Gospel of Thomas 64 in English and Udugi ꭴꮪꭹ

 

Saying 64: The Parable of the Dinner Party

Jesus said, "Someone was planning on having guests. When dinner was ready, they sent their servant to call the visitors.

"The servant went to the first and said, 'My master invites you.'

"They said, 'Some merchants owe me money. They're coming tonight. I need to go and give them instructions. Excuse me from the dinner.'

"The servant went to another one and said, 'My master invites you.'

"They said, "I've just bought a house and am needed for the day. I won't have time.'

"The servant went to another one and said, 'My master invites you.'

"They said, 'My friend is getting married and I'm going to make dinner. I can't come. Excuse me from the dinner.'

"The servant went to another one and said, 'My master invites you.'

"They said, "I've just bought a farm and am going to collect the rent. I can't come. Excuse me.'

"The servant went back and told the master, 'The ones you've invited to the dinner have excused themselves.'

"The master said to their servant, 'Go out to the roads and bring whomever you find so that they can have dinner.'

"Buyers and merchants won't [enter] the places of my Father."

178,000 Page-Views, and New Horizons

 We have now reached the milestone of 178,000 page-views in this blog. I thought we would be stuck on 177k forever. In reality, though, it only took two months to go from 177k to 178k. That shows how subjective we can be about things.

At the end of January, I lost my beloved wife. That brought a sea-change in every area of my life, and is still doing so. One cannot lose one's constant companion of 45 years without noticing a huge difference in every part of one's life.

I find myself in a retirement facility where I do not belong (at least, not yet). Fortunately, events conspired to convince me, not only that I need to get out of here, but that I need to return to Uruguay. This is something that Sandy dreamed of doing, but her health did not permit it.

So, I've put a deposit on a house in Uruguay, and hope that the transaction will close soon. I will have a great house, just a few blocks from the beach in Parque del Plata. Our dog, Betty, is going back, too.

Gospel of Thomas 63 in English and Udugi ꭴꮪꭹ

 

Saying 63: The Parable of the Rich Fool

Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I'll use my money to sow, reap, plant, and fill my barns with fruit, so that I won't need anything.' That's what he was thinking to himself, but he died that very night. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!"

tsisa hinegise, "gesvise asgaya uwenai na uhise ugodi adelane. atsvyai hinegise, "aya gvdihose aqua adelane awisdi, agalasdi, awisga, ale kaligi aqua adananvdiyine udatanv gvdodi, hia-iyv aya tla uduladose nigavquo."

Saying 61: Jesus and Salome

Jesus said, "Two will rest on a couch. One will die, the other will live."

Salome said, "Who are you, Sir, to climb onto my couch and eat off my table as if you're from someone?"

Jesus said to her, "I'm the one who exists in equality. Some of what belongs to my Father was given to me."

"I'm your disciple."

"So I'm telling you, if someone is /equal\, they'll be full of light; but if they're divided, they'll be full of darkness."

tsisa hinegise, "tali atsawesolvsdose ganitli nahna. saquu ayohuhisdose, saquu alenidohose." "gago nihi adanvtesgase nihi gesvase," salome adadvdodise, "galegi aqua ganitli nahna ale agisdi aqua gasgilo nidvlenvda, tsilv iyuno nihi gesvuse giloi nidvlenvda?"
