Isaiah 58:5 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ

Who acts: I, man, thou · What happens: be, choose, afflict, bow down, spread, call · To what, where: such fast, soul, fast, sackcloth, this · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Isaiah 58:5 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 — I, man, thou — and what happens in the verse to such fast, soul, fast, sackcloth, this, 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.

הֲכָזֶ֗ה יִֽהְיֶה֙ צ֣וֹם אֶבְחָרֵ֔הוּ י֛וֹם עַנּ֥וֹת אָדָ֖ם נַפְשׁ֑וֹ הֲלָכֹ֨ף כְּאַגְמֹ֜ן רֹאשׁ֗וֹ וְשַׂ֤ק וָאֵ֙פֶר֙ יַצִּ֔יעַ הֲלָזֶה֙ תִּקְרָא־צ֔וֹם וְי֥וֹם רָצ֖וֹן לַיהוָֽה׃

Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to 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

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

הַהָדָא הוּא תַּעֲנִיתָא דְרָעִינָא בָהּ יוֹמָא דִמְסַגֵף אֱנָשָׁא נַפְשֵׁהּ כָּפֵיף רֵישֵׁה כְאַגְמוֹן כָּפֵיף וְעַל סַקָא וְקִיטְמָא בָּאֵית הַלְדָא אַתּוּן קְרַן תַּעֲנִית וְיוֹמָא דְרַעֲוָא בֵיהּ 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. Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul?
2. Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
3. Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
