A noite inteira é kasher para a colheita do omer e a queima das gorduras e dos membros [que sobraram da tarde tímida, viz. (Levítico 6: 2): "É o holocausto sobre a lenha sobre o altar a noite toda."] Esta é a regra: algo cuja mitzvá está durante o dia é kasher o dia inteiro [para incluir a organização de os dois recipientes de incenso colocados no pão do espetáculo], e algo cuja mitzvá é de noite é kasher a noite toda, [para incluir a refeição da oferta de Pessach, que é kasher a noite toda, os sábios dizendo "até meia-noite" apenas para manter alguém longe da transgressão.]

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.
