Preview of English translation:

16. And, assuredly, he who knows the indistinct (secret) manifestation of this (Yajus) becomes manifest in fame and glory. Silently the Adhvaryu draws the cup of Soma with the (muttered) Yajus, and, when drawn and deposited, it becomes manifest;—silently he builds the fire-altar with the Yajus, and, when built and completed, it becomes manifest;—silently he takes out (material for) the oblation with the Yajus, and, when cooked and ready (for offering), it becomes manifest: thus, whatever he performs silently, when performed and completed, it becomes manifest. And, assuredly, he who thus knows this secret manifestation of this (Yajus) becomes manifest in fame, and glory, and sanctity; and quickly, indeed, he becomes known: he becomes the Yajus itself, and by the Yajus people call him.
