Hæc justitia non plene implebitur, donec Deus sit omnia in omnibus: ideo hic possumus esurire, non saturari. Justitiæ lumen est misericordia, misericordiæ virtus justitia; hæc misericordia eget spiritu consilii, sine quo nemo circumspecte miseretur. Initium est sui misereri, finis est pro alio mori. Ordo enim est miserendi ut unusquisque incipiat a se. Finem Christus insinuat, pro peccatoribus mortuus ex misericordia.

TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Blessings of Jesus

The blessings of Jesus are called Beatitudes because the Vulgate (the Latin translation of the Bible) translates the Greek word for blessed as beati. No single word can capture all that Jesus is communicating with this term here. He is describing the special favor of God toward his people, both physically and spiritually, and the consequences of living within that favor.

The Beatitudes describe the lifestyle and character of a follower of Jesus. Jesus calls men and women to follow him as he proclaims the message of the Kingdom to Israel (see also Matt 11:6; 13:16; 16:17; 24:46). Those who are blessed have repented in response to the proclamation of the Kingdom (Matt 4:17-22). The Beatitudes are connected with Isa 61:1-3: The Spirit endows, leads to proclamation, and blesses the poor, the humble, and the righteous.

The NLT’s use of “God blesses” conveys the ideas of divine origin and approval (see Matt 25:34), fulfillment (see Matt 11:6; 13:16; 16:17), reversal (see Luke 1:1–2:52; 6:20-26), and the condition of obedience required in order to enjoy the blessings (see Pss 1:1, 3-6; 106:3; 112:1-2; 119:1-2; Prov 8:32; Isa 56:2). The blessings are inaugurated with the Messiah’s coming, with a confident hope that they will be enjoyed eternally and completely.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

μακάριοι οἱ πεινῶντες καὶ διψῶντες τὴν δικαιοσύνην, ὅτι αὐτοὶ χορτασθήσονται

blessed_‹are› the_‹ones› hungering and thirsting ¬the ˱for˲_righteousness because they /will_be_being/_satisfied

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 hungering and thirsting for righteousness will be fed, 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 / metaphor

οἱ πεινῶντες καὶ διψῶντες τὴν δικαιοσύνην, ὅτι αὐτοὶ χορτασθήσονται

the_‹ones› hungering and thirsting ¬the ˱for˲_righteousness because they /will_be_being/_satisfied

Here Jesus speaks of desiring to do what is right as if it were hungering and thirsting for righteousness. He also speaks of becoming righteous and doing what is right as if it were being fed. He speaks in this way to indicate that these people desire righteousness as much as they desire food and drink. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ones who desire righteousness as if it were food or drink, for they will receive it as if they were being fed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν δικαιοσύνην

¬the ˱for˲_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: [for what is just] or [to be righteous]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

αὐτοὶ χορτασθήσονται

they /will_be_being/_satisfied

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 feed them]
