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 слушайте: вот, вышел сеятель сеять;

4 и, когда сеял, случилось, что иное упало при дороге, и налетели птицы и поклевали то.

5 Иное упало на каменистое [место], где немного было земли, и скоро взошло, потому что земля была неглубока;

6 когда же взошло солнце, увяло и, как не имело корня, засохло.

7 Иное упало в терние, и терние выросло, и заглушило [семя], и оно не дало плода.

8 И иное упало на добрую землю и дало плод, который взошел и вырос, и принесло иное тридцать, иное шестьдесят, и иное сто.

9 И сказал им: кто имеет уши слышать, да слышит!
