Greek NT ἐπετίμησεν

Peshitta ܒܗܘܢ

Vulgate comminatus est

Greek ἐπετίμησεν (aorist active indicative of ἐπιτιμάω, 'he rebuked/warned') corresponds to Vulgate comminatus est (perfect deponent of comminor, 'he threatened'), a stronger lexical choice. Syriac ܘܟܐܐ employs a cognate of the Greek root, maintaining the semantic range of stern warning or rebuke.

Greek NT αὐτοῖς ἵνα

Peshitta ܒܗܘܢ

Vulgate eis

Greek uses dative pronoun αὐτοῖς followed by purpose clause ἵνα; Vulgate mirrors this with dative eis followed by ne-clause; Syriac incorporates the pronominal suffix directly on the verb ܒܗܘܢ ('in/against them'), a typical Semitic construction that conflates the indirect object with the verb, eliminating the need for a separate conjunction before the negative command.

Greek NT μηδενὶ

Peshitta ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ

Vulgate ne cui

Greek μηδενὶ (dative singular 'to no one') is a single negative indefinite pronoun; Vulgate ne cui splits the negation (ne) from the indefinite (cui); Syriac ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ employs double negation (ܕ- relative particle + ܠܐܢܫ 'to anyone' + ܠܐ negative particle), a Semitic idiom for emphatic prohibition that is semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.
