3 Ed egli insegnò loro molte cose in parabole, dicendo:

4 Ecco, il seminatore uscì a seminare. E mentre seminava, una parte del seme cadde lungo la strada; gli uccelli vennero e la mangiarono.

5 E unaltra cadde ne luoghi rocciosi ove non avea molta terra; e subito spuntò, perché non avea terreno profondo;

6 ma, levatosi il sole, fu riarsa; e perché non avea radice, si seccò.

7 E unaltra cadde sulle spine; e le spine crebbero e laffogarono.

8 E unaltra cadde nella buona terra e portò frutto, dando qual cento, qual sessanta, qual trenta per uno.

9 Chi ha orecchi da udire oda.

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.
