Mark 5 : 3

EN He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,

ES Que tenía domicilio en los sepulcros, y ni aun con cadenas le podía alguien atar;

ZH-HANS 那人常住在坟茔里,没有人能捆住他,就是用铁链也不能;

ZH-HANT 那人常住在墳塋裏,沒有人能捆住他,就是用鐵鍊也不能;

construction Two witnesses
Greek NT ὃς
Vulgate qui

Greek and Latin open with a relative pronoun (ὃς / qui) heading the relative clause describing the demoniac; the Peshitta dispenses with the relative and renders paratactically with a finite verb plus enclitic ('and he dwelt'), a typical Syriac avoidance of the cumbersome subordinate construction.

Greek NT τὴν κατοίκησιν εἶχεν
Peshitta ܘܥܡܪ ܗܘܐ
Vulgate domicilium habebat

Greek and Latin employ a nominal-object idiom 'had (his) dwelling' (τὴν κατοίκησιν εἶχεν / domicilium habebat), while the Peshitta uses a simple verbal periphrasis ܘܥܡܪ ܗܘܐ ('and he was dwelling') with the auxiliary ܗܘܐ to express durative past; the sense is equivalent but the Syriac is verbal rather than nominal.

Greek NT ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν
Peshitta ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ
Vulgate in monumentis

Greek τοῖς μνήμασιν and Latin in monumentis use the plural 'tombs'; the Peshitta renders ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ('in the house of burial / the tomb-place'), a Syriac compound idiom for the burial precinct treated as a single locale, and drops the explicit preposition since it is fused into the construct phrase.

agreement Two witnesses
Greek NT καὶ
Vulgate et

Greek καί and Latin et coordinate the following clause; the Peshitta has folded the connective into the prefixed waw of ܘܥܡܪ at the verse opening and into ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ, so no separate conjunction token answers here.

𝔊 grk ℙ syr 𝔙 vul
omission Two witnesses
Greek NT οὐδὲ
Vulgate neque

The emphatic negative οὐδέ ('not even') is matched by Latin neque, but the Peshitta expresses the negation solely through ܠܐ later in the clause and offers no separate intensifying particle, slightly flattening the rhetorical force.

𝔊 grk ℙ syr 𝔙 vul
omission Two witnesses
Greek NT οὐκέτι
Vulgate jam

Greek οὐκέτι and Latin jam ('no longer') express that prior bindings had failed; the Peshitta lacks any temporal-adverbial equivalent, narrating only the present incapacity to bind him and omitting the iterative nuance.

construction All three attest
Greek NT ἐδύνατο
Peshitta ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ
Vulgate poterat

Greek ἐδύνατο and Latin poterat are single imperfect verbs of ability; the Peshitta uses the negated participle ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ with the auxiliary ܗܘܐ ('was not finding/able'), where the root š-k-ḥ ('to find') idiomatically carries the sense 'to be able' in Syriac.

construction All three attest
Greek NT αὐτὸν δῆσαι
Peshitta ܠܡܐܣܪܗ
Vulgate eum ligare

Greek αὐτὸν δῆσαι and Latin eum ligare use an explicit accusative pronoun plus infinitive; the Peshitta compresses both into the single infinitive ܠܡܐܣܪܗ ('to bind him') with the object suffixed pronominally, a more economical Syriac construction.

𝔊 grk ℙ syr 𝔙 vul
punctuation Vulgate only

The Clementine Vulgate closes the verse with a colon, signalling continuation into the following clause; neither the Greek (which ends with a period after μνήμασιν mid-verse) nor the Peshitta carries a corresponding terminal mark here.
