5:1 Adu-Ti aminte, Doamne, de ce ni s-a intamplat! Uita-Te si vezi-ne ocara! Adu-ti aminte. Acest poem final din cartea Plangerilor este o rugaciune pentru refacere. Starile pe care el le zugraveste, sunt aparent acelea din Iuda si din poporul lui in perioada de dupa caderea Ierusalimului. Poemul acesta formeaza un contrast cu poemele din cap. 1,4 din diferite feluri: el nu este un acrostih, desi are hotarat 22 de versete, acelasi numar ca literele alfabetului ebraic; si nu este scris in metrul caracteristic al plangerii ebraice (vezi p. 544). Cu toate acestea, capitolul acesta are remarcabile calitati poetice. Fiecare verset consta din oua parti, care sunt paralele, repetitia fiind o inovatie bine cunoscuta a poeziei ebraice (vezi Vol. III, p. 23-28). Poetul a dat de asemenea o neobisnuit de mare atentie la sunet, fapt care este remarcabil, intrucat rima si asonanta nu sunt in general caracteristice pentru poezia ebraica. 5:2 Mostenirea noastra a trecut la niste straini, casele noastre la cei din alte tari! Strain. Vezi comentariul la cap. 1,10. 5:3 Am ramas orfani, fara tata; mamele noastre sunt ca niste vaduve. Vaduve. Vezi comentariul la cap. 1,1. Aici e de inteles atat vaduvia figurata cat si cea literala, intrucat multi barbati au murit in lupte, in timp ce fara indoiala multi dintre ceilalti au fost luati in captivitate, dar sotiile si copiii lor fusesera lasati inapoi. 5:4 Apa noastra o bem pe bani, si lemnele noastre trebuie sa le platim. Apa. Chiar si cele mai obisnuite necesitati ale vietii acum puteau fi capatate numai pe bani. 5:5 Prigonitorii ne urmaresc cu indarjire, si cand obosim, nu ne dau odihna. Prigonitorii ne urmaresc cu indarjire. Literal, expresia aceasta spune: ,,pe grumazii nostri ne fugaresc”. Intelesul ar putea fi ca ei erau urmariti cu aprindere. Unii considera ca ar fi mai de dorit sensul cu referire la cruzimea sclaviei, la care erau supusi cu forta: ,,suntem manati de grumazii nostri”. In inscriptiile egiptene prizonierii sunt aratati legati laolalta de gat. 5:6 Am intins mana spre Egipt, spre Asiria, ca sa ne saturam de paine. Am intins mana. Adica, ,,ne-am supus la” (vezi Ezra 10,19; Ieremia 50,15; Ezechiel 17,18). Egipt. Si Iuda fusese anterior sub dominatia egipteana in cursul primei parti a domniei lui Ioiachim (vezi p. 347). Asiria. Vezi comentariul la Ezra 6,22. 5:7 Parintii nostri, care au pacatuit, nu mai sunt, iar noi le purtam pacatele. Parintii nostri. Vezi 2Regi 21,11-15; 23,26.27. 5:8 Robii ne stapanesc, si nimeni nu ne izbaveste din mainile lor. Robii. Sau ,,Slujitorii”. In intrebuintarea din Vechiul Testament, termenul acesta, cand era aplicat la slujbasi ai carmuirii, nu arata neaparat o pozitie de mai mica insemnatate in viata, ci putea sa se refere inclusiv la slujbasi de rang inalt (vezi comentariul la Neemia 2,10). 5:9 Ne cautam painea cu primejdia vietii noastre, caci ne ameninta sabia in pustie. Sabia in pustie. Aceasta expresie unica probabil se refera la pradatorii desertului, care jefuiau pe oameni cand isi cautau hrana in tara lor goala si lipsita de aparare. 5:10 Ne arde pielea ca un cuptor, de frigurile foamei. Ne arde pielea ca un cuptor. Sau ,,Pielea noastra era neagra ca un cuptor”. Literal, ,,se incingea”. O imagine vie reprezentand febra care era produsa de foametea teribila a asediului final al Ierusalimului (vezi cap. 2,20; 4,10). 5:11 Au necinstit pe femei in Sion, pe fecioare in cetatile lui Iuda. Verset ce nu a fost comentat. 