Deuteronomy 12:30 דְּבָרִים

Who acts: you, thou, nations, I · What happens: take, not ensnare, follow, destroy, not inquire, say · To what, where: heed, thou, nations, thee, gods · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Deuteronomy 12:30 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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, thou, nations, I — and what happens in the verse to heed, thou, nations, thee, gods, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Onkelos 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 34 chapters of Deuteronomy on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

הִשָּׁ֣מֶר לְךָ֗ פֶּן־תִּנָּקֵשׁ֙ אַחֲרֵיהֶ֔ם אַחֲרֵ֖י הִשָּׁמְדָ֣ם מִפָּנֶ֑יךָ וּפֶן־תִּדְרֹ֨שׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶ֜ם לֵאמֹ֨ר אֵיכָ֨ה יַעַבְד֜וּ הַגּוֹיִ֤ם הָאֵ֙לֶּה֙ אֶת־אֱלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם וְאֶעֱשֶׂה־כֵּ֖ן גַּם־אָֽנִי׃

take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying: 'How used these nations to serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.'

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 Onkelos

אִסְתַּמַר לָךְ דִילְמָא תִתָּקַל בַּתְרֵיהוֹן בָּתַר דְיִשְׁתֵּצוּן מִקֳדָמָךְ וְדִילְמָא תִתְבַּע לְטַעֲוָתְהוֹן לְמֵימַר אֶכְדֵין פָּלְחִין עַמְמַיָא הָאִלֵין יָת טַעֲוָתְהוֹן וְאֶעְבֵּד כֵּן אַף אֲנָא

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