Was yah and elohim replaced in the bible with lord and god?

I believe that Yah, abbr. (Jehova) and Elohim meaning God plural. "El" is singular form, but together Elohim (believed to be the Trinity) more than one God. I believe that the names were not replaced but translated. Answer 2: None of the names of God in the Hebrew Bible were replaced or changed. The text of the Hebrew Bible has never varied. Each name of God indicates one of the ways in which He relates to the world. And none of the names are used as plural, since all of the names are linked to singular verbs.
