משנה: הַמְקַבֵּל שָׂדֶה מֵחֲבֵירוֹ אִם מִשֶׁזָּכָה בָהּ הוֹבִירָה שָׁמִין אוֹתָהּ כַּמָּה רְאוּיָה לַעֲשׂוֹת וְנוֹתְנִין לוֹ שֶׁכָּךְ כּוֹתֵב לוֹ אִם אוֹבִיר וְלֹא אַעֲבִיד אִישְׁלַם בְּמֵיטְבָא.

MISHNAH: One contracts with another for a field; if after he received22The share cropper. it he lets it lie fallow23Without the landlord’s agreement or against the local rules of crop rotation. one estimates how much it could yield and gives to him, for so he writes to him: If I let it lie fallow or do not work it, I shall pay as if well-worked24Since the sharecropper is presumed to be uneducated, any condition binding on him has to be formulated in Aramaic..

הלכה: הַמְקַבֵּל שָׂדֶה מֵחֲבֵירוֹ כול׳. אָמַר רִבִּי יִצְחָק. הָדָא אָמְרָה. הַמְבַטֵּל כִּיס חֲבֵירוֹ אֵין לוֹ עָלָיו אֶלָּא תַּרְעוֹמֶת. הַמְבַטֵּל שְׂדֵה חֲבֵירוֹ חַיָיב לִשְׁפוֹת לוֹ. הַמְבַטֵּל סְפִינָתוֹ וֶחָנוּתוֹ מָהוּ.

HALAKHAH: “One who contracts with another for a field,” etc. Rebbi Isaac said, this25Not this Mishnah, but Tosephta 4:22 quoted in Halakhah 5:5, Note 56. For the definition of “complaint”, see there, Note 58. implies that if one lets another’s money lie idle, the other only has a complaint against him. If one lets another’s field lie idly, he has to compensate him adequately26This is the Mishnah here.. If one lets another’s ship or store lie idly, what is the rule?
