André, here's my transcription of the scene:
WAR COUNCIL ON KRONOS ONE AFTER GORKON'S ASSASSINATION:
KERLA: DIHIvlaHtaHvIS DaH DIHIvnIS!
(Attack them now, while we still can!)
KHMARR: DIHIvbe'ch[ugh] qo'chajDaq toy'wI''a' DImoj. (?)
(Attack or be slaves in their world.)
GROKH: Qo'! pe'vIl DIHIvlaH, <QaplaH> tlhob <be---HaH > (??)
<QaplaH <pla'> pe'vIl <or: Qapla' ghobe' laH'a'> (??)
(We can take whole by force, what they propose to divide.)
AZETBUR: ghu'maj Dayajbe'law', Sa'.
(untranslated)
{"You don't seem to grasp our situation, General.}
AZETBUR: notlh veS... 'a tugh manotlhchoH je maH.
(War is obsolete, General...as we are in danger of becoming.)
{War is...obsolete. As we are in danger of becoming.}
KERLA: QamvIS Hegh qaq law' torvIS yIn qaq puS.
("Better to die on our feet than live on our knees.")
AZETBUR: 'e' neHbe' vavwI'. [or: vavoy?]
(That wasn't what my father wanted.)
CHANG: Your father was killed for what he wanted. [in English!]
