Mishnah 1א׳

לֹא יֹאמַר אָדָם לַחֲבֵרוֹ, הַעַל אֶת הַפֵּרוֹת הָאֵלּוּ לִירוּשָׁלַיִם לְחַלֵּק, אֶלָּא אוֹמֵר לוֹ, הַעֲלֵם שֶׁנֹּאכְלֵם וְנִשְׁתֵּם בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם. אֲבָל נוֹתְנִים זֶה לָזֶה מַתְּנַת חִנָּם:

A person may not say to his friend: carry up these fruits to Jerusalem to [get a] share. But he may say to him: carry them up so that we may eat them and we may drink them in Jerusalem. But people may give to one another as a free gift.

Mishnah 2ב׳

אֵין לוֹקְחִין תְּרוּמָה בְּכֶסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מְמַעֵט בַּאֲכִילָתוֹ, וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַתִּיר. אָמַר לָהֶם רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, מָה אִם הֵקֵל בְּזִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים, שֶׁהוּא מְבִיאָן לִידֵי פִגּוּל וְנוֹתָר וְטָמֵא, לֹא נָקֵל בַּתְּרוּמָה. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, מָה אִם הֵקֵל בְּזִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים, שֶׁהֵן מֻתָּרִים לְזָרִים, נָקֵל בַּתְּרוּמָה, שֶׁהִיא אֲסוּרָה לְזָרִים:

Terumah [produce consecrated for priestly consumption] may not be bought with Ma'aser Sheni [second tithe, which must be eaten in Jerusalem] money, because [the number of] those who may eat of it is reduced. But Rabbi Shimon allows it. Rabbi Shimon said to them - If we rule leniently in the case of Shelamim [peace offerings], which can bring them to become Pigul [sacrifice made unfit because of improper intentions] or Notar [sacrifice made unfit because it was left too long uneaten] or impure, why would we not also rule leniently regarding Terumah? They said to him: If we rule leniently in the case of Shelamim, which are permitted to non-priests, shall we rule leniently regarding Terumah, which is forbidden to non-priests?

Mishnah 3ג׳

מִי שֶׁהָיוּ לוֹ מָעוֹת בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם וְצָרִיךְ לוֹ, וְלַחֲבֵרוֹ פֵרוֹת, אוֹמֵר לַחֲבֵרוֹ, הֲרֵי הַמָּעוֹת הָאֵלּוּ מְחֻלָּלִין עַל פֵּרוֹתֶיךָ. נִמְצָא זֶה אוֹכֵל פֵּרוֹתָיו בְּטָהֳרָה, וְהַלָּה עוֹשֶׂה צָרְכּוֹ בִּמְעוֹתָיו. וְלֹא יֹאמַר כֵּן לְעַם הָאָרֶץ, אֶלָּא בִדְמָאי:

One who has [Ma'aser Sheni] money in Jerusalem and has need for it [for other uses], if his friend has fruits, he may say to his friend, "This money is made Chulin [non-sacred produce, by transferring its holiness] onto your fruits." Thus we find that this [owner of the fruits must] eat his fruits in purity, while the other may use his money for his own needs. But one should not say this to an Am Ha'aretz [one who is lax in observing tithes and purity laws] except in the case of Demai [produce from which it is uncertain if tithes were already taken].

Mishnah 4ד׳

פֵּרוֹת בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם וּמָעוֹת בַּמְּדִינָה, אוֹמֵר, הֲרֵי הַמָּעוֹת הָהֵם מְחֻלָּלִין עַל פֵּרוֹת הָאֵלּוּ. מָעוֹת בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם וּפֵרוֹת בַּמְּדִינָה, אוֹמֵר הֲרֵי הַמָּעוֹת הָאֵלּוּ מְחֻלָּלִין עַל פֵּרוֹת הָהֵם, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיָּעֳלוּ הַפֵּרוֹת וְיֵאָכְלוּ בִירוּשָׁלָיִם:

[If one has Chulin] fruits in Jerusalem and [Ma'aser Sheni] coins outside the city, he may say, "This money is made Chulin [by transferring its holiness] onto these fruits." If one has [Ma'aser Sheni] coins in Jerusalem and [Chulin] fruits outside the city, he may say "This money is made Chulin [by transferring its holiness] onto those fruits," but only if he will bring the fruits up to Jerusalem and eat them there.
