Saying 7: The Lion and the Human

Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion that's eaten by a human and then becomes human, but how awful for the human who's eaten by a lion, and the lion becomes human."

 tsisa hinegise, "adadoligita gesvase tlvdatsi na gesvase agisdita yvwi digvwalosv ale gila didolagase yvwihi, asenoudohiyu uyoi yvwi nasgihai na gesvase agisdita tlvdatsi digvwalosv, ale tlvdatsi didolagase yvwihi."

Saying 8: The Parable of the Fish

He said, "The human being is like a wise fisher who cast a net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of little fish. Among them the wise fisher found a fine large fish and cast all the little fish back down into the sea, easily choosing the large fish. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!"

 atsvyai hinegise, "yvwi gesvase ginitloyi agatahnai ashvsgisgi na wadinvdise utseli gayaludine amequohi nahnai ale asesihise nasgine kali usdi atsati vhnai. nasgidv nunadvnv atsvyai awadvdise osani equa atsatine ale wadinvdise nigadv usdi atsatine amequohi nahnai, ahide asuyesdanete equa atsatine. nanivquo na uhase galenidine advgi advguse!"

Saying 9: The Parable of the Sower

Jesus said, "Look, a sower went out, took a handful of seeds, and scattered them. Some fell on the roadside; the birds came and gathered them. Others fell on the rock; they didn't take root in the soil and ears of grain didn't rise toward heaven. Yet others fell on thorns; they choked the seeds and worms ate them. Finally, others fell on good soil; it produced fruit up toward heaven, some sixty times as much and some a hundred and twenty."

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."

 tsisa hinegise, "agayvlige siyvwi tla ayulvdose adadvdodi usdi galiquogi-iga-agayvli ayotline hanani vlenidohv vhnai aniyelvsgv, ale nasgidv alenidohose, yeno nigadv na gesvase igvyi gesvose oni, ale nasgidv didolagose saquu.

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."

The Gospel of Thomas in English and Udugi

The English translation is by Mark M. Mattison, who has kindly placed it into the public domain. The Udugi translation is by me, Donald C. Traxler, and I hereby give it into the public domain. 

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.

"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."

tsisa hinegise, "iyuno nihi datinidi kanohedase nihi didla, 'hagatu, ehi-ugvwiyuhi gesvase galvloi hawina,' gila tsisquadi galvloi vhnai gesvose uhna nihi udalulv. iyuno nasgidv kanohedase nihi didla, 'gesvase amequohi hawina,' gila atsati gesvose uhna nihi udalulv. aseno ehi-ugvwiyuhi gesvase nihi hawina ale nihi doyehi. hilayvi nihi unvtase nihvsa, gila nihi gesvose unvtita, ale nihi adolehohisdose na nihi gesvase ayotlidi hia alenidohv edoda vhnai. aseno iyuno nihi tla unvtase nihvsa, gila nihi alenidohase udasdayohisedi hawina, ale nihi gesvase hia udasdayohisedi.

GTh English - Hebrew 6-10

 

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

אמרו לו תלמידיו: "האם אתה רוצה שנצום? וכיצד נתפלל? האם נתרום? ומאיזה מזון עלינו להימנע?"

ישוע אמר: "אל תשקר ואל תעשה מה שאתה שונא, כי הכל מתגלה לעיני השמים, כי אין שום דבר נסתר שלא יתגלה, ושום דבר מכוסה שישאר בסוד." 6

Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion that's eaten by a human and then becomes human, but how awful for the human who's eaten by a lion, and the lion becomes human." 7

ישוע אמר, "אשרי האריה שנאכל על ידי אדם ואז הופך לאדם, אבל כמה נורא עבור האדם שנאכל על ידי אריה, והאריה הופך לאדם." 7

He said, "The human being is like a wise fisher who cast a net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of little fish. Among them the wise fisher found a fine large fish and cast all the little fish back down into the sea, easily choosing the large fish. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!" 8

הוא אמר: "האדם הוא כמו דייג חכם שהשליך רשת לים ומשך אותה מהים המלא בדגים קטנים. ביניהם מצא הדייג החכם דג גדול וטוב והשליך את כל הדגים הקטנים בחזרה לתוך הים. הים, בוחר בקלות את הדגים הגדולים. כל מי שיש לו אוזניים לשמוע צריך לשמוע!" 8

Jesus said, "Look, a sower went out, took a handful of seeds, and scattered them. Some fell on the roadside; the birds came and gathered them. Others fell on the rock; they didn't take root in the soil and ears of grain didn't rise toward heaven. Yet others fell on thorns; they choked the seeds and worms ate them. Finally, others fell on good soil; it produced fruit up toward heaven, some sixty times as much and some a hundred and twenty." 9

ישוע אמר: "ראה, זורע יצא, לקח חופן זרעים ופיזר אותם. חלקם נפלו בצדי הדרך; הציפורים באו ואספו אותם. אחרים נפלו על הסלע, הם לא השתרשו באדמה, אוזני תבואה לא עלו לשמים. אבל אחרים נפלו על קוצים; הם חנקו את הזרעים והתולעים אכלו אותם. לבסוף, אחרים נפלו על אדמה טובה; זה הוליד פירות עד השמים, חלקם פי שישים וחלקם מאה ו עשרים." 9

Jesus said, "I've cast fire on the world, and look, I'm watching over it until it blazes." 10

ישוע אמר, "הטלתי אש על העולם, ותראה, אני שומר עליו עד שהוא בוער." 10
