I am writing a story with a god who plays as the unseen yet known to be present puppet master. For the story, he chose to translate the phrase "My generation is a gift" into Hebrew and use that as a name. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. A phonetic spelling and a pronunciation would also be greatly appreciated.

Well don't try to translate into a known language because there will be somebody who speaks that language and he will try to embarrass you somehow. Invent something. You can't use "Klaatu barada nikto!" because that is already famous.
"Brasach a Nichmo ~ My generation is a gift!"
Or you can just describe it in a clever way. "He spoke his name but it
-- sounded like a road scraper race in an echo chamber."
-- sounded like a stick being dragged along a picket fence."
-- sounded like a Turkish sermon."
-- sounded like a rooster raising the sun."
