- Они коснулись земли, и зерно выросло."
В предыдущей строке говорится, что они сеяли семена на вспаханном поле. Очевидно, они сеяли семена вручную (не с машин), поэтому их руки приближались к земле и даже касались земли (земля здесь означает почву, а не планету Земля), и из этих семян зерно росло в полях.
-У них есть много чистых слов, чтобы сказать."
Их мысли и слова были чисты. Они не говорили плохо о людях и не использовали плохие слова.

"They have a lot of clean words to say."
Their thoughts and words were pure. They didn't say bad things about people or use bad words.
