The father replies:
Hebrew
חָפֵץ אֲנִי לִפְדּוֹת אֶת בְּנִי
וְהֵילָךְ דְּמֵי פִדְיוֹנוֹ כְּדִמְחַיְּבְנָא מִדְּאוֹרַיְתָא.

Chafetz ani lifdot et beni
veheilach demei pidyono kedimchayevna mid'oraita.
English
I wish to redeem my son. I present you with the cost of his redemption which I am bound to give according to the Torah.
Holding the redemption money, the father says:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ עַל פִּדְיוֹן הַבֵּן.

asher kiddeshanu bemitzvotav, vetzivanu al pidyon haben.

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who has made us holy through His commandments, and has commanded us concerning the redemption of a son.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לַזְּמַן הַזֶּה.

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who has given us life, sustained us, and brought us to this time.
The redemption money is given to the Kohen, who then returns the child to his father.
The Kohen takes a cup of wine and says:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן.
Sephardi
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam
borei peri hagafen.
English
Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Placing his right hand on the head of the child, the Kohen blesses him as follows:
Gen. 48Num. 6Ps. 121Prov. 3
Hebrew
יְשִׂמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כְּאֶפְרַיִם וְכִמְנַשֶּׁה׃
יְבָרֶכְךָ יהוה וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ׃
יָאֵר יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וִיחֻנֶּךָּ׃
יִשָּׂא יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם׃
יהוה שֹׁמְרֶךָ, יהוה צִלְּךָ עַל־יַד יְמִינֶךָ׃
יהוה יִשְׁמָרְךָ מִכָּל־רָע, יִשְׁמֹר אֶת־נַפְשֶׁךָ׃
כִּי אֹרֶךְ יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת חַיִּים וְשָׁלוֹם יוֹסִיפוּ לָךְ׃

Adonai shomerecha, Adonai tzilecha al-yad yeminecha.
Adonai yishmorcha mikol-ra, yishmor et-nafshecha.
Ki orech yamim ushenot chayim veshalom yosifu lach.

May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh. May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD turn His face toward you and grant you peace. The LORD is your Guardian; the LORD is your protection at your right hand. The LORD will guard you against all harm. He will guard your life. For length of days, years of life, and peace He will increase for you.
