OET (OET-LV) And this is the parable:
the seed is the message of_ the _god.

OET (OET-RV) “So this is what the parable means: the seeds are God’s message.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:9–15: Jesus explained the parable about four types of soil

In 8:9–10 Jesus explained why he taught in parables. Then in 8:11–15 he explained the meaning of the parable in 8:1–8b. The basic meaning of Jesus’ explanation is clear. However, there are questions about the meaning of the seed in this section. In 8:11 the seed refers to the word of God. In 8:12–15 what is sown seems to refer to the people who hear the word. This has led to several interpretations for the seed in 8:12–15.

The interpretation that the Notes follows is that in 8:12–15 the seed continues to represent the word. The introductory expressions such as “those on/beside/in…are…” (RSV) refer generally to four different ways in which people hear and respond to the word.

Many scholars support this interpretation in their commentaries. In some versions the seed appears to refer to the people. However, even in these versions, the text implies that the seed of the word has different results in different kinds of people.

Here is the meaning of the main metaphors in the parable:

  1. The seeds represent the word, which is the message from God.

  2. The sowing of the seed represents telling the message to people.

  3. The different kinds of soil represent the way different people hear the message.

This section heading should be similar to the section heading for 8:1–10. You may use the word “explained” or “Jesus explained” (instead of “Jesus told”).

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus explained the parable of the sower and the soils

The parable/story/illustration about the four soils explained

The explanation of the parable about four kinds of people

The meaning of the parable of a man scattering seed

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 13:18–23 and Mark 4:13–20.

8:11a

Now this is the meaning of the parable:

In this paragraph Jesus continued to speak, but he did not continue the quotation from the Old Testament in 8:10. He began to answer the question that the disciples asked in 8:9. In some languages it may be natural to introduce this in some way. For example:

Jesus continued

Then Jesus said

Now this is the meaning of the parable: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as Now this is the meaning of the parable introduces the explanation of the parable in 8:1–8b. Introduce this explanation in a natural way in your language.

For advice on ways to translate the word parable, see the note at 8:4b. This word also occurs in 8:9 and 8:10b.

8:11b

The seed is the word of God.

The seed is the word of God: The seed is a metaphor for the word of God. Other ways to say this are:

The seed represents God’s Word.

The seed is like God’s message.

seed: The Greek word that the BSB translates as seed and the English word seed are singular in form. However, the same form is used to refer to many seeds. In some languages it may be necessary to use a plural form here. See the note on “seed” at 8:5a. The farmer was probably sowing a type of grain. As you translate 8:11–15, be sure to use the same word for seed that you used in 8:4–8.

the word of God: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the word of God means “the word that comes from God” or “the message that God has sent.” Jesus was referring here primarily to his own teaching. He was probably referring specifically to what he taught about the kingdom of God, to which he referred in 8:10.

uW Translation Notes:

ἔστιν δὲ αὕτη ἡ παραβολή

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐστίν Δέ αὕτη ἡ παραβολή ὁ σπόρος ἐστίν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Alternate translation: [this is what the story means]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ σπόρος ἐστὶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ

the seed the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐστίν Δέ αὕτη ἡ παραβολή ὁ σπόρος ἐστίν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Jesus uses the term word to refer to the message from God that people share by using words. Alternate translation: [The seed represents the message from God]

OET (OET-LV) And this is the parable:

OET (OET-RV) “So this is what the parable means: the seeds are God’s message.
