adoNAY = my Lord. This is the standard term. It is the exact idiomatic equivalent of \'the Lord\' in English

shalom = peace.

\'hu\' [(he) is] is redundant here. Hebrew is compact and terse - that\'s one of its main beauties.

adonay = alef-dalet-vav-nun-yod

shalom = shin-lamed-vav-mem
שלום

\'The Lord is peace\' sounds fine to me as an English phrase; but I didn\'t think the first suggestion rolled off the tongue - it sounded like a translation, IMHO & FWIW.
