OET (OET-LV) And_reports they_will_dismay_him from_the_east and_from_the_north and_he_will_go_out in_rage great to_destroy and_to_totally_destroy many_people.
OET (OET-RV) But reports coming in from the east and the north will terrify him, and he’ll go out to fight furiously and kill many.
In this long final vision, Daniel was told of events leading up to the end of the age.
This paragraph describes the final battles and end of the despicable king of the north.
But news from the east and the north will alarm him,
But he will be alarmed by news from the east and the north.
However, the king of the north will hear bad news from the east and the north of his empire. The news will terrify him.
But news from the east and the north will alarm him: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as news can mean “reports” or “rumors.” It refers to things that one hears from others. The king would hear some things from the east and the north that would greatly disturb him. Here are some other ways to translate this:
But reports will trouble him from the east and north (NET)
Then news that comes from the east and the north will frighten him (GNT)
In some languages it may be natural to make the king the subject of this clause. For example:
But he will be alarmed by news from the east and the north (CEV)
In other languages it may be natural to make the men who made the reports the subject. For example:
But his men in the east and the north will send him news/reports and alarm him.
and he will go out with great fury to destroy many and devote them to destruction.
As a result, he will set out in rage to completely destroy many people.
He will become very angry and depart to kill many people.
and he will go out with great fury to destroy many and devote them to destruction: This clause tells what the king will do when he is alarmed by the reports from the east and the north. He will be very angry and will go with his army to destroy and kill many people. Here are some other ways to translate this:
and he shall go out with great fury to bring ruin and complete destruction to many (NRSV)
He will leave very angry to destroy and exterminate many. (GW)
to destroy many and devote them to destruction: In this context the verbs that the BSB translates as destroy and devote them to destruction are synonyms. Together they refer to total ruin. In some languages it may be natural to combine them into one verb phrase as the CEV has done:
and cause great destruction (CEV)
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּשְׁמֻע֣וֹת יְבַהֲלֻ֔הוּ מִמִּזְרָ֖ח וּמִצָּפ֑וֹן
and,reports they,will_dismay_him from_[the],east and,from_[the],north
The implication is that these reports will tell of threats to his rule that come from those directions. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [But reports of threats arising in the east and in the north will terrify him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְיָצָא֙ בְּחֵמָ֣א גְדֹלָ֔ה
and,he_will_go_out in,rage great
Here the angel is speaking as if the rage of this king were great heat. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he will go out in a great rage]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
לְהַשְׁמִ֥יד וּֽלְהַחֲרִ֖ים רַבִּֽים
to,destroy and,to,totally_destroy many
The terms to destroy and to devote mean similar things. The angel is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [to completely wipe out many]
OET (OET-LV) And_reports they_will_dismay_him from_the_east and_from_the_north and_he_will_go_out in_rage great to_destroy and_to_totally_destroy many_people.
OET (OET-RV) But reports coming in from the east and the north will terrify him, and he’ll go out to fight furiously and kill many.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
