Let's see. This should be a good practise for my Klingon...

You have your very own Klingon? Wow!

tlhIngan Duj 'oHchugh Dujvam Dochvam chotlhobta'mo' SIbI' qaHoHbej.

(If this vessel was a Klingon vessel, I would centainly kill you 
immediately
because you asked my this.)

How about that? The most complicated Klingon sentence I ever wrote on this
list. Is it at least understandable? ;-)

While I like ghunchu'wI''s approach better, you should be congratulated on 
your effort. Klingon doesn't have an "irrealis", as ghunchu'wI' has already 
pointed out, so there's a "gotcha" that got you, but the overall meaning of 
your intent came through and what you wrote is not grammatically wrong, 
except for the missing {-'e'} suffix on {Dujvam}. Remember that the "to be" 
construction is {X 'oH Y'e'}.

Yet another approach:

naDev SoHmo' chomawDI' bIyInlaH, 'ach tlhIngan DujDaq bIjatlhHa'chugh vaj 
bIHegh!

Qapla'
