OET interlinear MAT 5:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

μακάριοι οἱ καθαροὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὅτι αὐτοὶ τὸν Θεὸν ὄψονται

blessed_‹are› the pure ¬the ˱in˲_heart because they ¬the God /will_be/_seeing

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 pure in heart will see God, 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 / idiom

οἱ καθαροὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ

the pure ¬the ˱in˲_heart

Here, the phrase pure in heart describes people who only think about and desire what is pure and good. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “those who are pure on the inside” or “the ones who think about and want what is pure”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ καθαροὶ

the pure

Matthew is using the adjective pure as a noun to mean pure 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 pure”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αὐτοὶ τὸν Θεὸν ὄψονται

they ¬the God /will_be/_seeing

Here, the clause they will see God indicates that these people will be with God, in his presence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they will be in God’s presence”
