And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 7 of Daniel. A figure like a son of man comes with the clouds and receives dominion, glory, and a kingdom. The contrast with the preceding beasts is deliberate: against powers represented as animals, a human-like figure appears and receives universal and eternal authority. The passage thus becomes one of Daniel’s central images of the ultimate kingdom and authority granted by God.

Der gab ihm Gewalt, Ehre und Reich, daß ihm alle Völker, Leute und Zungen dienen sollten. Seine Gewalt ist ewig, die nicht vergeht, und sein Königreich hat kein Ende.
Y fuele dado señorío, y gloria, y reino; y todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas le sirvieron; su señorío, señorío eterno, que no será transitorio, y su reino que no se corromperá.
On lui donna la domination, la gloire et le règne; et tous les peuples, les nations, et les hommes de toutes langues le servirent. Sa domination est une domination éternelle qui ne passera point, et son règne ne sera jamais détruit.
Ed esso gli diede signoria, e gloria, e regno; e tutti i popoli, nazioni, e lingue, devono servirgli; la sua signoria è una signoria eterna, la qual non trapasserà giammai; e il suo regno è un regno che non sarà giammai distrutto
E foi-lhe dado o domínio, e a honra, e o reino, para que todos os povos, nações e línguas o servissem; o seu domínio é um domínio eterno, que não passará, e o seu reino tal, que não será destruído.
他得了權柄、榮耀、國度, 使各方、各國、各族的人都事奉他。 他的權柄是永遠的,不能廢去, 他的國度必不敗壞。
