OET (OET-LV) Blessed are the those slaves, whom the master having_come, will_be_finding watching.
Truly, I_am_saying to_you_all that he_will_be_girding_about himself and will_be_reclining them, and having_come_up, he_will_be_serving unto_them.
OET (OET-RV) The master would bless the slaves that are ready, watching for when he arrives. I can assure you that he’ll dress himself and then he’ll seat them on couches and come and serve them there himself.

Alternate translation: “How good it will be for”
οὓς ἐλθὼν, ὁ Κύριος εὑρήσει γρηγοροῦντας
whom /having/_come the Lord /will_be/_finding watching
Alternate translation: “whose master finds them waiting for him when he returns” or “who are ready when the master returns”
ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν
truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples. Alternate translation: “I can assure you”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
παρελθὼν, διακονήσει αὐτοῖς
/having/_come_up ˱he˲_/will_be/_serving ˱unto˲_them
The implication is that, because the servants were faithful in their tasks and they were ready to serve their master when he arrived, the master will now reward them by serving them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “he will come and serve them as a reward”
12:37 he himself will seat them: In Middle Eastern culture, the master would never serve his servants! Jesus redefined the role of the master by serving his disciples, giving himself for them, and meeting all their needs (see 22:24-27).
• An apron was typical garb for a servant.

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