Open translation for this passage
φαίνεται δὲ καὶ ὁ θεὸς παραινῶν ὁ ἐν Δωδώνῃ νέμειν ἐς ἱκέτας αἰδῶ.
The impersonal φαίνεται takes παραινῶν as a predicative participle with θεός as its understood/associated subject; ὁ ἐν Δωδώνῃ identifies the god. νέμειν is a complementary infinitive, with αἰδῶ as its object and ἐς ἱκέτας marking its intended recipients. The construction is somewhat elliptical, so the attachment of παραινῶν is marked medium confidence.

τοὺς μὴ σὺ κτεῖνε σιδήρῳ, μηδʼ ἱκέτας ἀδικεῖν.
The syntax is elliptical and textually difficult: κτεῖνε is a prohibitive imperative with τοὺς as its object, while μηδʼ ἱκέτας ἀδικεῖν is coordinated as a negative infinitival prohibition; the subject σὺ is explicit for emphasis. The accusative ἱκέτας may be the object of ἀδικεῖν or an accusative subject in an elliptical construction; object analysis is preferred.
