Haki za Binadamu na Ima<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> Kikristo 103<br />
Hakimu <strong>ni</strong> lazima awe macho <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong> ukweli k<strong>wa</strong>mba Mungu anamtazama na<br />
husimama upande <strong>wa</strong> mwenye haki, “Kuipotosha haki <strong>ya</strong> mtu mbele zake<br />
aliye <strong>juu</strong>, na kutupilia mbali madai <strong>ya</strong>ke, B<strong>wa</strong>na haridhii” (Maombolezo<br />
3:35-36).<br />
K<strong>wa</strong> sababu hii Biblia ina maelekezo mengi kuhusu haki, hatua za kisheria<br />
zimhusuzo binadamu. K<strong>wa</strong> mfano, mashtaka huhitaji <strong>wa</strong>lau mashahidi <strong>wa</strong>wili<br />
(Hes. 35:30; Kumb. 17:6; 19:15; Mat. 18:16; Yoh. 8:17; Ebr. 10:28; 1 Tim.<br />
5:18), hivyo basi mashtaka <strong>ya</strong>nalet<strong>wa</strong> na mashahidi <strong>wa</strong>wili au <strong>wa</strong>tatu (Kumb.<br />
10:17-18). Washitaki wenye vurugu ha<strong>wa</strong>paswi kusikiliz<strong>wa</strong> (Zab. 35:11).<br />
Mahakimu <strong>wa</strong>naoongoza <strong>wa</strong>napas<strong>wa</strong> kutoku<strong>wa</strong> na upendeleo kabisa (Kumb.<br />
1:16; 2 N<strong>ya</strong>. 19:7; Mith 18:5; 24:23; Ayu. 13:10; Kol. 3:25; Efe 6:9), k<strong>wa</strong> ku<strong>wa</strong><br />
Mungu mwenyewe hana upendeleo (Kumb. 10:17-18). Ni mahakimu <strong>wa</strong>ovu tu<br />
<strong>wa</strong>lio na upendeleo (Isa. 10:1-2; 3:9).<br />
Hukumu inapas<strong>wa</strong> kufany<strong>wa</strong> pasipo ma<strong>wa</strong>zo <strong>ya</strong> haraka haraka<br />
<strong>ya</strong>siyothibitish<strong>wa</strong> (1 Tim. 5:21), bali baada <strong>ya</strong> hakimu aki<strong>wa</strong> amekwisha<br />
chunguza k<strong>wa</strong> maki<strong>ni</strong> uthibitisho wote (Kumb. 17:4). “Fanye<strong>ni</strong> hukumu za<br />
kweli”, Mungu anasema katika Zekaria 7:9; hivyo basi hukumu haipaswi<br />
kubatilish<strong>wa</strong>.<br />
“Paki<strong>wa</strong> na mashindano kati <strong>ya</strong> <strong>wa</strong>tu, <strong>wa</strong>naenda katika hukumu, ili<br />
k<strong>wa</strong>mba mahakimu <strong>wa</strong>weze ku<strong>wa</strong>hukumu; basi <strong>wa</strong>tampa haki mwenye<br />
haki, na kumhukumu mwovu” (Kumb. 25:1). Rush<strong>wa</strong> haipaswi kuathiri mao<strong>ni</strong><br />
<strong>ya</strong> hakimu. “Mtu mwovu hupokea rush<strong>wa</strong> nyuma mgongo<strong>ni</strong> kupotosha njia<br />
za hukumu” (Mith. 17:23). Mungu <strong>ni</strong> mfano mkuu. “K<strong>wa</strong> maana BWANA<br />
Mungu wenu <strong>ni</strong> Mungu <strong>wa</strong> miungu, na B<strong>wa</strong>na <strong>wa</strong> mab<strong>wa</strong>na, Mungu mkuu,<br />
mwenye uweza, na <strong>wa</strong> kuogof<strong>ya</strong>, ambaye hajali nafsi za <strong>wa</strong>tu, <strong>wa</strong>la<br />
kuchukua za<strong>wa</strong>di” (Kumb. 10:17). “Basi sasa hofu <strong>ya</strong> BWANA iwe <strong>juu</strong><br />
yenu; zingatie<strong>ni</strong> na mkafanye, k<strong>wa</strong> ku<strong>wa</strong> hakuna uovu k<strong>wa</strong> BWANA<br />
Mungu wetu, <strong>wa</strong>la kuheshimu nafsi za <strong>wa</strong>tu, <strong>wa</strong>la kupokea za<strong>wa</strong>di” (2 N<strong>ya</strong>.<br />
19:7).<br />
K<strong>wa</strong> ujumla, Maandiko <strong>ya</strong>nahalalisha za<strong>wa</strong>di zinapotole<strong>wa</strong> k<strong>wa</strong> furaha au<br />
ku<strong>wa</strong>saidia <strong>wa</strong>tu. Wakati mwingine Biblia inatambua ku<strong>wa</strong> za<strong>wa</strong>di zaweza<br />
ku<strong>wa</strong> muhimu, iki<strong>wa</strong> <strong>wa</strong>tu <strong>wa</strong>nataki<strong>wa</strong> kufikia lengo halali. M<strong>wa</strong>limu mwema<br />
anatueleza, “Za<strong>wa</strong>di <strong>ya</strong> mtu humpatia nafasi, humleta mbele <strong>ya</strong> <strong>wa</strong>tu <strong>wa</strong>kuu”<br />
(Mith. 18:16) na “za<strong>wa</strong>di <strong>ya</strong> siri hutuliza hasira; na tuzo kifua<strong>ni</strong> humaliza<br />
ghadhabu kali” (Mith. 21:14). Mtu mwenye haki anapokabili<strong>wa</strong> na maofisa<br />
mafisadi, hana tumai<strong>ni</strong> la kufikia malengo <strong>ya</strong> kisheria k<strong>wa</strong> ukamilifu. Iki<strong>wa</strong> hana<br />
nafasi <strong>ya</strong> kushinda ufisadi huu k<strong>wa</strong> njia yoyote ile, anaweza kupata haki zake<br />
k<strong>wa</strong> kutumia za<strong>wa</strong>di. Ni <strong>wa</strong>kati tu anunuapo ufisadi, yeye mwenyewe<br />
anahukumi<strong>wa</strong> hatia <strong>ya</strong> ufisadi. Yule anayelazimish<strong>wa</strong> ku<strong>wa</strong>pa rush<strong>wa</strong> wengine<br />
k<strong>wa</strong> hakika atajibidisha kuondoa ufisadi, hususa<strong>ni</strong> katika ka<strong>ni</strong>sa, au katika<br />
taasisi nyingine za kidi<strong>ni</strong>.
