¹In ko se približajo Jeruzalemu in pridejo v Betfago k Oljski gori, tedaj pošlje Jezus dva učenca

¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

²in jima reče: Pojdita v vas, ki je vama nasproti, in precej najdeta oslico privezano in žrebe ž njo: odvežita ju in pripeljita k meni.

²saying 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.

³In če vama kdo kaj reče, recita: Gospod ju potrebuje; in takoj ju pošlje.

³ If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

⁴To pa se je zgodilo, da se izpolni, kar je rečeno po proroku, ki pravi:

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

⁵„Povejte hčeri sionski: Glej, kralj tvoj prihaja k tebi krotak in sedi na oslici in žrebetu oslice pod jarmom“.

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.” Zechariah 9:9

⁶In učenca gresta ter storita, kakor jima je Jezus ukazal:

⁶The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them,

⁷pripeljeta oslico in žrebe. In položijo nanju oblačila svoja, in on sede nanje.

⁷and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

⁸Mnogo ljudstva pa pogrne oblačila svoja po poti, a drugi sekajo veje z dreves, ter jih steljejo po poti.

⁸A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.

⁹In množice, ki ga spremljajo spredaj in zadaj, kličejo glasno, govoreč: Hosana [T. j. Daj rešitev.] sinu Davidovemu! Blagoslovljen, ki prihaja v imenu Gospodovem! Hosana na višavah!

⁹The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” Psalm 118:26

¹⁰In ko pride v Jeruzalem, se vznemiri vse mesto in govoré: Kdo je ta?

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

¹¹Ljudstvo pa pravi: Ta je prorok Jezus iz Nazareta v Galileji.

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

¹²In Jezus pride v tempelj Božji in izžene vse, ki so v templju prodajali in kupovali, in prevrne mize menjalcem in stole tistim, ki so prodajali golobe,

¹²Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹³in jim reče: Pisano je: „Dom moj naj se imenuje dom molitve“, a vi delate iz njega razbojniško jamo.

¹³He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁴In pristopijo k njemu v templju slepci in hromci, in jih ozdravi.

¹⁴The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

¹⁵Ko pa vidijo višji duhovniki in pismarji čudeže, ki jih dela, in otroke, da kličejo v templju in govoré: Hosana sinu Davidovemu! se razjeze

¹⁵But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

¹⁶in mu reko: Slišiš li, kaj ti pravijo? Jezus pa jim reče: Seveda. Ali niste nikoli brali: „Iz ust nedoraslih in dojencev si pripravil sebi hvalo?“

¹⁶and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’” Psalm 8:2

¹⁷In jih pusti in gre ven iz mesta v Betanijo, in tu prenoči.

¹⁷He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

¹⁸Zjutraj pa, vračajoč se v mesto, postane lačen.

¹⁸Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

¹⁹In ugledavši kraj poti edino smokvo, pristopi k njej in ničesar ne najde na njej razen samo listje. In ji reče: Nikoli več naj ne bo na tebi sadu na vekomaj! In usahne smokva takoj.

¹⁹Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

²⁰In videč to, se začudijo učenci in reko: Kako naglo je usahnila smokva!

²⁰When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

²¹Jezus pa odgovori in jim reče: Resnično vam pravim: Če imate vero in ne dvomite, ne boste samo storili, kar se je zgodilo na tej smokvi, ampak če tudi rečete tej gori: Vzdigni se in vrzi se v morje! se zgodi.

²¹Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

²²In vse, česarkoli v molitvi prosite, če verujete, boste prejeli.

²² All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

²³In ko je prišel v tempelj in učil, pristopijo k njemu višji duhovniki in starejšine ljudstva, govoreč: S kakšno oblastjo delaš to? in kdo ti je dal to oblast?

²³When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

²⁴Jezus pa odgovori in jim reče: Vprašal vas bom tudi jaz eno besedo, in če mi jo poveste, povem tudi jaz vam, s kakšno oblastjo to delam.

²⁴Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁵Odkod je bil krst Janezov? iz nebes ali od ljudi? Oni pa so sami pri sebi premišljevali in govorili: Če rečemo: Iz nebes, nam poreče: Zakaj mu torej niste verovali?

²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

²⁶Če pa rečemo: Od ljudi – se bojimo ljudstva; kajti vsi imajo Janeza za proroka.

²⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

²⁷In odgovore Jezusu in reko: Ne vemo. Tudi on jim reče: Tudi jaz vam ne povem, s kakšno oblastjo to delam.

²⁷They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁸Kaj se vam pa zdi? Neki človek je imel dva sina, in pristopivši k prvemu, reče: Sin, pojdi, delaj danes v vinogradu!

²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

²⁹On pa odgovori in reče: Nočem. Potem se pa skesa in gre.

²⁹ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

³⁰In pristopivši k drugemu, reče ravno tako. On pa odgovori in reče: Pojdem, gospod! A ni šel.

³⁰ He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

³¹Kateri teh dveh je izpolnil voljo očetovo? Reko mu: Prvi. Jezus jim reče: Resnično vam pravim, da se rinejo cestninarji in nečistnice pred vami v kraljestvo Božje.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

³²Kajti prišel je k vam Janez po poti pravičnosti, in niste mu verjeli; cestninarji in nečistnice pa so mu verjeli. Vi pa, dasi ste to videli, se še potem niste skesali, da bi mu bili verjeli.

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

³³Čujte drugo priliko! Bil je hišni gospodar, ki je zasadil vinograd in ga ogradil s plotom in izkopal v njem klet in sezidal stolp ter ga izročil vinogradnikom in odpotoval.

³³ “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

³⁴Ko se pa približa čas sadu, pošlje hlapce svoje k vinogradnikom, da prejmo pridelke njegove.

³⁴ When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

³⁵A vinogradniki zgrabijo hlapce, in enega pretepo, drugega ubijejo, a še drugega posujejo s kamenjem.

³⁵ The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

³⁶Zopet pošlje druge hlapce, ki jih je bilo več od prvih, in ž njimi store ravno tako.

³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

³⁷Potem pa pošlje k njim sina svojega, rekoč: Sina mojega se bodo bali.

³⁷ But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

³⁸Ko pa ugledajo vinogradniki sina, reko med seboj: Ta je dedič. Pridite, ubijmo ga in prilastimo si dediščino njegovo!

³⁸ But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’

³⁹Ter ga zgrabijo in vržejo ven iz vinograda in ubijejo.

³⁹ So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

⁴⁰Kadar pride torej gospodar vinogradov, kaj bo storil tem vinogradnikom?

⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

⁴¹Reko mu: Hudobneže te hudo pogubi in vinograd svoj izroči drugim vinogradnikom, ki mu bodo dajali sad ob svojem času.

⁴¹They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season.”

⁴²Jezus jim reče: Ali niste nikoli brali v pismu: „Kamen, ki so ga zidarji zavrgli, ta je postal glava voglu; od Gospoda se je to zgodilo, in čudno je v očeh naših“.

⁴²Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?’ Psalm 118:22-23

⁴³Zato vam pravim, da se vam odvzame kraljestvo Božje in bo dano narodu, ki prinaša njegove sadove.

⁴³ “Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.

⁴⁴In kdor na ta kamen pade, se razbije, a na kogar on pade, ga razdrobi.

⁴⁴ He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

⁴⁵In ko slišijo višji duhovniki in farizeji prilike njegove, spoznajo, da govori o njih.In radi bi ga bili ujeli, ali zboje se množic, ker so ga vsi imeli za proroka.

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

⁴⁶In radi bi ga bili ujeli, ali zboje se množic, ker so ga vsi imeli za proroka.

⁴⁶When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
