הָאוֹכֵל תְּרוּמָה מֵזִיד. בְּלֹא הַתְרָאָה, דְּאִלּוּ אִתְרוּ בֵיהּ לוֹקֶה וְאֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם. וְאַף עַל גַּב דִּבְלֹא הַתְרָאָה חַיָּב מִיתָה בִּידֵי שָׁמַיִם, אֵינָהּ פּוֹטֶרֶת מִן הַתַּשְׁלוּמִין:
האוכל תרומה מזיד – without warning, for whereas if they warned him, he is flogged and does not pay. But even thought that without warning, he is liable for death at the hands of heaven, he is not exempted from payment/indemnity.
וְאֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם אֶת הַחֹמֶשׁ. דְּלֹא חִיְּבָה תּוֹרָה חֹמֶשׁ אֶלָּא לָאוֹכֵל תְּרוּמָה בִּשְׁגָגָה:
ואינו משלם את החומש – for the Torah did not obligate the added fifth, other than for one who consumes heave-offering inadvertently.
הַתַּשְׁלוּמִין חֻלִּין. דְּתַשְׁלוּמִין דְּשׁוֹגֵג בִּלְבָד קָרִינְהוּ רַחֲמָנָא קֹדֶשׁ, כְּדִכְתִיב וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן אֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ, אֲבָל תַּשְׁלוּמִין דְּמֵזִיד חֻלִּין הֵן, וְהוֹאִיל וְהֵן חֻלִּין אִם רָצָה הַכֹּהֵן לִמְחֹל מוֹחֵל, מַה שֶּׁאֵין כֵּן בְּתַשְׁלוּמִין שֶׁל שׁוֹגֵג שֶׁאִם רָצָה לִמְחֹל אֵינוֹ מוֹחֵל, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן קֹדֶשׁ:
התשלומין חולין – for payment of someone who acted inadvertently alone, the All-Merciful calls him “holy,” 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],” but payment of someone who acts willfully is unconsecrated produce, for since they are unconsecrated, if the Kohen wants to refuse, he can refuse, what is not the case with payment of a person who acts inadvertently, that if he wants to refuse it, he cannot refuse it because they are holy.
בַּת כֹּהֵן שֶׁנִּשֵּׂאת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל. וַאֲסוּרָה לֶאֱכֹל בִּתְרוּמָה:
בת כהן שנשאת לישראל – and she is forbidden to consume heave-offering.
מְשַׁלֶּמֶת אֶת הַקֶּרֶן. כְּדִין גּוֹזֵל אֶת חֲבֵרוֹ, אֲבָל לֹא חֹמֶשׁ, דְּכֹהֶנֶת הִיא, וּכְתִיב (ויקרא כב) וְכָל זָר לֹא יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ, יָצְאָה זֹאת שֶׁאֵינָהּ זָרָה וְאֶפְשָׁר לָהּ שֶׁתָּשׁוּב לְבֵית אָבִיהָ כִּנְעוּרֶיהָ וּתְהֵא מֻתֶּרֶת לֶאֱכֹל בִּתְרוּמָה:
משלמת את הקרן – according to the law of someone who steals from his neighbor, but not the added fifth, for she is the daughter of a Kohen, as it is written (Leviticus 22:10): “No lay person shall eat of the sacred donations,” excluding this one who is not a foreigner (for after all, she is the daughter of a Kohen), and it is possible for her that she will return to the house of her father like in her youth (i.e., if she is divorced by her husband, for example) and she would be permitted to eat heave-offering.
וּמִיתָתָהּ בִּשְׂרֵפָה. אִם זָנְתָה תַּחַת בַּעְלָהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל, כְּדִכְתִיב (ויקרא כא) וּבַת אִישׁ כֹּהֵן כִּי תֵחֵל לִזְנוֹת וְכוּ', כָּל שֶׁהִיא בַּת כֹּהֵן, לֹא שְׁנָא אֵשֶׁת כֹּהֵן וְלֹא שְׁנָא אֵשֶׁת יִשְׂרָאֵל, בָּאֵשׁ תִּשָּׂרֵף:
ומיתתה בשריפה – if she ran about as a prostitute underneath her Israelite husband, as it is written (Leviticus 21:9): “When the daughter of a priest defiles herself through harlotry, [it is her father whom she defiles; she shall be put to the fire],” as long as she is the daughter of a Kohen, it doesn’t matter whether the wife of a Kohen nor the wife of an Israelite, she is [put to death] through burning by fire.
