Pangur Bán
I'll keep the meter (7 syllables per line) but not the rhyme. This is in Learăgisiș. Hebrew loans are in bold.

מישא ףעין איס פּאַנקוֹר בּאָן,
בּי קאַך ריש אן טֿר׳עף טאַזש ףעין,
א מֿענמא תּאַזששאן רי ציד,
אן צשע תּאַמסא רי מא-כֿערז.
ףיאָר-ן ףאס לוֹם נא קאַך מין כּל׳וּ,
סאנט עיסוק שאַ ארן לימוד.
כֿנעל עאט ר׳וֹם אזש פּאַנקוֹר בּאָן,
הנאה לעש אס לענביף-סאן.

Original Old Irish
Messe ocus Pangur bán,
cechtar nathar fria ṡaindán:
bíth a menmasam fri seilgg,
mu menma céin im ṡaincheirdd.
Caraimse fos, ferr cach clú
oc mu lebrán, léir ingnu;
ní foirmtech frimm Pangur bán:
caraid cesin a maccdán.

The passage from the Hebrew wiki article "לשון חז"ל"
- To Dovid ney ro lă nă șeriviși teģ: «Vel ă lenăv marăv?» To șiedsăn ņey ro: «To.»
- To Dovid ņey șesăv suas un tał, ņey ienłăth, ņey ciŗ șemăn eř fheyn, is ņey athrăch nă h-ăydi teģ,
- is to șe ņey doł szech dăm Beysămigdăș is ņey li ind uvłăch,
- is ņey doł ghachi. To șe ņey torț ărthu ciŗ biegh rev is ņey ith.
- To nă șeriviși teģ ņey ro leș: «De șu a șiv ney zean?
- Son ă lenăv byu, vă șiv ă trăsgăgh is ă gułăgh,
- is ăneșu gu vel ă lenăv marăv, to șiv ă șesăv suas is ăg ith!»
- To șesăn ņey ro: «Nuař v' ă lenăv byu, vă m' ă trăsgăgh is ă gułăgh,
- ăr smăynăch gum: ‹Cu ģe a fis,
- efșăr gu bey șe ņey șoł răchmonüs is bey ă lenăv byu.›
- Ăneșu gu vel șe marăv, cărson ărum ă thrăsgăgh?
- Ăn efșăr lum o ghavăl ăreș?
- Bey mișă ņey doł hiģesăn; cha bhey esăn ņey țiņ ăreș hugumșă.»

- Thubhairt Daibhidh ra sheirbhisich, A bheil an leanabh marbh? Agus thubhairt iadsan, Tha e marbh.
- An sin dh’èirich Daibhidh on talamh, agus dh’ionnlaid agus dh’ung e e fhèin, agus mhùth e a aodach,
- agus chaidh e a-steach do thaigh an Tighearna, agus rinn e adhradh:
- an sin thàinig e da thaigh fhèin, agus nuair a dh’iarr e, chuir iad aran fa chomhair, agus dh’ith e.
- An sin thubhairt a sheirbhisich ris, Ciod e an nì seo a rinn thu?
- Airson an leinibh, nuair a bha e beò, thraisg thu agus ghuil thu:
- ach nuair a dh’eug an leanabh, dh’èirich thu agus dh’ith thu aran.
- Agus thubhairt esan, Nuair a bha an leanabh fhathast beò, thraisg mi agus ghuil mi:
- oir thubhairt mi, Cò aig a bheil fhios,
- nach gabh Dia truas rium, agus nach mair an leanabh beò?
- Ach a-nis o fhuair e bàs, carson a thraisginn?
- An urrainn mi a thabhairt air ais tuilleadh?
- Thèid mise da ionnsaigh-san, ach cha till esan am ionnsaigh-sa.

Translation from the Ăn Yidiș
Torah! Torah! the light of all the worlds!
So many seas, rivers, springs and founts flow out from you in all directions!
From you come all things, on you stand the highest and lowest realms.
From you goes out His highest light.
Torah! Torah! What can I say to describe you? You are like a lovely doe and a graceful she-ibex,
Your mercy is in the upper and lower realms, available for anyone who succeeds in obtaining instruction from you in the proper way.
Torah! Torah!
Such are the joys of those who have mastered you! Who can reveal and tell your secret and hidden things!

English
Oraita! Oraita! (Torah! Torah!) the light of all the worlds!
How many seas and rivers and wells and springs spread out from you in all directions!
From you is everything, by you the upper and lower [worlds] are sustained.
His upper light goes out from you.
Oraita! Oraita! what shall I say of you, lovely doe and graceful she-ibex,
above and below are your mercies, whoever merits to acquire from you in the proper fashion.
Oraita! Oraita!
The delights of those who master you! Who can reveal and tell your secret and hidden things!
