第十二章起首的密释纳:建造多少才有责?众贤说建多少都有责;凿、用锤或锛敲、钻孔,多少都有责。通则是:凡所行之工在安息日存留得住的,便有责。拉班西缅·本·迦玛列 说连在铁砧上抡大锤的也有责。

人安息日建造,就犯了工作之父里的一条禁令;那么他要建多少才当献赎罪祭呢?
With regard to one who builds on Shabbat, thereby violating a prohibition in a primary category of prohibited labor, how much must he build to be liable to bring a sin-offering?
-
众贤说:人建造,无论多少都有责。
The Sages said: One who builds is liable for building any amount.
-
人安息日凿石,或用锤子、用锛子敲打,或钻一个孔——无论多小——都有责。
And one who chisels, or strikes with a hammer or with an adze, or one who drills a hole of any size on Shabbat, is liable.
-
通则是这样:凡人所行的禁工,那工在安息日存留得住的,他便有责。
This is the principle: Anyone who performs a prohibited labor and his labor endures on Shabbat is liable.
-
照样,拉班西缅·本·迦玛列 说:人作工的时候,连在铁砧上抡一下大锤,也算行了一件有成之事,是有责的,因为他如同把手中的活计作得更好了。
And so too, Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Even one who strikes an anvil with a sledgehammer during his labor has performed a constructive act and is liable, because he is as one who improves the labor that he is performing.
