OET (OET-LV) And having_heard it the centurion, having_approached to_the commander, he_reported saying:
What are_you_going to_be_doing?
For/Because the this man is a_Ɽōmaios.
OET (OET-RV) When he heard that, the centurion went to the commander and reported, “How are we going to handle this, because this man is a Roman citizen?”

τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν?
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης προσελθών τῷ χιλιάρχῳ ἀπήγγειλεν λέγων Τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν ὁ Γάρ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος Ῥωμαῖος ἐστίν)
The centurion is using the question form to warn the commander that he should not have Paul whipped. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not be doing this!]

τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν?
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης προσελθών τῷ χιλιάρχῳ ἀπήγγειλεν λέγων Τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν ὁ Γάρ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος Ῥωμαῖος ἐστίν)
The centurion is speaking of the commander, one person who was involved in having Paul whipped, to mean everyone who was involved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [We should not be doing this!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ῥωμαῖός
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης προσελθών τῷ χιλιάρχῳ ἀπήγγειλεν λέγων Τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν ὁ Γάρ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος Ῥωμαῖος ἐστίν)
As in the previous verse, here the term Roman implicitly indicates Roman citizenship. Alternate translation: [a Roman citizen]
22:25-29 Paul claimed his status as a Roman citizen at this critical time when he was about to be tortured to make him confess his supposed crime. Roman citizenship was a valuable asset, and claiming it falsely was a capital offense. Its principal benefits were the prohibition of scourging and the right to appeal to the emperor (25:11). The commander was frightened at having nearly violated Roman law (cp. 16:35-39).
