it sounds like you might want a heiroglyph converter. there's one on touregypt.net.
however i doubt the word jew existed in kemit, the way it is used today. in kemit, the word ju meant mountain.
there were a group of people called the habiru that show up in the amarna letters of the 18th dynasty. these are probably the people we now call hebrew. that's probably the closest you're going to get to jew in kemit.

There was no term "Jew" used by Ancient Egyptians. As far as I know the only documented reference to Jews is from the Merenptah Stele which uses the the term Israel. It refers to Israel with a linguistic determinative meaning a people or ethnic group, whereas the other nations mentioned on the stela are marked with the determinative for a people with associated territory. http://home.clara.net/abbottfamily/merenptahstele.htm

The word 'jew' is a Pure Ancient Egyptian word. It could be written in AE Hieroglyphs by many ways either by using [hd] or [hw] graphemes or by other ways. Avery good example is reported in Wallis Budge EHD p.35b as follows:
[M17-G43-O4 46-A40] = iuhed = jahwd = jew
He translated it to 'a god in the Duat'!
Also the well known Egyptian Egyptologist Ahmad Bek Nagib who was the inspector and chief director of the Egyptian monuments in year 1893 reported in his famous book 'Exalted Monument of Ancients of Nile Valley, in Arabic' p.151 a rare picture for an Asiatic man whose chest is a big cartouche that includes the following text:
[M17-M17-G43-D46:O4] = jwdah
He said that it reads as 'king of Jahwd' or 'king of Jews!
quote:...the name derived from the patriarch Judah, at first given to one belonging to the tribe of Judah or to the separate kingdom of Judah, in contradistinction from those belonging to the kingdom of the ten tribes, who were called Israelites.
During the Captivity, and after the Restoration, the name, however, was extended to all the Hebrew nation without distinction. Originally these people were called Hebrews but after the Exile this name fell into disuse. But Paul was styled a Hebrew. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
The name "Jew" wasn't widely used to describe Hebrews until centuries after the Pharoahs. However, the name "Hebrew" may be related to the derogatory word used by Egyptians, "Habiru."

The euphemism Jew, Hebrew and Semite did not exist before 1829.
"...In 1829 , the Anglo-French anthropologist. F. W. Edwards, suggested that because Jewish people are racially different from Europeans, they must belong to a different race that anthropologists have not yet identified. In a private letter to his friend
Amedee Thierry, Edwards classified the Jewish people as Semites after the Semitic people that came to occupy the Middle East from where the Bible claims the Jewish people originated. It must be pointed out that once again this private classification was highly influenced by the false biblical narrative on where the Jewish people claim to have originated [see Genesis 11:31; 15:7].
The speculation of Edwards about the hypothetical origin of the Jewish people was made in a private letter that was not supposed to be made public. Amedee Thierry, who was himself a Jew, made it public by asserting that anthropologists have identified the Jewish people to be Semites. Instantly, the Jewish people accepted and began to propagate the idea that anthropologists have found out who they were, and that they were Semites, but it was false. Throughout their history going back over two thousand years, there was no mention of a racial link of the Afrim people to any Semitic tribal group anywhere..." -- page 195, "The Africans Who Wrote The Bible, Dr. Darkwah-linguistic expert.
