Tan fy maich yr wyf yn griddfan,
Dysgwyl amser o ryddhau;
Dysgwyl i 'mhechodau dreulio,
Etto 'mhechod sy'n parhau;
Dysgwyl câf gasineb hollol,
Caria f'addunedau'r dydd,
Etto finnau yn y gadwyn,
Ac yn methu myn'd yn rhydd.
O na chlywn yr udgorn arian
Yn cyhoeddi'n eglur iawn,
Bellach i fy enaid llwythog
Heddwch a maddeuant llawn:
O na ddeuai nerth i waered,
Fel llifeiriant mawr ei rym,
Fel nad allai'm nwydau penaf
Mwyach ti wrthsefyll ddim.
Tòr y rhwydau sy gan Satan,
Llosg gadwyni yn y tân;
Dyred, argyhoeddiad nerthol,
Difa 'mhechod o dy flaen:
Delled peraidd heddwch yntau,
Nes gorchfyga melys chwant,
Nes bo 'mai trwy bob rhyw foddion
Felly yn diflanu i bant.

Dysgwyl amser i ryddhau;
Dysgwyl fy mhechodau dreulio,
Etto mhechod sy'n parhau;
Dysgwyl caf gasineb hollol,
Carief fy addunedau i'r dydd;

O na chlywn yr udgorn arian,
Ryw bryn yn rhoi bloedd i ma's,
Ac yn cyhoeddi i f'enaid llwythog,
Heddwch a maddeuol ras:
O na ddeuai nerth i wared,
Fel llifeiriant mawr ei rym,
Fel na allai'm nwydau pennaf,
Bellach i'w wrth-sefyll ddim.
Mi ro'wn fydoedd maith, pe meddwn,
Am gael gweled torri lawr
Bethau sy'n myn'd â meddwl
Mil o weithiau yn yr awr:
Trais a gorchest sydd ar fy yspryd,
Cryf yw'm gelyn, minnau'n wan,
Addfwyn Oen, yn fuan brysia,
Help fi o'r pydew hyn i'r lan.
William Williams 1717-911
Tonau [8787D]: gwelir: O na chlywn yr utgorn arian |
Under my burden I am groaning,
Expecting a time of freedom;
Expecting my sins to wear out,
Still my sins are enduring;
Expecting I shall get complete hatred,
My vows shall carry the day,
Still I am in the chain,
And failing to go free.
O that I would hear the silver trumpet
Announcing very clearly,
Henceforth for my burdened soul
Peace and full forgiveness:
O that strength would come down,
Like a stream of great force,
That I my chief lust may not
Any more withstand thee at all.
Break the snares that Satan has,
Burn chains in the fire;
Come, thou strong conviction,
Destroy my sin before thee:
Let sweet peace itself come,
Until overcoming sweet desire,
Until my fault by all means
Thus vanish away.

Under my burden I am groaning,
Expecting a time of freedom;
Expecting my sins to wear out,
Still my sins are enduring;
Expecting I shall get complete hatred
That my vows shall carry the day;
Still I am in the chain,
And failing to go free.
O that I would hear the silver trumpet,
Some time giving out a shout,
And announcing to my burdened soul,
Peace and forgiving grace:
O that strength would come to deliver,
Like a stream of great force,
That my chief lusts would
No longer withstand it at all.
I would give vast worlds, if I possessed them,
To get to see the breaking down
Of things that take my thought
A thousand times an hour:
Violence and defeat are upon my spirit,
Strong is my enemy, whereas I am weak,
Gentle Lamb, soon hurry,
Help me up from this pit.
tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion
