The Yivríndi had never heard of Jesus, either, but since I've done a lot
of Biblical passages as translation excercises, I already have a name for
him.  Here's the three related Yivril languages:

Yivríndil:

Lan Yivríndil notalayala Yésuos, lai notalayaa évos!

Praçí:

Lã Praçí hiá notajel Hiesuos, lai u hie notajel hievos!

Tzingriz'îl:

Lên nôtal'îjel'î Tzingriz'îl Jezuus, lei nôtal'îjehî ivus.
