uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: βλέπετε Οὖν μή ἐπέλθῃ τό εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the thing that the prophets spoke about]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

μὴ ἐπέλθῃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: βλέπετε Οὖν μή ἐπέλθῃ τό εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις)

Paul is speaking of what the prophets spoke as if it were a living thing that could come upon his listeners. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that … may not happen to you]
