to feed
chortazo describes being fed until satisfied, and in two sayings the promised satisfaction of those who hunger.
The attested usage chiefly concerns people or birds being fed to the point of satisfaction, whether in crowds eating bread, a needy person seeking food, or birds feeding on flesh. In two future statements, it marks the promised satisfaction of those who hunger, including those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Promised satisfaction for those who hunger · rare
Both occurrences are future passive indicatives addressed to plural hearers. In Luke 6:21 the APB renders the clause “those who hunger now, for you will be satisfied”; in Matthew 5:6 the hunger and thirst are specifically “for righteousness,” followed by the same promised outcome.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB uses “fed,” “were satisfied,” “to be filled,” and “filled” in food-related clauses, and “will be satisfied” in the future sayings. These renderings indicate the clauses' overall presentation rather than a fixed one-to-one English equivalent.
