Greek fronts the article + name (ὁ ... Ἰησοῦς) framing the postpositive δέ, and Syriac mirrors this with ܗܘ ... ܝܫܘܥ; the Vulgate dispenses with any article and presents only the proper name Jesus, since Latin lacks the definite article.
EN But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
ES Mas Jesús dijo: Dejadla; ¿por qué la fatigáis? buena obra me ha hecho;
ZH-HANS 耶稣说:「由她吧!为什么难为她呢?她在我身上做的是一件美事。

The Clementine Vulgate inserts a colon to mark the onset of direct speech after dixit, a punctuation choice absent from the unpointed Syriac and represented in Greek only by the editorial raised dot attached to εἶπεν·.
Greek and Latin express the object pronoun separately (αὐτήν / eam), whereas Syriac fuses it as the enclitic object suffix on the imperative ܫܘܒܩܘܗ ('let-her-be'), a normal Syriac morphological economy.
Greek uses the idiom κόπους παρέχειν ('to cause troubles,' lit. furnishing labours), Latin renders it adjectivally with molesti estis ('you are troublesome'), and Syriac employs the verb ܡܗܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ('you are vexing/harming her'); the three are functionally equivalent but each uses a distinct construction.
Greek and Latin order adjective before noun (καλὸν ἔργον / Bonum opus), while Syriac follows its normal noun-adjective sequence ܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ('a deed beautiful'); a purely stylistic word-order difference.
The single Greek middle aorist ἠργάσατο and the single Syriac perfect ܥܒܕܬ are both rendered in Latin by the analytic deponent perfect operata est (participle + auxiliary), reflecting Latin's lack of a synthetic deponent perfect.
Greek ἐν ἐμοί and Latin in me use a preposition plus dative/ablative pronoun, whereas Syriac compresses the phrase into the single prepositional form ܠܘܬܝ ('toward me / unto me'), built on the root l-w-th with the first-person suffix.
The Vulgate closes the clause with a terminal colon anticipating the continuation in v.7; this editorial pointing has no counterpart in the Syriac and corresponds only to the sentence-final period attached to ἐμοί. in the Greek.
