In this verse those, they, their, and them refer to the Jewish people who do not believe in Jesus at first but become believers.

Paul speaks of the Jews becoming part of God’s people as if they were branches that could be grafted in to a tree. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “will be joined to God’s people … to join them to his people” or “will be joined to God’s people, like a branch is grafted into a tree … to join them to his people, like a farmer grafts a branch into a tree”

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will graft in”
