3 Ouvi: Eis que o semeador saiu a semear;

4 e aconteceu que, quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu à beira do caminho, e vieram as aves e a comeram.

5 Outra caiu no solo pedregoso, onde não havia muita terra: e logo nasceu, porque não tinha terra profunda;

6 mas, saindo o sol, queimou-se; e, porque não tinha raiz, secou-se.

7 E outra caiu entre espinhos; e cresceram os espinhos, e a sufocaram; e não deu fruto.

8 Mas outras caíram em boa terra e, vingando e crescendo, davam fruto; e um grão produzia trinta, outro sessenta, e outro cem.

9 E disse-lhes: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.

3 A man went out to put seed in the earth:

4 And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.

5 And some went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep:

6 And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.

7 And some went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave no fruit.

8 And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and giving thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much.

9 And he said to them, Whoever has ears, let him give ear.
