O pwy a ddeall
faint ei fai?
Mae fel rhyw fôr o hyd heb drai:
Rhyfeddaf byth fod
modd i gael
Achubiaeth i bechadur gwael.
Rhyw ddyfnder yn fy nghodwm sydd
Yn eigion tywyll iawn bob dydd:
On meddyginiaeth imi ga'd,
Trwy ryfedd iachawdwriaeth rad.
Yr olwg ar fy nghyflwr briw,
Dwys destyn i alaru yw;
Ond er mor ddu; fy enaid cân,
Mae modd i olchi'r
brwnt yn lân.
Richard Jones ?1771-1833
[Mesur: MH 8888] gwelir: Pechadur wyf da gŵyr fy Nuw |
O who shall understand
the extent of his fault?
It is like some sea always without ebbing:
I wonder forever that
there is a means to get
Salvation for a poor sinner.
Some depth in my fall there is
As a very dark ocean every day:
But healing for me was got,
Through the wonder of free salvation.
The view over my bruised condition,
An intense theme of lamenting is;
But although so black;
my soul shall sing,
There is a means to wash
the filthy clean.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
