La nuit entière est kasher pour la récolte de l'omer et la combustion des graisses et des membres [laissés de l'après-midi tamid, à savoir. (Lévitique 6: 2): "C'est l'holocauste sur son bois de chauffage sur l'autel toute la nuit."] C'est la règle: Quelque chose dont la mitsva est dans la journée est kasher toute la journée, [y compris l'organisation de les deux récipients d'encens placés sur le pain de spectacle], et quelque chose dont la mitsva est la nuit est kasher toute la nuit, [pour inclure la consommation de l'offrande de Pessa'h, qui est kasher toute la nuit, les sages ayant dit "jusqu'à minuit" seulement pour garder un loin de la transgression.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Megillah
The whole night is valid for reaping the Omer and for burning fat and limbs [on the altar]. There are two mitzvoth listed here that must be done at night. The first is reaping the Omer, the barley offering which is brought from the second day of Pesah through Shavuot (Leviticus 23:10). The second is putting on the altar fat and limbs that had not been burned during the day.

ודבר שמצותו בלילה כשר כל הלילה – to include the eating of the Passover sacrifice which is valid all night long, and the Sages did not say “until midnight” other than in order to distance a person from sin.

English Explanation of Mishnah Megillah
This is the general principle: any matter whose commandment is during the day, is valid all day and any matter whose commandment is at night is valid all night. This general principle illustrates that which we learned in the last two mishnayot.
