Greek NT καὶ
Vulgate Et

Greek opens with καί and Latin with Et, both coordinating this clause to the preceding discourse; the Peshitta omits the initial conjunction, beginning directly with the temporal adverb ܗܝܕܝܢ ('then'), a common Syriac stylistic preference for asyndetic openings.

Greek NT τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ
Peshitta ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ
Vulgate angelos suos

Greek expresses the object with article + noun + genitive pronoun (τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ) and Latin with noun + possessive (angelos suos); Syriac fuses these into a single inflected form ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ('his angels'), with the possessive suffix attached directly to the noun — semantically identical but morphologically synthetic.

Greek NT τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ
Peshitta ܠܓܒܘܗܝ
Vulgate electos suos

The chosen object 'his elect' is rendered analytically in Greek (article + adjective + pronoun) and Latin (electos suos), but synthetically in Syriac as ܠܓܒܘܗܝ, where the direct-object marker ܠ, the substantivised participle 'chosen ones', and the third-person suffix are all combined into one word.

Greek NT τῶν τεσσάρων
Peshitta ܐܪܒܥܬܝܗܝܢ
Vulgate quatuor

Greek and Latin express 'four' as a separate cardinal modifying 'winds' (τῶν τεσσάρων / quatuor); Syriac uses the gendered numeral with pronominal suffix ܐܪܒܥܬܝܗܝܢ ('the four of them'), agreeing with the feminine plural 'winds', a typically Syriac construct of an enumerated, bounded set.

Greek NT ἀπ᾽ (ap᾽) ἄκρου
Peshitta ܡܢ ܪܫܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ
Vulgate a summo terræ

Greek ἀπ᾽ ἄκρου γῆς ('from [the] end of earth') and Latin a summo terræ ('from the highest/top of the earth') both employ a term for 'extremity'; Syriac uses ܪܫܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ('the head/top of the earth'), the Semitic idiom rendering geographic extremity by the body-metaphor 'head', also reflected in the Latin choice of summo over a literal 'edge'.

Greek NT γῆς ἕως (he'ōs)
Peshitta ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܪܫܗ ܕܫܡܝܐ
Vulgate usque ad summum cæli

Greek ἕως ἄκρου οὐρανοῦ ('to [the] end of heaven') and Latin usque ad summum cæli parallel the prior phrase with 'extremity/top'; Syriac again uses ܠܪܫܗ ܕܫܡܝܐ ('to the head of heaven'), maintaining the consistent Semitic body-metaphor idiom for the limits of the cosmos.
