Printable Mode1 Samuel 1:27
|
1:27 Pentru copilul acesta ma rugam, si Domnul a ascultat rugaciunea pe care I-o faceam. Copilul acesta. Varsta lui Samuel la care a fost intarcat este necunoscuta. Este ceva obisnuit in Orient pentru un copil sa continue sa suga pana la varsta de trei ani si este foarte posibil ca Isaac, de pilda, sa fi fost in varsta de cinci ani cand Avraam a dat ospatul la care el l-a facut pe Isaac mostenitorul lui (vezi Geneza 21,8). Deoarece Ana nu mai participase la serbare de la nasterea lui Samuel, probabil ca Eli a uitat incidentul. In conformitate cu acest verset, Ana nu-i spusese lui Eli natura cererii ei, dar acum cu mare bucurie ea face acest lucru. Dand expresie bucuriei ei, ea a facut o inversare a cuvantului ebraic sha'al, ,,a cere”, folosind diferite forme ale verbului. Tradus in mod literal, textul se reda, ,,Cu privire la acest copil m-am interpus si Domnul mi-a dat cererea mea pe care am cerut-o de la El, si eu de asemenea sunt constransa sa ma interesez de el pentru Domnul. Atata timp cat el traieste, el este cerut pentru Domnul.” Ana a recunoscut ca darul ei pentru Dumnezeu a fost mai intai darul Lui pentru ea. Ea putea sa spuna impreuna cu David, ,,din mana Ta primim ce-Ti aducem” (1 Cronici 29,14). O iubire ca aceasta a fost aceea care a facut-o pe Rut sa exclame, ,,Faca-mi Domnul ce va vrea, dar nimic nu ma va desparti de tine decat moartea” (Rut 1,17) si pe Pavel sa afirme, ,,Pentru mine a trai este Hristos” (Filipeni 1,21). NOTA ADITIONALA ASUPRA CAPITOLULUI 1 Asezarea exacta a lui Ramataim-Tofim, localitatea de domiciliu a lui Samuel, nu se cunoaste. S-au sugerat diferite asezari: (1) Beit Rima din Efraim, cam la 11 mile (18 km) vest de Silo, unde muntii Palestinei centrale dispar spre dealurile rasucite ale Sefelei, sau poate ca 5 mile (8 km) mai departe la vest de Rentis; (2) er-Ram din Beniamin, cam la 5 1/2 (8,8 km) mile nord de Ierusalim pe drumul spre Sihem; (3) Ramala din Efraim, 9 mile (14,4 km) nord de Ierusalim, 12 mile (19,2 km) sud de Silo si 1,75 mile (2,8 km) sud-vest de Betel. Beit Rima, 11 mile (17,6 km) vest de Silo, si Rentis, chiar mai departe spre vest erau prea departe de Ghibea lui Saul (din Beniamin) pentru a fi considerate ca localitate natala a lui Samuel (1 Samuel 9,1 la 10,9; comp. cu PP, p. 608, 609). Saul n-ar fi cautat magaritele tatalui sau 25 sau chiar 30 de mile departare de casa in timpul celor doua zile cat au fost pierdute, nici n-ar fi fost posibil pentru el si slujitorul lui sa cerceteze toate dealurile, vaile si vagaunile acelui teren muntos pana in a treia zi. Alte cetati cu numele de Rama din Aser (Iosua 19,29), Neftali (Iosua 19,36), Simeon (Iosua 19,8) si Manase (Ramoth-Ghilead, Deuteronom 4,43, comp. cu 2 Regi 8,29; 2 Cronici 22,6) sunt chiar mai departe si de aceea imposibil de luat in considerare. Importanta dovezii pare sa favorizeze Ramala, in muntii de la sud de Efraim, aproape de hotarul lui Beniamin. O cetate asezata in apropierea aceasta cuprinde toate specificarile cunoscute pentru locul natal al lui Samuel. Rama din Judecatori 4,5 aproape de care era finicul Deborei, nu era departe de Betel; dupa cum s-a observat, Ramala este cam la 3 mile de Betel. Rama aceasta nu putea fi Rama lui Beniamin, pentru ca atunci scriitorul ar fi numit vreo alta cetate din atatea mai aproape de Rama lui Beniamim decat Betelul din muntii lui Efraim. Samuel s-a nascut la Rama (1 Samuel 1,1.19. 