¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

¹In ko so se približevali Jeruzalemu, Betfagi in Betaniji pri Oljski gori, pošlje dva izmed učencev svojih

²and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.

²in jima reče: Pojdita v vas, ki vama je nasproti, in precej, ko prideta vanjo, najdeta žrebe privezano, ki na njem še noben človek ni sedel: odvežita ga in pripeljita.

³ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”

³In če vama kdo reče: Kaj delata to? recita: Gospod ga potrebuje in precej ga zopet pošlje sem.

⁴They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

⁴In odideta ter najdeta žrebe privezano pri vratih zunaj na ulici in ga odvežeta.

⁵Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”

⁵In nekateri tistih, ki so ondi stali, jima reko: Kaj delata, da odvezujeta žrebe?

⁶They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

⁶Ona pa jim rečeta, kakor je bil Jezus naročil; in ju puste.

⁷They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

⁷In pripeljeta žrebe k Jezusu in denejo nanje oblačila svoja, in on sede nanje.

⁸Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

⁸Mnogi pa pogrnejo oblačila svoja po cesti; a drugi steljejo mladičje, ki so ga nasekali po polju.

⁹Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:25-26

⁹In tisti, ki ga spremljajo spredaj in zadaj, kličejo: Hosana! Blagoslovljen, ki prihaja v imenu Gospodovem!

¹⁰Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

¹⁰Blagoslovljeno kraljestvo, ki prihaja, kraljestvo očeta našega Davida! Hosana na višavah!

¹¹Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹¹In Jezus pride v Jeruzalem in v tempelj; in ko si je vse ogledal, odide, ker je bil že večer, z dvanajsterimi v Betanijo.

¹²The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

¹²In ko so drugi dan šli iz Betanije, postane lačen.

¹³Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

¹³In ugleda od daleč smokvo, ki je imela listje, pa pride, če morda kaj najde na njej; toda ko pristopi k njej, ne najde ničesar razen listja, kajti še ni bil čas za smokve.

¹⁴Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

¹⁴In Jezus izpregovori in ji reče: Na vekomaj nikoli nihče s tebe sadu ne jej! In slišali so to učenci njegovi.

¹⁵They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹⁵In pridejo v Jeruzalem. In ko stopi Jezus v tempelj, začne izganjati tiste, si so v templju prodajali in kupovali, in prevrne mize menjalcem in stole prodajalcem golobov

¹⁶He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

¹⁶in ne pusti, da bi kdo nesel posodo skozi tempelj.

¹⁷He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?’ Isaiah 56:7 But you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁷In uči jih in jim reče: Mar ni pisano: „Dom moj naj se imenuje dom molitve vsem narodom“? A vi ste naredili iz njega razbojniško jamo.

¹⁸The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

¹⁸In slišali so to višji duhovniki in pismarji in so iskali, kako bi ga pogubili; zakaj bali so se ga, ker se je vse ljudstvo čudilo nauku njegovemu.

¹⁹When evening came, he went out of the city.

¹⁹In vsak večer je šel ven iz mesta.

²⁰As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

²⁰In ko gredo zjutraj mimo, ugledajo smokvo, da je suha do korenine.

²¹Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”

²¹In Peter se spomni in mu reče: Rabi, glej, smokva, ki si jo preklel, se je posušila.

²²Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

²²Jezus pa odgovori in jim veli: Imejte vero v Boga!

²³ For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

²³Resnično vam pravim: Če kdo reče tej gori: Vzdigni se in vrzi se v morje, in ne dvomi v srcu svojem, temuč veruje, da se zgodi, kar pravi, zgodilo se mu bode.

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

²⁴Zato vam pravim: Vse, karkoli v molitvi svoji prosite, verujte, da ste prejeli, in zgodi se vam.

²⁵ Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

²⁵In kadar stopite k molitvi, odpustite, če imate zoper koga kaj, da tudi Oče vaš, ki je v nebesih, vam odpusti vaše pregrehe.

²⁶ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

²⁶Če pa vi ne odpustite, tudi vam ne odpusti Oče vaš, ki je v nebesih, vaših pregreškov.

²⁷They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,

²⁷In pridejo zopet v Jeruzalem. In ko se je v templju izprehajal, pridejo k njemu višji duhovniki in pismarji in starejšine

²⁸and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”

²⁸in mu reko: S kakšno oblastjo delaš to? ali kdo ti je dal to oblast, da to delaš?

²⁹Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁹Jezus pa jim reče: Vprašal vas bom eno besedo, in odgovorite mi, pa vam povem, s kakšno oblastjo to delam.

³⁰ The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”

³⁰Krst Janezov, je li bil iz nebes ali od ljudi? Odgovorite mi!

³¹They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

³¹In premišljevali so sami pri sebi, govoreč: Če rečemo: Iz nebes, poreče: Zakaj mu torej niste verovali?

³²If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

³²Če pa rečemo: Od ljudi – bali so se ljudstva; kajti vsi so mislili o Janezu, da je bil res prorok.Pa odgovore Jezusu in reko: Ne vemo. In Jezus jim reče: Tudi jaz vam ne povem, s kakšno oblastjo to delam.

³³They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

³³Pa odgovore Jezusu in reko: Ne vemo. In Jezus jim reče: Tudi jaz vam ne povem, s kakšno oblastjo to delam.
