There are two errors:

The first character of the third word should be produced in the font with a
capital K, not a capital Q.  The letters Q and q represent different sounds.

Delete the second character in the sixth word.  In the KLI font, the capital
letter C represents the Klingon sound ch.  The capital letter H represents
the Klingon sound H, which is not part of ch.

Furthermore, I would get rid of the little triangle at the end.  It's just
one sentence; who needs punctuation?  This system is totally unofficial
anyway.

Here is how the sentence would be produced using the KLI font:

NITEB QOB KAD JUP 'E' CAW'BE' SUVWI'
