Jesus finishes telling a parable about a person who sows seeds.
|
|
|
|
# fell among the thorn plants
|
|
|
|
"fell where plants with thorns grew"
|
|
|
|
# choked them
|
|
|
|
"choked the new sprouts." Use your word for the way weeds prevent other plants from growing well.
|
|
|
|
# produced grain
|
|
|
|
"produced a crop" or "grew more seeds" or "gave fruit"
|
|
|
|
# some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty
|
|
|
|
The words "seeds," "produced," and "grain" are understood from the previous phrase. These can be expressed clearly. AT: "some seeds produced one hundred times as much grain, some seeds produced sixty times as much grain, and some seeds produced thirty times as much grain"

# one hundred ... sixty ... thirty

# He who has ears
|
|
|
|
This is a way of referring to everyone there who was hearing what Jesus was saying. See how you translated this in [Matthew 11:15](../11/13.md). AT: "Whoever can hear me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
|
|
|
|
# listen
|
|
|
|
Here "listen" represents paying attention. See how you translated this in [Matthew 11:15](../11/13.md). AT: "pay attention to what I am saying" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
