There are some other things to note about these sentences.
We have canon "Qo'noSDaq vay' vISovbe'" (I don't know anybody on Kronos)
which implies that Klingon doesn't use double-negatives. I'd expect "pagh
vIngev" here.
I'd suggest "'el" instead of "ghoS".

"juHDaq jIjaH". MAYBE "juH vIjaH", but that's a matter of some debate. :)
