Lamentations 2:9 אֵיכָה

Who acts: Lord, king, instruction, prophets · What happens: sink, destroy, break, be, not be, find · To what, where: gates, ground, bars, vision

This is Lamentations 2:9 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 — Lord, king, instruction, prophets — and what happens in the verse to gates, ground, bars, vision, 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.

טָבְע֤וּ בָאָ֙רֶץ֙ שְׁעָרֶ֔יהָ אִבַּ֥ד וְשִׁבַּ֖ר בְּרִיחֶ֑יהָ מַלְכָּ֨הּ וְשָׂרֶ֤יהָ בַגּוֹיִם֙ אֵ֣ין תּוֹרָ֔ה גַּם־נְבִיאֶ֕יהָ לֹא־מָצְא֥וּ חָז֖וֹן מֵיְהוָֽה׃ס

Her gates are sunk into the ground; He hath destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes are among the nations, instruction is no more; yea, her prophets find no vision from 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.

Pragmatics

voice

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

טָמְעוּ בְּאַרְעָא תַרְעָהָא (עַל דִּי נְכַסּוּ חֲזִירָא וְאוֹבִילוּ מִן דְמֵיהּ עִלַּוֵיהוֹן) הוֹבִיד וּתְבַר מְזוּזָתָהָא מַלְכָּהָא וְרַבְרְבָנָהָא גָלוּ בֵינֵי עַמְמַיָּא עַל דְלָא נָטְרוּ פִתְגָּמֵי אוֹרַיְיתָא כְּאִלּוּ לָא קַבִּילוּ יָתָהּ בְּטוּרָא דְסִינַי אַף נְבִיאָהָא אִתְמְנַע מִנְהוֹן רוּחַ נְבוּאַת קוּדְשָׁא וְלָא אִתְאַמַּר לְהוֹן פִּתְגַּם נְבוּאֲתָא מִן קֳדָם יְיָ:

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. Her gates are sunk into the ground; He hath destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes are among the nations, instruction is no more; yea, her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
