3 Hear you: Lo, went out the sower of the (seed) to sow.

4 And it happened in the sowing, this indeed fell on the path; and came the birds, and ate it.

5 Another and fell on the rocky ground, where not it had earth much; and immediately it sprung up, through the not to have a depth of earth.

6 Sun and having arisen, it was scorched, and through the not to have a root, was dried up.

7 And another fell into thorns; and sprung up the thorns, and chocked it, and fruit not it gave.

8 And another fell into the ground the good; and it bore fruit springing up and increasing; and bore one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

9 And he said: He having ear to hear, let him hear.

3 »Listen, the sower went out to sow.

4 »As he sowed some seed fell by the road and the birds came and devoured it.

5 »Other seed fell on the rocky ground and did not have good soil. Immediately it sprang up, because it had no good soil

6 it became scorched when the sun came up. Then it withered because it had no root.

7 »Some seed fell among the thorns. The thorns grew up and choked it so it could yield no fruit.

8 »Others fell on good ground and yielded fruit. It grew up, increased and produced thirty fold, and sixty fold, and a hundred fold.«

9 He continued: »He who has ears to hear let him hear.«
