Project "Audio Bible" (almost) finished. The message of Medjugorje
write again about the same, namely about our project record of the Bible. This is the last time, really. :) But it is worth to mention it again because, in principle, our project has been completed. Not quite yet, he is "in a raw state," and requires a very arduous time-consuming finishing work, but the whole Bible is available in audio form.
There is a very popular in the U.S. and enlightening story of four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody, which had some job to do. Many offices and work places a copy of it hangs on the wall, probably because people often remind employees of the company. I would like to quote it here:
"This is a little story about four people named Everybody , Somebody , Anybody, and Nobody .
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody 's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done"
Oczywiście wiem, że wszyscy tutaj znają na tyle angielski, by zrozumieć tę historyjkę. Zresztą bardzo trudno ją przetłumaczyć, bo w polskim języku stosujemy podwójne przeczenia. Mówimy "Nikt nie zrobił" tam, gdzie Anglicy mówią "Nikt zrobił". Dlatego nie da się przetłumaczyć tego do końca poprawnie. Dla tych paru osób, które jednak w szkole miały completely different language, translate the small corrections, but with meaning.
"There were four people calling themselves Each , Someone, whoever and Nobody . There were some serious job to do and Each was sure that Someone will do it. Whoever can do it, but Nobody did . Someone upset because it was the work Every . But Each thought Anyone can do and did not know that one not do it. I ended up so that each Someone accused , while Nobody did what Anybody could do. "
I decided to tell this story, because I am from time to time something inspires to inspire others to do some action. For the conversion of two individuals, for evangelization, to encourage others to come out with good news from its closed to other groups, etc., etc. I very rarely hear any echo those of my columns. My inspiration usually remain unanswered.
I suppose that perhaps overestimates the extent of what I write. Maybe no one reads. It is true www.polon.us page visits each week, several thousand persons were there for over half a million visitors, but then I do not know whether they are reading anything. Perhaps they go just as fast as they came. Even more astonishing is what happened in recent weeks. To the extent surprising that I can not push the impression that it was really action God.
As I already wrote about this several times, I wanted to find somewhere on the Internet audio Bible. Specifically, the Old Testament. I failed it, so I decided myself to go to work. First, I recorded the Old Testament using the electronic "read from". However, this form has its drawbacks. It is an artificial language, is not always correct intonation and it sounds like a living man. But what's the problem. Yet you can always burn the Bible alone.
course easier said than done. Not only is this colossal task, because are dozens of hours of work, but above all, not everyone has a "radio voice." I myself quickly realized this because they do not delay I recorded two short books of the Bible, the Book of Jonah and Song of Solomon . The result was, to put it mildly, not very satisfactory. But because it is not actually a form, but the content has also received a great deal. I decided to look for allies.
recording of the Bible is a powerful work. Reading Book Jonah takes 10 minutes, but the Psalms are more than 6 hours, Genesis, or longer prophetic books are four hours long. The task almost impossible for someone who can not spend it all your time, because no professional work, family and other responsibilities. They were so I needed allies. I had a task to convince as many people. I still count the fact that it will take several months. We would be happy if he went to finish for Christmas.
Everything is about what I write is done during the 40-day posts and prayers for the intention of unborn children and end legal abortion in the U.S.. During my previous stay in Charlotte, went to the clinic, in which the murdered unborn children to pray there. I met our Bishop, Peter Jugisa. I told him about this project, I asked for a blessing for me, for this task and for all those who assist them. Bishop Jugis blessed us with enthusiasm, noting that just takes place in Rome, the Synod of Bishops, whose purpose is to discuss how to bring the Word of God, the Bible, all the faithful in the Church. I did not even know about the Synod, but in a way that explained why now I heard this inner voice, the need to provide all of the Old Testament.
