Qu'vatlh! I thought the mystery was going to be solved!
I've always heard this line as {bIyIntaH 'e' Da(???)be'} and I think the
intended
meaning is something like 'You don't (deserve?) to continue living'. The
questionable
part sounds something like *{qup}, but a verb for 'to deserve' is unattested, as
far as I know.
