This is an intriguing puzzle. The other Klingon lines are pretty well
spoken, good tlhIngan Hol lines with a strong relationship to the
subtitles. It's reasonable to expect that this line is the same.
I listened to the Grokh line several more times based on your description
above, and what I hear is very similar:
"ko noytlah pevil kuhpla hohwihlaha"
one possibility that I came up with is:
{qo' nuwavlaH, pe'vIl wItlhaplaH! qo' wIwavHa'!}
"a world they can devide, we can take by force! we will make whole [said]
world!"
Not 100% satisfying, but might be a starting point for someone to take further.
