Pambu<strong>ng</strong>ad<br />
Eclesiastes 1–12<br />
A<strong>ng</strong> ibig <strong>sa</strong>bihin <strong>ng</strong> Eclesiastes ay “i<strong>sa</strong><strong>ng</strong> tao<strong>ng</strong> nagtitipon <strong>ng</strong><br />
i<strong>sa</strong><strong>ng</strong> ko<strong>ng</strong>regasyon.” Isina<strong>sa</strong>lin ito ku<strong>ng</strong> min<strong>sa</strong>n na “ma<strong>ng</strong>a<strong>ng</strong>aral.”<br />
A<strong>ng</strong> aklat <strong>ng</strong> Eclesiastes, tulad <strong>ng</strong> Job at Mga Kawikaan,<br />
ay tinatawag ku<strong>ng</strong> min<strong>sa</strong>n na “literatura <strong>ng</strong> karunu<strong>ng</strong>an”<br />
at kabila<strong>ng</strong> dito a<strong>ng</strong> mga turo<strong>ng</strong> nagpapakita <strong>ng</strong> kahigitan<br />
<strong>ng</strong> karunu<strong>ng</strong>an <strong>sa</strong> kaha<strong>ng</strong>alan. Bukod dito, Eclesiastes<br />
a<strong>ng</strong> pa<strong>ng</strong>-apat na aklat <strong>sa</strong> bahagi <strong>ng</strong> Luma<strong>ng</strong> <strong>Tipan</strong> na itinuturi<strong>ng</strong><br />
na patula (ti<strong>ng</strong>nan <strong>sa</strong> Gabay <strong>sa</strong> mga Banal na Kasulatan,<br />
“Biblia,” mga pahina 28–29).<br />
A<strong>ng</strong> pinakatema <strong>ng</strong> aklat <strong>ng</strong> Eclesiastes ay nag<strong>sa</strong><strong>sa</strong>bi<strong>ng</strong> wala<strong>ng</strong><br />
halaga a<strong>ng</strong> buhay ku<strong>ng</strong> hindi nakasentro <strong>sa</strong> Diyos. Ayon<br />
<strong>sa</strong> sulat <strong>ng</strong> ma<strong>ng</strong>a<strong>ng</strong>aral, “Ito a<strong>ng</strong> wakas <strong>ng</strong> bagay; lahat ay<br />
narinig: ikaw ay matakot <strong>sa</strong> Dios, at sundin mo a<strong>ng</strong> kaniya<strong>ng</strong><br />
mga utos; <strong>sa</strong>pagka’t ito a<strong>ng</strong> buo<strong>ng</strong> katu<strong>ng</strong>kulan <strong>ng</strong> tao”<br />
(Eclesiastes 12:13).<br />
Para <strong>sa</strong> mas detalyado<strong>ng</strong> buod <strong>ng</strong> aklat <strong>ng</strong> ito, ti<strong>ng</strong>nan <strong>sa</strong> Gabay<br />
<strong>sa</strong> mga Banal na Kasulatan, “Eclesiastes” (p. 55; ti<strong>ng</strong>nan din<br />
<strong>sa</strong> “Ecclesiastes: The Mes<strong>sa</strong>ge of the Preacher” <strong>sa</strong> Old Testament:<br />
1 Ki<strong>ng</strong>s–Malachi, p. 19).<br />
Ila<strong>ng</strong> Mahahalaga<strong>ng</strong> Alituntunin<br />
<strong>ng</strong> Eba<strong>ng</strong>helyo na Hahanapin<br />
• A<strong>ng</strong> kapayapaan at wala<strong>ng</strong> ha<strong>ng</strong>ga<strong>ng</strong> kaligayahan ay matatagpuan<br />
<strong>sa</strong> eba<strong>ng</strong>helyo ni Jesucristo, hindi <strong>sa</strong> mga makamundo<strong>ng</strong><br />
tagumpay o pag-aari (ti<strong>ng</strong>nan <strong>sa</strong> Eclesiastes<br />
1:1–3, 12–18; 2:1–11; 12:13–14).<br />
• Nakabala<strong>ng</strong>kas <strong>sa</strong> plano <strong>ng</strong> kaligayahan a<strong>ng</strong> a<strong>ng</strong>kop na<br />
panahon o pagkakasunud-sunod <strong>para</strong> <strong>sa</strong> lahat <strong>ng</strong> layunin<br />
<strong>ng</strong> Diyos. A<strong>ng</strong> pagsunod <strong>sa</strong> kanya<strong>ng</strong> plano ay nagdudulot<br />
<strong>ng</strong> kaligayahan (ti<strong>ng</strong>nan <strong>sa</strong> Eclesiastes 3:10–11).<br />

na ideya, gamit a<strong>ng</strong> kalakip na mga tano<strong>ng</strong>:<br />
