OET (OET-LV) For/Because also I am a_man being_appointed under authority, having soldiers under myself, and I_am_saying to_this one:
Be_gone, and he_is_going, and to_other:
Be_coming, and he_is_coming, and to_the slave of_me:
Do this, and he_is_doing it.
OET (OET-RV) because I’m appointed under authority and have other soldiers under me. When I tell one of them to go, he goes, and when I tell one to come, he comes, and when I tell my slave to do something, he does it.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καὶ & ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπ’ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας
also & I /a/_man am under authority /being/_appointed having under myself soldiers
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “I also have someone in authority over me, and I have soldiers under me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὑπ’ ἐμαυτὸν
under myself
This is a spatial metaphor that describes the authority relationship. Alternate translation: “under my authority”
τῷ δούλῳ μου
˱to˲_the slave ˱of˲_me
Here the word that ULT translates as servant is the typical word for a servant, as in 7:2 and 7:3. It is not the word that usually means “boy,” as in 7:7.
7:8 the authority of my superior officers: The Roman army was renowned for its organization and discipline. The centurion recognized authority when he saw it in Jesus’ words and actions.

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.
