Och han talade till dem i många liknelser. Han sade:

"En såningsman gick ut för att så. Och när han sådde, föll en del vid vägen, och fåglarna kom och åt upp det. En del föll på stenig mark, där det inte hade mycket jord. Det sköt genast upp, eftersom det inte hade djup jord. Men när solen steg, förbrändes det och vissnade bort, därför att det inte hade någon rot. En del föll bland tistlar, och tistlarna växte upp och kvävde det. Men en del föll i god jord och bar frukt, hundrafalt och sextiofalt och trettiofalt. Hör, du som har öron!"

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred,(A) sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”(B)

Liknelsens innebörd

18 Hör alltså vad som menas med liknelsen om såningsmannen. 19 När någon hör budskapet om riket men inte förstår det, kommer den onde och rycker bort det som blivit sått i hans hjärta. Detta är sådden vid vägen. 20 Det som såddes på stenig mark är den som hör ordet och genast tar emot det med glädje, 21 men inte har någon rot. Han håller ut endast en tid, och möter han lidande eller förföljelse för ordets skull, så kommer han genast på fall. 22 Det som såddes bland tistlar är den som hör ordet, men världsliga bekymmer och bedräglig rikedom kväver ordet, så att det blir utan frukt. 23 Men det som såddes i god jord är den som hör ordet och förstår, och som bär frukt, hundrafalt och sextiofalt och trettiofalt."

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom(A) and does not understand it, the evil one(B) comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.(C) 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth(D) choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”(E)

"Lyssna! En såningsman gick ut för att så. Och när han sådde föll en del vid vägen, och fåglarna kom och åt upp det. En del föll på stenig mark där det inte fanns mycket jord, och det kom snart upp därför att det inte hade djup jord. Men när solen steg sveddes det, och eftersom det inte hade någon rot torkade det bort. En del föll bland tistlar, och tistlarna växte upp och kvävde det, så att det inte gav någon skörd. Men en del föll i god jord. Det sköt upp och växte och gav skörd, trettiofalt och sextiofalt och hundrafalt." Och han sade: "Hör, du som har öron att höra med!"

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

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.

And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

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

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

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.

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

14 Såningsmannen sår ordet. 15 De vid vägen är de hos vilka ordet sås. Men när de hör det, kommer genast Satan och tar bort ordet som är sått i dem. 16 De som sås på stenig mark är de som genast tar emot ordet med glädje, när de hör det. 17 Men de har inte någon rot i sig utan tror bara till en tid. Möter de sedan lidande eller förföljelse för ordets skull, kommer de strax på fall. 18 Hos andra faller säden bland tistlar. Det är de som har hört ordet, 19 men världsliga bekymmer, bedräglig rikedom och begär efter allt annat kommer in och kväver ordet, så att det blir utan frukt. 20 Men de hos vilka säden faller i god jord, det är de som hör ordet och tar emot det och bär frukt, trettiofalt och sextiofalt och hundrafalt."

14 The sower soweth the word.

15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

14 The farmer sows the word.(A) 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan(B) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth(C) and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

"En såningsman gick ut för att så sitt utsäde. Och när han sådde föll en del vid vägen och trampades ner, och himlens fåglar åt upp det. En del föll på stenig mark, och när det hade kommit upp torkade det bort, eftersom det inte hade någon fuktighet. En del föll bland tistlar, och tistlarna växte upp samtidigt och kvävde det. Men en del föll i god jord och växte upp och gav hundrafaldig skörd." När han hade sagt detta, ropade han: "Hör, du som har öron att höra med!"

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”

When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(A)

11 Detta är liknelsens mening: Säden är Guds ord. 12 De vid vägen är de som har hört ordet, men sedan kommer djävulen och tar bort det ur deras hjärtan, så att de inte kan tro och bli frälsta. 13 De på stenig mark är de som tar emot ordet med glädje när de har hört det. Men de har ingen rot. De tror bara till en tid, och i frestelsens stund kommer de på fall. 14 Det som föll bland tistlar är de som har hört ordet men som mer och mer kvävs av bekymmer, rikedom och njutningslystnad och aldrig bär mogen frukt. 15 Men det som föll i god jord är de som har hört ordet och behåller det i ett uppriktigt och gott hjärta och bär frukt och är uthålliga.

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(A) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(B) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(C) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
