Aliyot to the Torah
Once the Torah rests upon the bimah, the gabbai summons a Kohen with the words that follow. Should no Kohen be present, a Levite or Israelite is summoned to the Torah instead.
Hebrew
וְתִגְלֶה וְתֵרָאֶה מַלְכוּתוֹ עָלֵינוּ בְּזְמַן קָרוֹב,
וִיחוֹן פְּלֵטָתֵנוּ וּפְלֵטַת עַמּוֹ בֵּית
יִשְׂרָאֵל לְחֵן וּלְחֶסֶד וּלְרַחֲמִים וּלְרָצוֹן וְנֹאמַר
אָמֵן. הַכֹּל הָבוּ גֹדֶל לֵאלֹהֵינוּ וּתְנוּ כָבוֹד
לַתּוֹרָה. כֹּהֵן קְרַב, יַעֲמֹד (פלוני בן פלוני)
הַכֹּהֵן. בָּרוּךְ שֶׁנָּתַן תּוֹרָה לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל

The assembly and gabbai declare:
Hebrew
וְאַתֶּם הַדְּבֵקִים בַּיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם,
חַיִּים כֻּלְּכֶם הַיּוֹם:
Chabad
v'atem had'veikim badonoy Eloyheichem,
chayim kul'chem hayoym:
The oleh (the one called up to the Torah) ought to go straight toward the Torah without delay, so as to display his devotion and eagerness toward the Torah.
Blessings Over the Torah
The reader indicates to the oleh the words destined for reading in the Torah. The oleh lays his tallit's corner or the belt of the Torah upon those words, then kisses it. Next he shuts the Torah and recites the blessing below, grasping the Torah's handles and turning his head rightward, lest it look as if he were reading from the Torah. See page 945 for transliteration.
Hebrew
בָּרְכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה הַמְבֹרָךְ:
Chabad
bor'chu es Adonoy ham'voyroch:
Together the congregation and the oleh say:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה הַמְבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:
Chabad
boruch Adonoy ham'voyroch l'oylom vo-ed:
The oleh continues:
Blessings on the Torah
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ
הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר בָּנוּ
מִכָּל הָעַמִּים, וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת תּוֹרָתוֹ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה:
Chabad
boruch atoh Adonoy Eloyheinu melech
ho-oylom, asher bochar bonu
mikol ho-amim, v'nosan lonu es Toyrosoy.
boruch atoh Adonoy, noysein hatoyroh:
From the Torah the reader reads, and the oleh quietly reads along with him. The remaining congregants typically track that reading in their own siddur (or chumash).
Once the reading is finished, the oleh touches the final and initial words that were read with his tallit's corner or with the belt of the Torah, then kisses it. Next he shuts the Torah and recites the blessing below, grasping the Torah's handles and turning his head rightward, lest it look as if he were reading from the Torah.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ
הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָנוּ תּוֹרַת
אֱמֶת, וְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם נָטַע בְּתוֹכֵנוּ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה:
Chabad
boruch atoh Adonoy Eloyheinu melech
ho-oylom, asher nosan lonu Toyras
emes, v'chayei oylom nota b'soycheinu.
boruch atoh Adonoy, noysein hatoyroh:
The oleh stays on his feet beside the Torah until the following aliyah concludes (or, if his aliyah was the final one, until the Torah has been raised). As the oleh goes back to his seat, he ought not take the briefest path, displaying his devotion to the Torah and his unwillingness to depart from it.
Raising the Torah
Whoever lifts the Torah unrolls it until at least three columns are visible, touches those columns with his tallit or the belt of the Torah, kissing it, and afterward lifts the Torah, turning rightward and leftward so all may see. The congregation rises, gazes upon the Torah, and recites aloud:
The Torah in its greatness

tzidkoy, yagdil Toyroh v'yadir:
Back onto the bimah the Torah is lowered and closed. Whoever is holding the Torah is seated, after which the Torah is wrapped and covered.
While wrapping and covering of the Torah are still underway, the chazzan starts Half Kaddish, reciting it slowly so it ends once the Torah is back in the Ark.
