UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω ἆραι τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ

the_‹one› in the field not /let/_return back /to/_take_away the coat ˱of˲_him

Here Jesus gives a command to one person, but he implies that it applies to any of his disciples who are in the situation that he describes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “let the ones in the fields not turn back to take their cloaks”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω ἆραι τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ

the_‹one› in the field not /let/_return back /to/_take_away the coat ˱of˲_him

People in Jesus’ time often walked from their towns to the field that they worked in during the day. Jesus is saying that, when they see the abomination of desolation, they should not return to their town to get their cloaks. Instead, they should flee directly from the field that they are working in. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “let the one working the field not return to his town to get his cloak”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω

the_‹one› in the field not /let/_return back

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the one in the field must not turn back”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_him

Although the term his is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “his or her”
