Ecclesiastes 3:17 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I, God, time · What happens: say, judge, be · To what, where: heart, righteous · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 3:17 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, God, time — and what happens in the verse to heart, righteous, 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 אֶת־הַצַּדִּיק֙ וְאֶת־הָ֣רָשָׁ֔ע יִשְׁפֹּ֖ט הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּי־עֵ֣ת לְכָל־חֵ֔פֶץ וְעַ֥ל כָּל־הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה שָֽׁם׃

I said in my heart: 'The righteous and the wicked God will judge; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.'

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: a frame and its quote
negation: no
the frame alone: decl · assert · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
אָמַרְתִּֽי I said	qatal · qal	אֲנִי I
יִשְׁפֹּט he will judge	yiqtol · qal	אֱלֹהִים God	צַּדִּיק righteous + רָשָׁע wicked

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

אֲמַרִית אֲנָא בְּלִבִּי יָת זַכָּאָה וְיָת חַיָּבָא יְדִין יְיָ בְּיוֹם דִּינָא רַבָּא אֲרוּם עִדָּן מִתְעֲבֵיד לְכָל עִסְקָא וְעַל כָּל עוֹבָדָא דַּעֲבַדוּ בְּעָלְמָא הָדֵין אִתְדוֹנוּן תַּמָּן:

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

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.

I said in my heart: 'The righteous and the wicked God will judge; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.'
