Idiomatically. 

You could say {vIHtaH gho} “the hoop is moving” in order to indicate that the chance to do something is about to end.

You could indicate an impending deadline with {pel'aq ghorpa' mamejnIS} “before it breaks the shell…”

If you prefer to be literal, you could say {DaH mamejnISbe' mapaSchoH ‘ej nulon lupwI'} “if we don’t leave now we will be late and the bus will abandon us.”

You always get better answers when you ask specific questions instead of being vague and general.
