Mishnah 1א׳
הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַיָּרָק, מֻתָּר בִּדְלוּעִין. וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹסֵר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, וַהֲלֹא אוֹמֵר אָדָם לִשְׁלוּחוֹ קַח לִי יָרָק וְהוּא אוֹמֵר לֹא מָצָאתִי אֶלָּא דְלוּעִין. אָמַר לָהֶם, כֵּן הַדָּבָר, אוֹ שֶׁמָּא אוֹמֵר הוּא לוֹ לֹא מָצָאתִי אֶלָּא קִטְנִית, אֶלָּא שֶׁהַדְּלוּעִין בִּכְלָל יָרָק, וְקִטְנִית אֵינָן בִּכְלָל יָרָק. וְאָסוּר בְּפוֹל הַמִּצְרִי לַח, וּמֻתָּר בַּיָּבֵשׁ:
One who vows [abstinence] from vegetables, is permitted gourds. Rabbi Akiva forbids them. They said to Rabbi Akiva: But does not one say to his messenger 'take for me a vegetable' and he says 'I did not find but gourds.' He said to them: so it is! Or maybe he could have said to him 'I did not find but legumes.' Rather, the gourds are in the category of vegetables and the legumes are not. And he is forbidden the moist Egyptian bean but permitted the dry.
Mishnah 2ב׳
הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַדָּגָן, אָסוּר בְּפוֹל הַמִּצְרִי יָבֵשׁ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵינוֹ אָסוּר אֶלָּא בַחֲמֵשֶׁת הַמִּינִין. רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַתְּבוּאָה, אֵינוֹ אָסוּר אֶלָּא מֵחֲמֵשֶׁת הַמִּינִין. אֲבָל הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַדָּגָן, אָסוּר בַּכֹּל, וּמֻתָּר בְּפֵרוֹת הָאִילָן וּבְיָרָק:
One who vows [abstinence] from grain, is forbidden the dry Egyptian bean, these are the words of Rabbi Meir. The Sages say: he is only forbidden the five species. Rabbi Meir says, one who vows from produce, is only forbidden the five species. But one who vows from grain, is forbidden all, and permitted fruits of the tree and vegetables.
Mishnah 3ג׳
הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַכְּסוּת, מֻתָּר בְּשַׂק, בִּירִיעָה, וּבַחֲמִילָה. אָמַר קוֹנָם צֶמֶר עוֹלֶה עָלָי, מֻתָּר לְהִתְכַּסּוֹת בְּגִזֵּי צֶמֶר. פִּשְׁתָּן עוֹלֶה עָלָי, מֻתָּר לְהִתְכַּסּוֹת בַּאֲנִיצֵי פִשְׁתָּן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, הַכֹּל לְפִי הַנּוֹדֵר. טָעַן וְהִזִּיעַ וְהָיָה רֵיחוֹ קָשֶׁה, אָמַר קוֹנָם צֶמֶר וּפִשְׁתִּים עוֹלֶה עָלָי, מֻתָּר לְהִתְכַּסּוֹת וְאָסוּר לְהַפְשִׁיל לַאֲחוֹרָיו:
One who vows [abstinence] from a garment, is permitted sackcloth, a curtain, or a coarse blanket. One who says, "Konam, for wool to be upon me," he is permitted to cover himself with wool shearings. "...for flax to be upon me," he is permitted to cover himself in flax bundles. Rabbi Yehudah says, all goes according to the one who made the vow. If he carried [the wool and flax] and sweated and his odor is bad, and he said, "Konam, wool and flax from being upon me," then he is permitted to cover himself in it but he is forbidden to carry it from behind himself.
Mishnah 4ד׳
הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַבַּיִת, מֻתָּר בָּעֲלִיָּה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, עֲלִיָּה בִּכְלָל הַבָּיִת. הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הָעֲלִיָּה, מֻתָּר בַּבָּיִת:
One who vows [abstinence] from a house, he is permitted the upper story, the words of Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say, the upper story is included in the house. One who vows [abstinence] from the roof is permitted the house.
