Isaiah 5:20 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ

Who acts: Woe · What happens: call, change · To what, where: darkness, light, sweet · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Isaiah 5:20 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 — Woe — and what happens in the verse to darkness, light, sweet, 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 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

ה֣וֹי הָאֹמְרִ֥ים לָרַ֛ע ט֖וֹב וְלַטּ֣וֹב רָ֑ע שָׂמִ֨ים חֹ֤שֶׁךְ לְאוֹר֙ וְא֣וֹר לְחֹ֔שֶׁךְ שָׂמִ֥ים מַ֛ר לְמָת֖וֹק וּמָת֥וֹק לְמָֽר׃ס

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!

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

וַי דְאָמְרִין לְרַשִׁיעַיָא דְמַצְלְחִין בְּעַלְמָא הָדֵין אַתּוּן טָבַיָא וּלְעִנְוְתָנַיָא אָמְרִין אַתּוּן רַשִׁיעַיָא הֲלָא בְּמֵיתֵי נְהוֹרָא לְצַדִיקַיָא יַחֲשׁוֹךְ לְרַשִׁיעַיָא וִיבַסְמוּן פִּתְגָמֵי אוֹרַיְתָא לְעָבְדֵיהוֹן וְיֵיתֵי מֵרְדָא לְרַשִׁיעַיָא וְיֵדְעוּן דִבְסוֹפָא מְרִיר חֶטְאָה לֶעָבְדֵיהּ:

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. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!
