Ecclesiastes 2:16 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: remembrance, wise man · What happens: be, see, come, forget, die · To what, where: all · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 2:16 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 — remembrance, wise man — and what happens in the verse to all, 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.

כִּי֩ אֵ֨ין זִכְר֧וֹן לֶחָכָ֛ם עִֽם־הַכְּסִ֖יל לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּשֶׁכְּבָ֞ר הַיָּמִ֤ים הַבָּאִים֙ הַכֹּ֣ל נִשְׁכָּ֔ח וְאֵ֛יךְ יָמ֥וּת הֶחָכָ֖ם עִֽם־הַכְּסִֽיל׃

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will long ago have been forgotten. And how must the wise man die even as the fool!

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.

Pragmatics

form

statement

act

assert

voice

character

speech

inside a quote begun earlier

negation

yes

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

The Targum

אֲרוּם לֵית דָכְרָנָא לְחַכִּימָא עִם שָׁטְיָא לְעַלְמָא דְּאָתֵי וּבָתַר מִיתַת גַבְרָא מָה דַּהֲוָה כְּבָר בְּיוֹמוֹהִי כַּד יֵיתוּן יוֹמַיָּא דַּעֲתִידִין לְמֶהֱוֵי בַתְרוֹהִי כּוֹלָא אִשְׁתַּכַּח וְאֵיכְדֵין יֵימְרוּן בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא דְהִיא סוֹפָא דְּצַדִּיקַיָּא כְּסוֹפָא דְחַיָיבָא:

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

English, JPS 1917

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

1. For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will long ago have been forgotten.
2. And how must the wise man die even as the fool!
