3 And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:

4 and as he sowed, some {grains} fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;

5 and others fell upon the rocky places where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang up out of {the ground} because of not having {any} depth of earth,

6 but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having {any} root were dried up;

7 and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;

8 and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.

9 He that has ears, let him hear.

3 A he maha ana korero ki a ratou, he mea whakarite; i mea ia, Na i haere te kairui ki te rui;

4 A, i a ia e rui ana, ka ngahoro etahi o nga purapura ki te taha o te ara, a, ko te rerenga mai o nga manu, kainga ake:

5 Ko etahi i ngahoro ki nga wahi kamaka, ki nga wahi kihai i nui te oneone: na pihi tonu ake, kahore hoki i hohonu te oneone:

6 A, no te whitinga o te ra, ngaua iho; a, no te mea kahore he putake, memenge noa iho:

7 Ko etahi i ngahoro ki roto ki nga tataramoa; a, no te tupunga ake o nga tataramoa, kowaowaotia ana nga purapura:

8 Ko etahi i ngahoro ki te oneone pai, a ka hua, no etahi kotahi rau, no etahi e ono tekau, no etahi e toru tekau.

9 Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
