You want "paSqu' rep" with a space. I suppose that's as good as any idiom
for "it's late"; might be nice if we knew more certainly. What is
{qey'yoH}? I can't find it.
I wonder if "-beth" might transliterate better as "-bet"? Or "-beS"? I
like flagging proper nouns so people don't wear themselves out trying to
translate them, though.
>be' 'ach ra'bej.
Heh. Good use of -bej.
>SoSDaj legh be'Hom. <jIDoybe'. lutHom vIneH.>
Maybe "bej" instead of "legh" for "look"? "Be tired" is "Doy'", not "Doy."
><Qo'> puqbe' woH. <ra'DI' nIvwI' vaj batlh yIlob>
There may be some controversy, but I personally like using "Qo'" in the
sense you did here, of "no-I-won't." I prefer "ghobe'" only for answering
questions (though admittedly there's an implied one here). {moch} is
probably a better word than nIvwI' for this.

While the daughter returned to bed? Or when the daughter had returned to
bed? The latter would be better as {QongDaqDaq cheghpu'DI' puqbe'}.

The debris scattered itself? Hrm. There should at least be an aspect
suffix (the debris HAD scattered). Or the canonical "Dat DI tu'lu'."

Ow!
