This is not correct. You have tried to add the verb suffix {-taH} to the noun
{DaHjaj}. I'm not sure why. Also, you seem to be trying to follow English
sentence order far too closely. Remember, this is Klingon! O-V-S!
Marc Okrand has told us how to say this: TKW 69.
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam
Today is a good day to die.
Literally, we find
Heghlu'meH
In order that someone does
QaQ jajvam
This day is good.
