Lamentations 1:4 אֵיכָה

Who acts: ways, none, gates, priests, city · What happens: mourn, come, be, sigh, afflict · To what, where: solemn assembly, virgins, bitterness

This is Lamentations 1:4 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 — ways, none, gates, priests, city — and what happens in the verse to solemn assembly, virgins, bitterness, 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.

דַּרְכֵ֨י צִיּ֜וֹן אֲבֵל֗וֹת מִבְּלִי֙ בָּאֵ֣י מוֹעֵ֔ד כָּל־שְׁעָרֶ֙יהָ֙ שֽׁוֹמֵמִ֔ין כֹּהֲנֶ֖יהָ נֶאֱנָחִ֑ים בְּתוּלֹתֶ֥יהָ נּוּג֖וֹתוְהִ֥יא מַר־לָֽהּ׃ס

The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.

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.

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

כָּל זְמַן דַהֲוָה יְרוּשְׁלֵם מִתְבַּנְיָא סְרִיבוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמִיסַק לִירוּשְׁלֵם לְאִתְחֲזָאָה קֳדָם יְיָ תְּלַת זִמְנִין בְּשַׁתָּא וְעַל חוֹבֵיהוֹן דְיִשְׂרָאֵל אִיצְטְדִיאַת יְרוּשְׁלֵם וְאִתְעֲבִידוּ שְׁבִילֵי צִיּוֹן אֲבֵילָן מִדְלֵית עָאֵיל בָּהּ בִּזְמַן מוֹעֲדַיָּא כָל תַּרְעָהָא צַדְיָין וְכַהֲנָהָא אָנְחִין עַל דִּי בְטִילוּ קוּרְבְּנַיָּא בְּתוּלְתָהָא סַפְדָן עַל דִּי פָּסְקוּ לְמֵיפַּק בְחַמְשָׁא עֲשַׂר יוֹמִין בְּאָב וּבְיוֹמָא דְכִפּוּרַיָּא דִּי הוּא בְעַסְרָא יוֹמִין בְּתִשְׁרֵי לְחִינְגָא בְּחִינוּגִין אַף אִיהִי מְרִיר לִבָּא לַחֲדָא:

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