2 Samuel 19:38 שְׁמוּאֵל ב

Who acts: you, I, servant, Chimham · What happens: let, pray, turn back, die, behold, go over · To what, where: thee, servant, Chimham, king

This is 2 Samuel 19:38 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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, servant, Chimham — and what happens in the verse to thee, servant, Chimham, king, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan 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 24 chapters of 2 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

יָֽשָׁב־נָ֤א עַבְדְּךָ֙ וְאָמֻ֣ת בְּעִירִ֔י עִ֛ם קֶ֥בֶר אָבִ֖י וְאִמִּ֑י וְהִנֵּ֣ה ׀ עַבְדְּךָ֣ כִמְהָ֗ם יַֽעֲבֹר֙ עִם־אֲדֹנִ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַעֲשֵׂה־ל֕וֹ אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־ט֖וֹב בְּעֵינֶֽיךָ׃ס

Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.'

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.

Targum Jonathan

יְתִיב כְּעַן עַבְדָךְ וְאֵמוּת בְּקַרְתִּי וְאִתְקְבַר בְּקִבְרָא דְאַבָּא וּדְאִמָא וְהָא עַבְדָךְ כִּמְהָם יֶעְבַּר עִם רִבּוֹנִי מַלְכָּא וֶעֱבֵיד לֵיהּ יַת דְתַקִין בְּעֵינָךְ:

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. Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother.
2. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.'
