I was joking and being sarcastic. Traditionally, English translations have followed the LXX in rendering YHWH as "the Lord" (in Greek, hO KURIOS). Personally, I find this practice rather silly. What is the point of having a "literal" translation when you are going to make such a major change to half the Bible? (For an example of a place where this is just idiotic, look at the NASB. Most literal? I think not.) So far as I know, the only major English translation to translate YHWH literally is the New Jerusalem (and, I suppose, the Jerusalem Bible as well.)
