Mishnah 1א׳
שְׁבִיעִית, מְשַׁמֶּטֶת אֶת הַמִּלְוָה בִּשְׁטָר וְשֶׁלֹּא בִשְׁטָר. הַקָּפַת הַחֲנוּת, אֵינָהּ מְשַׁמֶּטֶת, וְאִם עֲשָׂאָהּ מִלְוָה, הֲרֵי זֶה מְשַׁמֵּט. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, הָרִאשׁוֹן הָרִאשׁוֹן מְשַׁמֵּט. שְׂכַר שָׂכִיר, אֵינוֹ מְשַׁמֵּט, וְאִם עֲשָׂאוֹ מִלְוָה, הֲרֵי זֶה מְשַׁמֵּט. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, כָּל מְלָאכָה שֶׁפּוֹסֶקֶת בַּשְּׁבִיעִית, מְשַׁמֶּטֶת, וְשֶׁאֵינָהּ פּוֹסֶקֶת בַּשְּׁבִיעִית, אֵינָהּ מְשַׁמֶּטֶת:
The Sabbatical year cancels a loan [that was made] with a contract and [a loan that was made] without a contract. Store credit is not cancelled, but if it was made into a loan, it is canceled. Rabbi Yehudah says, the previous [of each subsequent purchase on credit] is cancelled. Wages owed to a worker are not canceled, but if it was made into a loan, it is canceled. Rabbi Yossi says, any type of work which must pause during the Sabbatical year, [wages owed for that work] are cancelled. But any work which need not pause during the Sabbatical year, [wages owed for that work] are not canceled.
Mishnah 2ב׳
הַשּׁוֹחֵט אֶת הַפָּרָה וְחִלְּקָהּ בְּרֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה, אִם הָיָה הַחֹדֶשׁ מְעֻבָּר, מְשַׁמֵּט. וְאִם לָאו, אֵינוֹ מְשַׁמֵּט. הָאוֹנֵס, וְהַמְפַתֶּה, וְהַמּוֹצִיא שֵׁם רָע, וְכָל מַעֲשֵׂה בֵית דִּין, אֵין מְשַׁמְּטִין. הַמַּלְוֶה עַל הַמַּשְׁכּוֹן, וְהַמּוֹסֵר שְׁטָרוֹתָיו לְבֵית דִּין, אֵינָן מְשַׁמְּטִין:
If one slaughters a cow and distributes it [to others] on [the post-Sabbatical] Rosh Hashanah [New Year's festival], if the [previous] month was full then [the debt owed the slaughterer is] canceled. [The fines for] rape, seduction, Motzi Shem Ra [husband who falsely accuses his bride of not having been a virgin], and any judicial court matter are not canceled. One who lends on collateral, and one who entrusts his contracts to the judicial court, [those loans] are not canceled.
