Matthew 13:7.

the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart

"Satan causes him to forget the word of God that he has heard".

snatches away

Try to use a word that means to grab something away from someone who is the rightful owner.

what has been sown in his heart

This can be translated with the active form: "the word God sowed in his heart." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

in his heart

in the heart of the hearer

This is he who was sown on the wayside

If a literal translation makes no sense, try to translate so the reader understands that Jesus is the sower, the message is the seed, and the hearer is the soil on the wayside. Possible translation: "This is how it is with what was sown on the wayside." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)

wayside

"road" or "path." Translate this as you did in Matthew 13:3.
