Mark 4 : 5

EN Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

ES Y otra parte cayó en pedregales, donde no tenía mucha tierra; y luego salió, porque no tenía la tierra profunda:

ZH-HANS 有落在土浅石头地上的,土既不深,发苗最快,

ZH-HANT 有落在土淺石頭地上的,土既不深,發苗最快,

omission Greek NT only
Greek NT καὶ

The Greek opens with a coordinating καί ('and') before the adversative δέ, a typical Markan paratactic feature. Neither the Peshitta nor the Vulgate render this initial conjunction, beginning instead directly with the subject 'another'.

Greek NT τὸ πετρῶδες
Peshitta ܫܘܥܐ
Vulgate petrosa

Greek τὸ πετρῶδες is a substantivised neuter adjective ('the rocky ground') with the article; the Vulgate petrosa is a neuter plural adjective used absolutely, while the Peshitta ܫܘܥܐ is a concrete noun meaning 'rock/bedrock', shifting from a generalising abstraction to a tangible referent.

omission Greek NT only
Greek NT καὶ

The Greek καί linking 'the rocky ground' to the relative 'where' is not separately represented in the Syriac or Latin, which subordinate the clause directly with ܐܝܟܐ / ubi without a preceding conjunction.

Greek NT οὐκ εἶχεν
Peshitta ܕܠܝܬ
Vulgate non habuit

Greek uses a negated finite imperfect οὐκ εἶχεν ('it did not have') and Latin matches with non habuit; the Peshitta compresses this into the negated existential particle ܕܠܝܬ ('where there was not'), a characteristic Syriac existential construction rather than a possessive verb.

punctuation Vulgate only
Vulgate et

The Clementine Vulgate inserts a colon here, marking a rhetorical pause between the first and second halves of the clause; no equivalent punctuation token exists in the Greek or Syriac witnesses.

Greek NT εὐθὺς
Peshitta ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ
Vulgate exortum

Greek εὐθύς and Latin statim are single adverbs ('immediately'); the Peshitta employs the idiomatic phrase ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ('and in the same hour/moment'), a periphrastic Semitic temporal expression conveying the same immediacy.

Greek NT ἐξανέτειλεν
Peshitta ܒܠܨ
Vulgate est quoniam

Greek ἐξανέτειλεν ('it sprang up') and Latin exortum est both denote sprouting/rising; the Peshitta ܒܠܨ (root b-l-ts, 'it sprouted/budded forth') is a cognate-distinct lexeme conveying germination, semantically equivalent but drawn from a different verbal stock.

Greek NT διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν
Peshitta ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ
Vulgate non habebat altitudinem

Greek uses an articular infinitive of cause διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ('because of the not-having'); the Vulgate renders this with a causal conjunction plus finite verb quoniam non habebat, and the Peshitta with ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ('because there was not'), each substituting a finite or existential causal clause for the Greek nominalised infinitive.

punctuation Vulgate only

The Vulgate closes the verse with a colon, signalling continuation into the following clause; this editorial pointing has no counterpart in the Greek (which ends with a full stop after γῆς) or in the unpunctuated Syriac.
