Good instincts.  You need to use the verb {bogh} "be born".  Okrand 
described how it's used on startrek.klingon:

   "I am 40 years old" would be expressed as: {loSmaH ben jIboghpu'}.
   This is "I was born 40 years ago." As is normal in Klingon sentences,
   the time element (in this case, {loSmaH ben} 40 years ago) comes
   first.
