Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} links to a second clause in which eutheōs {εὐθέως | eu-thé-ōs} ‘immediately’ modifies the participle eisporeuomenoi eis autēn {εἰσπορευόμενοι εἰς αὐτὴν | eis-po-reu-ó-me-noi eis au-tḕn} ‘as you enter it’, establishing the temporal frame for the future verb heurēsete pōlon dedemenon {εὑρήσετε πῶλον δεδεμένον | heu-rḗ-se-te pō-lon de-de-mé-non} ‘you will find a colt tied’, with the participle dedemenon attributively describing its state.
kai pherete {λύσατε … καὶ φέρετε | lý-sa-te … kaí phé-re-te} ‘untie … and bring’, forming a direct instruction sequence. The temporal participle is rendered as a temporal clause, and the relative clause is preserved to maintain its qualifying emphasis, while the imperatives are kept as clear commands.
