Ecclesiastes 2:19 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: remembrance, I, This · What happens: know, be, have, labour, show · To what, where: wise man, rule, labour, myself, vanity · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 2:19 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, I, This — and what happens in the verse to wise man, rule, labour, myself, 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.

וּמִ֣י יוֹדֵ֗עַ הֶֽחָכָ֤ם יִהְיֶה֙ א֣וֹ סָכָ֔ל וְיִשְׁלַט֙ בְּכָל־עֲמָלִ֔י שֶֽׁעָמַ֥לְתִּי וְשֶׁחָכַ֖מְתִּי תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ גַּם־זֶ֖ה הָֽבֶל׃

And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is 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.

Pragmatics

form: wh-question
act: ask
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
יוֹדֵעַ [is] knowing	participle active · qal	מִי who?	יִהְיֶה will he be
יִהְיֶה will he be	yiqtol · qal
יִשְׁלַט he will have power	yiqtol · qal

חָכַמְתִּי I have been wise	qatal · qal

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

וּמַן יְדַּע הֶחַכִּים יְהֵא אוֹ טִפֵּשׁ מַלְכָּא דַּעֲתִיד לְמֶהֱוֵי בָּתְרַי וְיִשְׁלַט בְּכָל טַרְחוֹתִי דִי טְרָחִית בְּעַלְמָא הָדֵין וּבְכָל מַה דְּאַתְקֵנִית בְּחוּכְמְתִי תְּחוֹת שִׁמְשָׁא בְּעַלְמָא הָדֵין וְתָהִית בְּלִבִּי וְתָבִית לְמֵימַר אַף [יַת] דֵּין הֲבָלוּ:
