Actually it's the {x} sound that doesn't exist in Polish anymore. 'ch'
in words like 'chata' (cottage) or 'licho' ("evil") used to be good
approximation, but the difference between /h/ and /ch/ is pretty much
lost in modern Polish. Nevertheless...

...appears as an acceptable variant of {'} :)

As for OP's question, I think that for this particular example a much
better transcription of the example sentence is the following:

.sszoi ro do. ij. mi'h~'e evas. ij.  mi tavla la loż~'ban. ij. mi
chrukla le zdani.

or, alternatively, with "kh" replacing "ch" to better illustrate the
difference between {'} and {x} (note that "kh" is a bit of
exaggeration as a phoneme for {x}, but encapsulates the distinction
quite nicely).
