52:1 Cap. 50 - Cinstea datorata parintilor 52:2 Obligatia copilului fata de parinti. Copiii trebuie sa simta ca sunt datori fata de parintii lor, care au vegheat asupra lor in pruncie si i-au ingrijit cand au fost bolnavi. Ei ar trebui sa nu uite ca parintii lor s-au ingrijorat mult pe seama lor. In special parintii constiinciosi, credinciosi, si-au dat tot interesul ca odraslele lor sa apuce pe o cale buna. Cand copiii lor greseau, cat de impovarate le erau inimile! Daca fiii si fiicele care au provocat acele dureri de inima ar putea vedea efectul purtarii lor, ei ar fi cu siguranta mai usor de induplecat. Daca ar putea vedea lacrimile mamei si auzi rugaciunile inaltate catre Dumnezeu in favoarea lor, suspinele ei inabusite, inimile lor ar fi mai sensibile si si-ar marturisi mai in graba greselile, cerand iertare. 1 52:3 Copiii, cand ajung maturi, isi vor lauda parintele care a lucrat cu credinciosie si nu le-a ingaduit sa nutreasca simtaminte negative sau sa-si formeze obiceiuri daunatoare. 2 52:4 O porunca pentru toti. "Cinsteste pe tatal tau si pe mama ta ca sa ti se lungeasca zilele in tara pe care ti-o da Domnul Dumnezeul tau." Aceasta este cea dintai porunca insotita de o fagaduinta. Este valabila pentru copii, tineri, maturi si oameni in varsta. Nu exista in viata nici o perioada in care copiii sa se poata scuza ca nu si-au cinstit parintii. Aceasta obligatie solemna revine fiecarui fiu, fiecarei fiice si constituie una dintre conditiile pentru prelungirea vietii lor in tara pe care Domnul o da celor credinciosi. Acesta nu este un subiect nedemn de luat in seama, ci unul de o importanta vitala. 52:5 Fagaduinta este implinita, cu conditia ascultarii. Daca vei asculta, vei trai mult in tara pe care ti-o va da Domnul Dumnezeul tau. Daca nu vei asculta, nu te vei bucura de zile multe in aceasta tara. 3 52:6 Parintilor li se cuvine o masura de dragoste si respect care nu se cuvine nici unei alte persoane. Insusi Dumnezeu, care a asezat asupra lor responsabilitatea pentru sufletele incredintate grijii lor, a randuit ca, in anii de inceput ai vietii, parintii sa-L reprezinte pe Dumnezeu fata de copiii lor, iar acela care respinge autoritatea indreptatita a parintilor respingeautoritatea lui Dumnezeu. Porunca a cincea cere de la copii nu numai respect, supunere si ascultare fata de parintii lor, dar si iubire, duiosie, dorinta de a le usura sarcinile, de a le pastra bunul nume si de a-i ajuta la batranete. 4 52:7 Dumnezeu nu-i poate face sa prospere pe aceia care merg in directie opusa datoriei clar specificate in cuvantul Sau, datoria copiilor fata de parintii lor... Daca ei isi necinstesc si dezonoreaza parintii pamantesti, ei nu-L vor respecta si iubi nici pe Creatorul lor. 5 52:8 In cazul in care copiii au parinti necredinciosi si poruncile acestea vin in contradictie cu cerintele Domnului Hristos, atunci, oricat de dureros ar fi, ei trebuie sa asculte de Dumnezeu si sa lase urmarile pe seama Lui. 6 52:9 Multi calca porunca a cincea. In aceste vremuri de pe urma, copiii sunt atat de neascultatori si lipsiti de respect, iar Dumnezeu a consemnat acest lucru in mod special, el constituind un semn ca sfarsitul este aproape. Aceasta denota ca Satana are stapanire aproape deplina asupra mintilor celor tineri. Multi nu-i mai respecta pe cei in varsta. 