OET (OET-RV) Then the southern (Egyptian) king will be furious and go out and fight against the northern (Syrian) king who’ll assemble a large army, but that large army will be defeated.
In this long final vision, Daniel was told of events leading up to the end of the age.
This paragraph describes an attack by the king of the South on the northern kingdom.
In a rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North,
¶ “Then the king of the south will be very angry. He and his army will set out to fight the king of the north.
¶ “Then the king of the southern kingdom will be furious. He and his men will attack the king of the northern kingdom.
In a rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North: The Hebrew more literally says “and the king of the South will be very angry, and he will go out, and he will fight the king of the North.” The verb “will be angry” is in a prominent position. In some languages it may be natural to emphasize this by placing it near the beginning of the sentence. For example:
The southern king will be outraged. He will go to fight the northern king (GW)
In his anger the king of Egypt will go to war against the king of Syria (GNT)
The two Hebrew verbs that the BSB translates as march out and fight together describe the beginning of the action of fighting. In some languages they can be combined into one verb or verb phrase. For example:
In his anger, the king of the south will attack the king of the north.
Then the king of the south will be enraged and will march out to fight against the king of the north. (NET)
The king of the South did not attack alone. He led his men, his army, against the North. In some languages it may be natural to make this explicit. For example:
In great anger, the king of the South will lead his men/army against the king of the North.
the king of the South: At this time the king of the South was Ptolemy IV (who ruled Egypt 221–203 B.C.). He successfully attacked Antiochus III and his army at the battle of Raphia. This information may be placed in a footnote if you are using such footnotes to explain the historical background.
who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.
The king of the north will gather a large army but he will be defeated by the king of the south.
Although the king of the northern kingdom will have a big army, the king of the south and his army will defeat them
who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy: The pronoun who refers to the king of the North. In some languages it may be natural to make this explicit. For example:
The king of the North will have a large army, but he will lose the battle. (NCV)
it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy is literally “the army will be given into his hand.” This indicates that the northern army would be given into the hand (that is, power) of the southern army. The verb be delivered is passive. There are two ways to translate it:
using a passive verb. For example:
they/he will be conquered
using an active verb. The implied subject is the king of the south and his army. For example:
he will lose the battle (NCV)
the king of the south will defeat him
Translate this in a way that is natural in your language.

וְיִתְמַרְמַר֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ הַנֶּ֔גֶב
and,he_will_be_enraged king of,the_south
The angel is using will embitter himself as a common expression of the culture to mean “will become very angry.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Then the king of the south will become furious]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וְהֶעֱמִיד֙ הָמ֣וֹן רָ֔ב וְנִתַּ֥ן הֶהָמ֖וֹן בְּיָדֽוֹ
and,he_will_raise_up multitude great (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_will_be_enraged king of,the_south and,he_will_go_out and,he_will_engage_in_battle with=him/it with king of,the_north and,he_will_raise_up multitude great and,it_will_be_given the,multitude in=his/its=hand )
The pronoun he refers to the king of the north, while the pronoun his refers to the king of the south. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the king of the north will make a great multitude stand, but the multitude will be given into the hand of the king of the south]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְהֶעֱמִיד֙ הָמ֣וֹן רָ֔ב
and,he_will_raise_up multitude great
The angel is using will make a great multitude stand as a common expression of the culture to mean “will gather a large army.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And he will raise up many soldiers]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְנִתַּ֥ן הֶהָמ֖וֹן בְּיָדֽוֹ
and,it_will_be_given the,multitude in=his/its=hand
The expression will be given is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [but God will give the multitude into his hand]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְנִתַּ֥ן הֶהָמ֖וֹן בְּיָדֽוֹ
and,it_will_be_given the,multitude in=his/its=hand
Here, his hand represents “his power and control.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [but the multitude will be given over into his control]
