"I make you rulers in God's kingdom" (UDB) or "I give you authority to rule in the kingdom" or "I will make you kings"

even as my Father has given a kingdom to me

"just as my Father gave me authority to rule as king in his kingdom"

"Sit on thrones" is a metonym for "do the work of kings." This means "you will work as kings" or "you will do the work of kings." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

thrones

This can be translated as "kings' chairs" or "chairs made for kings."
