3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

4 Ja hänen kylväessään osa putosi tien oheen, ja linnut tulivat ja söivät sen.

5 Ja osa putosi kallioperälle, jossa sillä ei ollut paljon maata, ja se nousi kohta oraalle, kun sillä ei ollut syvää maata.

6 Mutta auringon noustua se paahtui, ja kun sillä ei ollut juurta, niin se kuivettui.

7 Ja osa putosi orjantappuroihin; ja orjantappurat nousivat ja tukahuttivat sen, eikä se tehnyt hedelmää.
