Όπως είχα προφητεύσει/ Όπως είχα προβλέψει/Όπως έλεγε η προφητεία /
foretell=προφητεύω, μαντεύω, προβλέπω
prophecy=προφητεία
Because in Greek both the verb and the noun have the same root, you cannot translate it word for word (Όπως είχε προφητεύσει η προφητεία) , and it is not possible to say "όπως μάντεψε η προφητεία" either. Therefore, I would either use the verb "λέω"=say, tell, or, preferably, if you can use the first person singular, omit the noun and use only the verb: Όπως είχα προφητεύσει = As I had prophesised,
or
Όπως είχα προβλέψει=foretold, foreseen.
Hope this helps
