Y Llais, ar fôr Tiberias gynt,
Dawelodd dwrf y don a'r gwynt,
Llefared yma heddiw'n glir,
A grym ei lef
a lanwo'r tir.
Y Llais addawodd esmwytháu
Gofidiau y blinderog rai,
A ddygo'n awr orffwystra Duw
I filoedd o eneidiau briw.
Y Llais ar fin y tywyll fedd
Orchfygodd angau, ddygodd hedd,
A goncro rym
pob pechod cas,
Gan ddwyn i luoedd ddydd o ras.
Y Llais, er chwerwed
fu y loes,
Lefodd "Gorffennwyd" ar y groes,
Gyhoeddo heddiw, drwom ni,
Dragwyddol goncwest Calfari.
Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953
Tonau [MH 8888]: gwelir: Y llais ar fin y tywyll fedd |
The Voice, on the sea of Tiberias of old,
Stilled the wave's tumult and the wind,
May it speak here today clearly,
With the force of its call
and fill the land.
The Voice that promised to relieve
The worries of the weary ones,
May it bring now the rest of God
To thousands of wounded souls.
The Voice on the verge of the dark grave
That overcame death, brought peace,
May it conquer the force
of every detestable sin,
While bringing to hosts the day of grace.
The Voice, although so bitter
was the anguish,
That cried, "It is finished" on the cross,
May it announce today, through us,
The eternal conquest of Calvary.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
