Mark 12 : 25

EN For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

ES Porque cuando resucitarán de los muertos, ni se casarán, ni serán dados en casamiento, mas son como los ángeles que están en los cielos.

ZH-HANS 人从死里复活，也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一样。

ZH-HANT 人從死裏復活，也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一樣。

Greek NT ἀναστῶσιν
Peshitta ܕܩܡܘ
Vulgate resurrexerint

All three render the aorist/perfect 'they rise from the dead'; the Syriac places the verb ܕܩܡܘ before the prepositional phrase ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ, inverting the Greek and Latin order in which the verb (ἀναστῶσιν / resurrexerint) follows 'from the dead'. The divergence is purely sequential.

Greek NT γαμοῦσιν
Peshitta ܢܣܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ
Vulgate nubent

Greek γαμοῦσιν and Latin nubent express 'they marry' with a single verb; the Peshitta uses the periphrastic idiom ܢܣܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ('they take women/wives'), an explicit object construction characteristic of Syriac, which makes the male subject of the active clause overt.

Greek NT οὔτε
Peshitta ܐܦ ܠܐ
Vulgate neque

Where Greek and Latin repeat a single negative conjunction (οὔτε / neque), the Peshitta employs the compound ܐܦ ܠܐ ('and not, neither'), a normal Syriac coordinating negation rather than a substantive difference in sense.

Greek NT γαμίζονται
Peshitta ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ
Vulgate nubentur

Greek γαμίζονται and Latin nubentur use a single passive verb 'are given in marriage'; the Peshitta paraphrases with ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ('women become [given] to men'), shifting to a feminine subject and supplying explicit nouns, an idiomatic Syriac expansion that clarifies the implicit gender contrast of the Greek active/passive pair.

Greek NT οἱ ἐν τοῖς
Peshitta ܕܒܫܡܝܐ
Vulgate in cælis

Greek uses an articular attributive phrase οἱ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ('the [ones] in the heavens') with the plural οὐρανοῖς; Latin renders a bare prepositional phrase in cælis, while the Peshitta compresses the whole into a single relative form ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ('who/that are in heaven'). The Greek article οἱ has no separate equivalent in Latin or Syriac, and the heaven-noun is plural in Greek/Latin but morphologically singular-collective in Syriac.
