Si uno se confiesa a sí mismo de los que bajan al mar, se le permite a los que moran en la tierra, [porque no es su costumbre ir al mar]. (Si se confiesa a sí mismo) de los que habitan en la tierra, está prohibido a los que bajan al mar. Para aquellos que bajan al mar están en la clase de aquellos que habitan en la tierra, [están destinados a regresar y viven en la tierra.] No como aquellos que van de Acco a Yaffo, sino a uno que zarpa. [Algunos lo explican así: La primera parte de la Mishná: "Si uno se compromete a sí mismo de 'los que bajan al mar', se le permite a los que moran en la tierra", lo que implica que está prohibido a los que baja al mar—esto se refiere "no a los que van de Acco a Yaffo". Para quien se confiesa a sí mismo de aquellos que bajan al mar, no está prohibido para ellos, una distancia tan pequeña que no califica como "ir al mar". Otros lo explican: no como aquellos que van de Acco a Yaffo solos, es decir, no solo están prohibidos en la clase de "los que bajan al mar", sino que también se les llama "los que habitan en la tierra, "pero incluso uno que no suele zarpar, porque está destinado a regresar a la tierra.]

בכלל יושבי היבשה – for eventually they will go down [to the sea] and to dwell on dry land.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nedarim
He who vows [not to benefit] from seafarers, may benefit from land-dwellers; [But he who vows not to benefit] from land-dwellers, is forbidden [to benefit] even from seafarers, because seafarers are included in land-dwellers; not those who merely travel from Acco to Jaffa, but even those who sail away great distances [from land]. This mishnah teaches that the term “seafarers” does not include land-dwellers, and therefore if one vows not to benefit from seafarers he may derive benefit from land-dwellers. However, the term “land-dwellers” does include seafarers, because all seafarers occasionally come to land. This is obviously true for seafarers who make short journeys from Acco to Jaffa, but even for those who make long journeys. Therefore, if he makes a vow not to benefit from land-dwellers, he cannot derive benefit even from seafarers.

Bartenura on Mishnah Nedarim
לא כאלו ההולכים מעכו ליפו – there are those who interpret this as such: That which is taught in the opening clause of our Mishnah: “He who takes a vow [not to gain benefit] from those who go down to the sea, are permitted [to gain benefit] from those who dwell on dry land, which implies, that those who go down to the sea are prohibited [to gain benefit from them], not the like of those who go from Acre to Jaffa, for a person who makes a vow from those who go down to the sea is not prohibited to them, for because of a short distance like this, they are not called, “those who go down to the sea.” There are those interpret: “not like those who go from Acre to Jaffa lon, because hey are included in those who go down to the sea that are prohibited, but also they are called hose who dwell on dry land, but rather, even those sail out of sight, because eventually, they will go down to dry land.
