1.0 KiB
his kingdom will be broken and divided
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "his kingdom will break apart and divide" or "his kingdom will break apart into pieces" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
the four winds of heaven
See how you translated this in Daniel 7:2.
but not to his own descendants
The idea of not being divided and shared out is implied here. Alternate translation: "but it will not be divided for his own descendants" or "but it will not be shared by his own descendants" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)
his kingdom will be uprooted for others besides his descendants
The kingdom is spoken of as if it were a plant that someone destroyed by uprooting it. This idea can be expressed in active form. Alternate translation: "another power will uproot and destroy his kingdom and others who are not his descendants will rule over it" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
