I am not intending to be a troll or anything though I understand my request may raise a few heckles in some quarters.
I have mentioned before that one of my customers is a Young Earth Creationist (YEC). He has been doing some testing of our software and I noticed that in one of his reports there is a screenshot of a test session in which he sends the message "yeshua adoni" to our application. Since our application does not recognise the message, it just logs it and carries on.
I looked up "yeshua adoni" on Google and it appears to translate as "Christ is Lord" or something like that. I thought it might be nice if the application did recognise the message and responded with a pantomime "Oh no he isn't!" or "Christ is probably not Lord" or "You sure it's not Vishnu, Allah or Thor?" or something like that.
Would someone who knows the language (vistesd?) be able to translate one of these into Jewish for me?

According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshua
Yeshua comes from Joshua and is a more accurate pronunciation of "Jesus" - though it isn't clear to me whether Jesus' name came from Joshua.
Christ on the other hand seems to be from Greek meaning "the anointed one".
Though both 'Jesus' and 'Christ' are normally used in English to refer to the same person, it seems odd that you substituted one for the other during the translation.

The beauty of this one is that you can cut and paste the Hebrew characters and make it even more 'intriguing' for him to figure out what the 'secret message' is.
Or, this one for Greek:

You could say: Lo sheli, “not mine”. Or: ein adonim, “there are no lords/masters”.

In his life, Jesus (the Greekification) was known as Joshua of Nazarith. Joshua is the the English version of Yeshua. jThis is my understanding. I learned this somewhere along the way, but I am not a scholar so I can't certify this translation to be correct.
