Jerusalem surrounded by armies
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "armies surrounding Jerusalem" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
that its desolation is near
The word "desolation," which describes a place that is empty, is a metonym for Jerusalem after it has been destroyed and the Jews can no longer live there. Alternate translation: "that it will soon be destroyed" or "that they will soon destroy it" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
