Gospel of Thomas 49 in English and Udugi

 

Saying 49: Those Who Are Chosen (2)

Jesus said, "Blessed are those who are one – those who are chosen, because you'll find the kingdom. You've come from there and will return there."

tsisa hinegise, "adadoligita gesvase nasgidv na saquu gesvase--nasgidv na gesvase asuyesdita, igvnisisgi nihi awadvdose ugvwiyuhiyine. nihi nvlise uhna-nidvlenvda ale nihi hulutsose uhna."

Eighty-somethings

 

Do eighty-somethings

really do these things?

Why not?

We have the same organs,

the very same chakras,

the same desires.

Our souls are enflamed

by the sacred fires.

Saying 48: Unity (1)

Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in a single house, they'll say to the mountain, 'Go away,' and it will."

Gospel of Thomas 47 in English and Udugi

 

Saying 47: The Parables of Divided Loyalties,
New Wine in Old Wineskins, and New Patch on Old Cloth

Jesus said, "It's not possible for anyone to mount two horses or stretch two bows, and it's not possible for a servant to follow two leaders, because they'll respect one and despise the other.

"No one drinks old wine and immediately wants to drink new wine. And new wine isn't put in old wineskins, because they'd burst. Nor is old wine put in new wineskins, because it'd spoil.

"A new patch of cloth isn't sewn onto an old coat, because it'd tear apart."

tsisa hinegise, "tla yeliquase agilohisdi tali soquilidine ale didanesdodi tali galitsadidine, ale tla yeliquase na atsinatlai iyadadvnedase tali nugvwiyusadegidine, igvnisisgi nasgidv gohiyudose saquune ale hagatose-eladi soine.
