The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Immolabitque vitulum coram Domino, et offerent filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem ejus, fundentes per altaris circuitum, quod est ante ostium tabernaculi :
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ σφάξουσι τὸν μόσχον ἔναντι Κυρίου· καὶ προσοίσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν τὸ αἷμα, καὶ προσχεοῦσιν τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ τὸ ἐπὶ τῶν θυρῶν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου·
Hebrew (WLC)
וְשָׁחַ֛ט אֶת בֶּ֥ן הַבָּקָ֖ר לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְ֠הִקְרִיבוּ בְּנֵ֨י אַהֲרֹ֤ן הַֽכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ אֶת הַדָּ֔ם וְזָרְק֨וּ אֶת הַדָּ֤ם עַל הַמִּזְבֵּ֨חַ֙ סָבִ֔יב אֲשֶׁר פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד

Haydock's commentary

He, by the hands of the priests, (chap. x. 1,) as the Septuagint express it, "they shall immolate;" (Menochius) though we might infer from this text, that the person who offered the victim, had to slay it; (Calmet) while the priests alone could pour the blood upon and around the altar. Without the effusion of blood remission is not made, Hebrews ix. 22. (Haydock)
