OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous having_found a_little_donkey, sat_down on it, as is having_been_written,
OET (OET-RV) Now Yeshua had found a young donkey and rode it into the city just like it was written in the scriptures,
Note 1 topic: writing-background
In 12:14–16 John interrupts the story to give background information about how Jesus fulfilled an Old Testament prophecy about the Messiah riding on a donkey. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εὑρὼν & ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὀνάριον, ἐκάθισεν ἐπ’ αὐτό
/having/_found & ¬the Jesus /a/_little_donkey sat_down on it
John implies that Jesus will ride the donkey into Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it, riding it into the city”
Note 3 topic: writing-quotations
καθώς ἐστιν γεγραμμένον
as is /having_been/_written
This phrase introduces a combination of parts of various quotations from the Old Testament which occur in the next verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that John is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “just as the prophets wrote in the Old Testament” or “as it had been written in the scriptures”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καθώς ἐστιν γεγραμμένον
as is /having_been/_written
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “as prophets wrote in the Scripture”
12:14 By choosing a young donkey rather than a warhorse, Jesus calmed the frenzied crowd that was passionate for his kingship. He also fulfilled Old Testament predictions regarding the Messiah (see Zech 9:9) and showed that his kingship was not that of a warrior. His gift is life, not conquest.
