Matthew 27:46 why translated as 'god why have you forsaken me'...?

Matthew 27:46

Seems to read 'Eli Eli, why have you forsaken me?',

Or, why have you left me, as I read it. Now, these verses mention those waiting or seeking Elijah... why would that be? Because Jesus already said He was conversing with Elijah, earlier. So this does make sense, although, the context is confusing, why would this mean something literal, if it isn't a hymn, as some believe?
Anyways we know that Yahweh was planning His spiritual Sacrifice,
John 10
And Yahweh says He does the Sacrifice of His own authority, so, that has to be taken into context.

Thanks

Eli means 'my God'... Eli-Jah is two parts, 'my God + Lord'.

In my opinion.

Eli means God, so the translation is not wrong.
Why did Jesus say that?
Jesus quoted from Psalm 22:1 -My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?-

What many do not know is that almost all the words Jesus spoke are quotes. Many also think that Jesus brought new commandments into the world, which is not true. All the commandments he gave were already written in the Old Testament.
Jesus did not come to break the old law but to fulfill it.
