OET (OET-LV) Slaves to_be_being_subjected to_^their_own masters in all things, to_be well_pleasing, not speaking_against,
OET (OET-RV) Slaves need to conform to their master’s commands, aiming to please. They shouldn’t speak against their masters

δούλους ἰδίοις δεσπόταις ὑποτάσσεσθαι
slaves ˱to˲_/their/_own masters /to_be/_being_subjected
As in 2:2 and 2:3, Paul is leaving out a word that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be clearer in your language, you could apply the verbal idea from verse 6 to here, which is “urge” or “exhort.” Alternate translation: “Exhort slaves to be subject to their own masters” or “Exhort slaves to obey their own masters”
ἐν πᾶσιν
in all_‹things›
Alternate translation: “in every situation” or “always”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εὐαρέστους εἶναι
well_pleasing to_be
The implication is that the slaves are to be pleasing to their masters. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “to please their masters” or “to satisfy their masters”
2:1-15 Wholesome teaching was especially urgent on account of the false teachers, who had wreaked havoc on “whole families” (1:11). In 2:1-10, Paul addresses different groups within the household of faith, showing his concern for the public testimony of the church (2:5, 8, 10; see also 1 Tim 5:1–6:2). Paul then elaborates on the coming of Christ (Titus 2:11-14) before giving a direct charge to Titus (2:15).

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.
