Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
μακάριοι οἱ πενθοῦντες, ὅτι αὐτοὶ παρακληθήσονται
blessed_‹are› the_‹ones› mourning because they /will_be_being/_comforted
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 ones mourning will be comforted, so they are blessed]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
μακάριοι
blessed_‹are›
See how you translated this phrase in 5:3. Alternate translation: [God will bless] or [How good it is for]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
αὐτοὶ παρακληθήσονται
they /will_be_being/_comforted
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: [God will comfort them]
5:4 Those who mourn were those who lamented the spiritual and national condition of Israel (see 23:37-39; Isa 61:2-3; Joel 1:8-13; 2:12-13, 18-19; Rom 9:1-5; 1 Cor 5:2; Jas 4:9). Personal grief, whether caused by sin or tragedy, may also be in view (Mark 16:10; Rev 18:11, 19).
• will be comforted: The passive voice is used out of reverence for the holy name of God; the phrase could also be rendered God will comfort them (see also Matt 5:6-7, 9). Comfort will accompany the fulfillment of all that God has promised (Isa 40:1-2; 61:2-3).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
