I would put the adverbial before the syntactic noun, though there's no 
absolute rule about it. Okrand has mostly done it this way:

*qIbDaq SuvwI''e' SoH Dun law' Hoch Dun puS
*/You would be the greatest warrior in the galaxy./ (ST5)

*batlh naDev SuDab
*/Welcome to this place (you inhabit here honorably)/ (PB)

*QIt ghaHvaD yIn Hegh je vIghojmoH 'ej 'oy' SIQ ghaH
*/And teach him life and death, the slow and painful way!/ (PB)

*vaj loghDaq lenglaHtaH Humanpu'
*/(thus humans can continue traveling in space)/ (SkyBox 99)

But he's also done it the other way:

*tlhIngan Dujmey law'qu' SommeyDaq batlh cha'lu'
*/emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon Starships (it has been 
displayed honorably on very many Klingon ships' hulls)/ (SkyBox SP1)
