OET-LV And_ I Dāniyyʼēl _I_saw and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE two others were_standing one here was_to_the_bank_of the_River and_one here was_to_the_bank_of the_River.
OET (OET-RV) Then I, Daniyel, looked, and to my surprise, two others were standing there—one on this side of the river and one on the opposite bank.
In this long final vision, Daniel was told of events leading up to the end of the age.
Daniel heard three angelic figures talking to one another by the river.
Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there,
¶ I, Daniel continued to look at the vision. Suddenly, two figures/beings appeared and stood before me.
¶ I continued looking when suddenly I saw two more angelic beings standing there in front of me.
Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there: In his vision Daniel next saw two other figures or angelic beings. Here are some other ways to translate this:
I, Daniel, watched as two others stood there, one on each side of the river. (NET)
Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others appeared (NRSV)
two others: The phrase two others refers to two other living beings or figures who looked like men but who were probably angels. If you must indicate who these two others were, try to use a general expression. For example:
two other figures
two other people (CEV)
one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.
One of them was standing on this side of the river. The other stood on the other side.
They stood on the two sides of the river.
one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank: The Hebrew more literally says “one here to the bank/edge of the river and one here to the bank/edge of the river.” Here are some other ways to translate this:
one on this side of the river and one on the other side (CEV)
one on each side of the river (NET)
In some languages it may be more natural to combine the information in these verse parts or record it in a different order. For example:
Then I saw two men standing by a river, one on each bank. (GNT)
Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing on opposite banks of the river. (NLT)

two others standing
Daniel is introducing two others as new participants in the story. Your language may have its own way of introducing new participants that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [there were two other beings standing]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
שְׁנַ֥יִם אֲחֵרִ֖ים
two others
The implication is that two others are two more angelic beings, in addition to the man clothed in linens whom Daniel had already seen. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [two other angelic beings]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶחָ֥ד הֵ֨נָּה֙ לִשְׂפַ֣ת הַיְאֹ֔ר
one(ms) they(f) [was]_to,the_bank_of of,the_River
Daniel is speaking as if the edge of the river were a lip. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [one here on the bank of the river]
