OET (OET-LV) And_the_kingdom and_the_dominion and_the_greatness of kingdoms_of under all_of the_heavens it_was_given to_the_people_of the_holy_ones_of the_Most_High kingdom_of_his will_be_a_kingdom_of perpetuity and_all/each/any/every the_empires to_him/it they_will_pay_reverence and_they_will_obey.

OET (OET-RV) Then the kingdom and the authority to rule and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens will be given to the people who are the followers of the highest one. His kingdom will continue forever, and all earthly rulers will serve and obey him.

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 7:26–27

This final evil ruler will lose his power. God’s people will begin to rule in God’s kingdom.

7:27a

Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.

Then: The Aramaic conjunction that the BSB translates as Then here means “at that time.” It does not refer to some indefinite later time.

the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High: God’s people will receive all the power and kingly majesty that the evil horn had possessed. The phrase will be given is passive. There are at least two ways to translate this clause:

the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness: The Aramaic word that the BSB translates as the sovereignty is literally “the kingdom.” The three nouns sovereignty, dominion, and greatness together indicate that God’s people will have the right, authority, and ability to rule. In some languages it may be natural to translate this idea without abstract nouns. For example:

they will be the rulers…the strongest…the greatest

they will rule powerfully and gloriously

all will submit to them, obey them, and honor them

the kingdoms under all of heaven: The Aramaic phrase that the BSB literally translates as the kingdoms under all of heaven refers to all nations on earth, whether they are ruled by a king, emperor, or president.

the people, the saints of the Most High: The Aramaic phrase that the BSB translates as the people, the saints of the Most High is more literally “the people of the holy ones of the Most High.” This expression refers to God’s people, those who belong to him. See how you translated the similar phrase (“the holy ones of the Most High”) in 7:18a, 7:22a-b.

7:27b

His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom,

His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom: There is a problem of interpretation here. The Hebrew singular pronoun that the BSB translates as His can refer either to the Most High God or to the people as a collective entity. The two possibilities are:

  1. it refers to God the Most High. For example:

    His kingdom is an eternal kingdom (NET) (BSB, NIV, NASB, NET, NLT, CEV)

  2. it refers to the people of God. For example:

    and their power to rule will last forever (NCV) (RSV/NRSV, NCV, ESV, REB, GW, GNT)

The KJV and NJB are ambiguous. It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). The most natural referent of the pronoun translated as His is to the Most High at the end of 7:27a. Other ways to translate this include:

His kingdom will last forever (NLT)

His kingdom will be eternal (CEV)

He will reign as king for all time

7:27c

and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’

and all rulers will serve and obey Him: Again there is a difference in interpretation. The Hebrew pronoun that the BSB translates as Him is singular but it can be understood in one of two ways:

  1. as referring to God. For example:

    all rulers will serve and obey him (NLT) (BSB, KJV, NIV, NASB, NET, NLT, CEV)

  2. as referring to God’s people, collectively. For example:

    People from all the other kingdoms will respect and serve them (NCV) (RSV/NRSV, NCV, ESV, REB, GNT, GW)

The NJB is again ambiguous. It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). The Aramaic verb that the BSB translates as serve is normally used of rendering service to a deity, rather than to rulers (see 3:12d, 3:18c, 6:16d, 3:20b.

all rulers: The Aramaic word that the BSB translates as rulers can also be translated as “realms, empires.” In the singular it normally means “dominion, sovereignty.” Here it probably refers to those who have power within every realm or nation.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠מַלְכוּתָ֨⁠ה וְ⁠שָׁלְטָנָ֜⁠א וּ⁠רְבוּתָ֗⁠א דִּ֚י מַלְכְוָת֙

and,the,kingdom and,the,dominion and,the,greatness that/who kingdoms_of

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of the kingdom, the dominion, and the greatness, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [and the right to reign and to rule gloriously over the kingdoms]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

תְּח֣וֹת כָּל שְׁמַיָּ֔⁠א

under all/each/any/every the=heavens

The attendant says under all of the heavens 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: [throughout the entire earth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יְהִיבַ֕ת לְ⁠עַ֖ם קַדִּישֵׁ֣י עֶלְיוֹנִ֑ין

given to,the_people_of saints_of most_high

The expression will be given is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God will give to his people, the saints of the Most High]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠כֹל֙ שָׁלְטָ֣נַיָּ֔⁠א לֵ֥⁠הּ יִפְלְח֖וּן וְ⁠יִֽשְׁתַּמְּעֽוּן

and=all/each/any/every the,empires to=him/it serve and,they_will_obey

Here, all dominions represent the rulers who hold that authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and all rulers will serve and make themselves hear him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֵ֥⁠הּ יִפְלְח֖וּן וְ⁠יִֽשְׁתַּמְּעֽוּן

to=him/it serve and,they_will_obey

In this context, the term hear has the sense of “obey.” While the form is reflexive in the original, in many languages an active form will convey the meaning accurately. Alternate translation: [will serve and obey him]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לֵ֥⁠הּ יִפְלְח֖וּן וְ⁠יִֽשְׁתַּמְּעֽוּן

to=him/it serve (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,kingdom and,the,dominion and,the,greatness that/who kingdoms_of under all/each/any/every the=heavens given to,the_people_of saints_of most_high kingdom_of,his kingdom_of everlasting and=all/each/any/every the,empires to=him/it serve and,they_will_obey )

The terms serve and make themselves hear him mean similar things. Daniel 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: [will diligently obey him] or [will obey him completely]

OET (OET-RV) Then the kingdom and the authority to rule and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens will be given to the people who are the followers of the highest one. His kingdom will continue forever, and all earthly rulers will serve and obey him.

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.
