Mattityahu 21:1-12 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. When they came near to Yerushalayim and arrived at Beit-Pagey on the Mount of Olives, then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent two talmidim,

2. saying to them, Go into the shtetl ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey having been tied and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me.

3. And if anyone should say to you anything, you say, HaAdon has need of them. And he will send them immediately.

4. And this took place in order that might be fulfilled the thing spoken by the Navi (Prophet), saying:

5. IMRU LBAT TZIYON! (Tell the Daughter of Zion!) Hinei! Your Melech comes, ANI VROCHEV AL CHAMOR VAL AYIR BEN ATONOT (poor, humble and riding on a donkey and upon a colt, the foal of donkeys YESHAYAH 62:11; ZECHARYAH 9:9).

6. And having accomplished just what Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had commanded them,

7. they brought the donkey and the colt and they put their garments upon them, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sat upon them.

8. And the very large multitudes spread out their garments on the road, and others were cutting lulavim from the trees, and were spreading them out on the road.

9. And the multitudes going before him and the multitudes following after him were crying out, saying, HOSHAN NAH (Save now, TEHILLIM 118:25-26) to Ben Dovid! BARUCH HABAH BSHEM ADONOI! Hoshannah in the Highest!

10. And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had entered into Yerushalayim, the whole city was stirred, saying, "Who is this ?"

11. And the multitudes were saying, This is Yehoshua HaNavi! From Natzeret in the Galil.

12. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach arrived at the Beis Hamikdash and expelled the ones selling and buying in the Beis Hamikdash. And he turned over the tishen (tables) of the machalifei hakesafim (money changers) and the chairs of those selling the yonim (doves).
