כֵּיצַד מַעֲרִימִין עַל הַבְּכוֹר. לְהַפְקִיעוֹ מִכֹּהֵן וּלְהַקְרִיבוֹ לְחוֹבָתוֹ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

כיצד מערימין על הבכור – to cancel the obligation/release it (i.e., the firstling) from the Kohen and to sacrifice it for his own obligation.

יָלְדָה זָכָר יִקְרַב עוֹלָה. דִּבְכוֹר לֹא קַדִּישׁ אֶלָּא מֵרֶחֶם, וְכֵיוָן דְּמֵעִקָּרָא אַתְפְּסֵיהּ בִּקְדֻשָּׁה אַחֲרִיתָא, תּוּ לֹא חָיְלָא עֲלֵיהּ קְדֻשַּׁת בְּכוֹרָה:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ילדה זכר יקרב עולה – for a firstling is not holy other than in the womb, and since ab initio, it takes effect in another holiness, furthermore, the holiness of its being a firstling no long takes effect with it.

וְאִם נְקֵבָה זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים. לָאו בִּמְבַכֶּרֶת מַיְרֵי, דְּאֵין הַנְּקֵבָה קְדוֹשָׁה בִּבְכוֹרָה דְּבָעֵי לְאַעֲרוֹמֵי עֲלַהּ. אֶלָּא בְּבֶהֱמַת קָדָשִׁים, דְּאִם חַטָּאת הִיא וְנִתְעַבְּרָה וְרוֹצֶה לְהַעֲרִים שֶׁלֹּא יֵלֵךְ לְמִיתָה, דִּוְלַד חַטָּאת לְמִיתָה אָזֵיל, יְשַׁנֵּהוּ לִקְדֻשָּׁה אַחֶרֶת. [וְקָמַשְׁמַע לָן] וַלְדוֹת קָדָשִׁים בַּהֲוָיָתָן קְדוֹשִׁים וְלֹא בִּמְעֵי אִמָּן, וְכֵיוָן דַּעֲדַיִן לֹא קָדְשׁוּ קְדֻשַּׁת אִמָּן, מָצֵי לְאַרְכּוֹבֵי עֲלַיְהוּ קְדֻשָּׁה אַחֲרִיתִי, דִּלְכִי מִתְיְלִיד לֹא הָוֵי חַטָּאת:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ואם נקבה זבחי שלמים – we are not speaking about a female beast, for the female is not holy with the firstling that one needs to make a deception on it. But the sanctified beast, that if it is sin-offering and she became pregnant and one wants to make a deception so that it will not go to die, for the offspring of a sin-offering goes to its death, one can change it it to another sanctity. [And this comes to inform us] that the offspring of Holy Things, while they are born holy and not in the wombs of their mother, for since they had not yet been sanctified with the holiness of their mothers, one is able to engraft upon them another holiness, so that when they are born, they will not be a sin-offering.

יָלְדָה שְׁנֵי זְכָרִים. בְּבֶהֱמַת חֻלִּין מַיְרֵי. דְּאִי בְּבֶהֱמַת קָדָשִׁים, הִיאַךְ דְּאִקְדִּישָׁה עוֹלָה לֶהֱוֵי עוֹלָה, וְאִידָךְ קָאֵי בִּקְדֻשָּׁתָהּ דְּאִמֵּיהּ. אֶלָּא וַדַּאי בְּבֶהֱמַת חֻלִּין, וּלְפִיכָךְ הַאי דְּלֹא קַדִּישׁ דָּמָיו חֻלִּין. וּמִיהוּ עַל שְׁנֵיהֶם חָלָה קְדֻשַּׁת עוֹלָה, דְּהָא אָמַר אִם זָכָר עוֹלָה, וּמִשּׁוּם דְּאִיהוּ לֹא נָדַר אֶלָּא חֲדָא, הִלְכָּךְ יִקְרַב הָאֶחָד לְנִדְרוֹ וְהַשֵּׁנִי יִמָּכֵר לְצָרְכֵי עוֹלָה וְדָמָיו חֻלִּין:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ילדה שני זכרים – we are speaking about an unconsecrated animal, if the animal was dedicated, how was something that was sanctified as a burnt-offering let it be a burnt-offering, for the other one refers to the sanctity of its mother. But it is certainly an unconsecrated animal, and therefore, this one whose monetary value was not sanctified is unconsecrated. But however, on both of them, the holiness of a burnt-offering exists. For since he stated that if [he born animal] is a male, it is a burnt-offering, and because he did not vow other than for one, therefore, he should offer the one for his vow, and the second he should sell for the needs of a burnt-offering and its monetary value/worth is unconsecrated.

