Exegesis
The following purpose clause ʿaḏ dî tindāʿ {עַד דִּי תִּנְדַּע | ʿaḏ dî tin-daʿ} ‘until you know’ uses dî {דִּי | dî} as a conjunction introducing the goal of the entire experience: the king’s recognition.
The content of that recognition is expressed by two dî-clauses in parallel: dî šallîṭ ʿillāyā bəmalkûṯ ʾănāšāʾ {דִּי שַׁלִּיט עִלָּיָא בְּמַלְכוּת אֲנָשָׁא | dî šal-lîṭ ʿil-lā-yā bə-mal-kûṯ ʾă-nā-šāʾ} ‘that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men’ and ûləmān-dî yiṣbēʾ yətəninnāh {וּלְמַן־דִּי יִצְבֵּא יְתְּנִנַּהּ | û-lə-man-dî yiṣ-bēʾ yə-tten-in-nāh} ‘and that He gives it to whomever He wills’.
Šallîṭ {שַׁלִּיט | šal-lîṭ} ‘ruling, ruler’ functions predicatively, asserting an ongoing state, while ʿillāyā {עִלָּיָא | ʿil-lā-yā} ‘Most High’ is a divine title that encapsulates transcendence.
The dynamic reconstruction reshapes some clauses into shorter sentences and uses expressions like ‘in control over human kingdoms’ to render the predicate šallîṭ ʿillāyā {שַׁלִּיט עִלָּיָא | šal-lîṭ ʿil-lā-yā} ‘the Most High is ruler’ in language that clearly conveys ongoing, comprehensive sovereignty.

“to have power, to rule”
In context — Daniel 4:32
And from among men they will drive you, and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field, and they will make you eat grass like oxen, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that He gives it to whomever He wills.
