Ruth 1:12 רוּת

Who acts: you, I · What happens: turn back, go, be, have, say, bear · To what, where: way, husband, hope, sons · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ruth 1:12 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, I — and what happens in the verse to way, husband, hope, sons, 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 4 chapters of Ruth on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

שֹׁ֤בְנָה בְנֹתַי֙ לֵ֔כְןָ כִּ֥י זָקַ֖נְתִּי מִהְי֣וֹת לְאִ֑ישׁ כִּ֤י אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ יֶשׁ־לִ֣י תִקְוָ֔ה גַּ֣ם הָיִ֤יתִי הַלַּ֙יְלָה֙ לְאִ֔ישׁ וְגַ֖ם יָלַ֥דְתִּי בָנִֽים׃

Turn back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say: I have hope, should I even have an husband to-night, and also bear sons;

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

תּוּבְנָא בְרַתַּי מִבַּתְרַי אִזֵילְנָא לְעַמְּכוֹן אֲרֵי סָבִית מִלְּמֶהֱוֵי מִבְעְלָא לִגְבַר אֲרוּם אֲמָרִית אִלּוּ אֲנָא רִיבָא אִית לִי סְבַר בְּרַם הֲוֵיתִי מִבַּעְלָא בְּלֵלְיָא לִגְבַר וּבְרַם הֲוֵיתִי יָלְדָא בְנִין:

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. Turn back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband.
2. If I should say: I have hope, should I even have an husband to-night, and also bear sons;
