OET (OET-LV) And_the_court it_will_sit and_dominion_of_his they_will_remove to_annihilate and_to_destroy until the_end.
OET (OET-RV) But the court will sit, and then his authority to rule will be taken away—to perish and be forever destroyed.
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.
This final evil ruler will lose his power. God’s people will begin to rule in God’s kingdom.
But the court will convene,
¶ “But the members of the court will sit on their thrones and begin to judge,
¶ “Then the judges will take their seats/places in court to give their judgment/verdict.
But the court will convene: The members of the court, the judges, will take their places in order to begin judging. See how you translated this idea in 7:10d. For example:
But the court shall sit in judgment (ESV)
Then the heavenly court will sit in judgment (GNT)
But then the judges will take their places/seats in court
In some cultures judges in courts may not sit down, and translating this idea may distract from the main point, the act of judging. In those languages you may wish to translate the function of the action and say:
But the court will decide what should happen. (NCV)
But then the court will pass judgment (NLT)
and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
They will take away the power of that king. They will destroy it and bring it to an end!
They will put a complete end to his rule/authority for all time.
and his dominion will be taken away: The Aramaic text is more literally “and they will remove his power/dominion to destroy.” The subject is the members of the court, the judges. There are at least two ways to translate this:
Using a passive verb. For example:
and his ruling authority will be removed (NET)
and all his power will be taken away (NLT)
Using an active verb. For example:
the heavenly court will…take away his power (GNT)
and completely destroyed forever: The Aramaic text is more literally: “to annihilate and destroy it until the end.” The two verbs “annihilate” and “destroy” are synonyms in this context and together they emphasize the idea. The BSB has combined them into one emphatic phrase, and this may be a good model to follow in some languages. Here is another way to translate this:
destroyed and abolished forever (NET)
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
לְהַשְׁמָדָ֥ה וּלְהוֹבָדָ֖ה עַד־סוֹפָֽא
to,annihilate and,to,destroy until the,end
Here, to marks consume and destroy as the goal or purpose of taking away his dominion. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: [totally consuming and destroying it]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
לְהַשְׁמָדָ֥ה וּלְהוֹבָדָ֖ה
to,annihilate and,to,destroy
The terms consume and destroy mean similar things. The attendant 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 utterly destroy it]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
עַד סוֹפָֽא
until the,end
The attendant is using to the end as a common expression of the culture to mean “completely and finally.” 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: [completely and finally]
OET (OET-LV) And_the_court it_will_sit and_dominion_of_his they_will_remove to_annihilate and_to_destroy until the_end.
OET (OET-RV) But the court will sit, and then his authority to rule will be taken away—to perish and be forever destroyed.
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.
