1 Quando estavam já perto de Betfagé e Betânia, nos arredores de Jerusalém, e chegaram ao Monte das Oliveiras, Jesus mandou dois dos discípulos à frente

2 Vão até àquela aldeia além, e assim que entrarem verão ali presa uma cria de jumento que ninguém montou ainda. Soltem-na e tragam-na cá. Se alguém vos perguntar o que fazem, digam apenas: 'O Senhor precisa dela e tornará a entregá-la dentro de pouco tempo'.

4 Os dois homens lá foram e de facto viram ali a cria de jumento na rua, amarrada do lado de fora de uma casa. Quando a estavam a soltar, alguns que ali se encontravam perguntaram: Que fazem vocês a desamarrar o jumentinho? Responderam conforme Jesus tinha mandado, e os homens consentiram.

7 Levaram, pois, o jumentinho, e os discípulos puseram os mantos em cima do lombo do animal para que Jesus o montasse.

8 Muitas pessoas de entre a multidão espalharam as roupas ao longo da estrada à sua frente, enquanto outras estendiam-lhe ramos de folhas apanhados nos campos

10 Bendito seja o reino que vem estabelecer, o reino do nosso pai David! Glória a Deus nos altos céus!

11 Entrou, pois, em Jerusalém e dirigiu-se para o templo. Reparou atentamente em tudo à sua volta e foi-se embora, pois a hora já ia adiantada naquela tarde, retirando-se para Betânia com os dozes discípulos.

1 And, when they are drawing near unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, towards the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

2 and saith unto themGo your way into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, as ye are entering it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which, no, man, yet, hath sat: loose him, and bring him.

3 And, if anyone unto you should sayWhy are ye doing this? sayThe Lord, of him hath need; and, straightway, he sendeth him off again here.

4 And they departed, and found a colt, tied unto a door outside, on the street,and they are loosing him.

5 And, certain of them that were there standing, were saying unto themWhat are ye doing, loosing the colt?

6 and they said unto them as, Jesus, said,and they let them go.

7 And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and throw upon him their mantles,and he took his seat upon him.

8 And, many, spread out, their mantles, along the way, and, others, young branches,cutting them out of the fields.

9 And, they who were going before, and they who were following after, were crying aloudHosanna! Blessed, is he that is coming in the name of the Lord!

10 Blessed, is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!

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