Hebrew term or phrase: V’ ad jom mosoj t’ chake lo im jošuf mija tekkablo
Greetings,

may I ask for you help, please. My text is from Slovakia, the year about 1925, according to the text the Jews have their own type of Yiddish

I need to know how this transcription would look in hebrew, but not in the hebrew alphabet but latin letters, please.
Thank you very much.

English translation:Vead Yom moto Tehake lo; Im Yasuv Miyade Tekablo
Explanation:
It's not Yiddish but Hebrew.
In Hebrew it is:
וְעַד יוֹם מוֹתוֹ תְּחַכֶּה לוֹ אִם יָשׁוּב מִיַָד תְּקַבְּלוֹ
It comes from a prayer and it means:
Until the day of his death You await him; if he repents You will accept him immediately.

The prayer is called Unetanneh Tokef

Unetanneh Tokef, Unethanneh Toqeph, or Unesanneh Tokef (ונתנה תוקף) is a piyyut that has been a part of the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur liturgy in rabbinical Judaism for centuries. It introduces the Kedusha of Musaf for these days. Describing the important place this prayer has in the service, the ArtScroll machzor calls it "one of the most stirring compositions in the entire liturgy of the Days of Awe."[1] It is probably the best-known piyyut after Kol Nidrei.

Transcribed into Latin letters is is: Vead Yom moto Tehake lo; Im Yasuv Miyade Tekablo

It is God who waits for the dead person; if he will repents you will accept him immediately.
