Fe'm gwnaeth yn ddoeth
wel'd fy hun yn ddall
Yn fabi'r fall wenwynig;
Ac wedi rhoddi f'hun o'm bodd
I gyflwr o'dd ddamnedig.
Yn ddoeth i 'nabod Iesu Grist,
Yn ffrynd i drist eneidiau;
Ac iddo roddi waed yn llif,
Tros fy aneirif feiau.
Ces wel'd mai fe yw'm Brenin bra
Fy Mhrophwyd a'm Offeiriad;
Fy Nerth a Nrhysor mawr
a Nhwr,
F'Eiriolwr a fy Ngheidwad.
Fy Nghyfaill byth
a'm ffyddlon Frawd,
Mae f'enaid tlawd yn garu;
Sy'n nofio yn awr
o ganol ne'
Y man mae e'n teyrnasu.
Dysgodd fi deithio'r llwyfr bra,
Sy'n myn'd tua thrag'wyddoldeb;
Tros fryniau mawr ac anial dir
Ond dyna wir ddoethineb.
Fel niwl a thân bob nos a dydd,
Fy arwain bydd ei hunan;
Trwy'r anialwch mawr
dwg fi'n ei gol,
Mewn i'r ddymunol Ganaan.
Fe'm dysg, fe'm cyfarwydda trwy,
Bob rhwystrau wi'n gyfarod;
Rhag cyfeiliorni yma a thraw,
'Chai fyn'd o law fy Mhriod.
Fe'm gwna mor ddoeth
nes drysu'r fall,
Yn ei chyfrwysgall dichell;
Dadrys eu rhwydau o bob rhyw,
Can's Iesu yw fy nghyfaill.
Eneinia fi etto wel'd yn glir,
Rho im' fôr o wir ddoethineb;
I'm gywir deithio'r llwybr bra',
Sy'n mynd i drag'wyddoldeb.
William Williams 1717-91
Tôn [MS 8787]: Irish (<1811)
gwelir: Crist yn Sancteiddrwydd Pa ham y digalonnai mwy Crist yn Brynedigaeth O Iesu fy Ngwaredwr llawn |
(Christ the Wisdom of the Saints)
He made my wise
to see myself as blind
As a son to the poisonous devil;
And having put myself willingly
Into a condition that was condemned.
Wise to know Jesus Christ,
As friend to sad souls;
And that he gave blood as a stream,
For my innumerable faults.
I got to see that he is my good King
My Prophet and my Priest;
My Strength and my great Treasure
and my Tower,
My Advocate and my Saviour.
My Companion forever
and my faithful Brother,
My poor soul is loving;
Who is flying now
from the middle of heaven
The place where he is reigning.
He taught me to travel the good path,
That goes towards eternity;
Over great hills and a desert land
But there is true wisdom.
Like fog and fire every night and day,
Leading me he himself shall be;
Through the great wilderness
he will bring me to his bosom,
Into to desired Canaan.
He teaches me, he trains me through
All the obstructions I meet;
Lest I wander here and there,
I may not leave the hand of my Spouse.
He makes me so wise
that the devil is confounded,
In his crafty deception;
Their nets of every kind shall undo,
Since Jesus is my companion.
Anoint me again to see clearly,
Give me a sea of true wisdom;
For me truly to travel the good path,
That goes to eternity.
tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion
