Printable ModeNeemia 2:20
|
2:20 Si eu le-am raspuns: Dumnezeul cerurilor ne va da izbanda. Noi, robii Sai, ne vom scula si vom zidi; dar voi, n-aveti nici parte, nici drept, nici aducere aminte in Ierusalim. Eu le-am raspuns. E vrednic de observat faptul ca Neemia nu a luat deloc in seama acuzatia grava adusa acum impotriva lui ca ar pune la cale o rebeliune. De asemenea nu face referire la ordinul imparatesc pe care-l detinea, ci ii lasa pe vrajmasii sai sa presupuna sa lucreaza prin propria sa autoritate. Cu siguranta ca a avut motivele sale de a trimite adversarilor sai raspunsul pe care l-a trimis. Dumnezeul cerurilor. Neemia, un om foarte religios, a stiut cum sa depinda de Dumnezeu. In loc sa indice un decret imparatesc, el s-a referit la cea mai inalta autoritate posibila ca fiind aceea de la care venise permisiunea. Compara cu raspunsul lui Zorobabel adresat lui Tatnai: "Noi suntem slujitorii Dumnezeului cerurilor si al pamantului si zidim din nou casa" (Ezra 5,11). N-aveti nici parte. Tot astfel cum pretentia samaritenilor de a avea dreptul sa se amestece in treburile iudeilor a fost respinsa, atunci cand ei au venit sa-si ofere ajutorul (Ezra 4,2.3), tot astfel acum cand amestecul lor a devenit ostil, el a fost respins cu si mai multa impotrivire si indignare. Li s-a spus ca ceea ce se petrecea in Ierusalim nu-i privea si ca ei nu aveau loc nici macar in amintirea locuitorilor. Neemia le-a explicat ca el dorea sa nu mai existe nici un amestec din partea lor si sa-si vada de treburile propriilor lor comunitati si sa nu-i tulbure pe inchinatorii adevaratului Dumnezeu. Pana aici, Neemia evitase opozitia ascunzandu-si planurile, dar de indata ce opozitia s-a aratat, a infruntat-o curajos. NOTE SUPLIMENTARE LA CAPITOLUL 2 Nota 1 Un grup de documente aramaice publicat in 1954 (vezi la p. 80) include unul care poate fi comparat cu un pasaport oficial. El a fost redactat de Arsam, satrapul Egiptului, care era in Susa sau in Babilon pe vremea scrierii, in folosul anumitor oameni ai lui care calatoreau spre Egipt cu treburi oficiale. Acest document este, fara indoiala, asemanator celui pe care l-a primit Neemia de la imparat si deci ajuta la intelegerea acestuia. Cu toate ca documentul nu este datat, el tine de timpul lui Neemia, deoarece Arsam, contemporan cu Neemia, a fost satrap al Egiptului timp de multi ani, in cea de-a doua jumatati a sec. V i.Hr. Documentul este adresat unui numar de slujbasi din fruntea cetatilor sau provinciilor pe drumul dintre Persia si Egipt, carora li se cerea sa furnizeze provizii detinatorilor acestui permis de calatorie. In ceea ce priveste cetatile respective, nu se cunoaste decat amplasarea cetatilor Arbel, modernul Erbil, din nordul Irakului, si a Damascului din Siria. Intrucat documentul acesta ilustreaza tipul de autorizatie pe care Neemia a primit-o de la Artaxerxe pentru calatoria lui in Iudea, este prezentata mai jos o traducere completa a lui (vezi G. R. Driver, Aramaic Documents of the Fifth Century B.C. [1954], p. 20): 1. 1. De la Arsam catre Marduc, slujbasul care este la A[...]kad, Nabu-dala, slujbasul care este la Lair, Zatuhay, slujbasul care este [la] Arzuhin, Apastabar, slujbasul care este la Arbel, Hala si Matilabasi (si) Bagapat, slujbasul(ii) 2. 