Tell-Tale Heart

I'm working on a translation of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Tell-Tale Heart'
(current working title: HeS peghHa'bogh tIq - the Heart which did not
keep the crime a secret). Are there any Poe fans out there who'd like to
help me out? I could even post it on the list, but it'll probably be
long, that's the thing. I'm also not going to include the English
version, because that would make it even longer. So any volunteers would
need to be (a) at least as good with the language as me - preferably
better, and (b) in possession of a copy of the original story.
Anyone game? So far I've done the first paragraph, which goes like this:
HeS peghHa'bogh tIq
(The heart which did not keep the crime secret)
teH! jIbItqu'qu'pu' 'ej jIbitqu'qu' - 'ach qatlh jImaw' 'e' Dajatlh
'e' Daqap? laHmeywIj Dubpu' rop. bIH Qawpu'be rop. teSwIj Dub law'
Hoch Dub puS. <He'van>Daq bIHpu'bogh Dochmey Hoch vIQoypu' 'ej
tera'Daq bIHpu'bogh Dochmey Hoch vIQoypu'. <Hel>Daq bIHpu'bogh
Dochmey law' vIQoypu'. vaj qatlh vImaw'? HI'Ij! 'ej lut naQ
vIja'taHvIS jIjot 'e' yItu'.
That should be a good enough sample of my translatory skills methinks :)
