Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οἱ πλύνοντες τὰς στολὰς αὐτῶν
the_‹ones› washing the robes ˱of˲_them
Jesus is speaking as if people who repent of their sins and start living in a way that pleases God are literally washing their robes. See how you translated the similar expression in 7:14.

οἱ πλύνοντες τὰς στολὰς αὐτῶν
the_‹ones› washing the robes ˱of˲_them
Some ancient manuscripts read the ones washing their robes. ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “the ones doing his commandments.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.

ἔσται ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον τῆς ζωῆς
˱it˲_will_be the right ˱of˲_them to the tree ¬the ˱of˲_life
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning of this expression plainly. Alternate translation: “they will have the right to eat from the tree of life”
22:14 Blessed are those: In response to the connection between actions and ultimate results (22:12), the seventh blessing of Revelation (see also 1:3; 14:13; 16:15; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7) promises acceptance for those who wash their robes—those who have been purified by trusting in Christ and following him faithfully (3:5; 6:11; 7:9-10, 14; 19:13; Eph 5:26; Heb 10:22).
• enter through the gates of the city: See study note on Rev 21:24-25.
