3 — Escutem! Certo homem saiu para semear. 4 E, quando estava espalhando as sementes, algumas caíram na beira do caminho, e os passarinhos comeram tudo. 5 Outra parte das sementes caiu num lugar onde havia muitas pedras e pouca terra. As sementes brotaram logo porque a terra não era funda. 6 Mas, quando o sol apareceu, queimou as plantas, e elas secaram porque não tinham raízes. 7 Outras sementes caíram no meio de espinhos, que cresceram e sufocaram as plantas. Por isso nada produziram. 8 Mas as sementes que caíram em terra boa brotaram, cresceram e produziram na base de trinta, sessenta e até cem grãos por um.

9 E Jesus terminou, dizendo:

— Se vocês têm ouvidos para ouvir, então ouçam.

3 Listen: Look, the sower went forth to sow:

4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.

5 And other [seed] fell on the rocky [ground], where it did not have much earth; and right away it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:

6 and when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 And other [seed] fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

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