Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αὐτὸς ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἐπάρας τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ εἰς τούς μαθητάς αὐτοῦ ἔλεγεν Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοί ὅτι ὑμετέρᾳ ἐστίν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ)

This is an idiom that means “he looked,” but it means that he looked carefully and considerately. Alternate translation: [he gazed]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μακάριοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἐπάρας τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ εἰς τούς μαθητάς αὐτοῦ ἔλεγεν Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοί ὅτι ὑμετέρᾳ ἐστίν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ)

This expression indicates that God is giving favor to people and that their situation is positive or good. Alternate translation: [God will bless] or [How good it is for]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ πτωχοί

the poor

Jesus is using the adjective poor as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [people who are poor] or [you who are poor]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὅτι ὑμετέρα ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ

because (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἐπάρας τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ εἰς τούς μαθητάς αὐτοῦ ἔλεγεν Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοί ὅτι ὑμετέρᾳ ἐστίν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ)

See how you decided to translate the phrase the kingdom of God in [4:43](../04/43.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: [because God is ruling your lives]

ὑμετέρα ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἐπάρας τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ εἰς τούς μαθητάς αὐτοῦ ἔλεγεν Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοί ὅτι ὑμετέρᾳ ἐστίν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ)

This could mean: (1) “the kingdom of God belongs to you.” (2) “you are privileged within the kingdom of God.”
