145 ‎[1] **The Laws Of The Translators. Containing 3 Se'ifim:**
In the days of the Sages of the Talmud, their practice was to translate [the reading to Aramaic] in order that the people would understand. The Torah reader is not permitted to read for the translator more than one verse, and the translator is not permitted to translate until the verse is finished by the Torah reader. The Torah reader is not permitted to read the next verse until the translator has finished the translation. The Torah reader is not permitted to raise their voice louder than the translator, nor the translator louder than the Torah reader. And the Torah reader is not permitted to assist the translator, so the people shouldn’t think that the translation is written in the Torah. ‎[2] A child [reader] may have his reading translated by an adult, but it is not respectful for an adult to have his reading translated by a child. ‎[3] Nowadays, our custom is to not translate [to Aramaic], for what use would it be since no one would understand it.
