1 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them."

4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

5 "Tell the daughter of Zion,

behold, your King comes to you,

humble, and riding on a donkey,

on a colt, the foal of a donkey."

6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them, 7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them. 8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, "Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"

11 The multitudes said, "This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."

1 Ja kui nad Jeruusalema ligi said ja Betfage poole Õlimäele tulid, siis läkitas Jeesus kaks jüngrit ning ütles neile:

2 „Minge sinna alevisse, mis on teie ees, ja varsti te leiate kinniseotud emaeesli ja sälu ta juures; päästke need lahti ja tooge Mu juure.

3 Ja kui teile keegi midagi ütleb, siis ütelge: Issandal on neid tarvis! Siis Ta lähetab nad sedamaid.

4 Aga see on kõik sündinud, et läheks täide, mis on üteldud prohveti kaudu:

5

6 Siis jüngrid läksid ja tegid nõnda, nagu Jeesus neid oli käskinud,

7 ning tõid emaeesli ja sälu ja panid riided nende peale ja panid Ta riiete peale istuma.

8 Aga suurem hulk laotas oma riided tee peale, aga teised raiusid oksi puudest ja puistasid tee peale.

9 Aga rahvahulgad, kes ees ja taga käisid, hüüdsid: „Hoosianna Taaveti Pojale! Õnnistatud olgu, Kes tuleb Issanda nimel! Hoosianna kõrges!"

10 Ja kui Ta Jeruusalemma sisse läks, tõusis kogu linn liikvele ja ütles: „Kes See on?"

11 Aga rahvas ütles: „Tema on See Prohvet Jeesus Galilea Naatsaretist!"
