UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αὐτὸς ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ

he /having/_lifted_up the eyes ˱of˲_him

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

blessed_‹are›

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 yours is the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

See how you decided to translate the phrase the kingdom of God in 4:43. 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

yours is the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

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