OK, it's bass clef, you aren't too good at technical terms, and you don't play the sax. With that information, let's try again.

Middle line of the bass stave is concert D. To play in the correct key, but an octave higher, you need to play bottom-line E on the clarinet - that's thumb and first finger.

Lowest "normal" note in tenor trombone music is concert E, on the first leger line below the bass stave. To play that, you need to play low F# on the clarinet.

If you are going to write it out, then the rules are:

1) Move everything down two lines or two spaces (so bass-clef-middle-line D becomes treble-clef-bottom-line E, and so on).

2) Add two sharps to, or subtract two flats from, the key signature.

If you use a notation program, then you can just input it to the computer as written for the trombone, and the program will transpose it for you. Well, any decent program will. Some of the free ones may not.
