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 "Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.

6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.

8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times."

9 Then Jesus said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear."
