Is this meant as one sentence? Kinda like a "No admittance to unauthorized
personnel" sign?
The word for "work" is {vum}, not {vom}. And the "if" suffix is {-chugh}, not
{-churgh}. Otherwise the first line is pretty good.
The second poses a problem, though. You have really written, "You do not
want." Think about it: what exactly does "You are not welcome here" mean? In
the case of a sign on a door, it means, "Do not enter," or "You are not
allowed to enter," or even "Go away!" Now, can you rework your sentence to
express this?
