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 When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here."

4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him. 5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?" 6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it. 8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. 9 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
