Lamentations 1:19 אֵיכָה

Who acts: I, virgins, priests · What happens: call, deceive, perish, seek, refresh · To what, where: me, city, food, priests, souls · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Lamentations 1:19 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, virgins, priests — and what happens in the verse to me, city, food, priests, souls, 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 5 chapters of Lamentations on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

קָרָ֤אתִי לַֽמְאַהֲבַי֙ הֵ֣מָּה רִמּ֔וּנִי כֹּהֲנַ֥י וּזְקֵנַ֖י בָּעִ֣יר גָּוָ֑עוּ כִּֽי־בִקְשׁ֥וּ אֹ֙כֶל֙ לָ֔מוֹ וְיָשִׁ֖יבוּ אֶת־נַפְשָֽׁם׃ס

I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and mine elders perished in the city, while they sought them food to refresh their souls.

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

אֲמָרַת יְרוּשְׁלֵם כַּד אִיתְמַסְרַת בִּידוֹי דִנְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר קָרִית לִמְרַחְמַי בֵּינֵי עַמְמַיָּא דְקַיֵּימִית עִמְהוֹן קְיָים דִּי יְסַיְיעוּנִי וְאִנּוּן חֲכִּימוּ מִינִי וְאִתְהַפְּכוּ לְחַבָּלָא יָתִי הִינוּן דְעָלוּ עִם טִיטוֹס וְאַסְפַּסְיָינוֹס וּבְנוֹ כַרְכּוֹמִין עַל יְרוּשְׁלֵם כַּהֲנַי וְסָבַי בְּגוֹ קַרְתָּא אִתְנְגִידוּ אֲרוּם תְּבָעוּ סָעִיד לַחְמָא לְהוֹן לְמֵיכַל וִיקַיְימִין יָת נַפְשֵׁיהוֹן:

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. I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and mine elders perished in the city, while they sought them food to refresh their souls.
