Mishnah 1א׳

בֵּיצָה שֶׁנּוֹלְדָה בְיוֹם טוֹב, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, תֵּאָכֵל. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, לֹא תֵאָכֵל. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, שְׂאֹר בְּכַזַּיִת וְחָמֵץ בְּכַכּוֹתֶבֶת. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, זֶה וָזֶה בְּכַזָּיִת:

If in egg was hatched on a holiday, Beit Shammai say: it may be eaten. And Beit Hillel say: it may not be eaten. Beit Shammai say: [On Pesach, the forbidden measure of] leaven is the equivalent of an olive [in volume], and for leavened food it is the equivalent of a date. Beit Hillel say: for both of them it is the equivalent of an olive.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַשּׁוֹחֵט חַיָּה וָעוֹף בְּיוֹם טוֹב, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, יַחְפֹּר בְּדֶקֶר וִיכַסֶּה, וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, לֹא יִשְׁחֹט, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הָיָה לוֹ עָפָר מוּכָן מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם. וּמוֹדִים, שֶׁאִם שָׁחַט, שֶׁיַּחְפֹּר בְּדֶקֶר וִיכַסֶּה, שֶׁאֵפֶר כִּירָה מוּכָן הוּא:

If one slaughters a non-domesticated animal or poultry on a holiday, Beit Shammai say: one may dig with a spade and cover [the blood with that dirt]. And Beit Hillel say: one should not slaughter [on a holiday], unless one has dust [for covering the blood] prepared from while it was still [the previous] day. And they agree that if one did slaughter, one may dig with a spade and cover. And the dust from a stove is [considered] prepared.

Mishnah 3ג׳

בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵין מוֹלִיכִין אֶת הַסֻּלָּם מִשּׁוֹבָךְ לְשׁוֹבָךְ, אֲבָל מַטֵּהוּ מֵחַלּוֹן לְחַלּוֹן. וּבֵית הִלֵּל מַתִּירִין. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, לֹא יִטֹּל, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן נִעֲנֵעַ מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, עוֹמֵד וְאוֹמֵר זֶה וָזֶה אֲנִי נוֹטֵל:

Beit Shammai say: One may not walk a ladder from one dove-cote to another, but one may lean it from one window to another. Beit Hillel permit [even the former]. Beit Shammai say: one should not take [doves from the cote to slaughter them on the festival] unless he had handled them while it was still day. Beit Hillel say: [even without handling them,] one may stand and say, "I will take this one and this one," [and he is permitted to do so].

Mishnah 4ד׳

זִמֵּן שְׁחוֹרִים וּמָצָא לְבָנִים, לְבָנִים וּמָצָא שְׁחוֹרִים, שְׁנַיִם וּמָצָא שְׁלֹשָׁה, אֲסוּרִים. שְׁלֹשָׁה וּמָצָא שְׁנַיִם, מֻתָּרִים. בְּתוֹךְ הַקֵּן וּמָצָא לִפְנֵי הַקֵּן, אֲסוּרִים. וְאִם אֵין שָׁם אֶלָּא הֵם, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מֻתָּרִים:

If one designated black ones [to slaughter on the holiday] and found white ones, or designated white ones and found black ones, or [if one designated] two and found three, [these are] prohibited. If one designated three and found two, [these are] permitted. If [one designated ones] inside the nest and found [ones] in front of the nest, [these are] prohibited. But if those [particular birds] are the only ones there, they are thereby permitted.
