Mark 13 : 19

EN For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

ES Porque aquellos días serán de aflicción, cual nunca fué desde el principio de la creación que crió Dios, hasta este tiempo, ni será.

ZH-HANS 因为在那些日子必有灾难,自从 神创造万物直到如今,并没有这样的灾难,后来也必没有。

ZH-HANT 因為在那些日子必有災難,自從上帝創造萬物直到如今,並沒有這樣的災難,後來也必沒有。

Greek NT αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι
Peshitta ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ
Vulgate dies illi

Greek and Latin both supply the feminine plural article/demonstrative explicitly (αἱ ... ἐκεῖναι / dies illi), while Syriac fuses the preposition into ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ('in [those] days') and marks the demonstrative with the following ܗܢܘܢ; the prepositional locative is implicit in the Greek nominative subject construction.

Greek NT θλῖψις
Peshitta ܐܘܠܨܢܐ
Vulgate tribulationes

Greek θλῖψις and Syriac ܐܘܠܨܢܐ are singular ('tribulation'), whereas the Vulgate pluralises to tribulationes ('tribulations'), a Latin stylistic intensification of the eschatological distress.

Greek NT οἵα
Vulgate quales

Greek οἵα and Latin quales introduce a correlative relative clause ('such as'); Syriac instead opens an asyndetic relative with ܕܠܐ ('that not'), folding the comparison into the negation rather than a discrete correlative pronoun.

Greek NT γέγονεν
Peshitta ܗܘܐ
Vulgate fuerunt

Greek uses the perfect γέγονεν ('has been') stressing resultant state, the Vulgate the perfect fuerunt, and the Syriac the simple perfect ܗܘܐ; the verbs agree semantically but differ in aspectual nuance and (Latin) number with the plural subject tribulationes.

Greek NT τοιαύτη
Peshitta ܐܟܘܬܗ
Vulgate tales

Greek τοιαύτη ('the like') stands after the verb as a resumptive demonstrative; Latin places tales before quales as the antecedent of the correlative; Syriac renders the comparison with the pronominal suffix on ܐܟܘܬܗ ('its like'), all expressing 'nothing of its kind'.

Greek NT κτίσεως ἣν ἔκτισεν ὁ
Peshitta ܕܒܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ
Vulgate quam condidit Deus

Greek and Latin form an explicit relative clause with object pronoun (ἣν ἔκτισεν ὁ θεός / quam condidit Deus, 'which God created'); Syriac compresses this into ܕܒܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ('that God created'), a single relative particle prefixed to the verb without a separate accusative pronoun.

construction Greek NT only
Greek NT τοῦ

Greek coordinates with καὶ before the negation (καὶ οὐ μὴ γένηται), whereas both Syriac (ܘܠܐ, fused conjunction-plus-negative) and Latin (neque, a single negative coordinator) absorb the conjunction into the negative particle, leaving no discrete equivalent for καὶ.

Greek NT νῦν καὶ οὐ
Peshitta ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ
Vulgate neque fient

Greek employs the emphatic double negative οὐ μὴ with aorist subjunctive γένηται ('shall by no means happen'), expressing strong future denial; the Vulgate flattens this to a simple future neque fient and the Syriac to ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ('and shall not be'), both losing the intensive force of the Greek prohibition-type construction.
