Ecclesiastes 6:2 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: God, stranger, this · What happens: give, want, desire, not give, eat, be · To what, where: riches, man, nothing, power, him, vanity

This is Ecclesiastes 6:2 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 — God, stranger, this — and what happens in the verse to riches, man, nothing, power, him, 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.

אִ֣ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִתֶּן־ל֣וֹ הָאֱלֹהִ֡ים עֹשֶׁר֩ וּנְכָסִ֨ים וְכָב֜וֹד וְֽאֵינֶ֨נּוּ חָסֵ֥ר לְנַפְשׁ֣וֹ ׀ מִכֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־יִתְאַוֶּ֗ה וְלֹֽא־יַשְׁלִיטֶ֤נּוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ לֶאֱכֹ֣ל מִמֶּ֔נּוּ כִּ֛י אִ֥ישׁ נָכְרִ֖י יֹֽאכֲלֶ֑נּוּ זֶ֥ה הֶ֛בֶל וָחֳלִ֥י רָ֖ע הֽוּא׃

a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

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

גְּבַר דִי הַב לֵיהּ יְיָ בְּמַזָּלֵיהּ עוֹתַר וְנִכְסִין וְלֵיתוֹהִי מַחְסַר לְנַפְשֵׁיהּ מִכָּל דִי יִתְרְעֵי וְלָא אַשְׁלְטֵיהּ יְיָ עַל עוּתְרֵיהּ לְמִטְעַם מִנֵּיהּ אֱלָהֵין יְמוּת בְּלָא וְלַד וְלָא חָס עַל קְרִיבֵיהּ לְאַחְסָנוּתֵיהּ לֵיהּ אֲרוּם אִנְתְּתֵיהּ תְּהֵא מִתְנַסְבָּא לִגְבַר חִילוֹנָאֵי וְיַחְסְנִינֵּיהּ וְיֵכְלִינֵּיהּ כָּל דֵּין גְּרַמוּ לֵיהּ חוֹבוֹהִי דְּלָא עֲבַד מִנֵּיהּ מִדָּעַם טָב וְאִתְהֲפֵיךְ עָתְרֵיהּ לְמֶהֱוֵי לֵיהּ לַהֲבָלוּ וּלְמַרְעָא בִישָׁא:

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. a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
