How to read the transliterations
Hebrew
וְאַחַר שֶׁיָּצְאוּ כֻּלָּן רוֹחֲצִין
הָעֲזָרָה, וַאֲפִלּוּ בְּשַׁבָּת,
מִפְּנֵי כְלוֹךְ הַדָּם שֶׁהָיָה בָהּ.
וְכֵיצַד הָיְתָה הָרְחִיצָה? אַמַּת
הַמַּיִם הָיְתָה עוֹבֶרֶת בָּעֲזָרָה,
וְהָיָה לָהּ מָקוֹם לָצֵאת
מִמֶּנָּה, וּכְשֶׁרוֹצִין לְהָדִיחַ
אֶת הָרִצְפָּה, סוֹתְמִין מְקוֹם
יְצִיאָתָהּ, וְהִיא מִתְמַלֵּאת
עַל כָּל גְּדוֹתֶיהָ מִפֶּה וּמִפֶּה,
עַד שֶׁהַמַּיִם עוֹלִים וְצָפִים
מִכָּאן וּמִכָּאן, וּמְקַבֵּץ אֵלֶיהָ
כָּל דָּם וְכָל כְּלוֹךְ שֶׁהָיָה
בָּעֲזָרָה. וְאַחַר כָּךְ פּוֹתְחִין
מְקוֹם יְצִיאָתָהּ, וְהַכֹּל יוֹצֵא
עַד שֶׁנִּשְׁאַר הָרִצְפָּה מְנֻקָּה
וּמְשֻׁפָּה. זֶהוּ כְּבוֹד הַבַּיִת.

סְפִירַת הָעֹמֶר

COUNTING THE OMER

The Omer is counted each night from the second night of Pesach through the night before Shavuot.
Ideally, the Omer should be counted at nightfall, immediately after Maariv. However, one who forgot to do so may count it at any time during the night. If he forgot to count during the night, he should count during the day without the accompanying blessing.
If one forgot to count the Omer and the day has fully passed, he must count on subsequent nights without a blessing. If he is not sure as to whether he counted during the previous night, and he did not count during the day, he may continue counting with a blessing.
Before counting the Omer, one should not begin eating (even a light meal) within half an hour before dusk.

Blessing on the Counting of the Omer

Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם,
אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו,
וְצִוָּנוּ עַל סְפִירַת הָעֹמֶר:
Chabad
