פרה פרק ח׳ משנה א׳

1
Two men were guarding a trough: If one of them became unclean, the water remains valid, since it is in the domain of the other. If the first became clean and the other became unclean the water is still valid since it is in the domain of the first. If both became unclean simultaneously the water becomes invalid. If one of them did some work, the water remains valid since it is in the domain of the second. If the first stopped doing work and the other did some work, the water still remains valid since it is in the domain of the first. If both did some work at the same time the water becomes invalid.
שְׁנַיִם שֶׁהָיוּ שׁוֹמְרִים אֶת הַשֹּׁקֶת, נִטְמָא אַחַד מֵהֶם, כְּשֵׁרִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן בִּרְשׁוּתוֹ שֶׁל שֵׁנִי. טָהַר, וְנִטְמָא שֵׁנִי, כְּשֵׁרִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן בִּרְשׁוּתוֹ שֶׁל רִאשׁוֹן. נִטְמְאוּ שְׁנֵיהֶן כְּאַחַת, פְּסוּלִין. עָשָׂה אַחַד מֵהֶן מְלָאכָה, כְּשֵׁרִין, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן בִּרְשׁוּתוֹ שֶׁל שֵׁנִי. עָמַד, וְעָשָׂה הַשֵּׁנִי מְלָאכָה, כְּשֵׁרִין, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן בִּרְשׁוּתוֹ שֶׁל רִאשׁוֹן. עָשׂוּ שְׁנֵיהֶן כְּאֶחָד, פְּסוּלִין:

שנים שהיו שומרים את השוקת – that was filled for [mixing the ashes with the water] for the lustration/sin-offering.

טהר – he who had become defiled was purified from his defilement.

ונטמא שני – that is his companion who was ritually pure. -

כשרים – the water that is in the trough.

עמד ושעה שני מלאכה – the first person arose from jis work, and the second did work in his place.

שנים שהיו שומרים את השוקת. שנתמלא לחטאת:

טהר. אותו שנטמא טהר מטומאתו:

ונטמא שני. היינו חבירו שהיה טהור:

כשרים. המים שבשוקת:

עמד ועשה השני מלאכה. עמד הראשון ממלאכתו, ובא השני ועשה מלאכה תחתיו:

Mishnayos Parah Perek 8 Mishnah 2

פרה פרק ח׳ משנה ב׳

2
One who prepares the mixture of the hatat should not wear his sandals, for were some of the liquid to fall on his sandal it would become unclean and [the sandal] would defile him. Behold he would say [to the sandal], "That which defiled you did not defile me, but you did defile me." If some of the liquid fell on his skin he remains clean. If it fell on his garment it becomes unclean and defiles him. Behold he would say [to the garment], "That which defiled you did not defile me, but you did defile me."
הַמְקַדֵּשׁ מֵי חַטָּאת, לֹא יִנְעוֹל אֶת הַסַּנְדָּל. שֶׁאִם נָפְלוּ מַשְׁקִין עַל הַסַּנְדָּל, נִטְמָא וְטִמְּאָהוּ. הֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר, מְטַמְּאֶיךָ לֹא טִמְּאוּנִי וְאַתָּה טִמֵּאתָנִי. נָפְלוּ מַשְׁקִין עַל בְּשָׂרוֹ, טָהוֹר. נָפְלוּ עַל כְּסוּתוֹ, נִטְמֵאת וְטִמְּאַתּוּ. הֲרֵי זֶה אוֹמֵר, מְטַמְּאֶיךָ לֹא טִמְּאוּנִי וְאַתָּה טִמֵּאתָנִי:

נטמא וטמאהו- the sandal became defiled and it defiled the person for the [waters of] lustration/purification waters. For the vessels that were defiled through liquids defile the person for the purification, that we don’t count the first and second for purification/sin-offering as it is taught in the Mishnah further on in the chapter כל הראוי/whatever is appropriate (Mishnah 6). Even though that if these liquids fell upon his skin, he is ritually pure, for a person who is ritually pure for the rite of the heifer, if impure liquids came in contact with his flesh, he is pure like he was, except if they touched his hands, because impure liquids defile the hands, and regarding the purity of the sin-offering, we hold that if his hands were defiled, his body is defiled.

מטמאיך לא טמאוני (those things which made you unclean could not have made me unclean) – liquids that defiled the sandal were not able to defile the pure individual, if they came in contact with his flesh, as we have stated, but the sandal that comes from their power defiles him.

נטמא וטמאהו. נטמא הסנדל וטימא את האדם לחטאת. שכלים שנטמאו במשקים מטמאים את האדם לחטאת, שאין מונין ראשון ושני בחטאת, כדתנן לקמן פרק כל הראוי (משנה ו׳). אע״פ שאם נפלו המשקים הללו על בשרו, טהור, שהטהור לפרה אם נגעו משקין טמאים בבשרו, הוא טהור כמו שהיה. לבד אם נגעו בידיו, לפי שהמשקין טמאים מטמאים את הידים, וגבי טהרת חטאת קיי״ל דאם נטמאו ידיו נטמא גופו:

מטמאיך לא טמאוני. משקים שטמאו את הסנדל לא היו יכולים לטמא הטהור לחטאת אם נגעו בבשרו כדאמרן, והסנדל הבא מכוחם מטמאו:
