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:

(With) snares for animals, birds, or fish, which were set before yom tov — one may not take from them on yom tov (what is caught in them), unless he knows that it was caught before yom tov. And once a certain gentile brought fish (on yom tov) to R. Gamliel, who said: "It is permitted, but I do not want to take it from him." [The Mishnah is defective. It was taught thus: "Something that was 'possibly' ready for use (on yom tov eve) is forbidden. R. Gamliel permits it. And once a certain gentile, etc." The halachah is not in accordance with R. Gamliel. But fruits and fish that were brought on yom tov, "possibly" having been picked or caught (respectively) today or the day before, are forbidden And whatever it is forbidden to eat, it is forbidden to move. And if their appearance "speaks for them," e.g., if the fruits are so shriveled that they could not have been picked today, or if the fish were brought from such a distance that they could not have been caught today, they are permitted. And something ready for use, which was brought from outside the (permitted) bound for a Jew is forbidden to that Jew and to all the members of his household, but permitted to other Jews. And fruits or fish that were picked or caught on the first day of the festival are permitted in the evening, bichdei sheya'asu, for the second day (except for the two days of Rosh Hashanah, where they are forbidden until the end of the second day bichdei sheya'asu. "kedei sheya'asu" = "the amount of time it takes" from the time of the picking of the fruits until their being brought whence they were brought. With a city whose gates are locked at night, one must wait until morning bichdei sheya'asu.] [("but I do not want to take it from him":) because I hate him.]
