The bloody what? Is this supposed to be a general invective? "The bloody
computer stopped working again!!!!!" This would best be taken care of with
{jay'}. {QapHa'qa' De'wI' jay'!} See the addendum to TKD.
Or is this meant literally? In this case, you *must* give some context.
There is no known verb "be bloody."
I picked up the bloody knife.
taj'e' Dechbogh 'Iw vIwoH.
Literally, "I picked up the knife which blood surrounds."
