Well, now you have chosen, and later you cannot say that nobody warned you.

I don't advise a direct translation.

"Now, yes, you have chosen etc.", doesn't sound natural English, hence my suggestion which is the way this kind of sentiment would be expressed.

Now you have indeed made your choic and you will not be allowed to say nobody warned you afterwards.

The order of terms needs a little change in English in order to make sense.

Now, yes, you have chosen, and afterwards you will not be able to say that no one warned you.

I think that's the best.
It stays true to the souce text.

não poderás=you will not be able

The "now, yes" is used for emphasis.
