KLBC: Bible translation

My Dear Grammarians:
My father and I are both studying Klingon. Having learned a little, we
wanted to try translating something. We started with the book of John. Would
you be so kind as to check our work?
The English is my own "Klingon-friendly" translation from the Greek.
John 1
{1} When it began, the word was, and the word was in the place
near God, and the word was identical to God.
taghDI' mu' tu'lu'taH
'ej joH'a' retlhDaq
'ej joH'a' nIbtaH mu'
{2} He was with God when it began.
joH'a'Daq ghaH tu'lu'taH taghDI'
{3} Through him everything was made; if he made it not, never was
anything made.
ghaHmo' Hoch chenchoHmoHlu'ta'
'oH chenchoHmoHbe'chugh ghaH not vay' chenchoHmoHlu'ta'
{4} Life was found in him, and for men the life acted as light.
ghaHDaq yIn tu'lu'ta'
'ej yoqpu' wovwI' Da' yIn
{5} The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not
[understood | overcome] it.
HurghwI'Daq boch yIn
'ach 'oH [yajbe' | jeybe'] HurghwI'
{6} From the place near God, a man was sent; he was named John.
joH'a' retlhDaqvo' yoq ngeHlu'
*yo'a'neS* pong ghaH
That's as far as we've gotten.
