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 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 your{} way into the village that is across from you{}: and right away as you{} enter into it, you{} will find a colt tied, on which no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.

3 And if anyone says to you{}, Why do you{} do this? say{}, The Lord has need of him; and right away he will send him back here.

4 And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street; and they loose him.

5 And certain of those who stood there said to them, What do you{} do, loosing the colt?

6 And they said to them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.

7 And they bring the colt to Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat on him.

8 And many spread their garments on the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.

9 And those who went before, and those who followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he who comes in the name of Yahweh:

10 Blessed [is] the kingdom that comes, [the kingdom] of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.

11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked around on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
