OET (OET-LV) But whenever you_may_be_called, having_been_gone sit_down in the last place, in_order_that whenever the one having_invited you may_come he_will_be_saying to_you:
Friend, move_up higher.
Then glory will_be to_you before all the ones reclining with_you.
OET (OET-RV) Rather, when you’re invited, sit down at the end so that the host might come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better spot.’ Then you’ll be honoured in front of all the other guests
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὅταν κληθῇς
whenever ˱you˲_/may_be/_called
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who does the action. Alternate translation: “when someone invites you to a feast”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἀνάπεσε
sit_down
See how you translated this phrase in 14:8. Alternate translation: “take your place at the table”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰς τὸν ἔσχατον τόπον
in the last place
See how you translated this phrase in 14:9. Alternate translation: “among the least important people”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ὅταν ἔλθῃ ὁ κεκληκώς σε
whenever whenever /may/_come the_‹one› /having/_invited you
In this culture, the host would come into the banqueting hall after all the guests were seated. If the practice is different in your culture, you could use a general expression in your translation here. Alternate translation: “when the person who invited you sees where you are sitting”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
προσανάβηθι ἀνώτερον
move_up higher
The host speaks of the more important places at the feast being higher than the less important ones. Alternate translation: “move to a seat for a more important person”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔσται σοι δόξα
will_be ˱to˲_you glory
This is an idiom. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state who would make this happen. Alternate translation: “your host will honor you”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐνώπιον
before
Here, the word before means “in front of” or “in the presence of.” Alternate translation: “in the presence of all the other guests” or “as all the other guests are watching”

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.
