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,

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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?“

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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?”

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?

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.

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.

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?’

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.’

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.’

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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

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

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“.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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