Mark 13 : 35

EN Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;

ES Velad pues, porque no sabéis cuándo el señor de la casa vendrá; si á la tarde, ó á la media noche, ó al canto del gallo, ó á la mañana;

ZH-HANS 所以,你们要警醒;因为你们不知道家主什么时候来,或晚上,或半夜,或鸡叫,或早晨;

ZH-HANT 所以,你們要警醒;因為你們不知道家主甚麼時候來,或晚上,或半夜,或雞叫,或早晨;

Greek NT οὐκ
Peshitta ܕܠܐ
Vulgate (nescitis

Greek negates with οὐκ + finite verb; Syriac fronts the negation with ܕܠܐ ('that not') introducing a subordinate causal clause, while the Vulgate opens a parenthesis (nescitis) without an explicit negative particle, the negation being lexicalised in the verb itself.

Greek NT οἴδατε
Peshitta ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
Vulgate (nescitis

Greek οἴδατε is a synthetic 2nd-person plural perfect; Syriac analytically separates the participle ܝܕܥܝܢ from the enclitic pronoun ܐܢܬܘܢ ('you know'), a normal Aramaic periphrastic construction. Latin nescitis compresses both negation and verb into one form.

Greek NT ὁ κύριος
Peshitta ܡܪܗ
Vulgate dominus

Greek uses article + noun (ὁ κύριος); Syriac employs the bound form ܡܪܗ with a 3rd-person suffix ('its lord/master'), making the possessive relation to 'house' explicit, whereas Latin dominus stands articleless per Latin custom.

Greek NT τῆς οἰκίας
Peshitta ܕܒܝܬܐ
Vulgate domus

Greek expresses the genitive with article + noun (τῆς οἰκίας); Syriac uses the dalath-relative particle prefix ܕܒܝܬܐ ('of the house') governed by the preceding suffix, and Latin uses the bare genitive domus — three different morphosyntactic strategies for the same possessive idea.

Greek NT ἔρχεται
Peshitta ܐܬܐ
Vulgate veniat

Greek ἔρχεται and Syriac ܐܬܐ are present/imperfective indicatives; the Vulgate veniat is present subjunctive, reflecting the indirect-question syntax after nescitis quando, a Latin grammatical refinement absent from the indicative idiom of Greek and Syriac.

Greek NT
Vulgate sero

The Vulgate inserts an explicit colon to open the enumeration of watches; Greek and Syriac mark the first temporal item directly with ἢ/asyndeton, so no punctuation token corresponds in those traditions.

Greek NT ὀψὲ
Peshitta ܒܪܡܫܐ
Vulgate an

Greek ὀψέ is an adverb ('late, at evening'); Syriac ܒܪܡܫܐ ('in the evening') and Latin sero render the same watch but Syriac uses a prepositional noun phrase rather than a bare adverb, a regular Aramaic preference for substantival temporal expressions.

Greek NT μεσονύκτιον
Peshitta ܒܦܠܓܗ ܕܠܠܝܐ
Vulgate nocte an

Greek μεσονύκτιον is a single compound noun ('midnight'); both Syriac ܒܦܠܓܗ ܕܠܠܝܐ ('at the half of the night') and Latin media nocte analytically express the same watch as 'middle of the night', a periphrasis natural to both languages.

Greek NT ἀλεκτοροφωνίας
Peshitta ܒܡܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ
Vulgate cantu an

Greek ἀλεκτοροφωνίας is a single genitive compound ('cockcrow'); Syriac ܒܡܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ('at the crowing of the cock') and Latin galli cantu both unpack the compound into a two-word phrase, an analytic rendering of the Greek synthetic noun.

Greek NT πρωΐ·
Peshitta ܒܨܦܪܐ

Greek πρωΐ is an adverb closing the list with a high stop; Syriac ܒܨܦܪܐ ('in the morning') again substantivises the time with a preposition, and the Vulgate mane closes the parenthesis opened at nescitis, the bracketing punctuation being unique to the Latin tradition.
