הָאוֹכֵל תְּרוּמָה שׁוֹגֵג מְשַׁלֵּם קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ. כְּדִכְתִיב (ויקרא כב) כִּי יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה וְיָסַף חֲמִשִּׁיתוֹ עָלָיו. וְהַחֹמֶשׁ הוּא רְבִיעִית מַה שֶּׁאָכַל, כְּגוֹן אִם אָכַל תְּרוּמָה שֶׁשָּׁוָה דִּינָר מְשַׁלֵּם דִּינָר וּרְבִיעַ, שֶׁהֵם בֵּין הַכֹּל חֲמִשָּׁה רְבִיעִיּוֹת דִּינָר, נִמְצָא הַקֶּרֶן עִם חֻמְשׁוֹ חֲמִשָּׁה. וְכָל חֳמָשִׁים הָאֲמוּרִים בַּתּוֹרָה כָּךְ הֵם:

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

האוכל תרומה שוגג משלם קרן וחומש – as it is written (Leviticus 22:14): “but if a man eats a sacred donation unwittingly, he shall pay the priest for the sacred donation, adding one-fifth of its value.” And the one-fifth is one quarter of what he ate, as for example, if he ate heave-offering that was worth a Denar, he pays a Deinar and one-quarter, which are amidst all, five-fourths Denar, it is found that the principle with its fifth is five, and all the added-fifths mentioned in the Torah are such.

אֶחָד הַשּׁוֹתֶה. יַיִן:

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

אחד השותה – [who drinks] wine.

וְאֶחָד הַסָּךְ. שֶׁמֶן. דִּשְׁתִיָּה בִּכְלַל אֲכִילָה דִּכְתִיב (דברים יד) בַּבָּקָר וּבַצֹּאן וּבַיַּיִן וּבַשֵּׁכָר, וּכְתִיב בַּתְרֵיהּ וְאָכַלְתָּ שָׁם. וְסִיכָה כִּשְׁתִיָּה דִּכְתִיב (תהלים קט) וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ וְכַשֶּׁמֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָיו:

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

ואחד הסך – [who anoints] with oil. For drinking is included within eating, as it is written (Deuteronomy 14:26): “[and spend the money on anything you want -] cattle, sheep, wine, or any other intoxicant,” and it is written afterwards (ibid.,) “and you shall feast there.” And anointing is like drinking, as it is written (Psalms 109:18): “May it enter his body like water, his bones like oil.”

וְחֹמֶשׁ חֻמְשָׁהּ. שֶׁאִם אָכַל תְּרוּמָה וְשִׁלֵּם קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ, וְחָזַר וְאָכַל תַּשְׁלוּמֵי הַחֹמֶשׁ, מוֹסִיף חֹמֶשׁ עַל אוֹתוֹ חֹמֶשׁ:

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

וחומש חומשה – for if he ate heave-offering and paid the principal and added-fifth, and went back and ate the payment of the fifth, he adds a fifth on that same fifth.

אֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם תְּרוּמָה. שֶׁהַתְּרוּמָה לַכֹּהֵן, וְתַשְׁלוּמֵי מַה שֶּׁאָכַל הֵם חוֹב עָלָיו, וְאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לִפְרֹעַ חוֹבוֹ מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר:

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

אינו משלם תרומה – for the heave-offering is for the Kohen, and the payments of what he ate are an obligation upon hi, and he is not able to pays his obligation from another place.

אֶלָּא חֻלִּין מְתֻקָּנִים. שֶׁהִפְרִישׁוּ מֵהֶן תְּרוּמוֹת וּמַעַשְׂרוֹת, דְּרַחֲמָנָא אָמַר (ויקרא כב) וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן אֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ, דָּבָר הָרָאוּי לִהְיוֹת קֹדֶשׁ. וְחֹמֶשׁ נַמִּי צָרִיךְ לִהְיוֹת מֵחֻלִּין מְתֻקָּנִים, דִּכְתִיב (שם) וְיָסַף חֲמִשִּׁיתוֹ עָלָיו, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁחֻמְּשׁוֹ כְּמוֹתוֹ:

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

אלא חולין מתקונים – tha they separated from them heave-offerings and tithes, for the All-Merciful stated (Leviticus 22:14): “He shall pay the priest for the sacred donation,” that things which is appropriate to me holy. And the added fifth also needs to come from designated unconsecrated produce , as it is written (Leviticus 22:14): “adding one-fifth of its value,” teaching that its added fifth is like it.

וְהֵן נַעֲשִׂין תְּרוּמָה. אוֹתָן חֻלִּין מְתֻקָּנִים:

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

והן נעשין תרומה – those designated unconsecrated produce.

