τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλον ἔχων, ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα, ὃς εἰσελθόντι ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ, εὐθέως παρελθὼν ἀνάπεσε?
which and of you_all /a/_slave having plowing or shepherding who /having/_come_in out_of the field /will_be/_saying ˱to˲_him immediately /having/_come_up sit_down_‹to_eat›
Jesus is using the question form to teach his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “But none of you who had a servant who was out plowing or tending sheep would say to him when he came in from the field, ‘Come immediately and recline to eat’!”

τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλον ἔχων, ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα, ὃς εἰσελθόντι ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ, εὐθέως παρελθὼν ἀνάπεσε?
which and of you_all /a/_slave having plowing or shepherding who /having/_come_in out_of the field /will_be/_saying ˱to˲_him immediately /having/_come_up sit_down_‹to_eat›
Jesus is using an illustration that involves a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “Suppose one of you had a servant who was out plowing or tending sheep. You would not say to him when he came in from the field, ‘Come immediately and recline to eat.’”

εἰσελθόντι ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ, εὐθέως παρελθὼν ἀνάπεσε
/having/_come_in out_of the field /will_be/_saying ˱to˲_him immediately /having/_come_up sit_down_‹to_eat›
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “would tell him as soon as he came in from the field to sit right down and have his own supper”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
δοῦλον & ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα
/a/_slave & plowing or shepherding
It may be helpful to say explicitly that the land and sheep hypothetically belong to the person who is being asked to consider what he would do in this situation. Alternate translation: “a servant who had been out plowing your land or taking care of your sheep”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
ἀνάπεσε
sit_down_‹to_eat›
See how you translated this phrase in 5:29. Alternate translation: “and sit down to eat” or “and sit down and have your supper”
17:7-10 In Greco-Roman culture, servants existed to serve their masters faithfully. Faith (17:5-6) entails obedient submission to Christ and his commands.
