SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–12:13: Daniel saw a vision of an angelic man and the end of the age

In this long final vision, Daniel was told of events leading up to the end of the age.

Paragraph 11:33–35

This paragraph tells what will happen to those who resist the evil king of the North.

11:35a

Some of the wise will fall,

Even some of those who are wise will suffer.
Some of those who have insight will be persecuted/killed.

Some of the wise will fall: The clause Some of the wise will fall here indicates that some of the faithful and wise Jewish teachers mentioned in 11:33a would suffer persecution. Avoid suggesting that Some of the wise will fall into sin. The following verse part shows that this is not the meaning in this context. Here are some other ways to translate this:

Some of the wise people will be defeated (GW)

Some of the discerning ones will fall victim to the persecutors

And some of the wise will fall victim to persecution (NLT)

Some of those who are wise will suffer (CEV)

11:35b-c

so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end: This is a purpose clause. It describes God’s purpose in allowing some of the wise to fall victim to persecution. God’s purpose is to make these people holy. Here are some other ways to translate this purpose clause:

in order to refine, purify and make them white until the end times (GW)

God will allow this to make them holy, pure, and without spot/blame until the end

11:35b

so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless

This will happen in order to refine, purify, and make God’s people clean.
The persecution/suffering will test and purify God’s people. It will help them to choose what is good and not sin.

they may be refined: The Hebrew verb phrase that the BSB translates as they may be refined is literally “to refine them.” This is a figure of speech that refers to the way metal is refined in order to test and purify it. There are several ways to translate this:

using a passive verb referring to either the refining of metal or the testing of a person. For example:
they may be tested (REB)
using an active verb. The implied subject may be God or the persecution itself. For example:
He wants to refine/test them
This persecution will refine/test them
using a noun. For example:
their refinement (NET)
their testing

purified: The word purified is here short for “so that they may be purified.” Again, this may be translated in several ways:

using a passive verb. For example:
made pure
using an active verb. For example:
to make them pure
using a noun. For example:
their…purification (NET)

made spotless: This is more literally “made white.” This is a passive verb and there are several ways to translate it:

using a passive verb. For example:
cleansed (NRSV)
using an active verb. For example:
made white (ESV)
using a noun. For example:
their…cleansing (NET)

Translate this series of three verbs in the way that is most natural in your language.

11:35c

until the time of the end,

The persecution will continue until the end of this time,
This will continue until this time/age comes to an end.

until the time of the end: Here is another way to translate this verse part:

until the end comes (GNT)

11:35d

for it will still come at the appointed time.

for the time that God has appointed/chosen/determined is still in the future.
God has decided when he will bring this time/age to an end.

for it will still come at the appointed time: This clause indicates that the end will come at the time God has appointed, but the end is not yet. It is still to come. Here are some other ways to translate this:

for there is still an interval until the time appointed (NRSV)

But the appointed time is still to come. (GW)

the appointed time: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as the appointed time refers to a fixed or set time for something to happen, such as a feast day. It is implied that God is the one who has appointed the time. In some languages it may be natural to make this explicit, as the GNT has done:

the time that God has set (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וּ⁠מִן־הַ⁠מַּשְׂכִּילִ֣ים יִכָּֽשְׁל֗וּ

and=from [those,who]_have_insight fall

The angel is referring to the death of these people in a polite way by using the phrase will stumble. Depending on what is helpful for your readers, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [And some of the ones teaching others will lose their lives]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: and=from [those,who]_have_insight fall to,refine (is)_in=them and,to,purge_[them] and,to,purify_[them] until time_of extremity/end_of that/for/because/then/when again/more to,time )

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [This is because]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠צְר֥וֹף בָּ⁠הֶ֛ם וּ⁠לְ⁠בָרֵ֥ר וְ⁠לַ⁠לְבֵּ֖ן

to,refine (is)_in=them and,to,purge_[them] and,to,purify_[them]

Here the angel is speaking as if these people were metal or cloth that someone would refine and whiten. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [so that they may become completely faithful and free from any fault]