וְהַתַּשְׁלוּמִין תְּרוּמָה. שֶׁאִם חָזַר וְאָכַל בְּשׁוֹגֵג אוֹתָן חֻלִּין שֶׁנִּשְׁתַּלְּמוּ, מַה שֶּׁחוֹזֵר וּמְשַׁלֵּם תַּחְתֵּיהֶן גַּם הֵם נַעֲשִׂין תְּרוּמָה:

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

והתשלומין תרומה – if he went back and inadvertently ate that unconsecrated produce that had been paid, what he goes back and pays in their place, they also become heave-offering.

אֵינוֹ מוֹחֵל. דְּכֵיוָן דִּגְזֵרַת הַכָּתוּב הִיא דְּחַיָּב לְשַׁלֵּם דָּבָר הָרָאוּי לִהְיוֹת קֹדֶשׁ וְאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לִפְטֹר עַצְמוֹ בְּדָמִים, אֵין הַדָּבָר תָּלוּי בַּבְּעָלִים:

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

אינו מוחל – for since the decree of the Biblical verse is that he is liable to pay the appropriate thing to become holy and is not able to exempt himself with money, the matter is not dependent upon the owners.

בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל. שֶׁהִפְרִישָׁה תְּרוּמָה וְלֹא נָתְנָה אוֹתָהּ לַכֹּהֵן וַאֲכָלָתָהּ שׁוֹגֵג:

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

בת ישראל – [the daughter of an Israelite] who separated heave-offering, but did not give it to the Kohen and inadvertently ate it [herself].

וְאַחַר כָּךְ נִשֵּׂאת לַכֹּהֵן. וַהֲרֵי הִיא רְאוּיָה לֶאֱכֹל בִּתְרוּמָה, דְּאֵשֶׁת כֹּהֵן אוֹכֶלֶת בִּתְרוּמָה:

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

ואח"כ נשאת לכהן – and behold she is worthy to consume heave-offering/Terumah for the wife of a Kohen eats heave-offering/Terumah.

מְשַׁלֶּמֶת קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ לְעַצְמָהּ. שֶׁהֲרֵי אִם הָיְתָה אוֹתָהּ תְּרוּמָה שֶׁאָכְלָה עַכְשָׁיו בְּעַיִן לֹא הָיְתָה חַיֶּבֶת לִתְּנָהּ לַכֹּהֵן, דְּהִיא נַעֲשֵׂית כֹּהֶנֶת בְּנִשּׂוּאֶיהָ, הִלְכָּךְ עַתָּה נַמִּי הַתַּשְׁלוּמִים הֵן שֶׁלָּהּ:

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

משלמת קרן וחומש לעצמה – behold if that selfsame heave-offering that she ate now in its natural form, she would not be liable to give to a Kohen for she has become a Kohenet through her marriage. Therefore, now, the payments are hers.

מְשַׁלֶּמֶת קֶרֶן לַבְּעָלִים. כְּדִין גּוֹזֵל חֲבֵרוֹ, אֲבָל הַחֹמֶשׁ תְּעַכֵּב לְעַצְמָהּ:

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

משלמת קרן לבעלים – according to the law of steal from one’s colleague, but the added fifth is detained for herself.

הוּא מְשַׁלֵּם אֶת הַקֶּרֶן. דְּמֵי תְרוּמָה, כְּדִין גּוֹזֵל, שֶׁהֲרֵי הוּא נַעֲשָׂה גַּזְלָן עָלֶיהָ:

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

הוא משלם את הקרן – he value of the heave-offering, according to the law of theft for he has become a thief regarding it.

וְהֵן מְשַׁלְּמִין אֶת הַחֹמֶשׁ. עֲוֹן אֲכִילָתָן בְּשׁוֹגֵג, שֶׁאֵין מְשַׁלֵּם חֹמֶשׁ אֶלָּא אוֹכֵל וְשׁוֹתֶה וְסָךְ עַצְמוֹ, אֲבָל הַמַּזִּיק אֶת הַתְּרוּמָה אֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם חֹמֶשׁ, דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא כב) וְאִישׁ כִּי יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ, פְּרָט לְמַזִּיק:

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

והן משלמין את החומש – the transgression of their eating inadvertently, but they do not pay the added firth, but rather eat and drink and anoint himself , but the person who damages the heave-offering does not pay the added fifth, as it is written (Leviticus 22:14): “But if a man eats of a sacred donation unwittingly, [he shall pay the priest for the sacred donation, adding one-fifth of its value], excluding the one who causes damage.

