What's wrong is that it really should be {DaH maHvaD Ha'DIbaHlIj tI'ang}.  I'd 
also (grudgingly) accept {DaH Ha'DIbaHlIj gho'ang}.

Whether {Ha'DIbaH} is made explicitly plural is irrelevant.  There are 
obviously going to be more than one (in the context), otherwise one would not 
bother even uttering this sentence.  What I've changed, though is the verb 
prefixes.  What you had written came out more like "Show me your meats to us 
now."
