Tevul Yom 2:2 - 2:3

המשקים פסולים – that a person who has immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom invalidates the heave-offering/priest’s due alone, but he does not make it susceptible to ritual defilement, and even liquids, for all that invalidates the heave-offering/priest’s due defiles liquids to be first [degree of ritual uncleanness] except for the person who has immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom. Therefore, the cooking pot is ritually pure, for the liquids that touched/came in contact with the Tevul Yom, even foods do not defile, and all the more so, vessels/utensils,

but if the liquid was non-consecrated, everything is ritually pure, for a person who has immersed himself that day is pure for non-consecrated produce and for tithes.

ואם היו ידיו מסואבות הכל טמא (but if his hands were dirty/unwashed, everything is ritually impure) – for hands make the heave-offering/priest’s due unfit, and when the liquids were ritually defiled on account of the [dirty] hands, they returned to be first [degree of ritual uncleanness] and defile vessels.

שספק טבול יום פוסל את התרומה – as for example two loaves before him, it is doubtful whether he came in contact with it/touched it or did not come in contact with it/touched it, that in that manner with ritually pure hands, but a person who had immersed himself that day invalidated them/made them unfit.

המקפה (a stiff mass of grist, oil and onions, porridge) – a cooked dish that is congealed and thick, as for example, cereal/a dish of pounded grain/grit or pounded beans.

והשום והשמן – that are placed on it as a spice (i.e., for flavor).

נגע טבול יום במקצתן פסל את כולם – for the essence is the stiff mass of grist, and a person who has immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom invalidates/makes unfit the priest’s due/heave offering. But even though he didn’t touch/come in contact with other than with the unconsecrated garlic, it is considered a junction/connection.

ואם היה השום מרובה (but if the garlic was the greater part) – more than the unconsecrated porridge/stiff mass of grist.

הולכין אחר המרובה – and law of everything is like the law regarding heave-offering/priest’s due, but if he touched part of them, he invalidated/made unfit everything.

אימתי – meaning to say, with that which we said if the garlic was the greater part and he (i.e., the Tevul Yom) touched part of it, he invalidates/makes unfit all of it, at the time that the garlic is collected/gathered in the dish, and it is one body, like a kind of a handful/clump of earth.

אבל אם היה מפוזר במדוכה (but if it - the garlic – was scattered in the mortar) – that its parts were separated from each other within the mortar, and a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom had touched it is then ritually pure, meaning to say, he did not invalidate it other than the place/point of his contact, for since he intended at the time that he is crushing/pounding to separate its parts, it is not considered a junction/connection.

ושאר כל הנידוכין שדכן במקשין (and the rest of the things that are crushed in liquids) – like they do with wheat, when they crush them in a mortar, they pour/sprinkle water over them.

או דברים שדרכן לדוך במשקין ודכן שלא במשקין והן גוש בקערה הרי הן בעיגולי דבילה – that if a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom had touched part of them, he did not invalidate all of them. Such is what I found in the commentary/explanation of my Rabbis/teachers. But Maimonides explains [the phrase]: "ושאר כל הנדוכים שדכן במשקין"/”And [so is the rule in the case of] all other things which one crushed, which one crushed together with liquids,” their law is like that of garlic. That if a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom had touched part of what he pounds, he only made unfit/invalid the place of his contact, because the scattering (of the garlic in the mortar) is welcome to him. But if he did not touch it when it became a clod/clump in the bowl, it is connection/junction, and when he touched part of it, he invalidated/made unfit everything.

אבל את שדרכן לדוך במשקין – we have this reading according to the explanation of Maimonides.

ודכן שלא במשקין – even though that he placed that lump/clod in the bowl, they are like cakes of pressed fig, that we stated that when he touched a part of it, all of them were not ritually defiled, in the beginning of the second chapter of [Tractate] Terumot (Mishnah 1).
