Mishnah 1א׳

הַכּוֹנֵס צֹאן לַדִּיר, וְנָעַל בְּפָנֶיהָ כָּרָאוּי, וְיָצְאָה וְהִזִּיקָה, פָּטוּר. לֹא נָעַל בְּפָנֶיהָ כָּרָאוּי, וְיָצְאָה וְהִזִּיקָה, חַיָּב. נִפְרְצָה בַלַּיְלָה אוֹ שֶׁפְּרָצוּהָ לִסְטִים, וְיָצְאָה וְהִזִּיקָה, פָּטוּר. הוֹצִיאוּהָ לִסְטִים, לִסְטִים חַיָּבִים:

A man who brings sheep into a corral and locks the door in front of them properly, but the sheep escapes and causes damage, he is exempt. If he did not lock the door in front of them properly, and it went out and caused damage, he is liable. If the wall broke down at night, or if thieves broke it and the sheep escaped and caused damage, he is exempt. If thieves took them out, then the thieves are liable.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הִנִּיחָהּ בַּחַמָּה, אוֹ שֶׁמְּסָרָהּ לְחֵרֵשׁ, שׁוֹטֶה וְקָטָן, וְיָצְאָה וְהִזִּיקָה, חַיָּב. מְסָרָהּ לְרוֹעֶה, נִכְנָס רוֹעֶה תַּחְתָּיו. נָפְלָה לְגִנָּה וְנֶהֱנֵית, מְשַׁלֶּמֶת מַה שֶּׁנֶּהֶנֵית. יָרְדָה כְדַרְכָּהּ וְהִזִּיקָה, מְשַׁלֶּמֶת מַה שֶּׁהִזִּיקָה. כֵּיצַד מְשַׁלֶּמֶת מַה שֶּׁהִזִּיקָה, שָׁמִין בֵּית סְאָה בְּאוֹתָה שָׂדֶה, כַּמָּה הָיְתָה יָפָה וְכַמָּה הִיא יָפָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אָכְלָה פֵּרוֹת גְּמוּרִים מְשַׁלֶּמֶת פֵּרוֹת גְּמוּרִים. אִם סְאָה סְאָה, אִם סָאתַיִם סָאתָיִם:

If the owner left it in the sun, or he left it in the care of a deaf-mute, a shoteh, or a minor, and it escaped and caused damage, he is liable. If he handed them over to the care of a shepherd, the shepherd enters in his place [he assumes responsibility] . If a sheep fell into a garden and derived benefit, he pays from what which it benefited. However, if it had gone down in its usual manner and caused damage, he would pay the damage that it caused. How is recompense payed for the amount of damage? We compare the value of a seah's measurement in the field as it was [before the damage], with what its value is now [after damage]. Rabbi Shimon says: If it consumed ripe fruits, he pays [value of] ripe fruits. If it consumed one se'ah's worth, he pays one se'ah. If two se'ah's worth, two se'ah.

Mishnah 3ג׳

הַמַּגְדִּישׁ בְּתוֹךְ שָׂדֶה שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ שֶׁלֹּא בִרְשׁוּת, וַאֲכָלָתַן בְּהֶמְתּוֹ שֶׁל בַּעַל הַשָּׂדֶה, פָּטוּר. וְאִם הֻזְּקָה בָהֶן, בַּעַל הַגָּדִישׁ חַיָּב. וְאִם הִגְדִּישׁ בִּרְשׁוּת, בַּעַל הַשָּׂדֶה חַיָּב:

One who made a stack of sheaves in his fellow’s field without his permission, and the owner of the field’s cattle ate the sheaves, he [the field owner] is exempt. If [the cattle] were injured by them, he is liable. If he made the stack with his permission, the owner of the field is liable.

Mishnah 4ד׳

הַשּׁוֹלֵחַ אֶת הַבְּעֵרָה בְּיַד חֵרֵשׁ, שׁוֹטֶה וְקָטָן, פָּטוּר בְּדִינֵי אָדָם וְחַיָּב בְּדִינֵי שָׁמָיִם. שָׁלַח בְּיַד פִּקֵּחַ, הַפִּקֵּחַ חַיָּב. אֶחָד הֵבִיא אֶת הָאוּר, וְאֶחָד הֵבִיא אֶת הָעֵצִים, הַמֵּבִיא אֶת הָעֵצִים חַיָּב. אֶחָד הֵבִיא אֶת הָעֵצִים, וְאֶחָד הֵבִיא אֶת הָאוּר, הַמֵּבִיא אֶת הָאוּר חַיָּב. בָּא אַחֵר וְלִבָּה, הַמְּלַבֶּה חַיָּב. לִבְּתָה הָרוּחַ, כֻּלָּן פְּטוּרִין. הַשּׁוֹלֵחַ אֶת הַבְּעֵרָה וְאָכְלָה עֵצִים, אוֹ אֲבָנִים, אוֹ עָפָר, חַיָּב, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות כב) כִּי תֵצֵא אֵשׁ וּמָצְאָה קוֹצִים וְנֶאֱכַל גָּדִישׁ אוֹ הַקָּמָה אוֹ הַשָּׂדֶה, שַׁלֵּם יְשַׁלֵּם הַמַּבְעִיר אֶת הַבְּעֵרָה. עָבְרָה גָּדֵר שֶׁהוּא גָּבוֹהַּ אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, אוֹ דֶּרֶךְ הָרַבִּים, אוֹ נָהָר, פָּטוּר. הַמַּדְלִיק בְּתוֹךְ שֶׁלּוֹ, עַד כַּמָּה תַעֲבֹר הַדְּלֵקָה. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה אוֹמֵר, רוֹאִין אוֹתוֹ כְּאִלוּ הוּא בְאֶמְצַע בֵּית כּוֹר. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, שֵׁשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה אַמּוֹת, כְּדֶרֶךְ רְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, חֲמִשִּׁים אַמָּה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, שַׁלֵּם יְשַׁלֵּם הַמַּבְעִיר אֶת הַבְּעֵרָה (שמות כב), הַכֹּל לְפִי הַדְּלֵקָה:

One who sends a fire in the hands of a deaf-mute, a shoteh, or a minor is exempt by the laws of man, but he is liable by the laws of Heaven. If he sent it in the hands of a person of sound senses, the one of sound senses is liable. If one brought the fire and another brought the wood, he that brought the wood is liable. If one brought the wood and another brought fire, he that brought the fire is liable. If another came and lit the fire, the one who lit the fire is liable. If the wind fanned the flames, they are all exempt. One who sent forth fire, and it consumed wood or stones or dust, he is liable, as it says: “When a fire breaks out and spreads to thorns so that the stacked corn is consumed, or the standing corn, or the field, he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution” (Exodus 22:5) If it passed over a fence four cubits high, or over a public path, or over a river, he is exempt. One who kindled fire within his own domain, how far does it need to spread [for him to be liable]? Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah says: We look at it as if it was in the middle of a kor’s space[75,000 square cubits]. Rabbi Eliezer says: Sixteen cubits [in every direction] like a public road. Rabbi Akiva says: Fifty cubits. Rabbi Shimon says: ‘He that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution’, all is in accordance with the nature of the fire.”
