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

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

²nehama dzose dzineni, kukereke dzeGaratia:

²and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches 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 gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:

⁵kwaari kune kurumbidzwa kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni.

⁵to whom [be] the 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 quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;

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

⁷which is not another [gospel] only there are 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, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.

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

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

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

¹⁰For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

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

¹¹For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.

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

¹²For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through 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 manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:

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

¹⁴and I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

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

¹⁵But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother's womb, and 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 preach him among the Gentiles; straightway 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 that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned 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 visit Cephas, and tarried 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 touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

²¹Shure kwaizvozvo ndakasvika kumatunhu eSiria neKirikia.

²¹Then I came unto the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

²²Asi ndakanga ndisingazikamwi pachiso nekereke dzeJudhiya dzaiva muna Kristu;

²²And I was still 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 only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;

²⁴vakarumbidza Mwari mandiri.

²⁴and they glorified God in me.
