Motto translation help needed

[Tony Johnson]

Just a note.  Kelly, who I believe asked for the translation, had called me, and I had not been able to get back to her immediately.  I have since responded to her over the phone.  My suggestion for what it is worth was:

'ntsayka mamuk skukum ntsayka tEmtEm.'

Better Jargon than anything below would be:

mamook tloosh (or "kloosh", if you must) nesika tumtum
--improve our hearts/spirits

Wikna?
