Mishnah 1א׳

מִי שֶׁהָפַךְ אֶת זֵיתָיו וְאֵרְעוֹ אֵבֶל אוֹ אֹנֶס, אוֹ שֶׁהִטְעוּהוּ פוֹעֲלִים, טוֹעֵן קוֹרָה רִאשׁוֹנָה וּמַנִּיחָהּ לְאַחַר הַמּוֹעֵד. דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, זוֹלֵף וְגוֹמֵר וְגָף כְּדַרְכּוֹ:

"One who turned over his olives and had an occurrence of mourning or an uncontrollable situation, or his workers disappointed him, he may load on the [pressing] board for the first time, and leave it until after the intermediate days [of the festival]," in the words of Rabbi Yehuda. Rabbi Yose says, "He may pour out [the oil], finish [the process], and cork [barrels] in his usual manner."

Mishnah 2ב׳

וְכֵן מִי שֶׁהָיָה יֵינוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הַבּוֹר וְאֵרְעוֹ אֵבֶל אוֹ אֹנֶס, אוֹ שֶׁהִטְעוּהוּ פוֹעֲלִים, זוֹלֵף וְגוֹמֵר וְגָף כְּדַרְכּוֹ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יוֹסֵי. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, עוֹשֶׂה לוֹ לִמּוּדִים, בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁלֹּא יַחְמִיץ:

"So too, one whose wine was in a pit and has an occurrence of mourning or an uncontrollable situation, or his workers disappointed him, may pour out [the wine], finish [the process], and cork [the barrels] in his usual manner," in the words of Rabbi Yose. Rabbi Yehuda says, "He makes shingles for it so that it will not turn to vinegar."

Mishnah 3ג׳

מַכְנִיס אָדָם פֵּרוֹתָיו מִפְּנֵי הַגַּנָּבִים, וְשׁוֹלֶה פִשְׁתָּנוֹ מִן הַמִּשְׁרָה בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁלֹּא תֹאבַד, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְכַוֵּן אֶת מְלַאכְתּוֹ בַמּוֹעֵד. וְכֻלָּן אִם כִּוְּנוּ מְלַאכְתָּן בַּמּוֹעֵד, יֹאבֵדוּ:

A person may bring his fruit inside due to thieves; and one may pull his flax from the steeping pond so it will not be ruined, as long as one does not intentionally delay his work for the intermediate days. And for any, if they intentionally delayed their work for the intermediate days, they will be destroyed.

Mishnah 4ד׳

אֵין לוֹקְחִין בָּתִּים, עֲבָדִים וּבְהֵמָה, אֶלָּא לְצֹרֶךְ הַמּוֹעֵד, אוֹ לְצֹרֶךְ הַמּוֹכֵר, שֶׁאֵין לוֹ מַה יֹּאכָל. אֵין מְפַנִּין מִבַּיִת לְבַיִת, אֲבָל מְפַנֶּה הוּא לַחֲצֵרוֹ. אֵין מְבִיאִין כֵּלִים מִבֵּית הָאֻמָּן. וְאִם חוֹשֵׁשׁ לָהֶם, מְפַנָּן לְחָצֵר אַחֶרֶת:

We may not purchase houses, slaves, or cattle unless it is for the need of the festival or for the needs of the seller who does not have anything to eat. One may not remove [stuff] from one house to [another] house, but one may remove to his courtyard. We may not bring vessels from the house of the artisan. But if one is concerned for them, one may remove them to another courtyard.

Mishnah 5ה׳

מְחַפִּין אֶת הַקְּצִיעוֹת בְּקַשׁ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף מְעַבִּין. מוֹכְרֵי פֵרוֹת, כְּסוּת וְכֵלִים, מוֹכְרִים בְּצִנְעָה לְצֹרֶךְ הַמּוֹעֵד. הַצַּיָּדִין וְהַדָּשׁוֹשׁוֹת וְהַגָּרוֹסוֹת, עוֹשִׂין בְּצִנְעָה לְצֹרֶךְ הַמּוֹעֵד. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, הֵם הֶחְמִירוּ עַל עַצְמָן:

We may cover packed figs with straw. Rabbi Yehuda says, "We may even condense [them]." A salesperson of fruit, clothing, and vessels should sell in private for the need of the festival. The trappers, wheat-stampers, and the grist-makers perform [their work] in private for the need of the festival. Rabbi Yose says, "They put a stringency on themselves."
