Ecclesiastes 2:1 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I, this · What happens: say, come, try, enjoy, be · To what, where: heart, thee, pleasure, vanity · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 2:1 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — I, this — and what happens in the verse to heart, thee, pleasure, vanity, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 12 chapters of Ecclesiastes on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

אָמַ֤רְתִּֽי אֲנִי֙ בְּלִבִּ֔י לְכָה־נָּ֛א אֲנַסְּכָ֛ה בְשִׂמְחָ֖ה וּרְאֵ֣ה בְט֑וֹב וְהִנֵּ֥ה גַם־ה֖וּא הָֽבֶל׃

I said in my heart: 'Come now, I will try thee with mirth, and enjoy pleasure'; and, behold, this also was vanity.

The tree

Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss.

The Targum

אֲמָרִית אֲנָא בְּלִבִּי אֵיזֵיל כְּעַן הָכָא וְאַבְחִין בְּחֶדְוָא וְאֶחֱזֵי בְּטוֹב עַלְמָא הָדֵין וּכְדוֹ מְטָא עָלַי צַעֲרָא וְסִיגוּפָא אֲמָרִית בְּמֵימְרִי הָא אַף דֵּין הוּא הֲבָלוּ:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
