Xudoning odil hukmi
1 Ey boshqalarni hukm qilayotgan inson! Sen kim boʻlishingdan qatʼi nazar, boshqalarni hukm qilishga hech haqing yoʻq. Sen boshqa odamni hukm qilib, oʻzingni ham mahkum etasan. Axir, oʻzing ham shu ishlarni qilyapsan–ku! 2 Bunday ishlar qilib yurganlarni Xudo mahkum qilishga haqli ekanini bilamiz. 3 Ayni shu ishlarni oʻzing qila turib, shunday ishlarni qiluvchilarni hukm etsang, Xudoning hukmidan qochib qutulaman, deb oʻylaysanmi?! 4 Xudoning cheksiz mehribonligi va sabr–toqatini pisand qilmayotganingni qara. Axir, Uning muruvvati seni tavbaga yetaklashini bilmaysanmi?! 5 Ammo sen oʻjarlik qilib, gunohlaringdan tavba qilmayapsan. Xudoning adolatli hukmi ayon boʻladigan qahr–gʻazab kunida boshingga tushadigan jazoni yanada koʻpaytiryapsan.
6 Xudo har kimni qilgan ishiga yarasha taqdirlaydi. 7 Yaxshi ishda qunt qilib, sharaf, hurmat–ehtirom va mangulikka intilganlarga Xudo abadiy hayot ato qiladi. 8 Ammo xudbinlik qiladigan, haqiqatni rad etib, adolatsizlikka ergashadiganlar qahr–gʻazabga duchor boʻladi. 9 Yovuzlik qiladigan har bir inson iztirobda qoladi, uning boshiga falokat tushadi, bu inson yahudiymi, gʻayriyahudiymi — farqi yoʻq. 10 Yaxshilik qiladiganlarga esa — yahudiylarga ham, gʻayriyahudiylarga ham, sharaf, hurmat–ehtirom va tinchlik nasib etadi. 11 Zero, Xudo tarafkashlik qilmaydi.
12 Xudoning qonunini bilmasdan turib gunoh qilganlar, qonunga aloqasiz ravishda hukm qilinadilar. Qonunni bila turib gunoh qilganlar esa qonun boʻyicha hukm qilinadilar. 13 Axir, qonunni eshitganlar emas, balki qonunga rioya qiladiganlar Xudoning oldida oqlanadilar. 14 Gʻayriyahudiylarda Xudoning qonuni yoʻq. Ammo qonunni bilmay turib, ular tabiiy ravishda qonunning buyurganlarini bajarsalar, oʻzlariga oʻzlari qonundirlar. 15 Bu bilan ular qonunning talablari oʻz yuraklarida yozilganini koʻrsatadilar. Ularning vijdoni ham bunga shahodat beradi, chunki ularning xayollari ularni goh qoralaydi, goh oqlaydi. 16 Xudo insonlarning yashirin oʻy–xayollarini Iso Masih orqali hukm qiladigan kunda bularning hammasi ayon boʻladi. Men keltirgan Xushxabarda ana shular bayon etilgan.
Yahudiylar va qonun
17 Mana, orangizdagilarning baʼzilari: “Men yahudiyman”, deydilar, qonunga suyangan holda, “Xudoga yaqinman”, deb maqtanadilar. 18 Ey yahudiy! Sen Xudoning xohish–irodasini bilish va yaxshini yomondan farq qilishni qonundan oʻrganib olibsan. 19-20 Xudoning qonunida barcha ilm–maʼrifat va haqiqat mujassam. Senda mana shu qonun borligi uchun sen koʻrlarga yoʻl koʻrsatuvchi, zulmatda qolganlarga nur, gʻofillarga murabbiy, gʻoʻr bolalarga esa muallim ekanligingga ishonching komil. 21 Shunday ekan, sen qanday qilib boshqalarga taʼlim bera turib, oʻzingga taʼlim bermaysan?! 22 “Oʻgʻrilik qilma”, deb nasihat qilib turib, oʻgʻrilik qilasanmi?! “Zino qilma”, deb turib, oʻzing zino qilasanmi?! “Butlardan jirkanaman”, deb turib, kufrlik qilasanmi?! 23 Qonunni bilaman, deb maqtanasan–u, lekin qonunni buzib, Xudoning nomiga dogʻ tushirasanmi?! 24 Axir, Muqaddas bitiklarda shunday yozilgan–ku: “Sizlarni deb, xalqlar orasida Xudoning nomi haqorat qilinmoqda.”
25 Sunnat masalasiga kelaylik. Agar sen qonunga rioya qiladigan boʻlsang, sunnatning foydasi bor. Ammo qonunni buzsang, sening sunnating sunnatsizlikdan hech farq qilmaydi. 26 Xuddi shuningdek, agar sunnat qilinmaganlar qonunga amal qilsalar, ularning sunnatsizligi sunnatday qabul qilinmaydimi?! 27 Shunday ekan, sunnatsiz boʻla turib, qonunga amal qiladigan odam seni mahkum qilmaydimi?! Axir, senda Muqaddas bitiklar bor, sen sunnat qilingansan–u, lekin baribir Xudoning qonunini buzasan. 28 Yahudiy urf–odatlari bilan yashaydiganlarning hammasi ham asl yahudiy emas. Jismoniy sunnatning oʻzi ham sunnatning asl maqsadini bajarmaydi. 29 Asl yahudiylik yurakdan kelib chiqadi. Asl sunnat, yaʼni yurakning sunnati qonunga amal qilishdan kelib chiqmaydi, balki Ruh tomonidan qilinadi. Asl yahudiy insonlarning emas, balki Xudoning maqtoviga sazovor boʻladi.
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; 19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