Mishnah 5ה׳
הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַמִּטָּה, מֻתָּר בְּדַרְגָּשׁ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, דַּרְגָּשׁ בִּכְלָל מִטָּה. הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַדַּרְגָּשׁ, מֻתָּר בְּמִטָּה. הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הָעִיר, מֻתָּר לִכָּנֵס לִתְחוּמָהּ שֶׁל עִיר, וְאָסוּר לִכָּנֵס לְעִבּוּרָהּ. אֲבָל הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַבַּיִת, אָסוּר מִן הָאֲגַף וְלִפְנִים:
One who vows [abstinence] from a bed is permitted the footstool, the words of Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say, a footstool is included with the bed. If he vows [abstinence] from a footstool, he is permitted the bed. One who vows [abstinence] from a town, he may enter the town’s [Shabbat] border but may not enter its extension. But one who vows [not to benefit] from a house, is forbidden from the door-stop and inwards.
Mishnah 6ו׳
קוֹנָם פֵּרוֹת הָאֵלּוּ עָלָי, קוֹנָם הֵן עַל פִּי, קוֹנָם הֵן לְפִי, אָסוּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶן וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶן. שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹכֵל וְשֶׁאֲנִי טוֹעֵם, מֻתָּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶן וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶן, בְּדָבָר שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ כָלֶה. אֲבָל בְּדָבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָלֶה, אֲפִלּוּ גִדּוּלֵי גִדּוּלִין אֲסוּרִין:
"Konam these fruits upon me," [or] "They are konam for my mouth," [or] "konam to my mouth," he is prohibited from [ones that were] switched [to replace the prohibited fruit] and from what grew from it [if this fruit was planted]. [If he swore "this fruit is prohibited] that I [shouldn't] eat it" or "that I [shouldn't] taste it" he is permitted to [eat fruit] that was switched [with it] or that was grown [from it], if it is a thing of which the seed decays [in the ground]. But if the seed does not decay, even growths of its growth are prohibited.
Mishnah 7ז׳
הָאוֹמֵר לְאִשְׁתּוֹ, קוֹנָם מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַיִךְ עָלָי, קוֹנָם הֵן עַל פִּי, קוֹנָם הֵן לְפִי, אָסוּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶן וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶן. שֶׁאֵינִי אוֹכֵל, שֶׁאֵינִי טוֹעֵם, מֻתָּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶן וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶן, בְּדָבָר שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ כָלֶה. אֲבָל בְּדָבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָלֶה, אֲפִלּוּ גִדּוּלֵי גִדּוּלִין אֲסוּרִים:
One who says to his wife, “Konam be the work of your hands to me,” or ”Konam be they for my mouth, or “Konam be they to my mouth”, he is forbidden that which is exchanged for them or grown from them. [If he says “Konam] if I eat or taste [of what they produce],” he is permitted [to benefit] from what is exchanged for them or what grows of them, if it is a thing of which the seed decays [in the ground]. But if the seed does not decay, even the growths of its growth are forbidden.
Mishnah 8ח׳
שֶׁאַתְּ עוֹשָׂה אֵינִי אוֹכֵל עַד הַפֶּסַח, שֶׁאַתְּ עוֹשָׂה אֵינִי מִתְכַּסֶּה עַד הַפֶּסַח, עָשְׂתָה לִפְנֵי הַפֶּסַח, מֻתָּר לֶאֱכֹל וּלְהִתְכַּסּוֹת אַחַר הַפֶּסַח. שֶׁאַתְּ עוֹשָׂה עַד הַפֶּסַח אֵינִי אוֹכֵל, וְשֶׁאַתְּ עוֹשָׂה עַד הַפֶּסַח אֵינִי מִתְכַּסֶּה, עָשְׂתָה לִפְנֵי הַפֶּסַח, אָסוּר לֶאֱכֹל וּלְהִתְכַּסּוֹת אַחַר הַפָּסַח:

Mishnah 9ט׳
שֶׁאַתְּ נֶהֱנֵית לִי עַד הַפֶּסַח אִם תֵּלְכִי לְבֵית אָבִיךְ עַד הֶחָג, הָלְכָה לִפְנֵי הַפֶּסַח, אֲסוּרָה בַהֲנָאָתוֹ עַד הַפֶּסַח. אַחַר הַפֶּסַח, בְּלֹא יַחֵל דְּבָרוֹ. שֶׁאַתְּ נֶהֱנֵית לִי עַד הֶחָג אִם תֵּלְכִי לְבֵית אָבִיךְ עַד הַפֶּסַח, וְהָלְכָה לִפְנֵי הַפֶּסַח, אֲסוּרָה בַהֲנָאָתוֹ עַד הֶחָג, וּמֻתֶּרֶת לֵילֵךְ אַחַר הַפָּסַח:
