Tell me at first, Who ,the hell, are you? Where do you think,in this world,you stand?

According to english terms, I feel my answer is correct. The sentence appears to be spoken in a angry mood, so, word 'hell' is also used by me.

First tell (me) what do you regard yourself?

Looks like someone is quite annoyed by someone else's behaviour and he is posing this question out of sheer annoyance and anger.

Tell me first,what do you think of yourself, what on earth you are?

A word to word translation does not gring out the essence of the sentence.That's why I've translated it a little broadly taking some liberty.This is a question,I think,a dignified powerful man would ask to an errant upstart disdainfully about his inflated self-worth or superiority complex.
