The bloody what?  Is this supposed to be a general invective?  "The bloody 
computer stopped working again!!!!!"  This would best be taken care of with 
{jay'}.  {QapHa'qa' De'wI' jay'!}  See the addendum to TKD.

Or is this meant literally?  In this case, you *must* give some context.  
There is no known verb "be bloody."

I picked up the bloody knife.
taj'e' Dechbogh 'Iw vIwoH.

Literally, "I picked up the knife which blood surrounds."
