The word Therefore introduces an inference or conclusion based on what Jesus has said about how persecution and suffering will happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of inference or conclusion. Alternate translation: [Because of all that]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅταν Οὖν ἴδητε Τό βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως τό ῥηθέν διά Δανιήλ τοῦ προφήτου ἑστός ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω)

The phrase the abomination of desolation is found in [Daniel 9:27](../../dan/09/27.md), [Daniel 11:31](../../dan/11/31.md), and [Daniel 12:11](../../dan/12/11.md). Jesus’ audience would have been familiar with these passages, which prophesy about the abomination entering the temple and defiling it. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the shameful thing that defiles the temple]

Jesus is using the possessive form to describe an abomination that causes desolation. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the abomination that causes desolation] or [the abomination that leads to desolation]
