I
 don't see why not. Klingons are pretty direct in general but that 
doesn't mean they can't also be metaphorical. I see no problem with 
{tultaHghach yIlon} "abandon hoping".  A rendition following Dante's 
meter (11-syllable lines stressed on 6 and 10) might be:

Hoch tultaHghach yIlon tlhIH, 'o 'elwI'pu'
"Abandon all hoping, O those who enter"

(poD vay')

jang je Voragh, jatlh:
> TIP:  If you can't find a good noun, try rephrasing with a verb: *{tulHa'choH}.

Also a good suggestion, though.

petulHa''eghmoHchu' tlhIH, 'o 'elwI'pu'
"Cause yourselves to completely lose hope, O those who enter"
