EN No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
ES Nadie echa remiendo de paño recio en vestido viejo; de otra manera el mismo remiendo nuevo tira del viejo, y la rotura se hace peor.

The Greek opens with paratactic καί ('and'), characteristic of Markan style; both the Vulgate (Nemo) and Peshitta (ܠܐ ܐܢܫ) drop the introductory conjunction, beginning the sentence directly with the negated subject.
Greek ῥάκους ('of cloth/rag') and Latin panni are explicit genitive nouns specifying the material of the patch; the Peshitta has no separate token for the cloth, collapsing the phrase into the single noun ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ with its attributive adjective.
Greek ἀγνάφου and Latin rudis both mean 'unshrunk/undressed' (technical of new fabric that will shrink); the Peshitta instead reads ܚܕܬܐ ('new'), a semantic generalisation that loses the specific point about shrinkage which drives the parable's logic.
Greek ἐπιράπτει and Latin assuit are single finite verbs ('sews on'); the Peshitta employs a coordinated construction ܘܚܐܛ ('and sews'), reflecting Syriac preference for paratactic verb chaining.
Greek ἐπί and Peshitta ܥܠ ('on/upon') are explicit prepositions governing the garment; the Vulgate omits the preposition, instead using the bare dative vestimento veteri to express the same relation.
The Vulgate inserts a colon marking the protasis/apodosis boundary, corresponding to the Greek high point after παλαιόν·; the Peshitta has no punctuation token at this juncture.
Greek εἰ δὲ μή ('but if not') is an elliptical conditional formula rendered idiomatically by the single Latin adverb alioquin ('otherwise'); the Peshitta carries this notion within its relative clause (see ܕܠܐ below) rather than as a discrete phrase.
Greek αἴρει and Latin aufert are simple present indicatives ('takes away'); the Peshitta restructures with a relative-negative clause ܕܠܐ ܢܣܒܐ ('lest it take/pull'), absorbing the conditional 'otherwise' force and using the verb ܢܣܒ ('take') in place of αἴρω.
Greek τὸ πλήρωμα ('the fulness/filling-piece') and Latin supplementum denote the patch as 'that which fills'; the Peshitta ܡܠܝܘܬܗ (from root m-l-y, 'fulness') with the third-singular suffix ('its fulness') captures the same image while grammatically binding the patch to the garment.
Greek ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ('from it') is a prepositional phrase with explicit pronoun, matched by Latin a [veteri]; the Peshitta does not render a separate 'from it', having already attached the possessive suffix to ܡܠܝܘܬܗ.
Greek τὸ καινόν ('the new [piece]') is a substantivised neuter adjective; Latin novum agrees with supplementum; the Peshitta ܗܝ ܚܕܬܐ uses the feminine demonstrative plus feminine adjective agreeing with the feminine noun ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ, a gender shift driven by the underlying Syriac lexeme.
Greek τοῦ παλαιοῦ is an ablatival/separative genitive ('of/from the old'); Latin makes the separation explicit with a veteri, and the Peshitta likewise with ܡܢ ܒܠܝܐ ('from the old'), each tradition unpacking the bare Greek genitive differently.
Greek χεῖρον ('worse') is the comparative of κακός and is matched semantically by Latin major ('greater'); the Peshitta ܝܬܝܪܐ ('more/greater') likewise expresses degree rather than the negative qualitative 'worse', a mild softening shared with the Vulgate.
Greek γίνεται and Latin fit ('becomes/comes to be') stand at the clause end; the Peshitta places its verb ܘܗܘܐ ('and there comes to be') before the noun ܣܕܩܐ, a word-order inversion typical of Syriac verb-initial clauses.
