UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἄλλα

others

Jesus is using the adjective others as a noun to mean some of the rest of the seeds that did not fall beside the road or on rocky soil. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. See how you translated the word in 13:5. Alternate translation: [some of the rest of the seeds]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐδίδου καρπόν

/was/_giving fruit

Here the word fruit refers to the crop that the plants that grew from the seeds produced. Since the farmer is sowing wheat seeds, this crop would be more wheat seeds. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [were producing more seeds] or [sprouted and produced a harvest]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

καρπόν

fruit

Here, the word fruit is singular in form, but it refers to many fruits as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: [fruits]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃ μὲν ἑκατὸν, ὃ δὲ ἑξήκοντα, ὃ δὲ τριάκοντα

some on_one_hand /a/_hundred some on_the_other_hand sixty some on_the_other_hand thirty

Here Jesus means that plants produced 100, 60, or 30 new seeds. Scholars estimate that these numbers are very good in Jesus’ time period, although not impossible or unheard of. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make these ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: [and they produced a very good harvest, with some plants producing 100 seeds, and some plants producing 60 seeds, and other plants producing 30 seeds] or [many times more than the farmer planted: some 100 times more, and some 60 times more, and some 30 times more]