5:12 Mai marii nostri au fost spanzurati de mainile lor; Batranilor nu le-a dat nici o cinste. Spanzurati de mainile lor. O metoda obisnuita de tortura in toate timpurile. 5:13 Tinerii au fost pusi sa rasneasca, si copiii cadeau sub poverile de lemn. Cadeau sub poveri. Copilasii erau fortati sa poarte poveri excesiv de grele de lemne. Macinarea cerealelor si caratul lemnelor erau socotite ca sarcini ale slugilor (vezi Judecatori 16,21; vezi comentariul la Iosua 9,21). 5:14 Batranii nu se mai duc la poarta, si tinerii au incetat sa mai cante. Poarta. Vezi comentariul la Geneza 19,1; Iosua 8,29; Plangeri 1,4. 5:15 S-a dus bucuria din inimile noastre, si jalea a luat locul jocurilor noastre. Jocurile. Jocurile erau considerate de evrei ca o deosebita exprimare a bucuriei si a laudei (Psalmi 30,11; 149,3; 150,4; Ieremia 31,4.13; vezi comentariul la 2Samuel 6,14). 5:16 A cazut cununa de pe capul nostru! Vai de noi, caci am pacatuit! Cununa. Caderea suveranitatii nationale devine simbolica pentru tot ceea ce Iuda pierduse o data cu ea. 5:17 Daca ne doare inima, daca ni s-au intunecat ochii, Intunecat. Fie literal, din cauza plansului peste masura de mare, fie in sens figurat, din cauza scenelor inspaimantatoare, pe care ei le vedeau (vezi comentariul la cap. 3,51). 5:18 este din pricina ca muntele Sionului este pustiit, din pricina ca se plimba sacalii prin el. Muntele Sionului. Adica, Ierusalimul (vezi comentariul la Psalmi 48,1.2). Muntele Sionului era indeosebi considerat ca locas al lui Iehova (vezi Psalmi 74,2; 76,2), dar acum prezenta Domnului se departase. Sacalii. Ebr. shu‘alim. Folosit si cu privire la vulpi (vezi comentariul la Judecatori 15,4). Prezenta vulpilor, si indeosebi a sacalilor, scoate in evidenta pustietate si salbaticimea locului care candva fusese inima cetatii celei mari. Evident cadrul acestui poem reflecta o stare la ceva vreme dupa nimicirea cetatii. 5:19 Dar Tu, Doamne, imparatesti pe vecie; scaunul Tau de domnie dainuieste din neam in neam! Imparatesti. Indiferent ce s-ar putea intampla omului, Dumnezeu este de-a pururi deasupra omului, deoarece fagaduintele Lui sunt sigure. Pe vecie. Ebr. le‘olam (vezi comentariul la Exod 12,14; 21,6; 2Regi 5,27). 5:20 Pentru ce sa ne uiti pe vecie, si sa ne parasesti pentru multa vreme? Pe vecie. Ebr. lanesach (vezi comentariul la 1Samuel 15,29). 5:21 Intoarce-ne la Tine, Doamne, si ne vom intoarce! Da-ne iarasi zile ca cele de odinioara! Intoarce-ne. Literal, ,,adu-ne inapoi”, ,,fa sa ne intoarcem”, de unde ,,refa-ne”. Aceasta este totusi mult mai mult decat o rugaciune de scapare din robie. Ieremia de repetate ori a folosit acelasi fel de vorbire si pentru restaurarea pamanteasca, si pentru cea spirituala (Ieremia 3,1.12; 31,16-21). Aici este scos in evidenta aptul ca numai Dumnezeu poate sa repuna in favoarea divina pe pacatosul pierdut, numai El poate sa acorde harul, care face cu putinta ca un pacatos sa se pocaiasca, sa se ,,intoarca” la El (vezi Fapte 5,31; Romani 2,4). 5:22 Sa ne fi lepadat Tu de tot oare, si sa Te fi maniat Tu pe noi peste masura de mult? Lepadat de tot? Vorbirea ebraica poate fi tradusa aici si ca o intrebare plangatoare: ,,Dar ne-ai lepadat Tu de tot?” Iehova nu l-a lepadat de tot pe Iuda. Fagaduintele de restaurare pe care insusi Ieremia le-a proclamat sunt in mare numar (Ieremia 16,13-15; 27,21.22; 30,5-24; 33,7-9; Plangeri 3,22.31.32). Comentariile lui Ellen G. White 1-3,7,8,17,19-21 PK 463 |

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).
Multilingual Online Ebooks
