Have you transcribed it correctly?
The Irish alphabet doesn't contain the letters Q, Z or J
But the following website suggests that it means much the same as "quo vadis" (whither goest thou, where are you going)

Clan Stewart of Appin
Gaelic Name Mac-Iain Stiuibhairt na h-Apunn

Plant Badges Oak or Thistle
Mottos "Quidder we'll zje"
"Whither will ye."
