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.

3 Udite: Ecco, il seminatore uscì a seminare.

4 Ed avvenne che mentre seminava, una parte del seme cadde lungo la strada; e gli uccelli vennero e lo mangiarono.

5 Ed unaltra cadde in un suolo roccioso ove non avea molta terra; e subito spuntò, perché non avea terreno profondo;

6 ma quando il sole si levò, fu riarsa; perché non aveva radice, si seccò.

7 Ed unaltra cadde fra le spine; e le spine crebbero e laffogarono e non fece frutto.

8 Ed altre parti caddero nella buona terra; e portaron frutto che venne su e crebbe, e giunsero a dare qual trenta, qual sessanta e qual cento.

9 Poi disse: Chi ha orecchi da udire oda.
