Xudo butparastlikni hukm qiladi
1 Isroil oqsoqollaridan baʼzi birlari meni koʻrgani keldilar. 2 Shu onda Egamiz menga Oʻz soʻzini ayon qildi: 3 “Ey inson, bu odamlar butlarga koʻngil qoʻyganlar, gunoh ularning boshiga halokat keltiradi . Shunday ekan, Menga maslahat solishlariga qanday yoʻl qoʻyay?! 4 Sen ularga ayt: «Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: Isroil xalqidan birorta odam butlarga koʻngil qoʻysa, bu gunoh uning boshiga halokat keltiradi. Agar bunday odam maslahat soʻragani paygʻambar oldiga kelsa, Men, Egangiz, oʻsha odamning sanoqsiz butlariga yarasha javobini beraman. 5 Oʻsha butlari tufayli butun Isroil xalqi Mendan uzoqlashib ketdi, ammo Men beradigan javobim bilan ularning sadoqatini qozonaman.»
6 Isroil xalqiga ayt: «Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: tavba qilinglar, butlaringizdan voz kechinglar. Jirkanch odatlaringizdan yuz oʻgiringlar. 7 Ey Isroil xalqi, bilib qoʻyinglar, agar sizlardan birortangiz yoki orangizda yashab yurgan birorta musofir Mendan yuz oʻgirib, butlarga koʻngil qoʻysa, bu gunoh uning boshiga halokat keltiradi. Bunday odam paygʻambar oldiga kelib, Menga maslahat solsa, oʻsha odamga javobni Oʻzim beraman. 8 Men bunday odamlarga qarshi chiqaman. Boshqalar ularni misol qilib, masallar aytadi. Men ularni orangizdan yoʻq qilaman. Oʻshanda Egangiz Men ekanligimni bilib olasizlar.
9 Agar paygʻambar yanglishib, notoʻgʻri maslahat bersa, oʻsha paygʻambarni Men, Egangiz, yanglishtirgan boʻlaman. Men unga qarshi qoʻlimni koʻtaraman, uni orangizdan daf qilaman. 10 Men paygʻambarni ham, uning oldiga maslahat soʻrab kelgan odamni ham birday jazolayman. 11 Shunda sizlar yoʻlimdan ozmaydigan boʻlasiz, gunohlaringiz bilan oʻzingizni bulgʻamaysiz. Sizlar Mening xalqim boʻlasiz, Men esa sizlarning Xudoyingiz boʻlaman. Egamiz Rabbiyning kalomi shudir.»”
Egamiz yurt aholisini jazolashi muqarrar
12 Egamiz menga Oʻz soʻzini ayon qildi: 13 “Ey inson, agar biror yurtning aholisi Menga boʻlgan sadoqatini unutib, gunohga qoʻl ursa, Men ularga qarshi qoʻlimni koʻtarib, butun yurtga ocharchilik yuboraman. Odamlarni bir burda nonga zor qilaman. Yurtdagi odamu hayvonlarni qirib tashlayman. 14 Bunday xalq orasida hattoki Nuh, Doniyor va Ayub paygʻambarlar yashagan taqdirda ham, ular solihligi tufayli faqat oʻz jonlarini saqlab qolgan boʻlishardi, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz Rabbiy. 15 — Men oʻsha yurt aholisini yirtqich hayvonlarga talatmoqchi boʻldim, deylik. Yurt huvullab qolib, hayvonlar tufayli odamlar u yerga oyoq bosmay qoʻydi ham, deylik. 16 Men, Egangiz Rabbiy, barhayot Xudo boʻlganim haqi ont ichib aytamanki, agar oʻsha uchala paygʻambar u yerda boʻlganda edi, ular oʻz bola–chaqasini ham qutqara olmagan boʻlardi. Ular faqat oʻz jonlarini saqlab qolgan boʻlardi. Yurt esa xarobazorga aylanardi. 17 Yoki Men oʻsha yurtga dushman yuborib, u yerdagi bor jonzotni qilichdan oʻtkazishga qaror qildim, deylik. 18 Men, Egangiz Rabbiy, barhayot Xudo boʻlganim haqi ont ichib aytamanki, agar oʻsha uchala paygʻambar u yerda boʻlganda edi, ular oʻz bola–chaqasini ham qutqara olmagan boʻlardi. Ular faqat oʻz jonlarini saqlab qolgan boʻlardi, xolos. 19 Yoki Men oʻsha yurtga gʻazabimni yogʻdirib, butun jonzotni oʻlat orqali qirib tashlamoqchi boʻldim, deylik. 20 Men, Egangiz Rabbiy, barhayot Xudo boʻlganim haqi ont ichib aytamanki, hattoki Nuh, Doniyor va Ayub u yerda boʻlganda edi, ular oʻz bola–chaqasini ham qutqara olmagan boʻlardi. Ular faqat oʻz jonlarini saqlab qolgan boʻlardi.”
21 Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: “Men bundan ham battarini qilaman, Quddus ustiga toʻrt xil dahshatli kulfat yogʻdiraman. Shahardagi odamlar va hayvonlar urush, ocharchilik, yovvoyi hayvonlar dastidan va oʻlatdan nobud boʻladilar! 22 Ammo baʼzi erkagu ayollar omon qoladilar. Ular qochib, sizlarning oldingizga, Bobilga keladilar. Oʻshanda ularning yurish–turishini, qilmishlarini oʻzlaringiz koʻrib, Men Quddus ustiga yuborgan hamma kulfatlardan taskin topasizlar. 23 Ha, oʻsha odamlarning yurish–turishini, qilmishlarini koʻrganlaringizdan keyin taskin topasizlar. Qilgan hamma ishlarim bejiz emasligini bilib olasizlar.” Egamiz Rabbiyning kalomi shudir.
1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. 2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them? 4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; 5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 ¶ Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. 7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: 8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. 10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him; 11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
12 ¶ The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it: 14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
15 ¶ If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts: 16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17 ¶ Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: 18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19 ¶ Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: 20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. 21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22 ¶ Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it. 23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
