Translation Note
The Hebrew is שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָד. אֶחָד is Strong’s H259. Strong’s defines it as “properly, united, i.e. one.” The 1917 Jewish Publication Society prints “THE LORD IS ONE.” Brenton prints “The Lord our God is one Lord.”
Jews pray this sentence, and they do not pray it to Jesus. Christians say the same sentence. The one Lord is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Son is not a second God beside the LORD of the Shema. Jesus is God.
King James Version. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English. “Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.”
