There's a slight variation on that phrase in Julius Caesar's "de Bello Gallico" ("The Gallic Wars"), Book 3 ("COMMENTARIUS TERTIUS"), Chapter 10 :
"iniuria retentorum equitum Romanorum"
Usually translated as :
"the (open) insult (to the state) [...] in the detention of the Roman knights"
And in your case "legatorum" is the genitive of "legatus", and could be translated as "of the diplomats/of the ambassadors/of the deputies/of the envoys/of the commanders of (a) legion(s)", depending on the context.

injuries are the ministers (ambassadors) of the stubborn (un-flexible ones)
it's an educated guess. I took Latin in college, but it's been a long time
claudio's answer sounds better
