OET (OET-LV) And you also, little_child, will_be_being_called the_prophet of_the_highest:

OET (OET-RV) And you too my little child, will be called a prophet of the highest one—

καὶ σὺ δέ, παιδίον
also you and little_child
Zechariah uses this phrase to begin his direct address to his son. In your translation, you could indicate the change from Zechariah talking about God to Zechariah talking to John in the way that is most appropriate and natural in your language. It may be clearest to indicate this change explicitly. Alternate translation: [Then Zechariah said to his son John, ‘And as for you, my child’]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
προφήτης & κληθήσῃ
/the/_prophet & /will_be_being/_called
As in 1:32, to be called is an idiom that means “to be.” Review the note there if that would be helpful. Zechariah is not saying that John will simply have the reputation of being a prophet. Alternate translation: [you … will be a prophet]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
προφήτης & κληθήσῃ
/the/_prophet & /will_be_being/_called
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [will be a prophet]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
Ὑψίστου
˱of˲_/the/_Highest
See how you translated the expression the Most High in 1:32. Review the note there if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: [of the Most High God]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
προπορεύσῃ & ἐνώπιον Κυρίου
˱you˲_/will_be/_going_before & before /the/_Lord
As in 1:17, to go before is an idiom that indicates that before the Lord comes, John will announce to the people that the Lord is going to come to them. Alternate translation: [you will announce that the Lord is coming,]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἑτοιμάσαι ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ
/to/_prepare /the/_ways ˱of˲_him
Zechariah is using the imagery of paths to indicate that John will prepare the people to listen to the Lord’s message and believe it. Alternate translation: [to get the people ready for him]
1:67-79 This second hymn of the birth narrative is called the Benedictus (“Blessed” or “Praise”), from the first word of the Latin translation. The hymn expects God’s Messiah to deliver the Israelites from their enemies. Salvation entails physical deliverance and forgiveness of sins (1:77).

OET (OET-RV) And you too my little child, will be called a prophet of the highest one—
⇔ going before the master to prepare his paths,
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.
