3 Ouvi: Saiu o semeador a semear.

4 Enquanto lançava a semente, uma parte caiu à beira do caminho, e vieram as aves e a comeram.

5 Outra parte caiu no pedregulho, onde não havia muita terra; o grão germinou logo, porque a terra não era profunda;

6 mas, assim que o sol despontou, queimou-se e, como não tivesse raiz, secou.

7 Outra parte caiu entre os espinhos; estes cresceram, sufocaram-na e o grão não deu fruto.

8 Outra caiu em terra boa e deu fruto, cresceu e desenvolveu-se; um grão rendeu trinta, outro sessenta e outro cem.

9 E dizia: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça!

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.
