I can't get Mr. Klingon to do it, but this must have been some sort
of machine look up.
The word "will" only appears in the definition of <lu', luq>.
If you mistyped "you" as "your" one of the options you would get is <ra'>.
My guess is that somehow they got:
Will = lu', luq
you(r) = ra'
marry = nay
me = jIH
Remove the apostrophes and "fix" the capitalization and punctuation
and you get the sentence presented.
