Gospel of Thomas

Martijn Linssen's translation has the character of an interlinear reference resource and is probably unsuitable for those acquainting themselves with Thomas for the first time ( or even second or third times). Once you are familiar with a good interpreted translation into English, (Martijn himself recommends Detlev Koepke's as being the most reliable and we think this video is by far the easiest way to make a first acquaintance with Thomas, despite its Christian bias), then the serious student will find Martijn's pure an literal transcription from Coptic to English an invaluable resource for pinpointing exactly what the author wrote and drawing their own conclusions as to the original concepts that Thomas is reporting and recording. 

The Gospel of Thomas would have been challenging even to native Coptic speakers when it was originally written, being poetic parables alluding to mystical states of consciousness (that often uses puns and clever wordplay that are largely lost in translation and time), so be kind to yourself and have no expectation of an immediate understanding of every Logion. As the document itself advises from the outset: Keep seeking till you find, prepare to be disturbed, and eventually a wonderous realisation will occur. 

Lacunae dictate the flow of the phrase that they exist in, as the words that are guessed to be in them must be in the exact form and order; they are relatively few in number yet hamper legibility. Greek loanwords are capitalised because they usually (unless Coptic has no equivalent at all) convey a higher metaphysical meaning, and to prevent confusion with words that start a sentence, all sentences are decapitalised (unless they start with a Greek loanword). To distinguish between singular and plural 2nd person pronouns, the archaic English thou (thee, thy, thine) is used for 2nd person singular alone.

Prologue: these ones are the words which are hiding; IS who is living has said them, and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote them

1. and he said: he who will fall to the Interpretation of these words will not take taste of the death

2. IS said there is no way to make him cease, viz. he who seeks; he seeks until he finds, and Whenever he should find, he will be disturbed: and if he should be disturbed, he will wonder - and he will make king upon the all

3. IS said: if they should say it to you, viz. they who go before you: 'lo behold, the kingdom in the heaven', well then the birds will make it to the heaven

earlier than you; if they should say it to you: 'she in the Sea', well then the fishes will make it earlier than you; Rather, the kingdom is of your inside, and

of your eye. Whenever you should know you, Then they will know you, and you will understand: yourselves are the children of the father who is living. if

it befalls However you will not know you, well then you are existing in a poverty and yourselves are the poverty

4. IS said he will not delay, viz. the human, old person in his days, to make cease a little young child, he in seven days, because of the Place of the life; and he will live: there are many first who will become last, and they come to be one single

5. IS said know him who is within the presence of thy outward face, and he who is hiding to thee will uncover outward to thee. there is not anyone Indeed hiding who will not reveal outward

6. they questioned him, viz. his Disciples, they said to him: does thou desire that we Fast, and what is the manner that we will pray, give Alms and Observe what within food? IS said: do not tell lies, and that which you hate do not do it: they are all uncovering outward within the outward presence of the heaven. there is not anyone Indeed hiding who will not reveal outward, and there is not anyone covering who will remain with lack of being uncovered

7. IS said a Fortunate is the lion, this one who the human will eat him; and the lion being becomes man - and he befouled, viz. the human, this one who the lion will eat him; and the lion will come to be human

8. And he said: the human is comparable to a fisher, become man of heart/mind; this one has cast his dragnet to the Sea. he drew her up from the Sea, she being full of fish; little within upper part of heart/mind. he fell to a great good fish: the fisher, become man of heart/mind, cast all the little fishes outw[ard], do[wnw]ard to the Sea. he chose the great fish: Exempt from toil. he whom there are ears within him to hear, let him hear

9. IS said: lo behold he came forth, he who throw sows; he filled his hand, he cast: Whilst some fell upon the path, the birds came, they gathered them, some another fell upon the Rock, and did not take root downward to the earth, and did not put forth heads of grain upward to the heaven. and some another fell upon the Acacias nilotica; they choked the seed, and the worm ate them. and some another fell upon the good earth, and he gave Fruit upward to the heaven, good. he came of sixty per arrow, and hundred twenty per arrow

10. IS said: I cast a fire upon the World, and lo behold, I guard him until he blazes

11. IS said: this heaven will Lead astray, and you above her will Lead astray; and they who are dead are not living, and they who are living will not die. the days you ate him who is dead, you made him into he who is living; Whenever you should come to be in the light, who will you make him into? in the days you been made one, you made the two; Whenever However you should come to be two, who will you make him into?

12. the Disciples said to IS: we know that thou will go from the hand of us; who is it who will become great upward upon us? IS said to them: the place you have come in there, you will go toward Jacob the Righteous: this one has the heaven with the earth come to be because of him

13. IS said to his Disciples: compare me, and say it to me: I resemble who? he said to him, viz. Simon Peter: thou resembles a Righteous Me[sse]nger; he said to him, viz. Matthew: thou resembles a human Philosopher, man of heart/mind; he said to him, viz. Thomas: oh writer, Wholly, my mouth will not receive it to say it: thou resembles who? IHS said: myself not thy writer: Since thou drank, thou became drunk, out of the Fountain which boils - this one, I myself, have measured her. and he took him, he Withdrew; he said to him three words. after that Thomas However came to his friends, they questioned him: what has IS said to thee? he said to them, viz. Thomas: if I should say to you one in the words he has said to me, you will carry stone, and you cast to me; and a fire comes out of the stones, and she* burns you

