1 En toe hulle naby Jerusalem kom, by B,tfag, en Bet nië, aan die Olyfberg, stuur Hy twee van sy dissipels uit

2 en sê vir hulle: Gaan na daardie dorp reg voor julle; en dadelik as julle daar inkom, sal julle 'n eselsvul vind wat vasgemaak is, waar geen mens op gesit het nie. Maak hom los en bring hom.

3 En as iemand vir julle sê: Waarom doen julle dit? moet julle antwoord: Die Here het hom nodig; en dadelik sal hy hom hierheen stuur.

4 En hulle het gegaan en die vul by die deur, buite op die straat, vasgemaak gevind en hom losgemaak.

5 Daarop sê sommige van die wat daar staan, vir hulle: Wat maak julle dat julle die vul losmaak?

6 En hulle antwoord hul soos Jesus beveel het. Toe laat hulle hul begaan.

7 En hulle het die vul na Jesus gebring en hulle klere daarop gelê, en Hy het op hom gaan sit.

8 Toe gooi baie mense hulle klere op die pad oop, en ander kap takke van die bome af en strooi dit op die pad.

9 En die wat voor geloop en die wat gevolg het, het uitgeroep en gesê: Hosanna! Geseënd is Hy wat kom in die Naam van die Here!

10 Geseënd is die koninkryk wat kom in die Naam van die Here, die koninkryk van ons vader Dawid! Hosanna in die hoogste hemele!

11 En Jesus het in Jerusalem gekom en in die tempel. En nadat Hy alles rondom bekyk het, en omdat dit al aand was, het Hy met die twaalf uitgegaan na Bet nië.

1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

2 And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

3 And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

4 And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.

5 And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

6 And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.

7 And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.

8 And a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields.

9 And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

10 A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.

11 And he went into Jerusalem into the Temple; and after looking round about on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
