Mi ddymunwn fod heb bechod,
Ac yn rhydd oddiwrth fy sorod;
Heb ddim llwgwr yn fy natur,
Nag i'm galw yn bechadur.
O! na fedrwn dawel esgyn,
Drwy'r ehangder mawr diderfyn,
I'r wlad lawn o ryfeddodau,
Goruwch ing ac ymgyrch angau.
Mi gawn yno wel'd y person,
A groeshoeliwyd rhwng y lladron;
A holl fodau
gwlad y sylwedd,
Yn cyd blygu wrth ei orsedd.
Beth pe cawn un olwg eglur,
Ar ogoniant ei ddwy natur,
Dull ei wedd
a'r danllyd goron,
Lle bu'r drain
a'u pigau llymion.
Mi ddymunwn wel'd y dyrfa,
Sydd, yn iach,
ar ben eu gyrfa,
Fu gynt yn yr anial enbyd,
Yma'n ymladd am eu bywyd.
Mi gawn wybod od oes graddau,
Yn eu sain - neu eu personau;
Ydyw Moses a'r proffwydi,
Paul ac ereill yn rhagori.
Gweled Babel dan y gawod,
A'i marsiandiaeth mawr yn syndod;
A phob traddodiadau dynol,
Wedi llwyr ddiflanu'n hollo!
Dyna'r pryd y gwelir Iesu,
Ar y ddaiar yn teyrnasu,
A'i frenhiniaeth yn ei blodau,
Gyda'r saint dros fil o flwyddau.
Pethau rhyfedd fydd i'w canfod
Wedi'r seliau gael eu datod,
Pan gyfodir y cyfiawnion,
Pabell Duw fydd gyda dynion.
Dacw'r seithfed fil yn dyfod,
Jubili'r gre'digaeth isod,
Mae'r orphwysfa mewn addewid,
Sabbath o dragwyddol ryddid.
Satan wedi cael ei rwymo,
Anghrist hefyd ei ddistrywio,
A'r frenhiniaeth i fab Dafydd,
Ar dŷ Jacob yn dragywydd.
Robert Williams (Robert ap Gwilym Ddu) 1766-1850Gardd Eifion 1841 [Mesur: MH 8888] |
I desire to be without sin,
And free from my dross;
Without any corruption in my nature,
Nor for me to be called a sinner.
O that I could quietly ascend,
Through the great, boundless breadth,
To the land full of wonders,
Above the pang and assault of death.
There I shall get to see the person,
Who was crucified between the thieves;
And all the beings
of the land of substance,
Bowing together at his throne.
What if I could get one clear look,
Upon the glory of his two natures,
The manner of his face
and the fiery crown,
Where the thorns were
with their sharp points.
I desire to see the throng,
Which are, safe,
at the end of their course,
Who were once in the perilous desert,
Here fighting for their life.
I would get to know if there are degrees,
In their sound - or their persons;
Whether Moses and the prophets,
Paul and others are superior.
To see Babel under the shower,
And its great commerce stunned;
And all human traditions,
Having completely vanished!
That is the time Jesus is to be seen,
On the earth reigning,
And his kingdom flourishing,
With the saints for a thousand years.
Wonderful things are to be found
After the seals getting undone,
When the righteous ones arise,
The tabernacle of God shall be with men.
Yonder the seventh thousand are coming,
The jubilee of the creation below,
The rest is in promise,
The sabbath of eternal freedom.
Satan having been bound,
Antichrist also destroyed,
And the kingdom for the Son of David,
Upon the house of Jacob in eternity.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
