NOTE: I am neither Christian nor Messianic. I may, though, be a Yeshuan Gnostic. Below I have given the Prologue (0) and Sayings 1-5 of the 114 Sayings of the Gospel of Thomas (GTh), in a public-domain English translation by Mark M. Mattison, and in automatic translation into modern Hebrew (using Google Translate). The output of the translation program has not been edited, so there are probably errors. I am doing this project as a research tool for my own purposes (I have been studying GTh off and on at least since 1988), but I've decided that I may as well share it with others.
These are the hidden sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down. 0
אלו הן האמירות הנסתרות שישוע החי דיבר ודידימוס יהודה תומאס רשם. 0
ויאמר: "המגלה את פשר האמרות הללו, לא יטעם מיתה". 1
ישוע אמר, "מי שמחפש לא צריך לעצור עד שימצא. כשהם מוצאים, הם יפריעו. כשהם מופרעים, הם יתפלאו וימלכו על הכל." 2
Jesus said, "If your leaders tell you, 'Look, the kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they tell you, 'It's in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and outside of you.
"When you know yourselves, then you'll be known, and you'll realize that you're the children of the living Father. But if you don't know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty." 3
