Mark 4 : 17

EN They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

ES Mas no tienen raíz en sí, antes son temporales, que en levantándose la tribulación ó la persecución por causa de la palabra, luego se escandalizan.

ZH-HANS 但他心里没有根，不过是暂时的，及至为道遭了患难，或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了。

ZH-HANT 但他心裏沒有根，不過是暫時的，及至為道遭了患難，或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了。

Greek NT οὐκ
Peshitta ܘܠܝܬ
Vulgate non

The negation is fused into the Syriac existential particle ܘܠܝܬ ('and there is not'), which simultaneously renders the Greek conjunction καί, the negative οὐκ, and the verb ἔχουσιν; Greek and Latin keep these as discrete lexemes.

Greek NT ἔχουσιν
Peshitta ܠܗܘܢ
Vulgate habent

Greek ἔχουσιν and Latin habent are finite transitive verbs ('they have'), whereas Syriac expresses possession periphrastically with the existential particle plus the dative pronoun ܠܗܘܢ ('to them'), a standard Semitic possessive construction lacking a dedicated verb 'to have'.

Greek NT ἐν ἑαυτοῖς (he'autois)
Peshitta ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ
Vulgate in se

Greek ἐν ἑαυτοῖς and Latin in se render the reflexive 'in themselves' with preposition plus reflexive pronoun, while Syriac compresses this into the single prepositional-suffixed form ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ (literally 'in their soul[s]'), using ܢܦܫܐ as the reflexive marker per Semitic idiom.

Greek NT πρόσκαιροί
Peshitta ܕܙܒܢܐ
Vulgate temporales

Greek πρόσκαιροι ('temporary') is a single adjective, but Syriac periphrasically renders the notion with a genitive construction ܕܙܒܢܐ ('of time, transient'); Latin temporales is a direct lexical match to the Greek adjective.

Greek NT εἶτα
Peshitta ܘܡܐ
Vulgate deinde

Greek εἶτα ('then') and Latin deinde are temporal adverbs marking sequence; Syriac employs ܘܡܐ ('and when'), introducing a temporal clause rather than a discourse adverb, a construction-level reformulation.

Greek NT γενομένης
Peshitta ܕܗܘܐ
Vulgate tribulatione

Greek uses a genitive absolute γενομένης ('when [it] has arisen'); Latin matches with the ablative absolute orta; Syriac uses a finite verb ܕܗܘܐ ('that there comes to be') within the temporal clause introduced by ܘܡܐ — three distinct syntactic strategies for the same circumstantial idea.

Greek NT διωγμοῦ
Peshitta ܪܕܘܦܝܐ
Vulgate propter

Greek ἢ διωγμοῦ ('or persecution') is joined disjunctively, and Syriac ܐܘ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ preserves the disjunction, but the Vulgate reads et persecutione ('and persecution'), a conjunctive variant that may reflect a Greek Vorlage with καί or a stylistic Latin harmonisation of the coupled hardships.

Greek NT τὸν λόγον
Peshitta ܡܠܬܐ
Vulgate confestim

Greek διὰ τὸν λόγον employs the article τόν before λόγον; Latin propter verbum and Syriac ܡܛܠ ܡܠܬܐ render the phrase anarthrously, since neither Latin nor Syriac possesses a definite article corresponding to the Greek.

Greek NT σκανδαλίζονται
Peshitta ܡܬܟܫܠܝܢ

All three render 'they are caused to stumble' with the passive σκανδαλίζονται / scandalizantur / ܡܬܟܫܠܝܢ; Latin transliterates the Greek loanword scandalizo while Syriac uses the native ethpaal of k-sh-l, a purely lexical-source difference with identical sense.
