story

The story is in the form of a parable. See how you translated story in 34:01. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables)

The kingdom of God is like yeast

The kingdom of God is spoken of as if it were yeast that is mixed into dough. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

yeast

This can also be translated as: “leaven” or “the little bit of leaven.” It is added to bread dough to make it rise. A little bit of yeast mixed into a large amount of dough makes the whole batch of dough rise. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

bread dough

This is a mixture of flour and liquid that can be shaped and baked into bread. If you do not have words for dough or flour, you can borrow a word for flour or call it ground-up grain.

it spreads throughout the dough

This could mean every part of the dough has yeast in it or the yeast grows throughout all the dough.
