ONE WHO ACCEPTED NEZIRUS WHEN HE WILL HAVE A SON (Yerushalmi Perek 2 Halachah 7 Daf 8a)

(Mishnah): If one said 'I will be a Nazir when I have a son', and a son was born to him, he is a Nazir. If a girl, Tumtum or Androginus was born, he is not a Nazir;
àí àîø ëùàøàä ìé ååìã àôéìå ðåìã ìå áú èåîèåí åàðãøåâéðñ äøé æä ðæéø:
If he said 'I will be a Nazir when I have a child', even if a girl, Tumtum or Androginus was born, he is a Nazir.
[ãó ç òîåã á] âî' áú ìà ëìåí èåîèåí åàðãøåâéðñ öøéëä:
(Gemara): There was no Chidush about a daughter. The Chidush is a Tumtum or Androginus. (One might have thought that in the Reisha, amidst Safek, he must conduct Nezirus.)
A SAFEK WHETHER OR NOT ONE IS OBLIGATED TO BE A NAZIR (Yerushalmi Perek 2 Halachah 8 Daf 8b)
îúðé' äôéìä àùúå àéðå ðæéø
(Mishnah): If his wife miscarried, he is not a Nazir;
ø' ùîòåï àåîø éàîø àí äéä áï ÷ééîà äøéðé ðæéø çåáä åàí ìàå äøéðé ðæéø ðãáä
R. Shimon says, he says 'if the baby was viable (but just happened to die), I am a Nazir Chovah (due to my vow). If not (it was a Nefel, i.e. stillborn), I now accept Nezirus Nedavah (voluntary).'
çæøä åéìãä äøé æä ðæéø
If later, his wife gave birth, he is a Nazir;
øáé ùîòåï àåîø éàîø àí äøàùåï äéä áï ÷ééîà äøàùåðä çåáä åæå ðãáä åàí ìàå äøàùåðä ðãáä åæå çåáä:
R. Shimon says, he says 'if the first baby was viable, my first Nezirus was Chovah, and this [Nezirus that I observe now] is Nedavah. If not (the first baby was a Nefel), the first was Nedavah, and this is Chovah.'
âî' åçù ìåîø ùîà áï ÷ééîä äåà
(Gemara) Question: [Chachamim] should be concerned lest it was viable!
àîø ø' éåçðï ãøáé éåãä äéà ãøáé éåãä àîø ñô÷ ðæéøåú îåúø
Answer (R. Yochanan): [Chachamim hold like] R. Yehudah, who says that Safek Nezirus is permitted.
(àîø ìéä - ðøàä ùöøéê ìîç÷å) ìà àîø øáé éåãä àìà (ìáñåó àáì ìëúçéìä) [ö"ì ìëúçéìä àáì ìáñåó - ÷øáï äòãä] àåó øáé éåãä îåãéé
Limitation: R. Yehudah said only at the beginning, but at the end, even R. Yehudah agrees [that Safek Nezirus is forbidden].
Note: Our text 'Amar Lei' must be fixed, for only R. Yochanan was mentioned. In PNEI MOSHE's text, Reish Lakish asked that R. Yehudah said (is lenient) only at the end. If so, the Gemara should have asked how Reish Lakish answers the question, and answered that Chachamim are like the Stam Tana in Taharos (4:12)! Also, in the Bavli (8a), R. Yochanan said that R. Yehudah said so only at the beginning. Perhaps 'Amar Lei' answers a question [which was lost from our text] from a Stam Mishnah above (1:4) - if one said 'I am a Nazir this box-full', Stam, we are stringent to view the box as if it was full of mustard seeds, and he is a Nazir all his days.

Question: What is at the beginning, and what is at the end?

Answer (R. Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak): 'I do not know whether or not I accepted Nezirus' - this is at the beginning. 'I do not know whether [I accepted] 40 or 50' - this is at the end.

(R. Yosi bei R. Bun): R. Chiya bar Ba and R. Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak argued. All agree that 'I do not know whether or not I accepted Nezirus' - this is at the beginning. 'I do not know whether 40 or 50' - this is at the end;

What do they argue about? 'I do not know whether [I accepted] one [Nezirus] or two.' R. Chiya bar Ba considers this at the end, and R. Shmuel considers this is at the beginning.
øáé îðà àí àçú àí ùúéí öøéëä ìøáé ùîåàì áø øá éöç÷ äåà ëáúçéìä äåà ëáñåó:
(R. Mana): '[I do not know whether I accepted] one or two' - R. Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak was unsure if this is considered at the beginning or at the end.
