in in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅς ἔσται ἐπί τοῦ δώματος καί τά σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μή καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά καί ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω)

Jesus is using the term day to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: [At that time]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ὃς ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος, καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅς ἔσται ἐπί τοῦ δώματος καί τά σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μή καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά καί ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω)

Jesus is speaking of a hypothetical situation that might occur at this time. Alternate translation: [suppose someone is doing something on the roof of his house. Then he should not go inside to get his valuables]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅς ἔσται ἐπί τοῦ δώματος καί τά σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μή καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά καί ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω)

In this culture, housetops were flat and people could go up onto them without being in danger of sliding off. Housetops were used for a variety of purposes, such as storing and ripening grain and fruit, sleeping in hot weather, and gathering in a large open space. If housetops or roofs are different in your culture and your readers would not understand that Jesus is speaking of someone doing an ordinary activity, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: [doing something outside the house]

τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅς ἔσται ἐπί τοῦ δώματος καί τά σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μή καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά καί ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω)

Alternate translation: [his possessions] or [his valuables]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅς ἔσται ἐπί τοῦ δώματος καί τά σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μή καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά καί ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω)

The implication is that people should flee immediately without even taking the time to secure their valuables. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [he should flee immediately, without going inside to get his valuables]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

καὶ ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ, ὁμοίως μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅς ἔσται ἐπί τοῦ δώματος καί τά σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μή καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά καί ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω)

Jesus is speaking of a hypothetical situation that might occur at this time. Alternate translation: [and suppose someone is out working in the field. Then he too should not go back into the house for anything]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅς ἔσται ἐπί τοῦ δώματος καί τά σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μή καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά καί ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω)

The implication once again is that people should flee immediately without even taking the time to secure their valuables. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [he should flee immediately, without going back to the house to get his valuables]
