Mark 4 : 24

EN He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear.

ES Les dijo también: Mirad lo que oís: con la medida que medís, os medirán otros, y será añadido á vosotros los que oís.

ZH-HANS 又说:「你们所听的要留心。你们用什么量器量给人,也必用什么量器量给你们,并且要多给你们。

ZH-HANT 又說:「你們所聽的要留心。你們用甚麼量器量給人,也必用甚麼量器量給你們,並且要多給你們。

Greek NT ἔλεγεν
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ
Vulgate dicebat

All three render the imperfect 'he was saying'; the Greek ἔλεγεν and Latin dicebat are durative imperfects, while the Syriac ܘܐܡܪ fuses conjunction and verb in a single perfect form, a typical Syriac compression that does not distinguish imperfect aspect.

Greek NT αὐτοῖς·
Peshitta ܠܗܘܢ
Vulgate illis Videte

The Vulgate separates the colon (token 3) as a discrete punctuation mark introducing direct speech, whereas Greek attaches the raised dot to αὐτοῖς· and Syriac leaves the clause boundary unmarked; a purely orthographic divergence.

Greek NT ἀκούετε
Peshitta ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
Vulgate In

Greek ἀκούετε and Latin audiatis encode the second-person plural synthetically within the verb, whereas the Syriac uses the analytic participle ܫܡܥܝܢ plus the independent pronoun ܐܢܬܘܢ ('you hear'), a standard Syriac periphrastic present construction.

construction All three attest
Greek NT
Peshitta ܒܗܝ
Vulgate mensura

The relative pronoun is fused with the preposition in the Syriac ܒܗܝ ('with that/which'), while Greek ἐν ᾧ and Latin in qua keep preposition and relative as separate tokens; the gender shifts to feminine in Syriac and Latin to agree with the feminine noun 'measure'.

Greek NT μετρεῖτε
Peshitta ܕܡܟܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
Vulgate fueritis remetietur

Greek μετρεῖτε is a synthetic present; the Vulgate renders it with a deponent perfect periphrasis mensi fueritis ('you shall have measured'), shifting to a future-perfect nuance, while the Syriac employs the analytic participle ܕܡܟܝܠܝܢ plus pronoun ܐܢܬܘܢ — three distinct tense/aspect strategies for the same act of measuring.

Greek NT τοῖς ἀκούουσιν
Peshitta ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ

The Greek closes with an articular participial phrase τοῖς ἀκούουσιν ('to you who hear'), matched in the Syriac by the relative construction ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ('to those who hear'); the Clementine Vulgate omits this final clause entirely, ending at vobis, reflecting a shorter Western text-form of Mark 4:24.
