Only if you try to duplicate the English syntax and force it all into one
sentence. Alternatives include:
A Q law' B Q puS. qarbe' mu'tlheghvam.
A Q law' B Q puS. teHbe' ngoDvam.
A Q law' B Q puS. jIvItbe'.
nuqjatlh?! A Q law' B Q puS bIja''a'? bIlughbe'!
I admit these are awkward, but then that was my point.
