Ummmm. You did better the first time. Your word order is very
scrambled. The main verb {ngabpu'} should immediately follow
{qatlh} so {jabbI'ID} becomes the SUBJECT and not the OBJECT.
Also, {vIngeHpu'bogh} should FOLLOW {jabbI'ID wa'DIch}, since
{jabbI'ID} is the OBJECT of that verb.

You need the pronoun {'e'} between {vIghoj} and {vInIDtaH}.
This is a "Sentence As Object" construction and {nID} is not
one of the exceptional verbs that does not require {'e'}, like
{neH} or any verb of speaking.

Your post didn't dissappear. Sometimes things just get a little
slow.
