Pam 'rwy'n temtio Duw wy'n garu?
Duw a'm carodd cyn fy mod:
B'le y gwelir un creadur
Mwy gwrthnysig, îs y rhod!
Maddeu! maddeu!
Ar faddeuant byddaf byw.
Pan y gwelwyf un o'th bobl
Trwy demtasiwn pleser gau
Wedi colli'i afael arnat,
Ac yn awr yn llwfrhau;
Swn y daran,
Bâr im' ofni draw o bell.
'Fory yw'm diwrnod innau,
'Fory, (medd fy enaid gwan,)
Lawr i ddwylaw Saul y syrthiaf,
Oni ddeli di fi'r làn;
B'le mae'r gallu
Sydd yn arfer trugarhau!
William Williams 1717-91
[Mesur: 878747] |
Why am I tempting God whom I love?
God who loved me before I was:
Where is to be seen any creature
More stubborn, under the sky!
Forgive! forgive!
On forgiveness I will be living.
When I see one of thy people
Through the temptation of false pleasure
Having lost his grasp upon thee,
And now being disheartened;
The sound of the thunder,
Causes me to fear from far away.
Tomorrow is my day,
Tomorrow, (says my weak soul,)
Down into Saul's hands I fall,
Unless thou hold me up;
Where is the power
Which usually shows mercy!
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
