The statement would not make sense in Early Lahabic, so:
Classical Lahabic: za'lgro'ni'r abhabwu'etu'ekhato'r; mendro'ni'r abhato'r.
(the acute accents should go on the preceding vowel)

za'lgro'ni'r abhabwu'etu'ekhato'r
za:l.'gro:.ni:r ,a.b<h>a.,b<w>y:.ty:.'k<h>a.to:r
za'lgro'n    -i'r               abha     -bwu'etu'ekha -to'r
cause to end -imperative plural language -death        -accusative singular
mendro'ni'r abhato'r
men.'dro:ni:r a.'b<h>a.to:r
mendro'n    -i'r               abha        -to'r
create      -imperative plural language    -accusative singular
