OET (OET-LV) and_he/it_said go Oh_Dāniyyʼēl if/because are_kept_secret and_sealed_up the_things until the_time_of the_end.

OET (OET-RV) “Just carry on, Daniel,” he responded, “because those matters are closed and sealed until the time of the end.

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 12:9–13

In this paragraph the angelic figure encouraged Daniel to persevere. He promised that at the end of time God will resurrect and reward those who persevere in righteousness.

12:9a

“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied,

“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied: The BSB places the words he replied in the middle of what the angelic figure said to Daniel. This is good English style. However, in some languages, it may be necessary to place these words at the beginning on 12:9a, where they are in the Hebrew text. For example:

He replied, “Go on your way, Daniel…” (NIV)

The angel replied to Daniel by giving him encouragement to continue his life, which was a life of faithful service. Daniel could go and continue fulfilling the duties he was given. Avoid translating this in a way that suggests that the angelic figure was telling Daniel to go away because he did not want to talk to him anymore.

Go on your way, Daniel: You should translate this command in a positive way that implies that God was pleased with Daniel’s way, that is, his manner of life. The angel was not rebuking Daniel. Here are some other ways to translate this:

Daniel, go about your business (CEV)

You may go/continue on your way, Daniel.

12:9b

“for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end: This verse part gives the reason why Daniel could go on his way in peace. The things he had heard and written about were not for his time. In some languages it may be natural to translate this as a separate sentence. For example:

For these matters are closed and sealed until the time of the end. (NET)

the words are closed up and sealed: This is a figure of speech. The words that the angel had spoken are referred to as if they were themselves a scroll that Daniel had rolled up and sealed, so that it could not be read. Daniel had been commanded to do this in 12:4a. Here in 12:9b the scroll is not mentioned explicitly, but the verbs are the same. In your translation, try to use the same verbs that you used in 12:4a so that readers can see the connection and understand that Daniel obeyed the command.

Here are some ways to translate this figure of speech:

The verbs are closed up and sealed are both passives. The implied actor is Daniel (from 12:4a), or possibly God himself, who caused the words to be rolled up and sealed. So there are at least two ways to translate this clause:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּֽי

that/for/because/then/when

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: [because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לֵ֣ךְ דָּנִיֵּ֑אל

go_~_way Dāniyy\sup_ʼēl

The man clothed in linens is using Go, Daniel as a common expression of the culture to mean “go on your way and live out the rest of your life.” 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: [Continue living your life, Daniel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

סְתֻמִ֧ים וַ⁠חֲתֻמִ֛ים הַ⁠דְּבָרִ֖ים

remain_secret and,sealed_up the,things

The expressions closed up and sealed are passive verbal forms. If it would be unnatural to use those forms, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God has closed up and sealed the words]
