πᾶσα βασιλεία ἐφ’ ἑαυτὴν διαμερισθεῖσα ἐρημοῦται

every kingdom against itself /having_been/_divided /is_being/_desolated

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active verbs to express the ideas behind the two passive verb forms divided and is made desolate. Alternate translation: [If the people of a kingdom fight among themselves, they will destroy their own kingdom]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

βασιλεία

kingdom

Jesus uses the term kingdom to refer to the people who live in it. Alternate translation: [the people of a kingdom]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
