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 A, no ka tata ratou ki Hiruharama, ka tae ki Petapaki, ki Maunga Oriwa, ka tonoa atu e Ihu nga akonga tokorua,

2 Ka mea ia ki a raua, Haere ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua; na ka kite tonu korua i tetahi kaihe e here ana me tana kuao: wetekia, ka arahi mai ki ahau.

3 A, ki te whai kupu tetahi tangata ki a korua, ki atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a raua mana; na ka tukua tonutia mai raua e ia.

4 I meinga tenei katoa hei whakarite mo te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai,

5 Mea atu ki te tamahine o Hiona, Na, ko tou kingi e haere mai na ki a koe, he ngakau mahaki tona, e noho ana i runga i te kaihe, i te kuao hoki, i te tama a te kaihe.

6 Na haere ana nga akonga, meatia ana ta Ihu i mea ai ki a raua.

7 Arahina mai ana te kaihe me te kuao, wharikitia ana ki runga o raua kakahu, a noho ana ia ki runga.

8 A he nui rawa te hui ki te whariki i o ratou kakahu ki te ara; ko etahi i tapahi manga mai i nga rakau, a wharikitia ana ki te ara.

9 Ko nga mano i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, kei te karanga, kei te mea, Ohana ki te Tama a Rawiri: Ka whakapaingia tenei e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; Ohana i runga rawa.

10 A, no ka uru ia ki Hiruharama, ka oho katoa te pa, ka mea, Ko wai tenei?

11 Ka mea te mano, Ko Ihu tenei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Kariri.
