Both verbs are present, subjuctive. 'Operiat' means he covers, buries, closes while 'opprimat' means he overwhelms, suppresses. The variation occurs in the phrase: 'et fac ne quemquam nostrum dies illa operiat/opprimat imparatum' which means And take action, lest that day overwhelm whichever of us is unprepared. So, 'opprimat' makes more sense in the context.
