Gospel of Thomas 86 in English and in Udugi ꭴꮪꭹ

 

Saying 86: Foxes and Birds

Jesus said, "[The foxes have dens] and the birds have nests, but the Son of Humanity has nowhere to lay his head and rest."

tsisa hinegise, "tsuladi uhase atalesvdine ale tsisquadi uhase unesgilvsvdine, aseno uwetsi yvwi-anehv vhnai tla uhase hananine atlodi utseli asgoline ale atsawesolvsdi."

ᏥᏌ ᎯᏁᎩᏎ, "ᏧᎳᏗ ᎤᎭᏎ ᎠᏔᎴᏒᏗᏁ ᎠᎴ ᏥᏍᏆᏗ ᎤᎭᏎ ᎤᏁᏍᎩᎸᏒᏗᏁ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏴᏫ-ᎠᏁᎲ ᎥᎿᎢ Ꮭ ᎤᎭᏎ ᎭᎾᏂᏁ ᎠᏠᏗ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎠᏍᎪᎵᏁ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏣᏪᏐᎸᏍᏗ."


Gospel of Thomas 85 in English and Udugi ꭴꮪꭹ

 

Saying 85: Adam Wasn't Worthy

Jesus said, "Adam came into being from a great power and great wealth, but he didn't become worthy of you. If he had been worthy, [he wouldn't have tasted] death."

tsisa hinegise, "adawi didolagise gesvi equa ulanigvgv nidvlenvda ale equa nuwehnavi nidvlenvda, aseno atsvyai tla didolagise tsugvwalodiya nihi vhnai. iyuno atsvyai gesvise tsugvwalodiya, atsvyai tla nusdv-agisdise ayohuhisdine."

ᏥᏌ ᎯᏁᎩᏎ, "ᎠᏓᏫ ᏗᏙᎳᎩᏎ ᎨᏒᎢ ᎡᏆ ᎤᎳᏂᎬᎬ ᏂᏛᎴᏅᏓ ᎠᎴ ᎡᏆ ᏄᏪᎿᎥᎢ ᏂᏛᎴᏅᏓ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎠᏨᏯᎢ Ꮭ ᏗᏙᎳᎩᏎ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗᏯ ᏂᎯ ᎥᎿᎢ. ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏨᏯᎢ ᎨᏒᎢᏎ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗᏯ, ᎠᏨᏯᎢ Ꮭ ᏄᏍᏛ-ᎠᎩᏍᏗᏎ ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗᏁ."

Note: Sayings 84 and 85 are connected by the linking phrase "came into being." There are hundreds of such catchwords and catch-phrases in GTh. They are usually considered to be a characteristic of the stage of orality. Nevertheless, DeConick considers Saying 85 to be an accretion.
