I think much more context is needed - more than can easily be shown here.

Note definition of Heidegger's 'entities'
The term *entities* is used strategically throughout Being and
Time, so that Heidegger can avoid talking about "things". This is because the term "things" already presupposes an understanding of their existence, which Heidegger thinks is false and seeks to contest. As he points out, we are on dangerous ground even by addressing entities as 'Things', for in doing so we have "tacitly anticipated their ontological character". This was, in a nutshell, the mistake of Descartes and his forebears. Heidegger argues if you talk about the world in terms of things, the only "thing" you are ever going to uncover is the totally erroneous conception of the "Thinghood and Reality." [ref. ¶ 15, page 95]

If it really says "... lo ente ...", then you have the problem of an author who can't write in Spanish! Ah - I've found your text! I pity you!
I guess entity is right in this case - you will find this special Heidegger glossary useful http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/b_resources/b_and_t_glossary....

Existe la peculiar posibilidad de que lo ente se muestre en cuanto algo que, sin embargo, no es.A tal ente lo llamamos fenómeno, lo que se muestra en sentido propio sin apariencia.
