Short answer. Jehovah Adhonahi or Yahweh Adonai, is a way of saying the Lord God... or the one and only God... the one who made the heavens and the earth... the God of The Bible (as understood by Jews and Christians).
Longer answer...
In the Hebrew Bible ("Old Testament") the two major names for God, that is, the all powerful creator of the heavens and earth, were Yahweh (sometimes people use the transliteration, "Jehovah") and Elohim. Some describe Yahweh as the covenant name of God. It was used by God when Moses asked how to address God.
Many Jews felt the name Yahweh was too holy to speak. Therefore when they came across the name in the Hebrew Bible, they would say "Adonai" instead. This word in normal use means "Lord" or "Master". However, in the context it essentially means God, or Yahweh.
In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, Adonai became the Greek word "Kurios" which also, in common conversation, means Lord or Master, but within the context (for the same reason) means God.
