This is a command, and needs the imperative prefix {yI-}. "Go" in
this sense is usually translated {ghoS} "approach", and the object
of {ghoS} is itself the destination, so the locative suffix {-Daq}
is unnecessary.

Ick. Klingon doesn't do "am happy to" very well. This can perhaps
be rephrased without losing the thought too badly:
{qaHoHchugh jIQugh} "If I kill you, I am happy."
{jIQughmeH qaHoH} "I kill you in order to be happy."
Better to pick a different thought, I think:
{batlh qaHoH} "I will kill you with honor."
