jIQochbe' jIH je.  Two minor corrections:

Use the prefix bI- "you [do something]" if there's no object; use {Da-} 
"you [do something to] him/her/it/them" if there is an object.

Use the negative suffix {-Qo'} "don't!" with the imperative prefixes; use 
{-be'} "not" elsewhere.

E.g.:

   bIlaDbe'
   You don't read. You are not reading. (statement, no object)

   DalaDbe'
   You don't read it. You are not reading it. (statement, object)

   yIlaDQo'
   Don't read! (imperative, no object)
   Don't read it! (imperative, object)

So, putting this all together:

   bIjangchugh, QIn naQ yIpolQo'!
