הַשּׁוֹאֵל אֶת הַפָּרָה: שְׁאָלָהּ חֲצִי הַיּוֹם וּשְׂכָרָהּ חֲצִי הַיּוֹם, שְׁאָלָהּ הַיּוֹם וּשְׂכָרָהּ לְמָחָר, שָׂכַר אַחַת וְשָׁאַל אַחַת, וָמֵתָה — הַמַּשְׁאִיל אוֹמֵר שְׁאוּלָה מֵתָה, בְּיוֹם שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׁאוּלָה מֵתָה, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׁאוּלָה מֵתָה, וְהַלָּה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ — חַיָּב. הַשּׂוֹכֵר אוֹמֵר שְׂכוּרָה מֵתָה, בְּיוֹם שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׂכוּרָה מֵתָה, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׂכוּרָה מֵתָה, וְהַלָּה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ — פָּטוּר. זֶה אוֹמֵר שְׁאוּלָה וְזֶה אוֹמֵר שְׂכוּרָה — יִשָּׁבַע הַשּׂוֹכֵר שֶׁשְּׂכוּרָה מֵתָה. זֶה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ וְזֶה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ — יַחֲלֹקוּ.
[If] one borrowed a cow, [and] he [either] borrowed it for half a day and hired it for half a day, [or] borrowed it for one day and hired it for the next day, [or] he hired one and borrowed one, and it died —- the lender claims [that] the borrowed one died, [or that] it died on the day it was borrowed, [or that] it died during the hour that it was borrowed; while the other one says [that] he does not know, he is liable. [If] the renter claims [that] the hired one died, [or that] it died on the day it was hired, [or that] it died during the hour it was hired; while the other one says [that] he does not know, he is exempt. [If] this one claims [it was] the borrowed one, and this one claims [it was] the hired one, the renter swears that the hired one died. [If] this one says he does not know, and this one says he does not know, they divide.