הֵן מְשַׁלְּמִין קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ. חֻלִּין מְתֻקָּנִים, וְיֵעָשׂוּ תְרוּמָה, וְהוּא מְשַׁלֵּם לָהֶם דְּמֵי חֻלִּין שֶׁהָיָה צָרִיךְ לְהַאֲכִילָן. וְאִיכָּא בֵּינַיְהוּ דִּלְרַבִּי מֵאִיר אֵין הַמַּאֲכִיל מְשַׁלֵּם אֶלָּא דְּמֵי תְרוּמָה, וּלְרַבָּנָן מְשַׁלֵּם דְּמֵי חֻלִּין:

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

הן משלמין קרן וחומש – properly designated unconsecrated produce, and they should make it Terumah, and he pays them the value of the unconsecrated produce that he would have had to feed them. But there is a difference between them, for the person who feeds does not pay anything ought the value of the heave-offering, but according to the Rabbis, he pays the value of the unconsecrated produce.

דְּמֵי תְרוּמָה. שֶׁאֵין דָּמֶיהָ יְקָרִים כְּחֻלִּין:

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

דמי תרומה – for its value is not expensive like unconsecrated produce.

קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ מִן הַחֻלִּין. וְהֵן נַעֲשִׂין תְּרוּמָה, כְּדִין כָּל אוֹכֵל תְּרוּמָה בִּשְׁגָגָה:

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

וחומש מן החולין – and they are made heave-offering, like the law of all who eat heave-offering inadvertently.

וְקֶרֶן דְּמֵי תְרוּמָה. מִשּׁוּם כֶּפֶל לַגַּנָּב:

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

וקרן דמי תרומה – because of the double [fine] to the thief.

תְּרוּמַת הֶקְדֵּשׁ. שֶׁהִקְדִּישׁ הַכֹּהֵן תְּרוּמָה לְבֶדֶק הַבַּיִת:

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

תרומת הקדש – that the Kohen dedicated for Temple repair.

שְׁנֵי חֳמָשִׁים. חַד מִשּׁוּם אוֹכֵל תְּרוּמָה, וְחַד מִשּׁוּם נֶהֱנֶה מִן הַהֶקְדֵּשׁ. אֲבָל כֶּפֶל בְּהֶקְדֵּשׁ לֵיכָּא, דִּכְתִיב (שמות כב) יְשַׁלֵּם שְׁנַיִם לְרֵעֵהוּ, וְלֹא לַהֶקְדֵּשׁ:

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

שני חומשים – one because he at heave-offering, and one because he benefited from that which was dedicated to the Temple, but there is no double payment for dedication to the Temple, as it is written (Exodus 22:8): “he whom God declares guilty shall pay double to the other,” but not to the Temple.

מִן הַלֶּקֶט מִן הַשִּׁכְחָה וּמִן הַפֵּאָה. מִשּׁוּם דְּאֵין בָּהֶם זִיקַת תְּרוּמָה וּמַעַשְׂרוֹת, הִלְכָּךְ לֹא הֲוֵי בִּכְלַל דָּבָר הָרָאוּי לִהְיוֹת קֹדֶשׁ. וְלֹא דָמִי לְחֻלִּין מְתֻקָּנִים, דְּהַנְהוּ הָיוּ רְאוּיִן לִהְיוֹת קֹדֶשׁ קֹדֶם שֶׁנִּתְקְנוּ, אֲבָל לֶקֶט שִׁכְחָה וּפֵאָה מֵעוֹלָם לֹא נִרְאוּ לִהְיוֹת קֹדֶשׁ:

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

מן הלקט ומן השכחה ומן הפאה – because they do not have in them the obligation [to pay] heave-offering/Terumah and tithes, therefore, they are not within the general thing that is appropriate to become holy, and they are not similar to designated unconsecrated produce for these were appropriate to being holy prior to being designated/fixed, but gleanings and that which was forgotten and the corner [of the field] did not appear to be holy.

וּמִן הַהֶפְקֵר. לְאַחַר שֶׁזָּכָה בוֹ:

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

ומן ההפקר – for after he took possession of it.

וְלֹא מִמַּעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁנִּטְּלָה תְרוּמָתוֹ. וְאַף עַל גַּב דְּהַשְׁתָּא הֲוֵי כְּחֻלִּין הַמְתֻקָּנִים, כֵּיוָן דְּקֹדֶם שֶׁנִּטְּלָה תְרוּמָתוֹ לֹא חָזֵי, הַשְׁתָּא נַמִּי לֹא חָזֵי:

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

ולא ממעשר ראשון שנטלה תרומתו – for even though that now, they are like designated/fixed unconsecrated produce, since it precedes taking its heave-offering it was not appropriate, it is also not not appropriate.

