3 Ouvi: Eis que saiu o semeador a semear.

4 E aconteceu que semeando ele, uma parte da semente caiu junto do caminho, e vieram as aves do céu, e a comeram;

5 E outra caiu sobre pedregais, onde não havia muita terra, e nasceu logo, 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, crescendo os espinhos, a sufocaram e não deu fruto.

8 E outra caiu em boa terra e deu fruto, que vingou e cresceu; e um produziu trinta, outro sessenta, e outro cem.

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

3 "Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.

6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.

8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times."

9 Then Jesus said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear."
