Jonah 4:2 יוֹנָה

Who acts: Jonah, I, this · What happens: pray, say, not be, be, flee, know · To what, where: Thee, saying, own country, gracious God, mercy · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Jonah 4:2 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 — Jonah, I, this — and what happens in the verse to Thee, saying, own country, gracious God, mercy, 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 4 chapters of Jonah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיִּתְפַּלֵּ֨ל אֶל־יְהוָ֜ה וַיֹּאמַ֗ר אָנָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ הֲלוֹא־זֶ֣ה דְבָרִ֗י עַד־הֱיוֹתִי֙ עַל־אַדְמָתִ֔י עַל־כֵּ֥ן קִדַּ֖מְתִּי לִבְרֹ֣חַ תַּרְשִׁ֑ישָׁה כִּ֣י יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּ֤י אַתָּה֙ אֵֽל־חַנּ֣וּן וְרַח֔וּם אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֙יִם֙ וְרַב־חֶ֔סֶד וְנִחָ֖ם עַל־הָרָעָֽה׃

And he prayed unto the LORD, and said: 'I pray Thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in mine own country? Therefore I fled beforehand unto Tarshish; for I knew that Thou art a gracious God, and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repentest Thee of the evil.

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.

Targum Jonathan

וְצַלֵי קֳדָם יְיָ וַאֲמַר קַבֵּיל בָּעוּתִי יְיָ הֲלָא דֵין פִּתְגָמִי עַד דַהֲוֵיתִי עַל דַהֲוֵיתִי עַל אַרְעִי עַל כֵּן אוֹחֵיתִי לְמֶעְרַק לְיַמָא אֲרֵי יְדַעְנָא אֲרֵי אַתְּ אֱלָהָא חֲנָנָא וְרַחֲמָנָא מַרְחֵיק רְגַז וּמַסְגֵי לְמֶעְבַּד טַבְוָן וּמְתִיב מֵימְרֵיהּ מִלְאַיְתָאָה בִּישְׁתָא:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

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.
