Be_gone, and he_is_going, and to_other:
Be_coming, and he_is_coming, and to_the slave of_me:
Do this, and he_is_doing it.

καὶ & ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπ’ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας
also & I /a/_man am under authority /being/_appointed having under myself soldiers
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “I also have someone in authority over me, and I have soldiers under me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὑπ’ ἐμαυτὸν
under myself
This is a spatial metaphor that describes the authority relationship. Alternate translation: “under my authority”

˱to˲_the slave ˱of˲_me
Here the word that ULT translates as servant is the typical word for a servant, as in 7:2 and 7:3. It is not the word that usually means “boy,” as in 7:7.
