Najot hamma uchun
1 Birodarlarim, men oʻz xalqim Isroilning najot topishini chin dildan istayman va bu uchun Xudoga iltijo qilaman. 2 Axir, oʻzim guvohman: ular jon–jahdlari bilan Xudoga berilganlar, ammo haqiqiy tushunchaga ega emaslar. 3 Xudoning insonlarni oqlash yoʻlini tushunmasdan, oʻzlarini oqlash niyatida, ular Xudoning haq yoʻliga boʻysunmadilar. 4 Iso Masih esa qonunning maqsadini amalga oshirdi, shu tariqa hamma imon orqali oqlanadi.
5 Qonun orqali oqlanish haqida Muso quyidagicha yozgan edi: “Xudoning qonun–qoidalariga rioya qilgan odam hayotdan bahramand boʻladi.” 6-7 Imon orqali oqlanish haqida esa Muqaddas bitiklarda nima deb yozilgan? “Yuragingizda: «Kim osmonga chiqadi? Kim tubsiz chuqurlikka tushadi?» deya soʻramanglar”, deb yozilgan . Demak, Masihni yerga tushirish uchun hech kim osmonga chiqishi shart emas, Masihni tiriltirish uchun ham hech kim oʻliklar diyoriga tushishi shart emas. 8 Axir, Muqaddas bitiklarda yana shunday yozilgan: “Bu kalom sizning yaqiningizdadir, ogʻzingizda va yuragingizdadir.” Biz vaʼz qilayotgan imon haqidagi kalom ana shudir. 9 Agar oʻz ogʻzingiz bilan Isoni Rabbim deb eʼtirof etib, Xudo Uni oʻlikdan tiriltirganiga chin yurakdan ishonsangiz, najot topasiz. 10 Chunki inson qalbidan ishonib oqlanadi va ogʻzi bilan eʼtirof etib najot topadi. 11 Muqaddas bitiklarda yozilganday: “Unga ishongan hech bir inson uyatga qolmaydi.” 12 Yahudiylar bilan gʻayriyahudiylar orasida aslo farq yoʻq. Ularning Rabbiysi bir boʻlib, Unga iltijo qilganlarning birontasidan U Oʻz mehr–shafqatini ayamaydi. 13 Axir, “Rabbimizga iltijo qilgan har bir inson qutqariladi” , deb yozilgan–ku.
14 Ammo Rabbimiz Isoga ishonmaganlar qanday qilib Unga iltijo qiladilar?! U haqda eshitmagan boʻlsalar, qanday qilib Unga ishonadilar?! Hech kim ularga Xushxabarni eʼlon qilmasa, qanday qilib eshitadilar?! 15 Ularni hech kim yubormasa, qanday qilib Xushxabarni eʼlon qiladilar?! Muqaddas bitiklarda quyidagicha yozilgan–ku: “Xushxabarni eʼlon qilgan xabarchining qadamlari naqadar goʻzal!” 16 Ammo Xushxabarga hamma ham ishonmadi. Ishayo ham shunday degan–ku: “Ey Egam, bizning xabarimizga kim ishondi?”
17 Demak, imon tinglashdan, yaʼni Masih haqidagi Xushxabarni eshitishdan kelib chiqadi. 18 Mening bir savolim bor. Xoʻsh, ular eshitmaganmidi? Albatta eshitganlar, chunki “xabarchilarning ovozlari har tomonga tarqaldi, xabarlari olamning chetigacha yetib bordi” , deb yozilgan–ku. 19 Bundan yana bir savol kelib chiqadi. Xoʻsh, Isroil xalqi xabarni tushunmadimi? Muso orqali Xudo shunday degandi:
“Men ham xalq boʻlmaganlar bilan ularning rashkini keltiraman,
Aqlsiz bir xalq bilan gʻazabini qoʻzgʻataman.”
20 Ishayo ham Xudoning soʻzlarini jasorat bilan yetkazgan:
“Meni izlamaganlar topdi,
Meni soʻramaganlarga koʻrindim.”
21 Isroil xalqi haqida esa shunday deydi:
“Itoatsiz va oʻjar xalqni
Kun boʻyi quchoq ochib kutdim.”
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above :) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
