OET (OET-LV) Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you, when you_were younger, you_were_girding yourself, and you_were_walking where you_were_wanting, but whenever you_may_age, you_will_be_stretching_out the hands of_you, and another will_be_girding you, and will_be_bringing where you_are_ not _wanting.
OET (OET-RV) “I can assure you that while you are young, you dress yourself and go wherever you want to go, but as you age, you’ll be stretching out your hands and others will dress you and will take you where you don’t want to go.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι
truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐζώννυες σεαυτὸν & ζώσει σε
˱you˲_/were/_girding yourself & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι ὅτε ἦς νεώτερος ἐζώννυες σεαυτὸν καὶ περιεπάτεις ὅπου ἤθελες ὅταν δὲ γηράσῃς ἐκτενεῖς τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ ἄλλος ζώσουσιν σε καὶ οἴσει ὅπου οὐ θέλεις)
Although gird means to put on a belt, Jesus uses it in this verse to refer to putting on clothes. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you used to dress yourself … will dress you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκτενεῖς τὰς χεῖράς σου
˱you˲_/will_be/_stretching_out the hands ˱of˲_you
Here, stretch out means to extend one’s hands away from one’s sides. This describes the posture of someone who is being crucified. It does not mean that the hands themselves stretch. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “you will extend your hands out from your sides”
21:18 you will stretch out your hands: Jesus was probably predicting crucifixion, which according to tradition is how Peter died.
• others will dress you (literally bind you): Jesus alludes to captivity, bondage, and even crucifixion—victims were often tied to the cross.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
