Can someone please help me with the correct translation for this phrase.

The exact translation would be: מי כמו אלוהים (mi kmo elohim).
'מי כמוך באלים ה (mi kamocha ba'elim adonay) is a common praise translated as "who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods?"
The name Michael (pronounced: mi-cha-El, with a "ch" consonant as in the Scottish "loch"), written מיכאל, also means "who is like god", but it does not stand for itself as a sentence.
It is a combination of three words: mi (מי= "who"), ka (כ= as, like. This "prefix" changes its sound to "cha" when it has a word attached behind it) and el (אל= god)

I don't have Hebrew script on my computer, but I know that the name "Michael" comes from the Hebrew for "who is like God".
