MSG (5-8)“I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon. This is how my Father shows who he is—when you produce grapes, when you mature as my disciples.

UTN uW Translation Notes:
ἐὰν μή τις μένῃ ἐν ἐμοί, ἐβλήθη ἔξω ὡς τὸ κλῆμα καὶ ἐξηράνθη, καὶ συνάγουσιν αὐτὰ καὶ εἰς τὸ πῦρ βάλλουσιν, καὶ καίεται
if not anyone /may_be/_remaining in me ˱he˲_/was/_cast out as the branch and /was/_withered and ˱they˲_/are/_gathering_together them and into the fire ˱they˲_/are/_casting and ˱it˲_/is_being/_burned
In the middle of this verse, Jesus changes from referring to the branch in a singular form to a plural form. If this change would be confusing in your language, you could change the singular forms into plural forms. Alternate translation: “If people do not remain in me, they are thrown outside like branches and are dried up, and they gather them into the fire, and they are burned up”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μένῃ ἐν ἐμοί
/may_be/_remaining in me
See how you translated remain in me in the previous two verses.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐβλήθη ἔξω ὡς τὸ κλῆμα καὶ ἐξηράνθη
˱he˲_/was/_cast out as the branch and /was/_withered
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the farmer throws him outside like a branch, and he dries up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ κλῆμα
the branch
Jesus uses branch to refer to someone who claims to be Jesus’ disciple, but is not. See how you translated the similar use of branch in 15:2.
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
καὶ συνάγουσιν αὐτὰ καὶ εἰς τὸ πῦρ βάλλουσιν, καὶ καίεται
and and ˱they˲_/are/_gathering_together them and into the fire ˱they˲_/are/_casting and ˱it˲_/is_being/_burned
The first they in this verse refers to an indefinite subject, but the second they refers to the object. If this would be confusing in your language, you could translate them differently. Alternate translation: “and some helpers gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned up” or “and someone gathers them and throws them into the fire, and those branches are burned up”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καίεται
˱it˲_/is_being/_burned
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the fire burns them up”
