.

¹⁸Nekuti vakavandudza mweya wangu newenyu. Naizvozvo gamuchirai vakadaro.

¹⁸For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.

¹⁹Kereke dzapaAsia dzinokukwazisai. Akwira naPrisira vanokukwazisai zvikuru muna Ishe, pamwe nekereke iri mumba mavo.

¹⁹The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

²⁰Hama dzose dzinokukwazisai. Kwazisanai nekutsvoda kutsvene.

²⁰All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

²¹Ndiko kukwazisa kwangu Pauro, neruoko rwangu.

²¹The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

²²Kana munhu asingadi Ishe Jesu Kristu, ngaave rushambwa. Uyai Ishe!

²²If any man loveth not the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha.

²³Nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemwi.

²³The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²⁴Rudo rwangu ngaruve nemwi mose muna Kristu Jesu. Ameni.

²⁴My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
