I have written it down exactly as he told it to me

"This is a true story. I have written it down exactly as he told it to me, without making up a single word. It is the pure truth."

Personally I don't like the tautology of правдиво - правда and true - truth. My preference would be to leave out the last sentence in the translation because it ads nothing, but that's up to you.

recorded this from his own words

I recorded this true story from his own words-in it there is nothing but truth and not an ounce of invention.

My humble version. :-)
