Hebrew New Testament with cantillation marks

Stu W wrote,
the New Testament is not sung, it is spoken--even in Messianic Jewish temples to my knowledge. As such you will not find cantillation symbols specific to cadence because no such cadence exists. By the 19th century, Hebrew had tense, and no such cadence was necessary for comprehension.
My research has yielded a contrary answer. According to Wikipedia, on the entry “Cantillation,” section “In Christian missionary uses,” it states,
The Jewish born Christian convert Ezekiel Margoliouth translated the New Testament to Hebrew in 1865 with cantillation marks added. It is the only completely cantillated translation of the New Testament. The translation was published by the London Jews' Society.
The following is an image of Matt. 1:1 featuring the cantillation marks:

You can read a very nice pdf version of Margoliuth at http://www.jer-31.com. Singing the text makes complete sense for those who come out of Orthodox Judaism. It's much easier to memorize a song than prose. And it is much easier to join in to the recitation of a text if there is a common agreement on the way it is to be recited.
