SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–28 Daniel dreamed about four beasts

Daniel had a vision of four beasts on earth and of God on his throne in heaven. One of the heavenly beings explained to Daniel that the four beasts represented four earthly kingdoms.

Paragraph 7:15–18

While still in a dreamlike state, Daniel asked about the meaning of what he had seen. God’s servant briefly explained to Daniel the meaning of his dream. He gave a summary of what the vision symbolized.

7:18a

But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom

But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom: The Aramaic phrase that the BSB translates as receive the kingdom refers to receiving power to rule. It is implied that the holy people (saints) will receive this power from God. Here are some other ways to translate this:

But the holy people who belong to the Most High God will receive the power to rule

But the Most High God will give to his people the kingly authority

But the holy people of the Most High will be given the kingdom (NLT)

But: The common Aramaic conjunction that the BSB translates as But here introduces a contrast to the previous verse part. Although the four beasts would rule in turn, finally God’s people will rule. Here is another way to translate this:

But in the end (CEV)

the saints of the Most High: The phrase the saints of the Most High is more literally “the holy ones of the Most High.” It means “the holy people who belong to God.”

the saints: The Aramaic text says “the holy ones.” These people are called saints because they are devoted to God and belong to him.

will receive the kingdom: The Aramaic word that the BSB translates as the kingdom here refers to the right and power to rule. Here is another way to translate this:

will receive the kingly power (REB)

7:18b

and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’

and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever: God’s holy ones will always possess the kingdom. That is, they will always have authority to rule. Here are some other ways to translate this:

and will take possession of the kingdom forever and ever (NET)

and kingship will be theirs for ever, for ever and ever (NJB)

and keep it for ever and ever (GW)

and they will rule forever and ever (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וִֽ⁠יקַבְּלוּן֙

and,they_will_receive

The attendant uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between the four kings who arise from the earth and the holy people of God who receive the kingdom. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [However,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וִֽ⁠יקַבְּלוּן֙ מַלְכוּתָ֔⁠א קַדִּישֵׁ֖י עֶלְיוֹנִ֑ין

and,they_will_receive the,kingdom saints_of most_high

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of the kingdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [But the saints of the Most High will start to reign]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

קַדִּישֵׁ֖י עֶלְיוֹנִ֑ין

saints_of most_high

The attendant is using the possessive form to describe the saints who belong to the Most High. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the holy people who belong to the Most High]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

קַדִּישֵׁ֖י עֶלְיוֹנִ֑ין

saints_of most_high

The implication is that the saints are the people whom God has set apart as holy for himself. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the people whom God has set apart as holy for himself]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

עַֽד עָ֣לְמָ֔⁠א וְ⁠עַ֖ד עָלַ֥ם עָלְמַיָּֽ⁠א

until the=ages and=unto forever_of of_(the),perpetuities

The expressions to eternity and to eternity of eternities mean similar things. The attendant is using the two expressions together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [forever without end]
