Mark 2 : 27

EN He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

ES También les dijo: El sábado por causa del hombre es hecho; no el hombre por causa del sábado.

ZH-HANS 又对他们说:「安息日是为人设立的,人不是为安息日设立的。

ZH-HANT 又對他們說:「安息日是為人設立的,人不是為安息日設立的。

Greek NT ἔλεγεν
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ
Vulgate dicebat

Greek ἔλεγεν and Latin dicebat are both imperfect, conveying durative or repeated speech ('he was saying'); the Syriac ܘܐܡܪ is a simple perfect ('and he said') fused with the conjunction, lacking the iterative nuance of the Greek imperfect.

Greek NT αὐτοῖς·
Peshitta ܠܗܘܢ
Vulgate eis Sabbatum

The Vulgate separates the dative pronoun eis from the colon punctuation marking direct discourse; the Greek encodes the discourse boundary in the raised dot of αὐτοῖς·, while the Peshitta ܠܗܘܢ carries no such marker.

Greek NT τὸ σάββατον
Peshitta ܕܫܒܬܐ
Vulgate propter

Greek articulates the subject (τὸ σάββατον) with the neuter article, and Syriac prefixes the relative/quotative particle ܕ to ܫܒܬܐ; Latin Sabbatum is anarthrous, as Latin lacks the definite article entirely.

Greek NT τὸν ἄνθρωπον
Peshitta ܒܪܢܫܐ
Vulgate factum

Greek marks the accusative object with article plus noun (τὸν ἄνθρωπον); Syriac uses the compound noun ܒܪܢܫܐ ('son of man' = mankind), the standard Syriac lexeme for the human race; Latin hominem stands anarthrous in the accusative.

Greek NT ἐγένετο
Peshitta ܐܬܒܪܝܬ
Vulgate est et

Greek ἐγένετο ('came to be') from γίνομαι is a general verb of becoming, rendered by Latin periphrastic perfect passive factum est ('was made'); the Syriac ܐܬܒܪܝܬ employs the Ethpe'el of b-r-y ('was created'), a stronger and more theologically loaded creation verb echoing Genesis (cf. בָּרָא).

Greek NT οὐχ
Peshitta ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ
Vulgate homo

Greek negates with the single particle οὐχ and Latin with non; the Syriac splits the negation across ܘܠܐ ('and not') plus the copula ܗܘܐ, supplying an explicit verb of being that the elliptical Greek and Latin clauses leave unexpressed.

Greek NT ὁ ἄνθρωπος
Peshitta ܒܪܢܫܐ
Vulgate propter

Greek again articulates the subject (ὁ ἄνθρωπος); Syriac repeats ܒܪܢܫܐ, the collective term for humankind; Latin homo remains without an article per Latin morphology.

Greek NT τὸ σάββατον
Peshitta ܫܒܬܐ

Greek closes with article plus noun (τὸ σάββατον) in the accusative governed by διά; Syriac ܫܒܬܐ and Latin sabbatum are anarthrous, matching their earlier renderings of the term.
