Mark 3 : 26

EN If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end.

ES Y si Satanás se levantare contra sí mismo, y fuere dividido, no puede permanecer; antes tiene fin.

ZH-HANS 若撒但自相攻打纷争,他就站立不住,必要灭亡。

Greek NT εἰ
Peshitta ܘܐܢ
Vulgate si

The Greek conditional particle εἰ and Latin si correspond to the Syriac ܘܐܢ, which conflates the conjunction 'and' with the conditional 'if' in a single prefixed form; the Syriac thus carries the force of both Greek tokens 0 and 1 in one word.

Greek NT ὁ σατανᾶς
Peshitta ܗܘ ܕܣܛܢܐ
Vulgate Satanas

The Syriac employs an anticipatory pronoun ܗܘ ('he/that one') before ܕܣܛܢܐ, producing a casus pendens construction ('if it be that Satan...') idiomatic to Syriac; Greek uses a simple articular noun ὁ σατανᾶς, while Latin drops the article entirely as is normal for Latin.

Greek NT ἀνέστη
Peshitta ܩܡ
Vulgate consurrexerit

Greek ἀνέστη (second aorist indicative) and Syriac ܩܡ (perfect) both express completed past action, whereas the Vulgate consurrexerit is a future perfect subjunctive governed by si, casting the protasis as a hypothetical rather than a stated fact.

Greek NT (he'auton)
Peshitta ܘܐܬܦܠܓ
Vulgate dispertitus est

Greek ἐμερίσθη is a finite aorist passive ('was divided'); the Syriac ܘܐܬܦܠܓ likewise carries the conjunction and the Ethpaʿel passive in one word, while the Latin renders it periphrastically with participle plus copula dispertitus est, a construction-level difference expressing the same passive sense.

Greek NT ἐμερίσθη
Peshitta ܡܫܟܚ
Vulgate poterit

Greek δύναται and Syriac ܡܫܟܚ both express present capability ('he is able'), but the Vulgate poterit is future indicative, agreeing in tense-sequence with its future-perfect protasis and thus presenting the consequence as a future inability rather than a present one.

Greek NT στῆναι ἀλλὰ
Peshitta ܚܪܬܗ ܗܝ
Vulgate finem habet

Greek τέλος ἔχει ('has an end / is coming to an end') and Latin finem habet render the idiom with noun plus verb 'to have'; the Syriac instead uses ܚܪܬܗ ܗܝ, literally 'his end it is', a nominal sentence with an enclitic pronoun ('it is his end'), a Semitic copular construction rather than a transitive verb of possession.
