English term or phrase: Greeting in German
Hi! I am transcribing a meeting in English but, at one point, the host welcomes the German delegation in German. Phonetically, what he says sounds more or less like (don't laugh): "Einege kollegen, commen oh haus Deutschland, ha shis Welkom"

Could someone please tell me how to write that in proper German?

Thanks!

Explanation:
A first try.

If you want (and if it is possible), send me a sound file with that part and I can listen to it for you.

Explanation:
I think what the host wanted to say is:

"Liebe Kollegen aus Deutschland, kommen Sie in mein Haus, Sie sind willkommen."

Of course you could reword it. But I think this is the meaning.

  -> True! Admittedly, I provided not a literal transcription, but nevertheless a faithful one.
