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

¹Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];

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 according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;

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

³(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, 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 [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously 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 yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain 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 from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat -- whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

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

⁷but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,

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

⁸(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards 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 recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that *we* [should go] to the nations, and *they* to the circumcision;

¹⁰chete kuti tirangarire varombo; chandakashingairirawo kuti ndichiite.

¹⁰only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.

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

¹¹But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:

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 ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;

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

¹³and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by 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 do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

¹⁵Isu vaJudha pachisikirwo, uye kwete vatadzi vanobva kuvahedheni,

¹⁵We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,

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.

¹⁶but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

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

¹⁷Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

¹⁸Nekuti kana ndikavakazve zvinhu zvandaputsa, ndinozviita mudariki.

¹⁸For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.

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

¹⁹For *I*, through law, have died to law, that I may live to 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, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

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

²¹I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
