I recently saw a post that suggested that beginners should not try to
translate, but should make up sentences instead. jIQochbe'. The problem was
that I was happily imagining more of Star Trek III in Klingon. I was too far
along to stop trying, so here is my attempt. After my translation, you can
read the actual dialog. I don't know if Vulcans knew any Klingon at that
time, but I reasoned that if they did, they would speak Klingon well. So, I
tried to go for the meaning rather than an exact translation.

OK, what they REALLY said!
Kruge: I've come a long way for the power of Genesis and what do I find: a
weakling human, a Vulcan boy and a woman.
Sa'avik: My lord, we are suvivors of a doomed expedition. This planet will
destroy itself in hours. The Genesis experiment is a failure.
Kruge: A failure, the most powerful destructive force ever created. You will
tell me the secret of the Genesis torpedo.
Sa'avik: I have no knowledge.
Kruge: Then I hope pain is something you enjoy. --- I ordered no
interruptions.
K1: But, sir, federation star ship approaching.
Kruge: Bring me up.
Well, that's it!
