Lamentations 2:20 אֵיכָה

Who acts: you, Thou, women · What happens: see, consider, do, eat, dandle, slay · To what, where: fruit, children, hands, priest, sanctuary

This is Lamentations 2:20 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, Thou, women — and what happens in the verse to fruit, children, hands, priest, sanctuary, 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.

רְאֵ֤ה יְהוָה֙ וְֽהַבִּ֔יטָה לְמִ֖י עוֹלַ֣לְתָּ כֹּ֑ה אִם־תֹּאכַ֨לְנָה נָשִׁ֤ים פִּרְיָם֙ עֹלֲלֵ֣י טִפֻּחִ֔ים אִם־יֵהָרֵ֛ג בְּמִקְדַּ֥שׁ אֲדֹנָ֖י כֹּהֵ֥ן וְנָבִֽיא׃ס

'See, O LORD, and consider, to whom Thou hast done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

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

חֲזֵי יְיָ וּתְהֵי מִסְתַּכֵּל מִן שְׁמַיָּא לְמַן אִיסְתַּקִיפְתָּא כִּדְנַן אִם חֲזֵי לִבְנָתָא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְמֵיכַל פֵּירֵי בִטְנֵיהוֹן עוּלְמַיָּא רְגִיגְתָא דַהֲווּ מְלַפְפִין בִּסְדִינִין דְמֵלָתֵיהּ עֲנַת מִדַּת דִינָא וְכֵן אֲמָרַת אִם חֲזֵי לְמִקְטַל בְּבֵית מוּקְדְּשָׁא דַייָ כַּהֲנָא וּנְבִיָּא כְּמָה דִקְטַלְתּוּן יָת זְכַרְיָה בַּר עִידּוֹ כַּהֲנָא רַבָּא וּנְבִיָּא מְהֵימָן בְּבֵית מוּקְדְשָׁא דַייָ בְּיוֹמָא דְכִפּוּרַיָּא עַל דְאוֹכַח יַתְכוֹן דְלָא תַעַבְדוּן דְבִישׁ קֳדַם יְיָ:

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