Huh? No verb in this sentence. Translates as:
"The first daughter our three children."
>rupjajDaq qoSHeyDaj
Again, no verb. "On tax day her apparent birthday."

The purpose clause always comes first (6.2.4, p.64), so this needs
to be:
tlhIngan Hol qeqmeH meqvam vIlo'law'
tlhIngan Hol Daqeqmo' jIQuchqu'. Qagh puS Data'pu', 'ach bInIDtaH, 'ej
