OET (OET-RV) but each tree is recognised by the fruit it produces. You don’t pick figs thistles or pick grapes from thorn bushes.
OET-LV For/Because each tree is_being_known by its own fruit.
For/Because they_are_ not _gathering figs from thorns, nor are_they_picking grapes from a_thorn_bush.
SR-GNT Ἕκαστον γὰρ δένδρον ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου καρποῦ γινώσκεται. Οὐ γὰρ ἐξ ἀκανθῶν συλλέγουσιν σῦκα, οὐδὲ ἐκ βάτου σταφυλὴν τρυγῶσιν. ‡

ULT For each tree is known by its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from a thornbush, nor do they gather grapes from a briar bush.
UST You can tell what a person is like inside by the things that they do. Then you know what to expect from them. You would not look for kindness or good advice from someone who does bad things. That would be like looking for figs on a thornbush or looking for grapes on a bramble vine.
BSB For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
BLB For each tree is known by its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
AICNT “[For][fn] Each tree is known by its [own][fn] fruit; for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush.

FBV You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest grapes from brambles.
TCNT Each tree is known by its own fruit. People do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush.
T4T Just like you can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they conduct their lives. For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs, no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes, no one can pick grapes from bramble bushes.
LEB for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorn plants, nor are grapes harvested from thorn bushes.
BBE For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants.

LUT Ein jeglicher Baum wird an seiner eigenen Frucht erkannt. Denn man lieset nicht Feigen von den Dornen auch so lieset man nicht Trauben von den Hecken.
(Ein jeglicher Baum becomes at his eigenen Frucht erkannt. Because man lieset not Feigen from the Dornen also so lieset man not Trauben from the Hecken.)
CLV Unaquæque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur. Neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus: neque de rubo vindemiant uvam.[fn]
(Unaquæque because arbor about fructu his_own cognoscitur. Neque because about spinis colligunt ficus: neque about rubo vindemiant uvam.)
6.44 Unaquæque enim arbor. Mali suo fructu noscuntur, dum bonos opprimunt, et Deum si non verbis, blasphemant factis: et maxime per impatientiam dignoscuntur in tempore adversitatis. Jejunia enim et oratio, et hujusmodi sunt simulatis ut et bonis: sed non debent oves pelles suas deponere, etiam si aliquando lupi eis se contegant. Cognoscitur. Non a veste, sed ab operibus quæ fiunt ab eis, cognoscuntur. Quia ut spina non facit uvam, sic bona arbor bonum, mala malum, et non e converso. Neque enim de spinis. Non de spinis, id est sollicitudinibus mundi, ficus, id est dulcedo resurrectionis, neque de rubo, id est punctione vitiorum, uva, id est fructus animæ. Quæ sicut uva proxima terrenis, corrumpitur, in superioribus maturatur. Vel de carne quæ generat spinas et tribulos, non vindemiamus Christum, qui sicut uva pependit in ligno. Spina et rubus, hæreticis, a quibus nullus sapientium sanctitatem vel virtutem poterit invenire, sed conscindunt et cruentant approximantes. Vel spinæ et rubi, curæ sæculi et punctiones vitiorum. Uva et ficus, dulcedo novæ conversationis quam Christus in nobis esurit, et fervor dilectionis qui lætificat cor hominis. Non de spinis et rubis uva vel ficus, quia mens adhuc hominis veteris pressa consuetudine, potest quidem simulare, sed non ferre fructum novi hominis. Quod si quando facta vel dicta malorum prosunt bonis, non hoc faciunt mali, sed fit de illis consilio Dei.
6.44 Unaquæque because arbor.

UGNT ἕκαστον γὰρ δένδρον ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου καρποῦ γινώσκεται. οὐ γὰρ ἐξ ἀκανθῶν συλλέγουσιν σῦκα, οὐδὲ ἐκ βάτου σταφυλὴν τρυγῶσιν.

6:17-49 The central theme of Jesus’ great sermon is that an authentic life of righteousness accompanies repentance and acceptance into God’s Kingdom.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἕκαστον & δένδρον ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου καρποῦ γινώσκεται
each & tree by its own fruit /is_being/_known
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who does the action. Alternate translation: “people recognize a tree by the fruit that it bears”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἕκαστον & δένδρον ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου καρποῦ γινώσκεται
each & tree by its own fruit /is_being/_known
This phrase is a metaphor. Alternate translation: “each person’s words and actions reveal his or her character”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
οὐ γὰρ ἐξ ἀκανθῶν συλλέγουσιν σῦκα, οὐδὲ ἐκ βάτου σταφυλὴν τρυγῶσιν
not for from thorns ˱they˲_/are/_gathering figs nor from /a/_thorn_bush grapes ˱they˲_/are/_picking
These two phrases mean the same thing. Jesus is using repetition for emphasis and to capture the interest of his listeners. You do not need to put both phrases in your translation if that might be confusing for your readers. Instead, you could combine them into a single general expression. Alternate translation: “people do not collect the kind of fruit that grows on a tree or a vine from a small, thorny bush”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ἀκανθῶν
thorns
The word thornbush refers to a kind of plant that has sharp protective spines on its stem. If your readers would not know what a thornbush is, in your translation you could use the name of another plant that does not produce edible fruit.
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
βάτου
/a/_thorn_bush
The term briar bush refers to a kind of plant that has thorny stems growing in dense clusters. If your readers would not know what a briar bush is, in your translation you could use the name of another plant that does not produce edible fruit.
