uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει

the_‹one› sowing the word /is/_sowing

Here Jesus speaks about what the word as if it were what the sower sows in the parable. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form. Alternative translation: “what the sower sows is like the word”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν λόγον σπείρει

the word /is/_sowing

See how you translated “sow” in 4:4. Alternate translation: “throws the word like seeds over the ground” or “scatters the word like seeds over the field”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον

the word

Jesus is using the term word to mean the gospel, which people preach using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the gospel”
