ביצה פרק ג׳ משנה ב׳

2
If traps for animals, birds, and fish were set on the eve of a Festival, one may not take anything from them on the Festival, unless he knows that the animals found in the traps had already been caught on the eve of the Festival. And an incident is related where a certain gentile brought fish to Rabban Gamliel, and the latter said: The fish are permitted, but I do not wish to accept them from him, as I despise him.
מְצוּדוֹת חַיָּה וָעוֹף וְדָגִים שֶׁעֲשָׂאָן מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב, לֹא יִטֹּל מֵהֶן בְּיוֹם טוֹב, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יוֹדֵעַ שֶׁנִּצּוֹדוּ מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב. וּמַעֲשֶׂה בְנָכְרִי אֶחָד, שֶׁהֵבִיא דָגִים לְרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, וְאָמַר, מֻתָּרִין הֵן, אֶלָּא שֶׁאֵין רְצוֹנִי לְקַבֵּל הֵימֶנּוּ:
ב׳

ומעשה בנכרי – The Mishnah is deficient and should be read as follows: If it was doubtfully ready, it is prohibited, but Rabban Gamaliel permits it, and there was a story about one heathen, etc. But the Halakha is not according to Rabban Gamaliel, but rather, fruit and fish that were brought on Yom Tov/The Festival day, which was a doubt if they had been collected today or yesterday, [or] there was a doubt if they had been hunted today or yesterday, they are forbidden. And whatever is forbidden to eat is forbidden to carry. But if their form proves about them such as withered fruit that it is impossible that they were gathered today, and similarly, fish that were brought from a distant place that it is impossible that they had been hunted today, are permitted. And something that is prepared/ready that comes from outside the [Sabbath] limits (i.e., the marked off area around a town or place within which it is permitted to move on the Sabbath two-thousand cubits in every direction) for an Israelite, it is forbidden for that Israelite to be brought for him and for his household, but it is permitted for another Israelite. But fruit that had been plucked and fish that had been hunted on the first day of the Festival, are permitted for the evening of the Second Day of the Festival in order that they are made, except for the two days of the holiday of Rosh Hashanah in which they are prohibited until the conclusion of the Second Day of the Holiday in order that they are made. And the explanation of [the term] in order that they are made, in order that the fruit can be plucked/detached from the place where they are detached and are brought from the place that they are brought from. But a cities whose doors are locked at night must wait until they are made.

אלא שאין רצונו לקבל ממנו – that I hate him.

ומעשה בנכרי אחד. חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני, ספק מוכן אסור ורבן גמליאל מתיר, ומעשה בנכרי אחד וכו׳. ואין הלכה כרבן גמליאל, אלא פירות ודגים שהובאו ביו״ט ספק נלקטו היום ספק מאתמול, ספק נצודו היום ספק מאתמול אסורים. וכל שאסור לאכלו אסור לטלטלו. ואם צורתן מוכחת עליהן כגון פירות דכמושין שאי אפשר שנלקטו היום, וכן דגים שהביאום ממקום רחוק שאי אפשר שנצודו היום, מותרין. ודבר מוכן שבא מחוץ לתחום בשביל ישראל, אסור לאותו ישראל שהובא בשבילו ולכל בני ביתו ומותר לישראל אחר. ופירות או דגים שנתלשו או נצודו ביו״ט ראשון מותרין לערב בליל יום טוב שני בכדי שיעשו, חוץ משני ימים טובים של ראש השנה שהם אסורים עד מוצאי יו״ט שני בכדי שיעשו. ופירוש כדי שיעשו, כדי שיתלשו הפירות ממקום שנתלשו ויביאו אותם מן המקום שהביאום. ועיר שדלתותיה נעולות בלילה צריך שימתין לבוקר בכדי שיעשו:

אלא שאין רצוני לקבל ממנו. שאני שונא אותו:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Beitzah Perek 3 Mishnah 3

ביצה פרק ג׳ משנה ג׳

3
If an animal is in danger of dying, in which case its meat would be prohibited as the animal had not been properly slaughtered, and one wishes to slaughter it in the hope that it will be found fit for eating and he will be spared a loss, he may not slaughter it on a Festival unless there is still time in the day for him to eat an olive-bulk of roasted meat from the animal, so that it is possible to say that he slaughtered the animal for the sake of the Festival. Rabbi Akiva says: There need not be enough time for him to roast it; rather, it is sufficient even if there is only time to eat an olive-bulk of raw meat from the place where the animal is slaughtered, i.e., from its neck, without going to the trouble of removing its hide and roasting it. If one slaughtered an animal on a Festival in the field, he may not bring it to his house on a pole or on a set of poles carried by two people, as this appears similar to a weekday activity. Rather, he must alter his usual weekday manner of performing this action and bring it in by hand, limb by limb. A male firstborn of cattle, sheep, or goats belonging to a Jew is sanctified from birth and must be given to a priest to be sacrificed on the altar in the Temple. If a firstborn animal acquired a physical blemish that disqualifies it from being sacrificed as an offering, it still must be given to a priest, but it may be redeemed, slaughtered, and eaten as non-sacred meat.
בְּהֵמָה מְסֻכֶּנֶת לֹא יִשְׁחֹט, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יֵשׁ שָׁהוּת בַּיּוֹם לֶאֱכֹל מִמֶּנָּה כַּזַּיִת צָלִי. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, אֲפִלּוּ כַזַּיִת חַי מִבֵּית טְבִיחָתָהּ. שְׁחָטָהּ בַּשָּׂדֶה, לֹא יְבִיאֶנָּה בְמוֹט וּבְמוֹטָה. אֲבָל מֵבִיא בְיָדוֹ אֵבָרִים אֵבָרִים:
ג׳

בהמה מסוכנת – which he is afraid lest it might die. And he has not need for it for he has already eaten his meal.

לא ישחוט – unless he knows that there is a delay during to day to eat an olive’s bulk roasted from it.

מבית טביחתה – which is ready at hand and stripped from its hide and standing. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Akiba.

לא יביאנו במוט ובמטה – by two people, because the matter is noisy and disregards the honor of the Festival day.

בהמה מסוכנת. שהוא ירא שמא תמות. ואין צריך לה שכבר סעד סעודתו:

לא ישחוט. אא״כ יודע שיש שהות ביום לאכול כזית צלי הימנה:

מבית טביחתה. שהוא מזומן ומופשט מעורו ועומד. ואין הלכה כרבי עקיבא:

לא יביאנה במוט ובמטה. בשני בני אדם. משום דאוושא מלתא ומזלזל בכבוד יו״ט:
