3 Udite: Ecco, un seminatore uscì a seminare.

4 Ed avvenne che mentre egli seminava, una parte cadde lungo la via, e gli uccelli del cielo vennero, e la mangiarono.

5 Ed un’altra cadde in luoghi pietrosi, ove non avea molta terra; e subito nacque, perciocchè non avea terreno profondo;

6 ma quando il sole fu levato, fu riarsa; e, perciocchè non avea radice, si seccò.

7 Ed un’altra cadde fra le spine, e le spine crebbero, e l’affogarono, e non fece frutto.

8 Ed un’altra cadde in buona terra, e portò frutto, il quale montò, e crebbe; e portò l’uno trenta, l’altro sessanta e l’altro cento.

9 Poi egli disse: Chi ha orecchie da udire, oda.

3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.

4 And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.

5 And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out {of the ground} because it had no depth of earth;

6 and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.

7 And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

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

9 And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