20; PP, p. 572). Aici l-a slujit el pe Israel ca preot, profet si judecator si a intemeiat una dintre cele doua scoli initiale ale profetilor (1 Samuel 7,17; 8,4; 15,34; 19,18–20; PP, p. 593, 604). Este vadit ca aceasta a fost cetatea nenumita unde Saul l-a intalnit pe Samuel si a fost uns ca imparat (1 Samuel 9,5.6.11.14.18; PP, p. 608, 609). Aici a murit Samuel si a fost inmormantat (1 Sa 25:1; 28:3). Rama lui Samuel a mai fost cunoscuta si ca Ramataim-Tofim (1 Samuel 1,1.19), din ,,tara lui Tuf” (1 Samuel 9,5; comp. cu PP, p. 608, 609). Tuf a fost un descendent al lui Levi prin Chahat si un stramos al lui Samuel din a cincia generatie (1 Cronici 6,33-38). La impartirea Canaanului, levitilor chehatiti li s-au atribuit cetati in diferite semintii, incluzand Iuda, Beniamin si Efraim (vezi Iosua 21,4.5; 1 Cronici 6,54-70). Districtul in care locuiau descendentii lui Tuf – tufitii – avea sa fie cunoscut, propriu-zis, ca ,,tara a lui Tuf” (1 Samuel 1,1; 9,5) si cetatile lor Rama ca Ramataim-Tufim, literal, ,,Ramataim a tofitilor”. Elcana, tatal lui Samuel, era ,,din muntele lui Efraim”, si probabil, ca si stramosul sau Tuf, un efratit (1 Samuel 1,1). Un efratit era un locuitor fie din Betleem (Rut 1,2; 1 Samuel 17,12) fie din Efraim (1 Regi 11,26). Elcana era, dupa cat se pare, un efratit in ultimul inteles. Muntele Efraim era doar regiunea muntoasa dinauntrul hotarelor lotului semintiei lui Efraim si nu cuprindea, propriu-zis, nici o parte a muntilor lui Beniamin (vezi Judecatori 18,12.13; 19,13-16; 1 Samuel 9,4). Despre nici un loc nu se vorbeste in Biblie ca fiind in ,,muntele Efraim”. Domnul il descrie pe Saul lui Samuel ca pe ,,un om din tara lui Beniamin” (1 Samuel 9,16). Ba mai mult, cand Saul a plecat din Rama, locul natal al lui Samuel, din muntele Efraim, el a trecut hotarul lui Beniamin spre a ajunge la domiciliul lui propriu la Ghibea, in Beniamin (1 Samuel 10,2-9; PP, p. 608, 609). Unii au identificat cetatea nenumita din 1 Samuel 9,1 la 10,9 ca fiind Betleemul. Identificarea aceasta este intemeiata pe afirmatia din Geneza 35:16-19 ca Rahela a fost inmormantata numai la ,,o departare bunicica de ,,Efrata, sau Betleem”, si pe referirea din 1 Samuel 10,2 la mormantul Rahelei ca fiind ,,in hotarul lui Beniamin la Teltah”. Dar, ca si cu Rama, adevaratul loc al mormantului Rahelei nu este cunoscut. El era pe drumul dintre Betel si Betleem (Geneza 35:16-19), o distanta de ceva mai mult de 15 mile (24 km). Dar textul ebraic din Geneza 35:16, ,,o cale scurta pana la Efrata” (engl.) se reda in mod literal ,,oarecare distanta de Efrata”, ceea ce inseamna distanta considerabila (vezi despre Geneza 35:16). Locul traditional al mormantului Rahelei, o mila sau mai mult la nord de Betleem, ar fi cam la 4 mile (6,4 km) de hotarul lui Beniamin. Dar in conformitate cu textul ebraic din 1 Samuel 10,2, mormantul Rahelei era mult mai aproape de hotar decat acesta, posibil chiar inauntrul hotarelor lui Beniamin. Daca totusi s-ar intelege mai degraba ca este vorba despre hotarul de nord al lui Beniamin decat de cel de sud, se armonizeaza cu ambele texte ebraice din Geneza 35:16 si localitatea Telta la nord de Ierusalim. [Probabil ca Telta trebuie identificata cu Tela din Iosua 18,28 si 2 Samuel 21,14, posibil a fi modernul Chirbet Sala, la cateva mile nord de Ierusalim.] Mentiunea lui Ieremia despre tipatul Rahelei care ,,isi plange copiii” (Ieremia 31:15; comp. cu Geneza 35:16-19) ca fiind auzit ,,in Rama”, inseamna ca mormantul Rahelei n-a fost departe de Rama, si aceasta este in acord cu instructiunile lui Samuel pentru Saul din 1 Samuel 10:2. Dar locul traditional aproape de Betleem ar fi la mai mult decat 9 mile (14,4 km) de Rama din Beniamin si aproape 13 mile (20,8 km) de Ramala din Efraim. Referirea lui Ieremia la ,,Rahela”, care ,,isi plange copiii” se intemeiaza pe intamplarea istorica a adunarii iudeilor captivi de la Rama pregatindu-se pentru calatoria spre Babilon (vezi Ieremia 31,1-17; 40,1). Aplicatia profetica a declaratiei lui Ieremia este facuta in Matei 2,18 (vezi despre Deuteronom 18,15). Daca aceasta Rama nu a fost aproape de mormantul Rahelei, referirea lui Ieremia la ,,Rahela”, care ,,isi plange copiii” ar fi mai degraba fara sens. Referirea lui in continuare la Samaria si muntele Efraim (Ieremia 31,5.6) pare sa reclame o Rama aproape de hotarul lui Beniamin si Efraim, si aceasta coroboreaza informatiile date in 1 Samuel 10,2.

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).