נִשֵּׂאת לְאֶחָד מִכָּל הַפְּסוּלִים. כְּגוֹן חָלָל נָתִין וּמַמְזֵר, מְשַׁלֶּמֶת קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ, שֶׁהֲרֵי נִתְחַלְּלָה בְּבִיאָתוֹ וְאֵינָהּ רְאוּיָה עוֹד לֶאֱכֹל בִּתְרוּמָה וַהֲרֵי הִיא כְזָרָה:
נשאת לאחד מכל הפסולים – as, for example, one unfit for the priesthood on account of his father’s illegitimate connection/חלל, a descendant of the Gibeonites/נתין and an illegitimate child/ממזר, pays the principle and an added fifth, for she became degraded/desecrated through his sexual union [with her] and she is not worthy any longer to consume heave-offering, and behold, she is like a foreign woman.
וּמִיתָתָהּ בְּחֶנֶק. דִּכְתִיב וּבַת אִישׁ כֹּהֵן כִּי תֵחֵל לִזְנוֹת, מִי שֶׁרְאוּיָה לַחֲזֹר לְבֵית אָבִיהָ אִלְמָלֵא זְנוּת זֶה הִיא בִשְׂרֵפָה, יָצְתָה נִבְעֶלֶת לְפָסוּל לָהּ שֶׁאֵינָהּ רְאוּיָה לַחֲזֹר לְבֵית אָבִיהָ, שֶׁזּוֹ אֵינָהּ בִּשְׂרֵפָה:
ומיתתה בחנק – as it is written (Leviicus 21:9): “When the daughter of a priest defiles herself though harlotry.” Whomever is worthy of returning to her father’s house, if it were not for this prostitution, she [would be punished] by fire/burning, excluding if she had sexual intercourse with someone who is unfit for her where she is not worthy to return to her father’s house, for this is not [punishable] through burning.
וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים וְכוּ'. דְּלֹא הַוְיָא זָרָה עַד שֶׁתְּהֵא זָרָה מִתְּחִלָּתָהּ וְעַד סוֹפָהּ, וְזוֹ הוֹאִיל וּכְבָר אָכְלָה בִּתְרוּמָה אֵינָהּ מְשַׁלֶּמֶת אֶת הַחֹמֶשׁ:
וחכמים אומרים כוכ' – for she is not a “foreign woman” until she is a foreigner from her beginning until her hend, and this since she has already eaten heave-offering, she does not pay the added firth.
וּמִיתָתָהּ בִּשְׂרֵפָה. וּבַת אִישׁ כֹּהֵן כְּתִיב, מִכָּל מָקוֹם. וַהֲלָכָה כַּחֲכָמִים:
ומיתתה בשריפה – “when the daughter of a priest” (Leviticus 21:9) is written, anyway. And he Halakha is according to the Sages.
הַמַּאֲכִיל אֶת בָּנָיו קְטַנִּים. דְּלָאו בְּנֵי חִיּוּבָא נִינְהוּ, וַעֲבָדָיו אֲפִלּוּ גְדוֹלִים:
המאכיל את בניו הקטנים – for these [minor-age children] are not liable, and his slaves, even if they are adults.
וּתְרוּמַת חוּץ לָאָרֶץ. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהִיא מְדַמַּעַת, אֵין מוֹסִיפִין חֹמֶשׁ עָלֶיהָ:
ותרומה חוץ לארץ – even though it is subject to the laws of heave-offering/Terumah, we don’t add the added-fifth [payment] to it.
לְתוֹךְ שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה נָפְלָה. וְשֶׁל חֻלִּין מֻתֶּרֶת. וְדַוְקָא בִּשְׁתֵּי קֻפּוֹת אַחַת שֶׁל חֻלִּין וְאַחַת שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, תָּלִינַן תְּרוּמָה לְתוֹךְ תְּרוּמָה נָפְלָה, שֶׁיֵּשׁ הֶתֵּר לִשְׁתֵּי הַקֻּפּוֹת. אֲבָל אַחַת חֻלִּין וְאַחַת טֶבֶל אוֹ מַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָזֶה, לֹא תָלִינַן שֶׁנָּפְלָה הַתְּרוּמָה לַטֶּבֶל כְּדֵי לְהַתִּיר הַחֻלִּין, מֵאַחַר שֶׁהַטֶּבֶל נִדְמַע וְנֶאֱסַר, דְּמַאי חָזֵית לֶאֱסֹר קֻפָּה זוֹ יוֹתֵר מִזּוֹ. וְכֵן טְמֵאָה וּטְהוֹרָה תָּלִינַן בַּטְּמֵאָה, אוֹ מְדֻמַּעַת וְשֶׁאֵינָהּ מְדֻמַּעַת תָּלִינַן בַּמְּדֻמַּעַת. כְּלָלָא דְמִלְּתָא, כָּל הֵיכָא דְּאַחַת אֵינָהּ מִתְקַלְקֶלֶת, תָּלִינַן בָּהּ:
לתך על תרומה נפלה – and that of heave-offering is permitted, and specifically, with two bins, one of unconsecrated produce and one of heave-offering. We suspend heave-offering into heave-offering that fell that has a permission for two bins. But if one of them is unconsecrated produce and one of them are eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts/טבל, or First Tithe and similar kinds of things, we do not suspend that the heave-offering fell into eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts in order to permit the unconsecrated produce, for after that the eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts became totally prohibited to non-priests, and for why do you see it appropriate to prohibit this bin more than that one? And similarly, with ritually impure or ritually pure, we suspend with ritually impure or with something completely forbidden to non-Kohanim and that which is not completely forbidden to non-Kohanim we suspend with that which is completely forbidden to non-Kohanim? The general principle of the matter is that wherever that one is not spoiled/ruined, we suspend it.
