Not quite. {ra'} is a verb, not a noun. The rest becomes "You
are asked, 'Be careful things.'" There are several problems
with your approach. We are not sure that {Dochmey} can be used
with abstracts. It may only apply to physical objects. We are
also uncertain about how to interpret {yep} as a transitive
verb. To dodge all this mess:
bIra'DI' yIyep. chaq bIra'Ha'DI' pabchu' reH 'e' DaqawnIS.
Be careful when you command someone. You must always remember
that perhaps when you screw up commanding them, they will
perfectly follow your orders.