אֵין קְדֻשָּׁה חָלָה עֲלֵיהֶן. דְּוַלְדוֹת קָדָשִׁים בַּהֲוָיָתָן הֵן קְדוֹשִׁים וְלֹא מִמְּעֵי אִמָּן, וְכֵיוָן דְּהָנָךְ בִּיצִיאָתָן מִן הָרֶחֶם אֵינָן רְאוּיִין לְהַקְרָבָה, לֹא קַדְּשֵׁי. וַחֲכָמִים פְּלִיגֵי עַל רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל וְסָבְרֵי דְּוַלְדוֹת קָדָשִׁים בִּקְדֻשַּׁת אִמָּן קַיְמֵי. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

אין קדושה חלה עליהן – for the offspring become holy because they are holy [at the time of their existence] and not from the belly of their mother, and since that these when they leave [their mother’s womb] are not appropriate for sacrifice, they are not holy. But the Sages dispute Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel as they hold that the offspring are holy and exist through the holiness of their mother [from the womb]. And the Halakha is not according to Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel (see Talmud Temurah 25a).

הָאוֹמֵר. עַל וְלָדָהּ שֶׁל בְּהֵמָה מְעֻבֶּרֶת:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

האומר – on the offspring of a pregnant animal.

וְלָדָהּ שֶׁל זוֹ עוֹלָה וְהִיא שְׁלָמִים דְּבָרָיו קַיָּמִין. שֶׁהֲרֵי קְדֻשַּׁת הַוָּלָד קָדְמָה. אֲבָל אָמַר הִיא שְׁלָמִים בְּרֵישָׁא, לָהּ וּלְכָל דְּאִית בָּהּ אַקְדְּשַׁהּ, וְהָוֵי כְּמַקְדִּישׁ שְׁתֵּי בְּהֵמוֹת לִשְׁלָמִים, וְכִי הָדַר וְאָמַר וְלָדָהּ עוֹלָה, הָוֵי הַוָּלָד שְׁלָמִים. וְהָכָא לֹא שַׁיָּךְ לְמֵימַר בַּהֲוָיָתָן וּבִמְעֵי אִמָּן, דְּכִי אָמְרִינַן בַּהֲוָיָתָן וְלֹא בִמְעֵי אִמָּן, הָנֵי מִלֵּי בְּהִקְדִּישָׁהּ וּלְבַסּוֹף נִתְעַבְּרָה, דְּאִיהוּ לֹא אַתְפְּסֵיהּ לָעֻבָּר שׁוּם קְדֻשָּׁה, אֶלָּא מִקְּדֻשַּׁת אִמֵּיהּ קָא קַדִּישׁ. אֲבָל בְּמַקְדִּישׁ מְעֻבֶּרֶת, חֲשִׁיב עֻבָּר לְקַבּוֹלֵי קְדֻשָּׁה. וְרַבִּי מֵאִיר אִית לֵיהּ תְּפֹס לָשׁוֹן רִאשׁוֹן:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ולדה של זו עולה והיא שלמים דבריו קיימין – for the holiness of the offspring takes precedence. But if he said in the first clause [of the Mishnah] that it is a peace-offering, she and that which she has in her is sanctified, and it is like one is sanctifying two animals for peace offerings, for if he retracted and stated that her offspring is a burnt-offering, the offspring is a peace-offspring. But here, it does not belong to state that while they are in the belly of their mother, for when we state that they exist and they are not in the belly of their mother, these words apply when it was sanctified [first] and at the end she became pregnant, for he did not deposit to the fetus any holiness, but rather it is sanctified from the holiness of its mother. But when one sanctifies a pregnant woman, it is considered that the fetus receives the holiness. But Rabbi Meir holds (see Tractate Temurah, Chapter 3, Mishnah 1) that the first language takes hold.

אִם לְכָךְ נִתְכַּוֵּן מִתְּחִלָּה. כְּשֶׁאָמַר הִיא שְׁלָמִים לֹא נִתְכַּוֵּן לִוְלָדָהּ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

אם לכך נתכוין מתחלה – when he said that she (i.e., the mother) is a peace-offering, he did not intend [to speak] about her offspring.

הוֹאִיל וְאִי אֶפְשָׁר לִקְרוֹת שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת כְּאַחַת. שֶׁאֵין הַפֶּה יָכוֹל לְדַבֵּר שְׁנֵי דְּבָרִים כְּאַחַת:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

הואיל ואי אשפר לקרות שני שמות כאחת – the mouth is unable to say two things at the same time.

