First of all, I'd recommend against walking up to a fully armed
Klingon and asking him how to translate that. You might get hurt.
Second, if a Klingon scholar were to read it and seek to
translate it, he'd likely shrug and say:
ramqu' DaqlIj.
Otherwise, it reduces to the ridiculous:
DaqlIj 'oH DaqlIj'e'.
Which is why you might get hurt. It just sounds suspicious, like
you are jabbering just to gain my attention while your friends
sneak up behind me. This makes it important for me to dispatch
with you in time to prepare for their attack.
