And beware of lying.
وَإِيَّاكُمْ and beware of you
The 'and' is a prefix on a special warning word built from a standalone 'you' form, meaning 'beware, you all'. This is a fixed cautioning construction that uses the isolated pronoun to put the listener on guard, a frame English renders with 'beware of'.
عَصَمْنَا اللَّهُ وَإِّيَّاكُمْ مِنْ فِتْنَتِهِ عِصْمَةٌ يُدْخِلُنَا بِهَا فِي رَحْمَتِهِ
May Allah protect us and you from His trials with a protection that brings us by it into His mercy.
وَإِيَّاكُم and you
This fuses wa- 'and' with a standalone object pronoun, 'you (plural)'. Arabic uses this special detached pronoun to carry an object when it cannot attach directly to the verb, so it adds 'and you' to the 'us' already inside the verb: 'protect us and you'.
