SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–7:29: Jesus preached a sermon on a mountain

For many years, English versions and Christians have commonly referred to Matthew 5–7 as “The Sermon on the Mount.” In some translations, it may be helpful to include a heading for chapters 5–7 that is on a level above the section heading for 5:1–12.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Sermon on the Mountain

The sermon that Jesus preached on a mountain

Jesus taught people on the side of a mountain/hill

Paragraph 5:3–10

There are eight “blessings” in verses 3–10. Each of the eight blessings has two parts. Each blessing starts with the words “Blessed are” and tells what kind of person is blessed. Each blessing ends with the reason why that kind of person is blessed. Each blessing is a short statement like a proverb.

Some English versions begin a new section at 5:3. One possibility is to put a general heading like “The sermon on the mountain” at 5:1 and the heading of “God blesses his people” here.

5:10a

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

Blessed are: For help in translating the word Blessed, see the note at 5:3a.

those who are persecuted because of righteousness: This clause refers to people who do what God says is right, and for that reason other people persecute them.

persecuted: The word persecuted means “deliberately harm someone,” “mistreat someone” or “cause someone to suffer.”

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

mistreated

caused to suffer

oppressed

harmed on purpose

because of righteousness: The phrase because of righteousness indicates the reason for the persecution. It is because God’s people do what is good or right.

Here are some other ways to translate because of righteousness:

for doing good (NCV)

because they do what is right

for doing what God approves of (GW)

because they do what God requires (GNT)

The word righteousness also occurs in 5:6a. You should translate it in a similar way here.

Here is another way to translate this verse part:

God blesses those people who are treated badly for doing right (CEV)

5:10b

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

for: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as for introduces the reason that the “those who are persecuted because of righteousness” are blessed. They are blessed because the kingdom of heaven belongs to them. For example:

because the kingdom of heaven belongs to them (NCV)

In some languages, no conjunction is necessary here. For example:

The kingdom of heaven belongs to them. (GW)

In other languages, it will be more natural to put 5:10b before 5:10a. For example:

Those who are persecuted because of righteousness have the kingdom of heaven, so they are blessed.

The kingdom of heaven is for those who are persecuted because of righteousness, so they are blessed.

theirs is the kingdom of heaven: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as theirs is the kingdom of heaven is exactly the same clause as in 5:3b. You should translate this clause here as you did there.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστίν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [The kingdom of the heavens belongs to the ones persecuted for the sake of righteousness, so they are blessed]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μακάριοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστίν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν)

See how you translated this phrase in [5:3](../05/03.md). Alternate translation: [God will bless] or [How good it is for]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ δεδιωγμένοι

the_‹ones› ˓having_been˒_persecuted

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the ones whom people persecute]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης

on_account righteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [because they act justly]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν

˱to˲_them (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστίν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν)

See how you translated the same clause in [5:3](../05/03.md). Alternate translation: [the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them] or [they belong in the kingdom of the heavens]
