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 'Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow;

4 and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it;

5 and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth,

6 and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;

7 and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;

8 and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

9 And he said to them, 'He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.'
