Ecclesiastes 5:17 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: you, I, wrath, one, evil, God · What happens: behold, see, be, eat, drink, enjoy · To what, where: that, pleasure, sun, days, evil, portion

This is Ecclesiastes 5:17 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 — you, I, wrath, one, evil, God — and what happens in the verse to that, pleasure, sun, days, evil, portion, 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.

הִנֵּ֞ה אֲשֶׁר־רָאִ֣יתִי אָ֗נִי ט֣וֹב אֲשֶׁר־יָפֶ֣ה לֶֽאֶכוֹל־וְ֠לִשְׁתּוֹת וְלִרְא֨וֹת טוֹבָ֜ה בְּכָל־עֲמָל֣וֹ ׀ שֶׁיַּעֲמֹ֣ל תַּֽחַת־הַשֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ מִסְפַּ֧ר יְמֵי־חַיָּ֛יואֲשֶׁר־נָֽתַן־ל֥וֹ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־ה֥וּא חֶלְקֽוֹ׃

Behold that which I have seen: it is good, yea, it is comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy pleasure for all his labour, wherein he laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him; for this is his portion.

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

statement

act

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

וְהָא דִי חֲזִית אֲנָא טָבָא הוּא לִבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא וּדְשַׁפִּיר לְהוֹן לְמֶעֱבַד בְּעָלְמָא הָדֵין דְּיֵיכְלוּן וְיִשְׁתּוּן מִן טוּרְחוּתְהוֹן בְּדִיל דְּלָא לְאוֹשָׁטָא יְדָא בַּאֲנוּסָא וַחֲטוּף לְמִטַּר פִּתְגָמֵי אוֹרָיְתָא וּלְמֵיחַן עֲנִיֵּי נִכְסָא מִן בִּגְלַל דְיֶחֱזוּן טָבְתָא בְּכָל טוּרְחוּתְהוֹן דִי טְרָחוּ בְּעָלְמָא הָדֵין תְּחוֹת שִׁמְשָׁא מִנְיַן יוֹמֵי חַיּוֹהִי דִּגְבַר דִי יְהַב לֵיהּ יְיָ בְמַזָּלֵיהּ אֲרוּם הוּא חוּלְקֵיהּ לֵית אֲחוֹרָן בָּר מִנֵּיהּ:

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. Behold that which I have seen: it is good, yea, it is comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy pleasure for all his labour, wherein he laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him; for this is his portion.
