could anyone help me to parse this sentence?

'u' SepmeyDaq Sovbe'lu'bogh lenglu'meH => in order that one travels 
to the regions of the universe that one doesn't know

He ghoSlu'bogh = a route that one approaches

retlhDaq 'oHtaH = it "waits" in the area beside


it's not a sentence. what's wrong?
