1 And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,

2 and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no {child} of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it {here}.

3 And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.

4 And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.

5 And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?

6 And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them {do it}.

7 And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;

8 and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees {and went on strewing them on the way}.

9 And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed {be} he that comes in {the} Lord's name.

10 Blessed {be} the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!

11 And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

1 他们走近耶路撒冷， 到了伯法其和伯大尼， 来到橄榄山那里， 耶稣派了两个门徒，

2 对他们说： "你们往对面的村子里去， 一进去， 就会看见一头小驴拴在那里， 是没有人骑过的， 把它解开牵来。

3 如果有人问你们： ‘为什么这样作？’你们就说： ‘主需要它， 并且很快会送还到这里来。’"

4 门徒去了， 就发现一头小驴， 拴在门外的街上， 就把它解开。

5 站在那里的人有的问他们说： "你们为什么解它？"

6 门徒照着耶稣所说的话回答他们， 那些人就让他们牵走了。

7 门徒把小驴牵到耶稣那里， 把自己的衣服搭在上面， 耶稣就骑了上去。

8 许多人把衣服铺在路上， 还有人从田野里砍了些树枝也铺在路上。

9 前行后随的人都喊着说： "‘和散那’， 奉主名来的是应当称颂的！

10 那将要来临的， 我们祖先大卫的国是应当称颂的！ 高天之上当唱‘和散那’！ "

11 耶稣到了耶路撒冷， 进入圣殿， 察看了一切， 因为时候已经不早， 就和十二门徒出城往伯大尼去。
