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, lo, the sower went forth to sow;

4 and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it;

5 and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth,

6 and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;

7 and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;

8 and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.

9 And he said to them, He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.
