Ecclesiastes 5:1 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: you, heart, God, words, thy · What happens: not be, let, be, utter, word · To what, where: heart, word, heaven, words

This is Ecclesiastes 5:1 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 — you, heart, God, words, thy — and what happens in the verse to heart, word, heaven, words, 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.

אַל־תְּבַהֵ֨ל עַל־פִּ֜יךָ וְלִבְּךָ֧ אַל־יְמַהֵ֛ר לְהוֹצִ֥יא דָבָ֖ר לִפְנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֤ים בַּשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְאַתָּ֣ה עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ עַֽל־כֵּ֛ןיִהְי֥וּ דְבָרֶ֖יךָ מְעַטִּֽים׃

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.

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

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

לָא תְבַהֵיל עַל מֵימְרָךְ לְשַׁבָּשָׁא יָת מִלֵּי פוּמָּךְ וְלִבָּךְ לָא יוֹחֵי לְאַפָּקָא מַמְלַל בְּעִדָּן דְּאַתְּ מְצַלֵּי [מִן] קֳדָם יְיָ אֲרוּם יְיָ שַׁלִּיט עַל כָּל עָלְמָא וְיָתִיב עַל כּוּרְסֵי יְקָרֵיהּ בִּשְׁמֵיה מְרוֹמָא וְאַנְתְּ יָתִיב עַל אַרְעָא בְּגִין כֵּן יְהוֹן מִלֵּי פוּמָּךְ קַלִּילִין:

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. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.
