3 Ed egli ragionava loro molte cose, in parabole, dicendo: Ecco, un seminatore uscì fuori a seminare.

4 E mentre egli seminava, una parte della semenza cadde lungo la strada, e gli uccelli vennero, e la mangiarono tutta.

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

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

7 Ed un’altra cadde sopra le spine, e le spine crebbero, e l’affogarono.

8 Ed un’altra cadde in buona terra, e portò frutto, qual granel cento, qual sessanta, qual trenta.

9 Chi ha orecchie 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.
