I can't understand how from the klingon sentence, we come to the given fse one; all I get is "one day which precedes the hot period of time, year of kahless 846 while it is happening"
The original Klingon has some errors. (The word "sic" in brackets is used to indicate that a mistake in the original is being quoted exactly as written.)

This is not a complete sentence, but a phrase answering the question: ghorgh lumuch? When, you ask? I think {poH tuj bI'reS nungbogh wa' jaj} is supposed to be "the day before (i.e. preceding) the beginning of the hot period". {bI'reS} is being used in a kind of metaphorical sense - "summer's prologue" as it were. {bI'reS} "beginning (of an opera, play, story, speech, etc.)": (HQ 12.2:8-9): For an opera, play, story, speech, and so on, the final portion is its {bertlham}. This word usually refers to the last aria or other musical portion in an opera, last speech in a play, last sentence or so of a story or an address. The {bertlham} of a well-known work is often well-known itself, as is its beginning ({bI'reS}). For a song-but only for a song-the final portion is its {'o'megh}. Parallel to {bertlham}, {'o'megh} is the final phrase or so of the song, one that brings the song to a definite conclusion. All songs have endings ({'o'meghmey}), some more elaborate or stirring than others ... that portion of the song that comes at the beginning-a portion that is often so familiar that listeners know what song it is after hearing just that short portion-is the {namtun}. FYI here is Marc Okrand's complete "Message to Kronos" [September 2010, see http://www.u-theopera.org/]: Qo'noS tlhInganpu': qeylIS puqloDpu' puqbe'pu' je. tera'vo' SarI'. Marc Okrand jIH.

We will place a homing device transmitting this message at the site of the opera. We hope that you can send a delegation of honorable emissaries to witness this glorious event. We hope you can join us while we honor Kahless. There are several errors - possibly typos - in the text published by the producers.
