Ecclesiastes 9:14 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: great king · What happens: come, besiege, build · To what, where: sun, great bulwarks

This is Ecclesiastes 9:14 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 — great king — and what happens in the verse to sun, great bulwarks, 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.

עִ֣יר קְטַנָּ֔ה וַאֲנָשִׁ֥ים בָּ֖הּ מְעָ֑ט וּבָֽא־אֵלֶ֜יהָ מֶ֤לֶךְ גָּדוֹל֙ וְסָבַ֣ב אֹתָ֔הּ וּבָנָ֥ה עָלֶ֖יהָ מְצוֹדִ֥ים גְּדֹלִֽים׃

there was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it;

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

negation

no

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

גּוּף בַּר נְשָׁא דִּמְתִיל לְקַרְתָּא זְעֵירְתָּא וְגִבָּרִין גַבְרֵי חֵילָא זְעֵיר בְּגַוַּהּ הֵיכְמָא דְּקַלִּילִין זְכוּתֵיהּ בְּגוֹ לִבָּא דֶּאֱנָשָׁא וְיֵעוּל לְוַת גּוּפָא יִצְרָא בִּישָׁא דִּמְתִיל לְמֶלֶךְ רַב וְתַקִּיף לְאִתְכַּנְעָא וְאַסְחַר יָתֵיה לְמִטְעֵי יָתֵיהּ וּבְנָא עֲלוֹהִי אֲתַר לְמֵיתַב עַל דִי יִצְבֵי לְאַסְטָיוּתֵיהּ מִן אוֹרְחָן דְּתָקְנָן קֳדָם יְיָ לְאַחָדָא יָתֵיהּ בִּמְצוֹדִין רַבְרְבִין דְּגֵיהִנָּם לְאַדְלָקוּתֵיהּ שְׁבַע זִמְנִין עַל חוֹבוֹהִי:

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