# I say to you
|
|
|
|
This adds emphasis to what Jesus says next.

|
|
# to you
|
|
|
|
Here "you" is plural. Jesus was speaking to the religious leaders and also to the Jewish people in general. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

# the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation
|
|
|
|
Here "kingdom of God" refers to God's rule as king. This can be stated in active form. AT: "God will take his kingdom away from you and will give it to a nation" or "God will reject you, the Jewish people, and he will be king over people from other nations" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# will be taken away from you
|
|
|
|
No one is sure if Jesus meant that God would someday give the kingdom back or that he would never give it back. Your translation should allow both possible understandings.

# that produces its fruits
|
|
|
|
"Fruits" here is a metaphor for "results" or outcome." AT: "that produces good results" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
