Exegesis

The verb idēte {ἴδητε | í-dē-te} in the aorist active subjunctive second person plural expresses a first-class conditional protasis meaning 'whenever you see.' Its direct object is the noun phrase to bdelygma tēs erēmōseōs {τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως | tò bdé-ly-gma tês erēmṓ-se-ōs} 'the abomination of desolation,' with the genitive tēs erēmōseōs specifying the destructive character.

The attributive participial phrase to rhēthen dia Daniēl tou prophētou {τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Δανιὴλ τοῦ προφήτου | tò rhē-thèn dià Dan-i-ḗ-l tou prophḗ-tou} anchors the event in Daniel’s prophecy.

The participle hestos {ἑστὸς | hestōs} qualifies the abomination as already 'standing.' The locative prepositional phrase en topōi hagiōi {ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ | en tó-pō-i ha-gí-ō-i} identifies the setting in the holy place.
