OET (OET-RV) I’ll go and get some food so that you can refresh yourselves before you leave, since you’ve come to your slave.”

וְאֶקְחָ֨ה
and,bring
Alternate translation: “I will also get you” or “Let me also get you”
פַת
piece
Saying a morsel was a polite way of showing generosity. Make sure your translation does not sound here like Abraham was only offering the men a tiny bit of bread; he was going to give them plenty of food to eat. Alternate translation: “a little bit of”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לֶ֜חֶם
food/grain/bread
Since bread was a common staple of their diet, it is often used in the Bible to refer to food in general. Alternate translation: “bread for you to eat.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְסַעֲד֤וּ לִבְּכֶם֙
and,refresh heart_of,yourselves
Notice that the pronouns you and your are plural in this quote in the Hebrew text and refer to Abraham’s three guests. Alternate translation: “Then you can be refreshed”
אַחַ֣ר תַּעֲבֹ֔רוּ

Alternate translation: “and then continue on your way,” or “before you continue traveling,”

that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so come on/upon servant,your_all's
For some languages it may be more natural to put this clause at the beginning of this verse and say, “Since you are here with me, let me also bring some food …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “now that you have come to me.” or “since you are here with me.”
Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

Alternate translation: “do what you have suggested.”
18:1-15 The Lord’s visit to Abraham set the time for Isaac’s birth. The three visitors were probably the Lord and two angels (see study note on 16:7). Abraham’s peaceful and generous reception of the visitors contrasts sharply with the chaos and corruption of Sodom (ch 19). Eating together was important in making or confirming covenants; when God was ready to fulfill the covenant promise, he came in person to share a meal with Abraham. Fellowship with God has always been signified by a communal meal (see Exod 24:9-11; Matt 26:17-30 // Luke 22:7-38; Acts 2:42; 1 Cor 11:20-34).
