Printable ModeEcclesiast, 11
|
11:1 Arunca-ti painea pe ape, si dupa multa vreme o vei gasi iarasi! Arunca-ti. Ebr. shalach, "trimite". Painea. Interpretarea traditionala este de punere in practica a binefacerii sau bunatatii fata de altii, care va fi rasplatita intr-o zi. O alta aplicatie posibila este legata in speculatii comerciale si afaceri intelepte de tot felul. Pe ape. Literal, "pe fetele apelor". O vei gasi. Compara cu Luca 16,9. Indiferent la ce s-ar referi imaginea cu "painea", invatatura este aceea de a lucra intr-un spirit de darnicie si fara sa se astepte dobanzi imediate. 11:2 Imparte-o in sapte si chiar in opt, caci nu stii ce nenorocire poate da peste pamant. Imparte-o. Poate un sfat adresat cuiva de diversificare a activitatile sale comerciale si nu de limitare la un singur domeniu, de a-si investi capitalul in mai multe initiative. Din punct de vedere etic, sugereaza binefacere fata de cati mai multi cu putinta. Cele doua numere "sapte" si "opt," folosite impreuna, sugereaza un numar nedefinit, cu tendinta spre mai mult decat spre mai putin. Ca exemple de asemenea enumerari vezi Iov 33,14; Psalm 62,11; Proverbe 30,15. 18.21; Isaia 17,6; Mica 5,5. Nenorocire. [Rau, KJV]. Omul nu poate sa spuna ce nenorocire sta sa vina, fie inundatie, cutremur, razboi sau esec in afaceri. 11:3 Cand se umplu norii de ploaie, o varsa pe pamant. Ori incotro ar cadea copacul, fie spre miazazi, fie spre miazanoapte, in locul unde cade, acolo ramane. Cand se umplu norii. [Daca norii, KJV]. Afirmatia ar fi de preferat sa spuna: "Daca norii sunt plini, ei varsa ploaia pe pamant". Natura lucreaza in ascultare de legi. Tot astfel exista legi in sfera morala. Ar cadea copacul. Nimeni nu poate sa spuna in ce directie va cadea un copac in timpul unei furtuni puternice. Omul trebuie sa se deprinda sa fie pregatit pentru furtuna cat se poate mai bine si apoi sa se aplece odata ea decat sa incerce sa o tina sub pe ea. Interpretari fanteziste care fac din acest verset un comentariu despre moarte si la soarta omului sunt fara fundament valabil. Acolo ramane. Orice necaz ar veni, omul nu trebuie sa cedeze, ci sa ia lucrurile asa cum sunt si sa mearga inainte plin de curaj. Unele evenimente depasesc puterea de influenta a omului. Viata are multe evenimente neprevazute, dar acestea nu trebuie sa fie transformate in ocazii de disperare si de pierdere a hotararii. 11:4 Cine se uita dupa vant, nu va semana, si cine se uita dupa nori, nu va secera. Cine se uita. Daca un om se preocupa excesiv de mult de starea vremii si cere cu insistenta si exactitate conditiile cele mai bune inainte de a porni a lucru, munca lui agricola va avea de suferit. Omul nu poate astepta o zi perfecta sau conditii perfecte ca abia atunci sa incerce sa treaca la lucru. Unele riscuri trebuie sa fie asumate. 11:5 Cum nu stii care este calea vantului, nici cum se fac oasele in pantecele femeii insarcinate, tot asa nu cunosti nici lucrarea lui Dumnezeu, care le face pe toate. Vantului. [duh, KJV]. Tradus din acelasi cuvant care e redat "vant" in v. 4, dar probabil mai bine e inteles aici ca "duh". Oasele. Cresterea si dezvoltarea scheletului osos al fatului este un motiv de uimire (Iov 10,8-11; Psalm 139,13-17). Lucrarea lui Dumnezeu. Vezi la cap. 7,13. 11:6 Dimineata, seamana-ti samanta, si pana seara nu lasa mana sa ti se odihneasca, fiindca nu stii ce va izbuti, aceasta sau aceea, sau daca amandoua sunt deopotriva de bune. Dimineata. Evreii erau un popor agricol, iar ilustratiile din lucrarile agricole trebuie sa fie intelese ca reprezentand afaceri in general. Nu lasa mana sa ti se odihneasca. [Nu-ti retrage mana, KJV]. Cu toate ca nu cunoastem viitorul, aceasta nu indreptateste lenea. Succesul nu vine la intamplare. Este nevoie de pregatire sarguincioasa si completa, la inceput si mai tarziu. Izbuti. De la acelasi cuvant-radacina tradus "potrivit" [bine, KJV] in Estera 8,5. Amandoua. Nesiguranta ar trebui sa fie un indemn in plus la sarguinta, nu la inactivitate. Experimentarea constanta si efortul sunt preludiul succesului. 