Genesis 2:19

There are many quotes and allusions of the Hebrew Scriptures in the NT writings, and very few transliterations within those.

A transliteration pushes the problem of how to interpret a problem passage on to those who are less knowledgeable about the original language.

IMO, I think it's a good idea to follow a similar path, a simple footnote is probably a better way to express alternative translations.

1) Matthew 1:23 reads "Immanuel" or "Emmanuel" which is a transliteration of the Hebrew name found in Isaiah 7:14.
2) Jesus is NOT a transliteration of Yeshua.
3) Christ is sort of a transliteration of Christos, the Greek translation of the Hebrew transliteration Messiah.
4) Lord is a translation of a translation of the Hebrew transliteration YHWH.

I could go on but you get the idea, the OT quotes or paraphrase often contains translations or transliterations of the Hebrew text.
