drink the cup which I will drink
Here "cup" refers to what Jesus must suffer. Suffering is often referred to as drinking from a cup. Alternate translation: "drink the cup of suffering that I will drink" or "drink from the cup of suffering that I will drink from" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
endure the baptism with which I will be baptized
Here "baptism" and being baptized represent suffering. Just as water covers a person during baptism, suffering will overwhelm Jesus. Alternate translation: "endure the baptism of suffering which I will suffer" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
But who is to sit at my right hand ... is not mine to give
"But I am not the one who allows people to sit at my right hand or my left hand"
