Note that in English, we don’t refer to “Jesus, the anointed”. We transliterate names more often than translate them. So, why should we translate a name in Klingon instead of transliterating it? If he decides to give the name, it will probably be something like *jIySIS QaySet*. Sent from my iPad

I don't know about Jesus, but "Christ" comes from some Greek for, er, greased. Well "anointed" is probably a better word in this context, but in the end, it means oil is applied to someone.
I thought that would help, but I cannot find a word for oil, the closer is {tlhagh}, but it's "animal fat" not nice olive oil. So I find myself stuck as well.
Maybe I will spend one of my points or two to ask for words for oil/grease and "to grease"/apply oil. In Italian the word for "ungere" is used both in culinary/mechanic context, and in the sense of "anoint".

Maybe someone who is attending the {qep'a'} with a copy of the {paq'batlh} can ask him in person.
And while he's at it, if he could ask 'oqranD for a Ca'Non transliteration of *jesus christ*, he would do me a solid. It makes for a ridiculous translation of the new testament, having to constantly write *jesus*.
That seems like a thing which should be coordinated with the members of the Religious Text Translation Project, rather than ask Okrand about: https://www.kli.org/wiki/Religious_Text_Translation_Project
