ولقد وصينا الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم وإياكم أن اتقوا الله فبالله ؛

And We have certainly instructed those who were given the Scripture before you and yourselves to fear God;

وَإِيَّاكُمْ and yourselves

This is the bound wa- 'and' plus a special standalone object-pronoun form, iyya-kum 'you (plural)'. Arabic uses this iyya- carrier when an object pronoun cannot attach to a verb, so here it adds 'and yourselves' to the list of those instructed; the -kum addresses the group.