As already mentioned, the need I had many helpers. I went to look for them on Catholic forums. I wrote about this in the forums Radio Joseph, Krakow Barrels, forums Catholic parties, faith and apostle, and the forum page apologetyka.katolik.net. And on that last, just at this time when I prayed before the abortion mill, someone told me that after all, are somewhere RapidShare any files on the Audio Bible. Whole. Also, the Old Testament.
and actually checked. The entire Bible, professionally recorded, by an actor. The only problem that remains, is that from RapidShare without a paid account there, it downloads files very slow. What's more, each chapter of the Bible is a separate file, so to hear the whole book you need to download them all and gather together in one unit. Until that such recordings are usually the owner. You can not just find something in the net and publish as his own. Whatever whether it is music, video, or word, such a recording for someone to be and without the consent of the owner you can not afford to have this as if you yourself have done so.
went back to the forums and apologized to everyone that came back to the head. I said that there is no need to burn, since the files are ready. But I did not realize yet the case, how much you need to constantly work to publish these files in a form that is easily accessible to everyone. The more that it turned out that this is not a complete Bible and missing some chapters, which still need to dograć. And here was the amazing thing. Several people took over the entire initiative. Someone nicknamed KubaCh Joseph Radio Forum, which Choiński Cuba, became the leader of our initiative. Has determined what is necessary to be done, shared tasks (allocating the lion's share of them) and still working, check to annual budget and makes sure that everything posuwało forward. Someone nicknamed Vul our forum, namely Janusz Rydlakowski, helps very active in Cuba, including the recording is missing. You should also note here to thank the other, an anonymous helpers, and especially Artkowi and Zbyszko Michael and all the other sympathetic souls, for their help and their prayers. I turned out to be just the catalyst that started a reaction. All the work has been and still is performed by others.
But there was still the issue of copyright. The soul of the shoulder called the Central Library of the Polish Association of the Blind, to ask for permission to publish their records. Many people have prayed that we could settle this consent. I do not know if it made the prayer, or simply the Library Director, Mrs. Teresa MA Dederko is so nice and friendly person to all, but the fact is that with no reservations allowed us to release these files to publicly available servers. I wanted you here the director very, very much like to thank you for it.
And it's probably as much as I wanted to write about our project. As usual, spray the ball rolling in my life a little differently than we planned at the beginning. But as is so often repeated my favorite professor of theology, Scott Hahn, "Are you God laugh, tell him your plans. " My plan was different, something else happened. But it became something much better. We have managed to publish, to share the entire Old Testament in the easy form, so that everyone could hear the Word of God from the network, or download to your computer or iPod.
There is something special about the word, which is listened to. Jesus did not require anyone to do something he wrote. Commanded his disciples to preach the gospel. The first years of Christianity it was only the Word proclaimed. Moreover, Jews in the synagogues, just as we do at Mass, and together listen to the Bible, rather than read it themselves individually and quietly. Therefore, better read the Bible aloud, and it is good to listen to her. And now, thanks to some inspiration to some voice that I heard in the depths of his soul, and with the incredible work primarily Cuba, but also Janusz, Zbyszko, Artek, and others, by the fact that they have provided space on their servers that did not spare work, time and money, each of us has the whole Bible Millennial available for free and without any restrictions.
The project itself is not finished yet. The whole Bible is already available, but can occur any shortcomings, mistakes can happen. You have to keep doing fixes. On some technical issues, like "upload files to FTP, etc. I will not even mention because I just do not know what it is. Thank God that He put my way smarter than me who can do this project well. I am here just to bother you. Still, however, please submit the problems that maybe someone will notice. Preferably directly to Cuba. His email address is on its side with the Bible.
And finally a few addresses where you can see the result of our work. First of all party of Cuba. Her address is www.biblia-mp3.pl There you can find information on how to contact him. I've created a sister website, mirror, at www.audiobiblia.info , where you just copied everything from Cuba. Artek also took a page from the Bible and it has the address www.biblia-audio.pl may rise also. Therefore, I will add them into successive addresses: www.pierwsza.audiobiblia.info , www.druga.audiobiblia.info , www.trzecia.audiobiblia.info , www. czwarta.audiobiblia.info etc. Feel free to any of these sites, especially at the side of Cuba. Feel it in my forum, where you can trace the process of implementing this project. Especially in this thread see perfectly well that it was difficult and complicated task, and how it evolved. I especially invite you to listen to The Bible, because, as Saint Jerome and as we have not once recalled, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ."