2. care sunt la Salam, Pradaparna si Guzan, slujbasii care sunt la Damasc. Si acum, iata cineva numit Nehtihur, slujbasul [meu] se duce in Egipt. Dati-i (ca) provizii din domeniul meu, in provinciile noastre 3. 3. in fiecare zi doua masuri de faina inferioara (?), doua masuri de vin sau bere si o oaie, iar pentru slujitorii sai, 10 oameni 4. 4. o masura de faina zilnic, pentru fiecare (si) fan dupa (numarul) cailor sai, si dati provizii pentru doi cilicieni (si) un mestesugar, toti trei, slujitorii mei care merg cu el in Egipt pentru fiecare si 5. 5. orice om, zilnic o masura de faina; si dati-le proviziile acestea, fiecare slujbas la randul sau, potrivit cu durata calatoriei sale de la o provincie la alta, pana ajunge in Egipt; 6. si daca e mai mult ca o zi in (oricare) loc, nu-i dati mai multe provizii pentru zilele acelea. Bagasaru are cunostinta de ordinul acesta. Dust este scribul. Nota 2 Indoiala cu privire la care Artaxerxe este monarhul din cartea lui Neemia a disparut aproape complet de la descoperirea papirusurilor de la Elefantina. Dovada cuprinsa in unele dintre aceste papirusuri stabileste efectiv faptul ca Neemia a detinut functia de guvernator al Iudeii sub Artaxerxe I. Dupa doua papirusuri elefantine (Cowley, papirusurile nr. 30 si 31), Iohanan a fost mare preot la Ierusalim in anul 410 i. Hr. El este mentionat si in Neemia 12,22.23 (vezi Ezra 10,6) ca fiu al marelui preot Eliasib, care a detinut slujba pe vremea lui Neemia (Neemia 3,1). Iosif Flavius (Antiquities, xi, 7.1) sustine totusi ca Iohanan era nepotul lui Eliasib, care apare sa corespunda cu afirmatia din Neemia 12,22, si anume ca Ioiada a fost mare preot intre Eliasib si Iohanan. Totusi faptul ca Iohanan a fost fiul sau nepotul al lui Eliasib este irelevant pentru discutia noastra, intrucat suntem interesati sa aflam daca, potrivit ambelor surse, Biblia si Iosif, marele preot Eliasib din timpul lui Neemia l-a precedat pe marele preot Iohanan, care detinea slujba in anul 410 i.Hr. Aceasta cere ca Neemia sa fie plasat in timpul domniei imparatului Artaxerxe I, intrucat Artaxerxe II nu a inceput sa domneasca decat dupa aparitia acestor documente, care erau contemporane cu fiul sau nepotul lui Eliasib. Dovada suplimentara vine din mentionarea lui "Delaia si Selemia, fiii lui Sanbalat, guvernator al Samariei" (Cowley, nr. 30, randul 29). Aceasta arata ca Sanbalat, cel mai inversunat vrajmas al lui Neemia, era inca guvernator al provinciei Samaria in anul 407 i.Hr., cand scrisoarea a fost scrisa (vezi la cap. 2,10). Avand in vedere faptul ca scrisoarea se adreseaza fiilor lui Sanbalat, se pare ca acesta era batran si le transferase acestora conducerea. Perioada cand Sanbalat hotara singur asupra treburilor pare sa fi fost de domeniul trecutului. Intrucat lucrarea lui Neemia se plaseaza cu siguranta in perioada in care Sanbalat era prins in mod activ in conducerea treburilor de stat din Samaria, devine evident faptul ca singurul Artaxerxe sub care Neemia ar fi putut detine functia era Artaxerxe I, care a murit in anul 423 i.Hr. Doar putin savanti din perioada ultimilor ani s-au indoit ca Artaxerxe din Neemia era Artaxerxe I. COMENTARIILE LUI ELLEN G.

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).
