As far as we know, tlhob is only a verb, not a noun. {tlhob SuvwI'} for "the
arrior pleads" makes some sense.

}toy'wIlIj tlhob Qov joH 'je  chenmoHwI'
}Lord and Creator hear your servant's plea.

toy'wI'lI' - your servant

toy' (serve) + -wI' (one who does) + -lI' (your for a being capable of speech)

I'm not sure what the object of {tlhob} is, but the subject is definitely
the person or persons pleading.  The object could be the person being asked,
the thing requested, or the plea itself.

{je} no {'}

What you have comes out like: "Qov and the lord plead the servant ... creator"

Oh I see.  You wrote Qov for Qoy.

You could write something like ...

tlhoblI' toy'wI'lI'. yIQoy, chenmoHwI' joH je.

Note that the word {je} for "and" goes after, not between the nouns.

You could join these as a sentence as object too:

tlhoblI' toy'wI'lI' 'e' yIQoy
