Bechadur! ai tewi'r wyt ti
Am sylfaen dy fywyd dy hun?
A'r engyl am Iawn drosom ni
Yn canu'n egnïol bob un:
Er cymaint mae'r
engyl di-fai
Yn synnu at angau mor ddrud,
Nid ydyw eu syndod fawr llai
At ddyn sydd yn aros yn fud!
O! deffro i ganmol yn Oen -
Pwy all fod mewn dyled mor fawr?
A chân nes anghofio dy boen;
Nac oeda, ond dechrau yn awr;
Mae moliant llu'r nef yn rhy wan
I ateb i gariad Duw'r Iôr:
Dod gymorth, a chân di dy ran,
Chwanega at allu y côr.
David Jones 1805-68
Tôn [8888D]: Pen Nebo (John Davies 1787-1855) |
Sinner, art thou silent
About the foundation of thy own life?
And the angels about the Atonement for us
Singing fervently every one:
Despite the extent that the
faultless angels
Wonder at a death so costly,
Their wonder is not much less
Towards a man who remains mute!
Oh, awake to praise the Lamb -
Who can be in a debt so great?
And sing until forgetting thy pain;
Nor delaying, but starting now;
The praise of heaven's host is too weak
To answer to the love of God the Lord:
May help come, and sing thou thy part,
Augment the strength of the choir!
tr. 2011 Richard B Gillion
