tlhIngan Hol'e' mu'tlhegh tIq 'oHbej wot'e'.

>DIp DaDelDI', ngajnIS DelwI'. Hol poD  yIlo'. moHaq yIlo'Qo'.

moHaq DIlo'laHtaH, 'ach wIlo'nISbe'. tlhoy HoSghaj <Qo'> 'e' vIHar.

>pIj DIp vIDel vIneHDI', ngoQmu'tlheHHom naQ vIlo' vIneH,

As a point of style, you might want to consider using {vIneHchugh} here 
rather than {vIneHDI'}. The latter sounds odd to me here, like as though 
there were no logical connection between the two sentences.

>ngeDmo' 'ej  vIyajlaHmo', 'ach ghaytan chovnatlh'a'mey DIHutlhmo' qab

qech DaDel 'e' DanIDbogh vIyajbe'. qab nuq?

>qab chovnatlh: qaja'meH QIn vIlab (qaja' vIneH, 'ej Qu'vam 'oH QInvam  
>Qu''e'. DIp vIDel vIneH.)

qabbe'bej chovnatlhvam  'e' vIHar. mu'tlhegh <qaja'meH QIn vIlab> vIyajchu': 
"I send a message for me to talk to you".

>meqwIj DaleghlaH'a'?

ghobe', jIyajbe'taH. wej qech vIyajlaH. (Perhaps {yaj} rather than {legh} 
here; the latter seems too much like a literal translation of the English 
"do you see my reasoning?")

>ghaytan, <<qaja'meH QIn qalab>> laDlu'DI', mu'tlhegh <<QIn vIlab>>  Del 
><<qaja'meH>> net pIH.

ghobe'; jIHvaD cha' wIvmey lutu'lu'. (DIvI' Hol: I see the construction as 
ambiguous rather than expecting {qaja'meH} to necessarily modify one or the 
other.)