שֶׁאֵין הֶקְדֵּשׁ פּוֹדֶה הֶקְדֵּשׁ. וְאֵלּוּ חֲשׁוּבִים כְּהֶקְדֵּשׁ קֹדֶם שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ, וְאֵין אָדָם יָכוֹל לִפְטֹר עַצְמוֹ בְּמָמוֹן גָּבוֹהַּ. וְסָבַר רַבִּי מֵאִיר מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי מָמוֹן גָּבוֹהַּ הוּא, וְכֵיוָן דְּקֹדֶם שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ לֹא חָזוּ תּוּ לֹא חָזוּ לְאַחַר שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ:

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

שאין הקדש פודה הקדש – and these are important like that something dedicated to the Temple prior to their being redeemed, and a person cannot exempt himself with the money belonging to “On High.” And Rabbi Meir holds that Second Tithe is the money of “On High,” and since it is prior to their being redeemed they were not appropriate, further, it is not appropriate after they are redeemed.

וַחֲכָמִים מַתִּירִין בָּאֵלּוּ. בְּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי וְהֶקְדֵּשׁ שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ. וַהֲלָכָה כַּחֲכָמִים:

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

וחכמים מתירין באלו – with Second Tithe and that dedicated to the Temple which was redeemed. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

שֶׁיְּשַׁלֵּם מִן הַיָּפֶה עַל הָרָע. כְּגוֹן שֶׁאָכַל גְּרוֹגָרוֹת, וּלְפִי מִדָּה שֶׁאָכַל גְּרוֹגָרוֹת יְשַׁלֵּם תְּמָרִים, וְלֹא לְפִי דָמִים, דְּכֵיוָן דִּבְזוּזָא אָכַל וּבְזוּזָא מְשַׁלֵּם, מַאי נַפְקָא מִנָּהּ שֶׁיְּשַׁלֵּם מִן הַיָּפֶה עַל הָרָע. וְאִיכָּא לְמַאן דְּאָמַר דַּאֲפִלּוּ לְפִי דָמִים מָצִינַן לְמֵימַר דְּאִי אָכַל מִידֵי דְּלֹא קָפַץ עָלֵיהּ זָבֵינָא מְשַׁלֵּם מִידֵי דְקָפַץ עָלֵיהּ זָבֵינָא:

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

שישלם מן היפה על הרע – as for example, that he ate dried figs, and according to the measure that he consumed dried figs, he should pay dates, and not according to the value, for since that he consumed a Zuz’s worth, that he pays back a Zuz – what difference does it make to him if he should pay from greater choice for less choice. And here are those who state that even according to the value, we are able to say that if he ate something that purchasers don’t jump to buy, he should pay with something that purchasers jump to buy. and are not worthy for eating, but another species he is not able [to pay]; he must wait until the aftermath of the Sabbatical year and pay from cucumbers from the aftermath of the Seventh Year, but from the Seventh Year [itself] are forbidden to pay his liability, for that is similar to doing business [which is prohibited on the Sabbatical year].

לְפִיכָךְ. שֶׁאֵין יָכוֹל לְשַׁלֵּם מִמִּין אַחֵר, אִם אָכַל קִשּׁוּאִים שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה שֶׁל עֶרֶב שְׁבִיעִית וְאֵין קִשּׁוּאִים שֶׁל אוֹתָהּ שָׁנָה מְצוּיִים עוֹד, שֶׁכְּבָר נִתְקַשּׁוּ וְלֹא חָזוּ לַאֲכִילָה, וּמִין אַחֵר אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְשַׁלֵּם, צָרִיךְ לְהַמְתִּין לְמוֹצָאֵי שְׁבִיעִית וִישַׁלֵּם מִקִּשּׁוּאִין שֶׁל מוֹצָאֵי שְׁבִיעִית, דְּמִשֶּׁל שְׁבִיעִית אָסוּר לִפְרֹעַ חוֹבוֹ, דְּדָמֵי לִסְחוֹרָה:

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

לפיכך – he cannot pay with another species; if he ate cucumbers of terumah from the eve of the Sabbatical year and cucumbers from that year are no longer available because they have hardened and are not fit for eating, and he cannot pay with another species, he needs to wait until after the Sabbatical year and pay with cucumbers from after the Sabbatical year, because it is forbidden to pay one's debt with produce from the Sabbatical year, as it resembles doing business [with Sabbatical produce].