11:7 Dulce este lumina si o placere pentru ochi sa vada soarele. Dulce este lumina. Numai la lumina este posibil sa apreciem frumusetile lumii naturale, sa lucram bine sau sa calatorim in siguranta. Urmand sfatul dat in v. 6, omul poate ajunge la o experienta mai plina si mai satisfacatoare in viata. O placere. A trai este bine. A fi in stare sa faci fata indatoririlor zilei e ceva placut pentru orice persoana normala. Soarele este folosit ca simbol al grijii ocrotitoare a lui Dumnezeu in Psalm 84,11 si Maleahi 4,2. 11:8 Deci, daca un om traieste multi ani, sa se bucure, in toti anii acestia, si sa se gandeasca ce multe vor fi zilele de intuneric. Tot ce va veni este desertaciune. Sa se bucure. [Si se bucura, KJV]. Mai bine "sa se bucure." Conjunctia "si" [KJV] nu e in ebraica. Viata este mult prea scurta si perioada de timp randuita omului trebuie sa fie intrebuintata cu folos. Daca cineva e binecuvantat cu viata lunga, timpul ar trebui sa fie folosit in intregime in mod profitabil si fericit. Zilele de intuneric. Incidentele potrivnice ale vietii ar trebui sa nu fie uitate pentru valoarea lor disciplinara. Izbavirea din primejdie sau paguba ar trebui sa fie apreciata in mod corespunzator. Unii comentatori aplica expresia "intuneric" la mormant citand Psalm 88,12; 143,3; cf. Iov 10,21.22. 11:9 Bucura-te, tinere, in tineretea ta, fii cu inima vesela cat esti tanar, umbla pe caile alese de inima ta si placute ochilor tai; dar sa stii ca pentru toate acestea te va chema Dumnezeu la judecata. Bucura-te. Sunt recomandabile o dispozitie vesela si o atitudine voioasa fata de viata. Sunt bucurii care fac ca viata sa aiba valoare. Sfatul lui Solomon nu e o invitatie la exces, ci la o apreciere a binecuvantarilor vietii. Tineretea. Prima aparitie a acestui cuvant in v. 9, ebr. yalduth, se refera la tinerete, al doilea, ebr. bachur, la floarea varstei. Primul mai apare in Psalm 110,3, al doilea in Eclesiast 12,1. Inima ta. Toate dorintele si nevoile legitime trebuie sa fie implinite, dar desfraul si satisfacerea peste masura a placerii trebuie sa fie osandite si evitate. Judecata. Ce gand serios! Omul nu poate sa evite sa-L intalneasca pe Judecatorul sau. Nu-i va folosi la nimic daca se preface ca nu urmeaza sa faca fata unei judecati, deoarece Dumnezeu nu-Si va opri mana (vezi Maleahi 3,5; cf. Apocalipsa 20,11-15). 11:10 Goneste orice necaz din inima ta, si departeaza raul din trupul tau; caci tineretea si zorile vietii sunt trecatoare. Necaz. [Intristare, K JV]. Mai degraba "suparare" sau "provocare" [KJV] (vezi Deuteronom 32,19; 1 Regi 15,30; 21,22; Ezechiel 20,28), "ocari" [manie, KJV] (Deuteronom 32,27; Psalm 85,4; Proverbe 12,16; Eclesiast 7,9) sau "suferinte" (Psalm 10,14). Forma verbala a cuvantului este in general tradusa "a atata la manie". Raul. Ceea ce aduce vatamare trupului, o referire mai ales la excesele morale care duc la degradare fizica (vezi 1 Corinteni 6,18.19; 2 Corinteni 7,1). Tineretea. [Copilaria, KJV]. De la acelasi cuvant ebraic tradus "tinerete" in prima parte a v. 9. Zorile vietii. [Tinerete, KJV]. Ebr. shacharuth, un cuvant folosit in forma aceasta doar aici. S ar putea sa provina dintr-o radacina care inseamna "negru" (vezi Cantarea Cantarilor 5,11). Sensul cuvantului shacharuth e nesigur, dar sugestia anterioara l-ar face sa se refere la zorile vietii, cand un om are un cap cu parul negru. Unii cred ca shacharuth poate fi derivat de la shachan "[lumina roz care precede] zorile." Astfel, shacharuth ar insemna aici "zorile [vietii]". Trecatoare. Atat tineretea cat si zorile vietii trec repede.

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
