This should be either {vIbelmoHlu'}, or more simply, just plain {jIbel}.
The verb {bel} already has the "be pleased" meaning. You seem to have
gotten caught up in a pattern where you think the {-lu'} suffix makes a
verb turn into a passive form, like {Soplu'} "it is eaten". If you're
having trouble like that, it's worth focusing on the "one eats it" way
of translating it for a while.