7 52:10 Exista multi copii care sustin faptul ca ei cunosc adevarul, dar nu le acorda parintilor lor onoarea si dragostea 52:11 pe care li le datoreaza, care nu dovedesc decat putina iubire fata de tatal si mama lor, necinstindu-i, netinand seama de dorintele lor si necautand sa le usureze poverile. Multi dintre cei ce marturisesc a fi crestini nu stiu ce inseamna sa-ti "cinstesti tatal si mama", in consecinta stiu la fel de putin ce inseamna "sa ti se lungeasca zilele in tara pe care ti-o va da Domnul, Dumnezeul tau." 8 52:12 In acest veac la razvratirii, acei copii care nu au beneficiat de o educatie si o disciplina corespunzatoare au doar in mica masura simtul ca au obligatii fata de parintii lor. Adesea se intampla urmatoarea situatie: cu cat parintii fac mai mult pentru copiii lor, cu atat acestia sunt mai neascultatori si ii respecta mai putin. Copiii care au fost favorizati, giugiuliti si cocolositi asteapta intotdeauna acest lucru; si daca asteptarile lor nu sunt indeplinite, ei sunt dezamagiti si se descurajeaza. Aceeasi tendinta se va putea vedea apoi de-a lungul intregii lor vieti; ei se vor simti neajutorati, se vor bizui pe altii pentru ajutor, asteptand ca ceilalti sa le acorde favoruri si sa cedeze in fata lor. Si daca cineva li se opune, chiar dupa ce au ajuns la varsta maturitatii, ei se simt nedreptatiti; si astfel calea vietii li se pare grea, se ingrijoreaza, de-abia isi pot duce poverile, adesea murmura si sunt nervosi, pentru ca nimic nu le este pe voie. 9 52:13 In ceruri nu este loc pentru copii nerecunoscatori. Am vazut ca Satana a orbit mintile celor tineri, pentru ca ei sa nu inteleaga adevarurile din Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu. Simturile lor sunt atat de tocite, incat ei nu iau in seama indemnurile sfantului apostol: 52:14 "Copii, ascultati in Domnul de parintii vostri, caci este drept. Sa cinstesti pe tatal tau si pe mama ta este cea dintai porunca insotita de o fagaduinta, ca sa fii fericit si sa traiesti multa vreme pe pamant (cel nou)." 52:15 "Copii, ascultati de parintii vostri in toate lucrurile, caci lucrul acesta place Domnului." Copiii care isi necinstesc parintii, nu ii asculta si nu tin seama de sfaturile si indemnurile lor nu pot avea parte de pamantul cel nou. Pamantul cel nou, curatit, nu va fi un loc pentru fiul sau fiica razvratita si nerecunoscatoare. Daca acestia nu invata ascultarea si supunerea aici, nu o vor invata niciodata; pacea celor rascumparati nu va fi tulburata de copiii neascultatori, nestapaniti si nesupusi. Nici un calcator al poruncii nu poate mosteni Imparatia cerurilor. 10 52:16 Sa se manifeste iubire. Am vazut copii care par a nu avea dragoste pentru parintii lor, care nu-si exprima afectiune fata de acestia, lucru pe care ei li-l datoreaza si ar fi apreciat; in schimb, dovedesc afectiune din belsug pentru anumite persoane pe care ei le prefera. Asa vrea Dumnezeu? Nu, nu. Aduceti toate razele de soare, de iubire si afectiune in cercul familiei. Tatal si mama voastra vor aprecia aceste mici atentii pe care li le puteti oferi. Eforturile tale de a usura poverile, de a respinge orice cuvant nechibzuit si de nemultumire, arata ca tunu esti un copil neatent si ca apreciezi grija si dragostea care ti-au fost acordate pe cand erai doar un prunc si un copil neajutorat. 11 52:17 Copii, este necesar ca mamele voastre sa va iubeasca, altfel ati fi foarte nefericiti. Dar nu este oare, de asemenea, drept ca si copiii sa-si iubeasca parintii si sa-si dovedeasca aceasta iubire prin priviri, cuvinte placute si printr-o cooperare voioasa, din inima, ajutandu-l pe tata la treburile din afara casei, iar pe mama lacele din interiorul ei? 12 52:18 Fapte considerate a fi fost facute pentru Isus. Daca sunteti convertiti cu adevarat, daca sunteti copii ai lui Isus, va veti cinsti 52:19 parintii, nu doar facand ceea ce va spun ei, ci cautand ocazii de a-i ajuta. Facand astfel, lucrati pentru Domnul Isus. El considera ca aceste fapte bune, aceasta purtare de grija sau atentie, sunt facute Lui Insusi. Aceasta este cea mai importanta lucrare misionara; iar aceia care sunt credinciosi in aceste mici datorii de zi cu zi dobandesc o experienta valoroasa. 13 52:20 1.

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).
