¹Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

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

²On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

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

³When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

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

⁴If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

⁴Kana zvakafanira kuti ini ndiendewo, vachaenda neni.

⁵But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

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

⁶But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

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

⁷For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

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

⁸But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

⁸Asi ndichagara paEfeso kusvikira paPendekosita*.

⁹for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

⁹Nekuti ndazarurirwa mukova mukuru unobudirira; navapikisi vazhinji varipo.

¹⁰Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

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

¹¹Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

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

¹²Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

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.

¹³Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

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

¹⁴Let all that you do be done in love.

¹⁴Zvinhu zvenyu zvose ngazviitwe nerudo.

¹⁵Now I beg you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints),

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

¹⁶that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

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

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

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

¹⁸For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

¹⁸Nekuti vakavandudza mweya wangu newenyu. Naizvozvo gamuchirai vakadaro.

¹⁹The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

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

²⁰All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

²⁰Hama dzose dzinokukwazisai. Kwazisanai nekutsvoda kutsvene.

²¹This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

²¹Ndiko kukwazisa kwangu Pauro, neruoko rwangu.

²²If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed Greek: anathema. . Come, Lord! Aramaic: Maranatha!

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

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

²³Nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemwi.

²⁴My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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