ולא יקרא למתורגמן יותר מפסוק אחד. שלא יטעה המתורגמן שמתרגם על פה:
ובנביא שלשה. אם ירצה. ולא אכפת לן אם יטעה דלא נפקא לן הוראה מינייהו:
ואם שלשתן שלש פרשיות. כגון כי כה אמר ה׳ חנם נמכרתם, כי כה אמר ה׳ מצרים ירד עמי בראשונה, ועתה מה לי פה נאם ה׳, הם ג׳ פרשיות בשלשה מקראות רצופים:
מדלגין בנביא. מפרשה לפרשה ואפילו מענין לענין:
ואין מדלגין בתורה. בשני ענינים. אבל בענין אחד מדלגין. כמו שהיה כהן גדול קורא ביום הכפורים פרשת אחרי מות, ומדלג וקורא אך בעשור:
עד שלא יפסיק התורגמן. המדלג בין בתורה בענין אחד, בין בנביא ואפילו בב׳ ענינים, לא ישהא אלא בכדי שישלים המתורגמן לתרגם מה שהוא צריך לתרגם, שאין כבוד לצבור לעמוד שם בשתיקה:

המפטיר בנביא – He who regularly to chant the Haftarah from the Prophets, the Sages ordained that he should recite the prayers for the benefit of those who have come too late for the regular service in public (though Rashi defines פורס על שמע – to mean that he recites part of the prayers before Shema – see Talmud Megillah 23b)
והוא עובר לפני התיבה – to fulfill [the religious obligations of the many in the sanctification of [God’s] name in prayer, since he furnishes for himself to conclude the reading from the Torah by reading a portion of the Prophets (i.e., the recite the Haftarah), for it is something that is not for his honor, and the Sages established for him that this is for his honor.
ואם היה קטן – that he is unable to descend before the Ark nor to recite the prayers for the benefit of those who have come too late for the regular service.

המפטיר בנביא. מי שרגיל להפטיר בנביא, תקנו חכמים שיהא הוא פורס על שמע ברבים:
והוא עובר לפני התיבה. להוציא את הרבים בקדושת השם בתפלה, הואיל וממציא את עצמו להפטיר דהוי דבר שאינו כבודו תקנו לו את זו לכבודו:
ואם היה קטן. שאינו יכול לעבור לפני התיבה, ולא לפרוס על שמע:
אביו או רבו. עוברים לפני התיבה:
על ידו. בשבילו:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

ולא יקרא למתורגמן יותר מפסוק אחד – so that the translator [into Greek or Chaldaic of the Biblical portion read at services] would not err when he translate by heart.
ובנביא שלשה – if he wishes, and we don’t care if he errs, and we don’t derive instruction from it.
ואם שלשתן שלש פרשיות – As for example (Isaiah 52:3-5): “For thus said the LORD: You were sold for no price, [and you shall be redeemed without money”]; “For thus said [the LORD] God; Of old, My people went down [to Egypt to sojourn there….”]; “What therefore do I gain here? – declares the LORD -….”]. These are three sections in three consecutive verses.
מדלגין בנביא – from portion to portion and even from subject matter to subject matter.
ואין מדלגין בתורה – in two subject matters, but in one subject matter, one may skip, such as the High Priest who would read on Yom Kippur the portion of Aharei Mot (Leviticus, chapter 16), and he would skip and read (Leviticus 23:26): “Mark the tenth day [of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement…]”
עד שלא יפסיק התורגמן – One who skips whether in the Torah in one subject matter or in the Prophets in two subject matters, he should delay other than in order that the translator can complete translating what he wants to translate, for there is no respect for the congregation [for him] to stand there in silence.
