Translation Help!

You fool! To think you can force me to do what I do not want. No one can force a dov to do what he does not want, least of all a puny human such as yourself. 

I can't find translations for can, what,does,least, and yourself if you have any suggestions please leave them. Thank you so much.

Using draconic speaking conventions, the message can be conveyed in five words: Joor mey, nid uth dovah.

A more literal approach would have Mey! Fen hi uth zu'u dreh daar zu'u ni laan? Nid los mul wah uth dovah dreh daar rok ni laan, zok vahzah ni lir joor med hi. This requires circumventing the English collocations "to think that" and "least of all". Uth 'command' may be replaced with rel 'dominate' to suggest a threat of violence.