אָכַל אַחַת מֵהֶן פָּטוּר. דְּשֶׁמָּא שֶׁל חֻלִּין אָכַל:
אבל אחת מהן פטור – for perhaps he ate from unconsecrated produce.
וְחַיֶּבֶת בְּחַלָּה. דְּסָפֵק חֻלִּין הִיא:
וחייבת בחלה – for it is doubtful unconsecrated produce.
וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי פּוֹטֵר. דְּכֵיוָן דְּלֹא יְדִיעַ הֲוָה לֵיהּ כִּמְדֻמָּע דְּפָטוּר מִן הַחַלָּה. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי בְּכָל הַנֵּי תְּלָתָא בָּבֵי דְמַתְנִיתִין:
ורבי יוסי פוטר – for since he did not know it would be like something forbidden to non-Kohanim (i.e., the that which is Terumah mixed with unconsecrated produce) , which is exempt from Hallah. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yosi in all three segments of our Mishnah.
אָכַל. אָדָם אַחֵר אֶת הַשְּׁנִיָּה, פָּטוּר:
אכל – another person ate from the second [bin], he is exempt.
כַּקְּטַנָּה שֶׁבִּשְׁנֵיהֶן. לְהָקֵל:
כקטנה שבשניהם – to be lenient.
אֵינָהּ מְדַמַּעַת. דְּשֶׁמָּא הַיְנוּ אוֹתָהּ שֶׁל חֻלִּין:
אינה מדמעת – for perhaps it is identical with that of unconsecrated produce.
זָרַע אַחַת מֵהֶן פָּטוּר. שֶׁהַזּוֹרֵעַ אֶת הַתְּרוּמָה בְּשׁוֹגֵג צָרִיךְ לְהַפֵּךְ אֶת הַקַּרְקַע, וְאִם לֹא הִפֵּךְ, הַגִּדּוּלִים תְּרוּמָה, וְהָכָא פָּטוּר, דִּכְחֻלִּין הֵם:
זרע אחת מהן פטור – he who sows heave-offering/Terumah inadvertently, must turn over the ground, and if he did not overturn it, the large ones are Terumah/heave-offering, but here he is exempt because they are like unconsecrated produce.
בְּדָבָר שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ כָלֶה. כְּגוֹן חִטִּים וּשְׂעוֹרִים, מֻתָּר לְזָרִים, דְּאֵין זוֹ תְּרוּמָה וַדַּאי, וְחָשְׁבִינַן לַהּ כְּגִדּוּלֵי [מְדֻמָּע] דִּתְנַן לְקַמָּן בְּפֶרֶק ט' שֶׁהֵן חֻלִּין:
בדבר שזרעו כלה (the seed does not disintegrate) – as, for example, wheat and barley; it is permitted to foreigners (i.e., non-Kohanim) for this is not definitely heave offering, but we consider it like the growth [of produce entirely forbidden to foreigners] as is taught in the Mishnah in chapter nine (see Tractate Terumot, Chapter 9, Mishnayot 5-6) that they are unconsecrated produce.
בְּדָבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָלֶה. כְּגוֹן שׁוּם וּבְצָלִים, אָסוּר, וְאַף עַל גַּב דְּחָשְׁבִינַן לֵיהּ כִּמְדֻמָּע וְלֹא כִתְרוּמָה, בְּדָבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָלֶה יֵשׁ לְהַחְמִיר טְפֵי:
כדבר שאין זרעו כלה – as, for example, garlic and onions which are forbidden, even though we consider it as something completely forbidden to non-priests, and not like Terumah, for in a case where the seed does not disintegrate, we must be more stringent.
