נזיר פרק ג׳ משנה ז׳

7
In a case of one who had two sets of witnesses testifying about him that he had taken a vow of naziriteship for a certain period, and these witnesses testify that he took a vow of naziriteship for two terms, and these witnesses testify that he took a vow of naziriteship for five terms. Beit Shammai say: The testimony is divided, i.e., the testimonies contradict each other, and since the testimonies are in conflict they are both rejected entirely and there is no naziriteship here at all. And Beit Hillel say: The testimonies are not completely in conflict with each other, as two terms are included in five terms, and the unanimous testimony, that he is a nazirite for two terms, is accepted.
מִי שֶׁהָיוּ שְׁתֵּי כִתֵּי עֵדִים מְעִידוֹת אוֹתוֹ, אֵלּוּ מְעִידִים שֶׁנָּזַר שְׁתַּיִם, וְאֵלּוּ מְעִידִים שֶׁנָּזַר חָמֵשׁ, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, נֶחְלְקָה הָעֵדוּת וְאֵין כָּאן נְזִירוּת. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, יֵשׁ בִּכְלָל חָמֵשׁ שְׁתַּיִם, שֶׁיְּהֵא נָזִיר שְׁתָּיִם:
ז׳

אלו מעידים שנדר שתים – two [periods of] Naziriteship and those [witnesses] testify that he took a vow for five [periods of] Naziriteship; at the same time that you state that he took a vow for two [Naziriteships], wwe testify that he took a vow of five Naziriteships, and he states that he did not take a vow at all.

בש"א נחלקה העדות – since they contradict each other, their words are voided, and there isn’t any testimony at all.

וב"ה אומר יש בכלל חמש שתים – and he will be a Nazirite for two years.

אלו מעידים שנדר שתים. שתי נזיריות:

ואלו מעידים שנדר חמש. באותה שעה שאתם אומרים שנדר שתים, אנו מעידים שנדר חמש נזירות. והוא אומר שלא נדר כלל:

בית שמאי אומרים נחלקה העדות. הואיל ומכחישות זו את זו נתבטלו דבריהם ואין כאן עדות כלל:

ובית הלל אומרים יש בבלל חמש שתים. ויהא נזיר שתים:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Nazir Perek 4 Mishnah 1

נזיר פרק ד׳ משנה א׳

1
With regard to one who said: I am hereby a nazirite, and another heard this vow and said: And I, and a third person added: And I, they are all nazirites. If the vow of the first was dissolved by a halakhic authority, they are all dissolved. However, if the vow of the last individual was dissolved by a halakhic authority, the vow of the last individual alone is dissolved, and all the others remain bound by their nazirite vows. If someone said: I am hereby a nazirite, and another heard and said: My mouth is like his mouth and my hair is like his hair, he is a nazirite. If one said: I am hereby a nazirite, and his wife heard him and said: And I, he can nullify her vow of naziriteship if he so chooses (see Numbers 30:7–16). But his vow remains intact, as his naziriteship is not dependent on hers. However, if the wife said: I am hereby a nazirite, and her husband heard and said: And I, he cannot nullify her vow of naziriteship, as he would thereby be nullifying his own vow, which he made dependent on hers, and he does not have the ability to nullify his own vow.
מִי שֶׁאָמַר הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר, וְשָׁמַע חֲבֵרוֹ וְאָמַר וָאָנִי, וָאָנִי, כֻּלָּם נְזִירִין. הֻתַּר הָרִאשׁוֹן, הֻתְּרוּ כֻלָּן. הֻתַּר הָאַחֲרוֹן, הָאַחֲרוֹן מֻתָּר וְכֻלָּם אֲסוּרִין. אָמַר הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר, וְשָׁמַע חֲבֵרוֹ וְאָמַר, פִּי כְפִיו וּשְׂעָרִי כִשְׂעָרוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר. הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר, וְשָׁמְעָה אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאָמְרָה, וָאָנִי, מֵפֵר אֶת שֶׁלָּהּ, וְשֶׁלּוֹ קַיָּם. הֲרֵינִי נְזִירָה, וְשָׁמַע בַּעְלָהּ וְאָמַר, וָאָנִי, אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהָפֵר:
א׳

מי שאמר הריני נזיר. כולם נזירים – and he who caused each one of them to be seized within the time that is needed for an utterance by his fellow incidentally while the student greets his teacher, which is in order that he can say, “peace be upon you, my teacher [and rabbi].”

פי כפיו כו' – and he that would say, “my mouth is like his mouth [concerning abstention] from wine and my hair is like his hair from being sheared.

ושמע בעלה ואמר ואני אינו יכול להפר – for he already fulfilled her vow when he said: “and I [too],” but if his wife made a vow to be a Nazirite and another person heard it and said, “and I [also],” and afterwards her husband annulled it, it is not annulled for this one who said, “an I [also],” for the husband cannot abrogate a vow from its essence like a Sage.

מי שאמר הריני נזיר. כולם נזירים. והוא שהתפיס כל אחד מהן בתוך דברי חבירו בכדי שאלת שלום תלמיד לרב, שהוא כדי שיאמר שלום עליך רבי:

פי כפיו כו׳ והוא שיאמר פי כפיו מיין ושערי כשערו מלהגזז:

ושמע בעלה ואמר ואני אינו יכול להפר. שכבר קיים נדרה כשאמר ואני. ואם אשה נדרה בנזיר ושמע אחר ואמר ואני, ואח״כ הפר לה בעלה. אינו מופר לזה שאמר ואני, שאין הבעל עוקר הנדר מעיקרו כמו החכם:
