Fare is an older word that is hard to define. The sentence you provided, written in more modern terms, would be "Be careful, or else the same thing will happen to you that happened to your ancestors." To fare is simply to perform a specific way. To fare well is to do well, to fare badly is to do badly. Does this make sense?

thank you I kind of understand. but how is it that the modern term is "or else the thing will "happen" to you , as opposed to, or else you "do" as your ancestors did
- Inglés (US)
It means how you are doing or performing for a period of time. Here are two other ways to think of that sentence:
Take heed lest you perform as your fathers performed.
Or in plain english: Listen and pay attention or else your life will be like your father's life.
The sentence is implying that your father's life was hard and if you don't be cautious and pay attention, then your life will be hard too.

oh! so it means that bad things (which befell on your ancestors) will happen to you because you do as your ancestors did?! So, it kinda includes both meaning (do, and, happen) in the same sentence?
