pauci vestrum = a few of your ones [id est, your men]
ducentur = they will be led —it's future tense/futuri temporis est

Note, it's second person plural future passive indicative.
Nota, secundae personae pluralis numeri futuri temporis passivae vocis indicativi modi est.

Since you have been defeated, oh enemies, and captured by my soldiers, you will be sent to Rome. However, a few among you will be led into slavery.
