Saying 4: First and Last
Jesus said, "The older person won't hesitate to ask a little seven-day-old child about the place of life, and they'll live, because many who are first will be last, and they'll become one."

Jesus said, "Know what's in front of your face, and what's hidden from you will be revealed to you, because there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed."

Saying 6: Public Ritual
His disciples said to him, "Do you want us to fast? And how should we pray? Should we make donations? And what food should we avoid?"
Jesus said, "Don't lie, and don't do what you hate, because everything is revealed in the sight of heaven; for there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed, and nothing covered up that will stay secret."

Prologue
These are the hidden sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

And he said, "Whoever discovers the meaning of these sayings won't taste death."

Saying 2: Seek and Find
Jesus said, "Whoever seeks shouldn't stop until they find. When they find, they'll be disturbed. When they're disturbed, they'll be […] amazed, and reign over the All."
tsisa hinegise, "gilo asyasdase tla aseuse alewisdodi nahiyui nasgidv awadvdase. hilayvi nasgidv awadvdase, nasgidvgesvose adadeyadodita. hilayvi nasgidv gesvase adadeyadodita, nasgidv gesvose [...] asquanigohisdita, ale ugvwiyu-degu-godisgose gadu hia nigadvne.

Saying 3: Seeking Within
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.
His disciples said to him, "Do you want us to fast? And how should we pray? Should we make donations? And what food should we avoid?"
Jesus said, "Don't lie, and don't do what you hate, because everything is revealed in the sight of heaven; for there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed, and nothing covered up that will stay secret." 6
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.

"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
