Can someone help to translate this?

The definition of blessing is to speak well of someone, to impart good favor and to endow prosperity on someone. We use the word "blessing" as a way to make someone happy. Even in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Jesus starts each sentence with "Blessed are they that..." (KJV). The word "blessed" is defined as "to be well off, happy, fortunate." Each person described in Matthew 5, from a worldly perspective, is not someone that seems highly favored or happy today. Who wants to "mourn, be poor in spirit, be meek or be persecuted?"
