Greek NT ἐλθὼν

Peshitta ܢܐܬܐ

Vulgate cum venerit

Greek uses a circumstantial aorist participle (ἐλθών, 'having come'); the Vulgate renders this with a finite temporal clause (cum venerit), while the Peshitta employs a finite verb (ܢܐܬܐ, 'he may come'). All express the same temporal-conditional notion but with differing syntactic structures.

Greek NT ἐξαίφνης

Peshitta ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ

Vulgate repente

Greek and Latin use a single adverb (ἐξαίφνης / repente, 'suddenly'); the Peshitta renders the sense with a prepositional phrase ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ('from quietness/stillness'), an idiomatic Syriac construction for sudden, unexpected action.

construction All three attest

Greek NT εὕρῃ

Peshitta ܘܢܫܟܚܟܘܢ

Vulgate inveniat

Greek εὕρῃ and Latin inveniat are independent subjunctive verbs governed by the purpose particle; the Peshitta coordinates the verb with a prefixed waw (ܘܢܫܟܚܟܘܢ, 'and he may find you'), fusing the pronominal object suffix into the verb.

construction All three attest

Greek NT καθεύδοντας

Peshitta ܟܕ ܕܡܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ

Vulgate dormientes

Greek and Latin use a single present participle (καθεύδοντας / dormientes, 'sleeping'); the Peshitta expands this into a subordinate clause introduced by ܟܕ ('while') with a participle and an explicit independent pronoun (ܕܡܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ, 'while you are sleeping'), a typical Syriac periphrastic construction.
