There's a sudden rash of prefix errors lately. :-)  If you are making a
prediction ("The cards reveal that you will act with honor in my home...")
then your translation is okay.  If, however, you are giving a command
(imagine Warf talking to Alexander), it should be {juHwIjDaq batlh pevang}.

charghwI' has already pointed out the strangeness of {vang} here, and his
suggestion of using {-nIS} is also pretty good.
