OET (OET-LV) But not he_will_be_saying to_him:
Prepare what I_may_dine, and having_girded_about be_serving unto_me, until I_may_eat and I_may_drink, and after these things you will_be_eating and will_be_drinking?
OET (OET-RV) No, you’d be saying, ‘Get the meal ready for me and then after you’ve changed, come and wait on me as I eat and drink, then after that you can eat and drink.’

οὐχὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ, ἑτοίμασον τί δειπνήσω, καὶ περιζωσάμενος διακόνει μοι, ἕως φάγω καὶ πίω; καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα φάγεσαι καὶ πίεσαι σύ?

Jesus uses a second question as a further teaching tool, to emphasize how a person actually would treat a servant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “he would certainly say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and then wrap your robe around your hips so you could serve me while I eat and drink, and after that you yourself can eat and drink’”

οὐχὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ, ἑτοίμασον τί δειπνήσω, καὶ περιζωσάμενος διακόνει μοι, ἕως φάγω καὶ πίω; καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα φάγεσαι καὶ πίεσαι σύ?

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “he would certainly tell the servant to prepare something for him to eat, and then to wrap his robe around his hips so he could serve him while he ate and drank, and that only after doing that the servant himself could eat and drink”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
περιζωσάμενος διακόνει μοι
/having/_girded_about /be/_serving ˱unto˲_me
See how you translated these phrases in 12:35. Alternate translation: “wrap the lower part of your robe around your hips so that you can serve me”
καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα
and and and after these_‹things›
Alternate translation: “and then, after you have served me”

The master is using a future statement to give permission. Alternate translation: “you may eat and drink” or “you may have your own supper”
17:7-10 In Greco-Roman culture, servants existed to serve their masters faithfully. Faith (17:5-6) entails obedient submission to Christ and his commands.
OET (OET-LV) But not he_will_be_saying to_him:
Prepare what I_may_dine, and having_girded_about be_serving unto_me, until I_may_eat and I_may_drink, and after these things you will_be_eating and will_be_drinking?
OET (OET-RV) No, you’d be saying, ‘Get the meal ready for me and then after you’ve changed, come and wait on me as I eat and drink, then after that you can eat and drink.’
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
