Earthenware shards

that were used

for tamei beverages (which were absorbed into the shards)

and fell into the airspace of a tanur

and it was heated,

the tanur is tamei,

as the beverage would ultimately come out.

And similarly by new pulp (the refuse left after fruits have been pressed for their juice or oil; the same rule will apply to such pulp that has absorbed a tamei beverage and was then placed into an oven and heated)

but old pulp is tahor (after twelve months we assume that the tamei beverage is no longer extant);

and if it is known

that a beverage come out from them

even after three years,

[the tanur] becomes tamei.

פרק ט משנה ו

Pulp

and grape skins

that were made in [a setting that was] tahor

and those that were tamei walked on them

(and after that)

beverages [that had been reabsorbed by the pulp] came out of them,

they are tahor (beverages are not susceptible to tumah unless produced intentionally, which is not the case here),

as from their outset they were made in [a setting that was] tahor (if made from their outset in conditions of tumah, then even though produced unintentionally, they would be susceptible to tumah).

A spindle (a slender rounded rod with tapered ends used in hand spinning, a process by which fibers are wound into threads, to twist and wind thread from a mass of wool or flax)

that has swallowed up the hook (there was a metal hook at one end of a spindle, and  in this case the hook has sunken completely into the wooden rod of the spindle)

and a cattle prod

that has swallowed up the the point (the cattle prod was comprised of a wooden stick with a metal point at its end)

[or] a brick

that has swallowed a ring (the ring was accidently dropped into the clay that formed the brick),

and they were tahor (although these metal parts are ordinarily susceptible to tumah, enveloped as they are by the wood or clay, which are not susceptible to tumah, they cannot touch anything to become tamei by contact)

if they enter the canopy of a corpse,

they become tamei;

If a zav moves them

they become tamei;

if [they are tamei and] they fall into the air of a tanur that is tahor,

they make it tamei;

If they touch

a loaf of terumah

it is tahor. (as it will only have touched the wood or clay, and not the tamei metal.