14. IS said to them: if you should Fast, you will beget to you a sin; and if you should pray, they will Condemn you; and if you should give Alms, you will make an Evil one of your Spirits. and if you should go inward to a certain earth, and you walk in the Lands: if they should Accept you, he whom they will place him at you - eat him; they who are sick of their heart/mind - Heal them. he who will go Indeed inward in your mouth will not defile you; Rather, he who is coming from your mouth, it is he who will defile you

15. IS said: Whenever you should behold him who they did not beget from the woman, bend you self upon your face, and you worship him: he who in there is your father

16. IS said: Perhaps they think, viz. the humans: I have come to cast a Peace upon the World, and they know not: I have come to cast some divisions upon the earth; a fire, a sword, a War. there are Indeed five who will come to be in a house; there are three who will come to be upon two, and two upon three: the father upon the child, and the child upon the father - and they will stand to their feet, in case they been made Single One

17. IS said: I will give to you him who no eye beheld, and him who no ear heard, and him who no hand touched, and who did not come up on the heart/mind of human

18. the Disciples said to IS: say it to us; our end, she will come to be in what manner? IS said did you uncover Indeed outward the Beginning, in order that you will seek after the end? in the place which the Beginning in-there, the end will come to be in-there. a Fortunate, he who will stand to his feet in the Beginning, and he will know the end; and he will not take taste of death

19. IS said: a Fortunate, he who has come to be at the beginning, prior to that he comes to be. if you should come to be Disciples to me, and you hear my words, these stones will Serve to you. you Indeed have in-there the five trees in Paradise; they move not, within summer, within winter, and not usually their leaves fall outward. he who will know them, will not take taste of death

20. the Disciples said to IS: say it to us; the kingdom of the heavens is comparable to what? he said to them: she is comparable to a grain of mustard, being few, More than all the seeds. Whenever However she should fall upon the earth which they do work on, habitually he puts forth outward a great branch; and he comes to be Protection of birds of the heaven

21. Mariham said to IS: thy Disci[ple]s resemble who? he said: they resemble some young children who are [vi]siting a field, which theirs not is; Whenever they should come, viz. the slaveowners of the field, they will say it: dismiss our field to us. they themselves make naked of their outward presence, to cause them to dismiss her to them; and they give their field to them. Therefore I say it: if he should understand, viz. the slaveowner in house: he is coming, viz. the man who steals; he will be awake prior to that he comes, and not permit him to excavate inward to his house of his kingdom, that he carries his House gear. yourselves However be awake at the beginning of the World; bind you upon your loins in a great Power, So that the Robbers will not fall to path to come toward you. Since there is Necessity, you look outward toward her: they will fall to her. let him come to be in your middle, viz. a human of Understanding; after that the Fruit split, he came in a hurry, his sickle in his hand; he covered him up. he who there are ears within him to hear, let him hear

22. IS beheld some little persons take milk. he said to his Disciples: these little persons who take milk are comparable to they who are going inward to the kingdom. they said to him: well then, we been made little persons, we will go inward to the kingdom? IHS said to them: Whenever you should make the two one, and if you should make the inside part in the manner of the outside part, and the outside part in the manner of the inside part, and the part ofthe heaven in the manner of the part of the ground, So that you will make the male with the woman to that one single, in order that the male will not make male, and the woman make woman. Whenever you should make some eyes to the place of an eye, and a hand to the place of their hands, and feet to the place of feet; an Image to the place of an Image: Then you will go inward [to the kingdom]

23. IS said: I will cho[os]e you, one out of thousand, and two out of ten thousand; and they will stand to their feet, in case they been made one single

24. his Disciples said: go on, show us the Place where thou are, Since Force causes us to seek after him. he said to them: he who there are ears within him, let him hear: there is light existing within the inside of a man of light, and he lights the entire World. in case he does not light, a darkness {it} is

25. IS said: love thy brother in the manner of thy Soul, Guard him in the manner of the pupil of thy eye

26. IS said: the speck which in the eye of thy brother, thou behold him; the beam However which in thy eye, thou behold him not. Whenever thou should cast the beam from thy eye, Then thou will behold outward to cast the speck from the eye of thy brother

27. in case you do not Fast to the World, you will not fall to the kingdom; in case you do not make the Sabbath {into} Father's Day(sAB'BAth), you will not behold the father

28. IS said: I stood to foot in the middle of the World, and I revealed outward to them in Flesh. I fell to them all drunk, I did not fall to anyone in them thirsting; and my Soul gave pain upon the children of the humans: some blind persons they are in their heart/mind, and they do not see: they have come to the World, they empty, they also seek to cause them come forth in the World, they empty. Nevertheless now they are being drunk; Whenever they should cast off their wine, Then they will Conceive afterwards

29. IS said if the Flesh has come to be because of Spirit, a wonder is {the flesh}; if Spirit However because of the Body, a wonder [of wonder] is {the Body}. Rather, I myself wonder this one: Ho[w] did [this] great reign of rich man dwell in this poverty?

33. IS said that which thou will hear in thy ear, in the other ear proclaim it; from upon your* roofs: not usually anyone Indeed ignites a lamp, and places him at {his} ear, Nor does he place him in a hiding place. Rather, habitually he places him upon the Lampstand, in order that every one who is going inward, and who is coming forth, will behold his light

34. IS said: if a blind person should go before a blind person, habitually they fall both together, downward to a pit

38. IS said: many occasions you Desired to hear these words; these ones, I say them to you - and you do not have other one to hear them from his hand. there are some days that will come to be, and you seek after me - you will not fall to me
