Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἱ & υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας ἐκβληθήσονται
the & sons ˱of˲_the kingdom /will_be_being/_cast_out
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
οἱ & υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας
the & sons ˱of˲_the kingdom
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”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
οἱ & υἱοὶ
the & sons
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”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον
into the darkness the outer
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. If possible, preserve the idea of darkness. Alternate translation: “into the darkness of hell” or “into the dark place of punishment”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον
the darkness the outer
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of darkness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the dark place outside”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων
¬the ¬the gnashing ¬the ˱of˲_teeth
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”
8:5-13 Jesus once again ministered to the marginalized or ostracized. The centurion was a Gentile soldier, and ministry to him would have evoked strong resentment from both the nationalistic and the separatist wings of Jewish society.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
