It is best to translate "sons" with the same word your language would naturally use to refer to a human son or child.

Here "kingdom of heaven" refers to God's rule as king. This phrase is only in the book of Matthew. If possible, keep "heaven" in your translation. See how you translated this in [Matthew 5:3](./01.md). AT: "for God in heaven will be their king" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
