}jaw, HeSmey yIlIj
}(Lord, forgive our sins)
1. Our sins is {HeSmeymaj}.
2. plural sins requires plural object imperative prefix. {tIlIj}. I
clearly didn't hit you hard enough with the painstick for this last time.

}
}Hoch chavmey mah ngaSchu'bogh paq'e' tu'lu' poSchoHDI' tagh yojmaj
}(There is a book wich contain all our achievements. Our judgment will begin
as soos as the book is opened)
{chavmeymaj} for "our achievements"
}ba'choHpu'DI' noHwI' paq'e' laDlu'chu'. bIjDaj popDaj joq Hev Hoch
}(When the judge has been seated, they will read the book. Everyone will
receive his reward or punishment)
Any reason you emphasized {paq'e'} here? I hope you weren't just copying
the {-'e'} down from the sentence above.
}nuq jIjatlh. jIH QaH 'Iv jItoDlaHbe'chugh
}(What I will say? Who will help me if I cannot save myself)
Don't forget verb prefixes. "Who will help me?" The subject is third
person and the object is me. {jIH muQaH 'Iv} "who will help ME?"
You've missed a suffix out, too, {'egh} meaning oneself.
{jItoD'eghlaHbe'chugh} "if I cannot help myelf.
}quv qa'pu' toDbogh joH'a', HItoD
}(Great Lord, who saves the honored spirits, save me)
Remeber that a stative verbs modifying a nouns follows the noun. {qa'pu' quv}
Perhaps {toDtaHbogh} I think that he saves the honoured spirits not just
once, but in the past and future as well, qar'a'?
}Dochvam yIqaw' quv joHwI': wo' jItoytaHvIS jIHegh. qa'wI' yIpuQ
}(Rebember this, my honored Lord: I'll die serving the empire. Enrich my spirit)
Again, {joHwI' quv}. Check the prefix on {toy'}.
I see how you understood {puQ} - "be fed up" as "enrich," but "be fed up"
happens to be an Engish idiom meaning "have reached the limit of tolerance."
The verb you ant is {je'} as in {qa' wIje'meH maSuv}.
}QaghmeylIj tIchID yIyoH. Hovmey DIvan
Did you mean to change it from {Davan} to {DIvan}? The change produces
correct grammar, just might not have been what you meant.
