Certaines [offrandes de grains] nécessitent de se rapprocher mais pas de les agiter, certaines nécessitent de les agiter mais pas de les approcher, certaines nécessitent de se rapprocher et également de les agiter, et certaines ne nécessitent ni d'approcher ni d'agiter. Celles-ci nécessitent d'apporter près mais pas d'agiter: l'offrande de grains de farine fine, celle préparée sur une plaque chauffante, celle préparée dans une casserole, les gâteaux et les gaufrettes, l'offrande de céréales des prêtres, l'offrande de céréales du grand prêtre oint, le offrande du grain d'un non-juif, l'offrande du grain des femmes, l'offrande du grain du pécheur. Rabbi Shimon dit: l'offrande du grain des prêtres et l'offrande du grain du souverain sacrificateur oint ne nécessitent pas d'être rapprochés, puisqu'aucune poignée n'est retirée d'eux. Et dans tous les cas où aucune poignée n'est retirée, un rapprochement n'est pas nécessaire.

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
Introduction
This mishnah begins to note which minhahs must be brought to the altar (see Leviticus 2:8, 6:7), which have to be waved, which require one and not the other, and which require both. “Bringing near” refers to bringing the minhah close to the southwestern corner of the altar before the handful is removed. Note that the structure of this mishnah is nearly identical to the structure of mishnah three.

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
Some [minhahs] require bringing near but not waving, some require bringing near and also waving, some require waving but not bringing near, and some require neither bringing near nor waving. As was the format in mishnah three, the mishnah begins by noting that all of the combinations with regard to requiring bringing near and waving are possible.

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
These require bringing near but not waving: the minhah of fine flour, that prepared on a griddle, that prepared in a pan, the cakes and the wafers, the minhah of the priests, the minhah of the anointed high priest, the minhah of a gentile, the minhah of women, and the minhah of the omer. These minhahs are brought near to the altar, but they are not waved. The list is the same as that in section one of mishnah three.

Bartenura on Mishnah Menachot
וכל שאין בהם קמיצה – to permit the residue/remnants from the meal-offering for the Kohanim, and they don’t have bringing near [of the sacrifice]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
Rabbi Shimon says: the minhah of the priests and the minhah of the anointed high priest do not require bringing near, since no handful is taken out of them, and where no handful is taken out bringing near is not necessary. Rabbi Shimon says that since the minhahs of the priests and of the anointed high priest are not eaten at all, but rather are entirely burned, they need not be brought near to the altar. Rather they are just put on the altar and burned.
