Del mismo modo, si uno convive [por cualquiera de las variedades de relaciones sexuales mencionadas anteriormente] con cualquiera de los arayoth de la Torá o con cualquiera de los no aptos, como una viuda de un sumo sacerdote [Él la vuelve no apta para (matrimonio para ) el sacerdocio, en razón de "zonah", a pesar de que la esposa de un israelita que fue forzada se le permite a su esposo], una divorciada y una jalutzah a un Cohein regular [Y también a una divorciada — si ella es hija de un Cohein, tal convivencia la hace incapaz de comer el terumah de la casa de su padre], un mamzereth y un Nethinah a un israelita [Esto no se refiere a dejarla no apta para el sacerdocio, porque ella ya no es apta , pero se dice en referencia a He'arah, para hacer que He'arah esté sujeto a rayas, como coito consumado], la hija de un israelita a un Nathin o un mamzer — por lo tanto, la hace no apta, y no hay distinción (a este respecto) entre un tipo de relación sexual y otra.

English Explanation of Mishnah Yevamot
Introduction
While the previous mishnah served as a quasi-summary to the preceding chapters which all dealt with yibbum, our mishnah serves as a bridge to a new topic: forbidden relationships, specifically women who are forbidden to priests. We will deal with these laws for the next four chapters of Mishnah.

Bartenura on Mishnah Yevamot
או על הפסולות כגון אלמנה לכהן גדול וכו' – she is invalidated to the priesthood because she is unfit to marry a Kohen (as a harlot), even though that the wife of an Israelite who was raped is permitted to her husband, but she is invalid to the priesthood, and a divorcee as well, if she is the daughter of a Kohen, she invalidates herself by this coition from Terumah of wife’s house.

English Explanation of Mishnah Yevamot
Similarly, one who has intercourse with any of the forbidden relatives listed in the Torah, or with any of those who are disqualified to marry him as, for instance, a widow to a high priest, a divorced woman or a halutzah to a common priest, a mamzeret or a netinah to an Israelite or the daughter of an Israelite to a mamzer or a nathin, he has disqualifed [her from marrying a priest], and the laws do not make a distinction between different types of intercourse. This mishnah states the same rule that was stated in the previous mishnah: with regard to forbidden sexual relations, any sexual intercourse counts (i.e. unintentional, under compulsion, etc.). Furthermore, the point of our mishnah is that once a woman has had forbidden sexual intercourse, she can no longer marry a priest. This is true whether the intercourse was forbidden because it was with a priest and she was forbidden to a priest, or if the intercourse was forbidden to Israelites as well (such as a mamzer and an Israelite). In all cases the woman is forbidden to subsequently marry a priest. [Note that a mamzeret and a netinah could not in any case marry a priest. This clause was taught here only to teach that it is forbidden to have any type of intercourse with a mamzeret or a netinah].

ממזרת ונתינה לישראל – it dos not refer to her being invalidated to the priesthood, for she is invalidated and enduring, but rather to the matter of the first stage of sexual connection, the Mishnah took it as punishing her as the first stage of sexual connection which is like the completion of coition.
