The point of the designation YHWH is not to write or say the name of God.
The word Lord is substituted instead. I would translate Lord if you want an
English word or preserve the non-word in all CAPS and footnote the reason
there is no word. Most English translations of scripture choose the former
method.
Just for curiosity's sake, what are the Greek sources that do this? Or what
is book you are reading?
