I'd probably say:
Micheal ngaS ghommaj 'ach maQap. - Our group contained Micheal but we won.
numuv 'e' nIDpu' Micheal 'ach maQapta' - Micheal tried to stop us but we
won.
may'Hom luj 'ach Hub'eghlaHbe'bogh jagh puj HoHbe'mo' batlh Suq ghaH. - He
lost the minor battle but because he did not kill the weak enemy that
couldn't defend itself he acquired honor.