דְּבָרָיו קַיָּמִין. דְּאַף בִּגְמַר דְּבָרָיו אָדָם נִתְפָּס:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

דבריו קיימין – that even at the conclusion of his words, the person is made responsible.

נִמְלַךְ וְאָמַר וְלָדָהּ עוֹלָה. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁחָזַר בּוֹ תּוֹךְ כְּדֵי דִבּוּר וְאָמַר וְלָדָהּ עוֹלָה, לֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם, הוֹאִיל וּבְשָׁעָה שֶׁהִקְדִּישׁ אִמּוֹ לִשְׁלָמִים לֹא נִתְכַּוֵּן שֶׁיִּהְיֶה הַוָּלָד עוֹלָה. מִשּׁוּם דְּקַיְמָא לָן כָּל תּוֹךְ כְּדֵי דִבּוּר כְּדִבּוּר דָּמֵי, חוּץ מִמַּקְדִּישׁ וּמֵימֵר וּמְגַדֵּף וְעוֹבֵד עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה וּמְקַדֵּשׁ וּמְגָרֵשׁ, דְּהָנָךְ שִׁשָּׁה אֵין הַחֲזָרָה מוֹעֶלֶת בָּהֶן אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁחָזַר בּוֹ תּוֹךְ כְּדֵי דִבּוּר. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

נמלך ואמר ולדה עולה – even though he retracted in as much time as is needed for an utterance and he stated that her offspring is a burnt-offering, he didn’t say anything, for since that at the time when he dedicated its mother as a peace-offering, he didn’t intend that the offspring would be a burnt-offering. Because we establish that every time as is needed for an utterance is like something spoken, except from one who dedicates and commands and blasphemes and worships idolatry and betroths and divorces, for these six [things] no retraction has any effect in them, even though he retracted in as much time as is needed for an utterance. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.

תְּמוּרַת עוֹלָה תְּמוּרַת שְׁלָמִים. גָּרְסִינַן, וְלֹא גָּרְסִינַן וּתְמוּרַת שְׁלָמִים:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

תמורת עולה תמורת שלמים – we have the reading, but we don’t have the reading, “and the substitute of peace offerings.”

הֲרֵי זוֹ תְמוּרַת עוֹלָה. דִּתְפֹס לָשׁוֹן רִאשׁוֹן:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

הרי זה תמורת עולה – for the first language takes hold.

דְּבָרָיו קַיָּמִין. וְחֶצְיָהּ תְּמוּרַת עוֹלָה וְחֶצְיָהּ תְּמוּרַת שְׁלָמִים. וְהַאי דְּלֹא קָאָמַר תְּמוּרַת עוֹלָה וּשְׁלָמִים וְאָמַר תְּמוּרָה אַתַּרְוַיְהוּ, מִשּׁוּם דְּסָבַר אִי אֲמֵינָא תְּמוּרַת עוֹלָה וּשְׁלָמִים תִּהְיֶה קְדוֹשָׁה וְלֹא קְרֵבָה, כְּדִין הָאוֹמֵר חֶצְיָהּ עוֹלָה וְחֶצְיָהּ שְׁלָמִים שֶׁהִיא קְדוֹשָׁה וְאֵינָהּ קְרֵבָה, וְטָעָה בְּהָכִי וְסָבַר אֵימַר תְּמוּרָה אַכָּל חַד וְחַד כִּי הֵיכִי דְּתֶהֱוֵי קְדֻשָּׁה גְּמוּרָה לִקָּרֵב, הִלְכָּךְ אַף עַל גַּב דְּאָמַר כִּי הַאי לִישָׁנָא, לְתַרְוַיְהוּ אִכַּוַּן, וְתִרְעֶה עַד שֶׁתִּסְתָּאֵב, וְתִמָּכֵר וְיָבִיא בִּדְמֵי חֶצְיָהּ עוֹלָה וּבִדְמֵי חֶצְיָהּ שְׁלָמִים, וּבְהָכִי עָסְקִינַן, כְּגוֹן שֶׁהָיוּ לְפָנָיו עוֹלָה וּשְׁלָמִים כְּשֶׁהֵמִיר אֶת זוֹ בָּהֶן. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

