Why is Hebrew written in English so differently than it’s pronounced?

Maybe this is just my poor understanding but for example Chag Sameach is pronounced very differently than it looks like it would be said. If it’s written phonetically for the English letters anyway, why isn’t it written closer to the real pronunciation?
