OET interlinear MAT 5:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

μακάριοι οἱ ἐλεήμονες, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθήσονται

blessed_‹are› the merciful because they /will_be_being/_shown_mercy

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 merciful will obtain mercy, 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 / nominaladj

οἱ ἐλεήμονες

the merciful

Matthew is using the adjective merciful as a noun to mean merciful people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “merciful people”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθήσονται

they /will_be_being/_shown_mercy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of mercy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “God will act mercifully to them”
