The New Testament was not written in Hebrew, so it was NEVER translated from Hebrew to Latin.
The earliest known translations of the Greek New Testament into Latin consist of a number of piecework translations during the early Church period, during the late 4th Century CE.
Collectively, these versions are known as the Vetus Latina. They vary widely in readability and quality, and contain many solecisms in idiom, some by the translators themselves, others from literally translating Greek language idioms into Latin.

Why don't professing Christians call the God they serve by his name?
The name of God, YHWH, is contained in the Hebrew translation of the TNK. When the TNK was translated into Greek, called the Septuagint, the name of God was still written in Hebrew. Later versions of the Septuagint use the phrase "THEOS KYRIOS (God is the Lord)," in place of the Hebrew for YHWH. When the Cristian new testament and the old testament (made up of Hebrew scriptures) where translated into Latin (called the Vulgate) the name of God was translated as IEHOVAH (the LORD). Modern Christians refer to God as Jehovah, because the modern bibles were translated directly from the Vulgate.
