Pirkei Avoth 5:16 Commento: Bartenura, Rambam, Tosafot Yom Tov & Ikar Tosafot Yom Tov

כָּל אַהֲבָה שֶׁהִיא תְלוּיָה בְדָבָר, בָּטֵל דָּבָר, בְּטֵלָה אַהֲבָה. וְשֶׁאֵינָהּ תְּלוּיָה בְדָבָר, אֵינָהּ בְּטֵלָה לְעוֹלָם. אֵיזוֹ הִיא אַהֲבָה הַתְּלוּיָה בְדָבָר, זוֹ אַהֲבַת אַמְנוֹן וְתָמָר. וְשֶׁאֵינָהּ תְּלוּיָה בְדָבָר, זוֹ אַהֲבַת דָּוִד וִיהוֹנָתָן:

Tutto l'amore che dipende da una cosa passeggera —una volta che la cosa passa, passa l'amore; e (tutto l'amore) che non dipende da una cosa che passa [come l'amore di tzaddikim e dei saggi] non passa mai. Cos'è l'amore che dipende da una cosa passeggera? Il livello di Amnon e Tamar, [Amnon ama Tamar per la sua bellezza]. E (che cos'è l'amore) che non dipende da una cosa passeggera? L'amore di David e Jonathan [per soddisfare la volontà del loro Maestro. Jonathan disse a David (I Samuele 23:17): "Sarai il re su Israele e io sarò il tuo viceré".

Bartenura

Any love that is dependent on something transient: that does not last. When the thing that was the cause for that love perishes, the love will also perish. But any love that is not dependent on something transient, but rather on something lasting - for example, the love of the righteous men and the sages - never perishes. In the same way that the thing which is the cause of that love does not perish, so [too] does the love not perish.

Rambam

The explanation of these words is like this: You know that if the physical causes are negated and removed, then it will be necessary that what they cause will be removed with the removal of its cause. And because of this, when the cause of the love is a divine matter - and that is the true science - it is impossible for that love to be removed ever, as its cause is eternally in existence.

Tosafot Yom Tov

DEPENDS ON SOMETHING. Rav’s text has “on something fleeting. When the thing passes, etc.”
