OET (OET-RV) Then he said:
 § The fourth creature will be a fourth kingdom in the world which will be different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole world, and trample it down and crush it.

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 7:23–25

The servant of God explained to Daniel the symbolism of the fourth kingdom and its horns.

7:23a

This is what he said:

This is what he said: The servant of God who was explaining the meaning of the dream continued to talk to Daniel. The clause This is what he said introduces the continuation of the explanation of the meaning. Here are some other ways to introduce this:

This is the explanation I was given (GNT)

He gave me this explanation (NIV)

7:23b

‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth,

The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth: The speaker explained that the fourth beast represented a fourth kingdom. It functioned as a symbol for a kingdom. Here are some other ways to translate this:

As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth (RSV)

The fourth beast means that there will be a fourth kingdom on earth (NET)

that will appear on the earth: The clause that will appear on the earth is literally “will be on the earth.” This indicates that this fourth kingdom would become powerful in the world of its time. Use the expression that is natural in your language. For example:

that will arise on earth

that will gain power in the world

that will come on the earth (NCV)

7:23c

different from all the other kingdoms,

different from all the other kingdoms: The Aramaic text indicates that this fourth kingdom will be different from the three kingdoms that the previous three beasts represented. The BSB has supplied the word other, and this may be helpful in many languages. Here are some other ways to translate this:

that will differ from all the other kingdoms (NET)

it will not be like the other three kingdoms

7:23d

and it will devour the whole earth,

7:23e

trample it down, and crush it.

7:23d–e

and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it: This verse part probably indicates some of the ways in which the fourth kingdom was different from the others. It will dominate and destroy the whole earth. Here are some other ways to translate this:

It will devour all the earth and trample and crush it (NET)

and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces (RSV)

will devour…trample…and crush: The Aramaic word that the BSB translates as will devour means “will eat, consume.” This is a figure of speech indicating that the beast will gain power over and destroy the earth. It has a similar meaning to the follow verbs, trample and crush. But the figures of speech are unclear or clashing. See also 7:7d and 7:19c-d. In these earlier verse parts the text indicates that the beast crushed the earth before devouring it and trampling on what was left. Here are some other ways to translate this:

will devour…trampling and crushing as it goes

It will devour…trampling and crushing everything in its path (NLT)

It will crush, devour, and trample on…

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

כֵּן֮ אֲמַר֒ חֵֽיוְתָ⁠א֙ רְבִיעָ֣יְתָ֔⁠א מַלְכ֤וּ רביעי⁠א תֶּהֱוֵ֣א בְ⁠אַרְעָ֔⁠א

yes/correct/thus/so he/it_said the,beast (the),fourth kingdom fourth,fourth be on,the,earth

There is a direct quotation inside a direct quotation here. If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Thus he was saying that the fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

כֵּן֮ אֲמַר֒

yes/correct/thus/so he/it_said

The pronoun he refers to the one standing whom Daniel approached, as verse 16 describes. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Thus the one standing there was saying]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠תֵאכֻל֙ כָּל אַרְעָ֔⁠א וּ⁠תְדוּשִׁנַּ֖⁠הּ וְ⁠תַדְּקִנַּֽ⁠הּ

and,it_will_devour all/each/any/every the,earth and,it,will_tread_it_down and,it,will_shatter_it

Here the attendant is speaking as if this kingdom were a beast that would devour the nations it conquered and trample and crush them. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And it will conquer all of the earth, and it will defeat and destroy every nation]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כָּל אַרְעָ֔⁠א

all/each/any/every all/each/any/every the,earth

The attendant says all of the earth as an extreme statement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [a vast expanse of land]
