Before you do anything, back up both zone files!
Merge and deconflict any differences. Set the "true" master to a higher
serial number. Disable zone updates on the secondary.
Pause for a scream test.
Then "the usual" applies: set one of them to be a secondary and the master
to allow zone transfers from it. Configure Notify if desired.
Make sure it works, i.e. a zone transfer (AXFR / IXFR) occurs and the
correct serial number is represented in the SOA.
Pause for another scream test.
