Quoting Paarthurnax

Hey all,

I was wanting to quote Paartburnax for a t shirt design that I am making, but I want it to be written in Dova.  The quote is, "What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? "

When I plugged it in to the translator, obviously there were a few words missing so I went with synonyms for the missing words, eventually coming up with, "Is it better to be born good or to defeat your evil nature through great trying." Which comes out to Los Nii Pruzaan Kos Kiim Kul Uv Wah Viik Hin Vokul Sil Zeim Lot Unt

2 Questions:

In your opinion is this the best translation of the quote?

and

Is this the grammatically correct?

Thanks!

Los nii pruzaan kos kiin kul uv wah viik hin vokul sil zeim lot unt? is a surprisingly good rendition. The generally accepted form substitutes qahnaar 'vanquish, resist' for viik and voth 'with, using' for zeim. For more, see the answers to this question.