דבריו קיימין – and half of it is the substitute for a burnt-offering and half of it is the substitute of a peace-offering. And that which he didn’t state, the substitute for a burnt-offering and peace offering, ut he stated a substitute for both of them, because he (i.e., Rabbi Yossi) holds that if I stated the substitute of a burnt-offering and a peace-offering, it will be holy and not offered, according to the law that a person who states that half of it will be a burnt-offering and half of it a piece offering, that it is holy and not offered. And he erred in this and held that a lamb can be a substitute on each one of them just as it should be completely sanctified to be offered up, therefore, even though he stated it in this language, he intended it for both, but it should sent out to pasture until it develops a blemish and it should be sold and then he can bring with its monetary value half for a burnt-offering and with the monetary value of the [other] half a peace-offering, and in this we are dealing, as for example, that there were before him a burnt-offering and a peace-offering, when he substituted this for them. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.

תַּחַת זוֹ חֲלִיפַת זוֹ תְּמוּרַת זוֹ. כֻּלָּן לְשׁוֹן תְּמוּרָה הֵן:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

תחת זו חליפי זו תמורת זו – all of them are the language of substitution/exchange.

מְחֻלֶּלֶת. לְשׁוֹן חִלּוּל הוּא. וְלֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם, שֶׁאֵין בֶּהֱמַת קֹדֶשׁ תְּמִימָה יוֹצְאָה לְחֻלִּין:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

מחוללת – it is the language of desecration/defamation. And he didn’t say anything, for a sacred pure animal goes out to unconsecrated purposes.

וְאִם הָיָה הֶקְדֵּשׁ בַּעַל מוּם יֵצֵא לְחֻלִּין. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינוֹ שָׁוֶה כְּמוֹ הַהֶקְדֵּשׁ בַּעַל מוּם. דִּדְבַר תּוֹרָה אֲפִלּוּ הֶקְדֵּשׁ שָׁוֶה מֵאָה מָנֶה שֶׁחִלְּלוֹ עַל שָׁוֶה פְּרוּטָה, מְחֻלָּל. וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁיָּצָא לְחֻלִּין מִן הַתּוֹרָה, צָרִיךְ לַעֲשׂוֹת דָּמִים מִדְּרַבָּנָן, כְּלוֹמַר, לְהַשְׁלִים הַדָּמִים שֶׁלֹּא יִתְאַנֶּה הַהֶקְדֵּשׁ. אֲבָל מִן הַתּוֹרָה אֵין אוֹנָאָה לְהֶקְדֵּשׁ, דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא כה) אַל תּוֹנוּ אִישׁ אֶת אָחִיו, אָחִיו וְלֹא הֶקְדֵּשׁ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ואם היה הקדש בעל מום יצא לחולין – even though it is not worth like that of a consecrated animal with a blemish, according to the Torah, even something sanctified that is worth one-hundred Maneh that was redeemed for the equivalent of a penny, it is redeemed. And even though it went out to an unconsecrated purpose from the Torah, one must, according to the Rabbis make money, meaning to say, to pay the money so that the sanctified thing will not become overcharged, but from the Torah, there is no overreaching for that which is sanctified, as it is written (Leviticus 25:14): “you shall not wrong one another,” your brother/another person, but not that which is sanctified.

תַּחַת חַטָּאת אוֹ תַחַת עוֹלָה. סָתַם וְלֹא אָמַר תַּחַת חַטָּאת זוֹ אוֹ עוֹלָה זוֹ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

תחת חטאת או תחת עולה – he stated anonymously but did not state in place of this sin-offering or this burnt-offering.

לֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם. דִּכְתִיב (שם כז) לֹא יַחֲלִיפֶנּוּ וְלֹא יָמִיר אֹתוֹ, עַד שֶׁיִּהְיֶה הַהֶקְדֵּשׁ יָדוּעַ וּמְיֻחָד כְּשֶׁמֵּמִיר בּוֹ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

לא אמר כלום – as it is written (Leviticus 27:10): “One may not exchange or substitute another for it,” until the sanctified thing is known and special when one substitutes for it.

תַּחַת חַטָּאת זוֹ. וְהָיְתָה חַטָּאת עוֹמֶדֶת לְפָנָיו:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

תחת חטאת זו – and that sin-offering was standing before him.

הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ לְעוֹלָה. מַשְׁמַע לִדְמֵי עוֹלָה. דְּאִי אִינְהוּ גּוּפַיְהוּ בָּעֵי לְאַקְרוֹבֵי, הֲוָה אָמַר הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ עוֹלָה:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

הרי אלו לעולה – which implies for the monetary value of the burnt-offering, for if they themselves want to offer it, he would say, “lo, these are a burnt-offering.”
