SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:14–23: Jesus told what will happen when the horrible thing defiles God’s temple

In this section Jesus told about a horrible thing that would defile God’s temple. Then God and his people would no longer meet there, and it would be left desolate (13:14). Jesus told his disciples that when they saw that defiling horror, they must flee. It would be a time of great misery for them. Some people would falsely claim to be a prophet or Christ himself. Jesus warned that his disciples must be careful not to believe people who made those claims.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus warned his disciples about the future distress

The coming time of great trouble

The detestable thing that causes people to abandon the temple

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 24:15–28 and Luke 21:20–24.

Paragraph 13:14–20

The speech that Jesus began in 13:5 continues in this paragraph. In some languages it may be helpful to remind the listeners or readers from time to time who is speaking. For example:

Jesus continued to say to his disciples

13:16

And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

The person who is out in the fields must not go back home to get his cloak.
Those who are working in the fields must not go back to the house to fetch their coats.
If you^(plur) are in the fields, do not go back home to collect your jackets.

And let no one in the field return: This clause is a command.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

No one in the field should go back.

If you^(plur) are in the field, do not go back.

in the field: The phrase in the field implies “working in the field.”

Here are some other ways to translate this:

No one who is working in the field

If you^(plur) are working in the field

field: The word that the BSB translates as field refers to cultivated land or land where animals could graze.

return: The verb return implies “go back home” or “return to his house.”

for his cloak: The Greek word that the BSB translates as cloak was an outer garment like a coat. People wore cloaks, especially at night, to keep warm.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν, μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἆραι τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ

the_‹one› in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὁ εἰς τόν ἀγρόν μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω ἆραι τό ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ)

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 the things behind to get their cloaks]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν, μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἆραι τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ

the_‹one› in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὁ εἰς τόν ἀγρόν μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω ἆραι τό ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ)

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 or house to get his cloak]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ὁ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν, μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω

the_‹one› in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὁ εἰς τόν ἀγρόν μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω ἆραι τό ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ)

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]

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

τὸ ἱμάτιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὁ εἰς τόν ἀγρόν μή ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τά ὀπίσω ἆραι τό ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ)

The word cloak refers to an outer garment. You could translate this with the name of an outer garment that your readers would recognize, or with a general expression. Alternate translation: [jacket] or [outer garment]
