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. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: [God will throw the sons of the kingdom out]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

The expression the sons of the kingdom refers to people who would normally belong in the kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [those who would normally be part of the kingdom] or [those who expect to be in the kingdom]

Although the term sons is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [the children]

Here, the phrase the outer darkness refers to the place of punishment in contrast to the kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly.

In Jesus’ culture, people would grind their teeth when they experienced anger, grief, and pain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to an action with comparable meaning or state the meaning of this action plainly. Alternate translation: [beating of breasts] or [grinding of the teeth in anger and pain]
