¹It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

¹ Y mae'n rhaid imi ymffrostio. Ni wna ddim lles, ond af ymlaen i s�n am weledigaethau a datguddiadau a roddwyd i mi gan yr Arglwydd.

²I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

² Gwn am ddyn yng Nghrist a gipiwyd, bedair blynedd ar ddeg yn �l, i fyny i'r drydedd nef � ai yn y corff, ai allan o'r corff, ni wn; y mae Duw'n gwybod.

³And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

³ Gwn i'r dyn hwnnw gael ei gipio i fyny i Baradwys � ai yn y corff, ai allan o'r corff, ni wn; y mae Duw'n gwybod.

⁴How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

⁴ Ac fe glywodd draethu'r anhraethadwy, geiriau nad oes hawl gan neb dynol i'w llefaru.

⁵Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

⁵ Am hwnnw yr wyf yn ymffrostio; amdanaf fy hun nid ymffrostiaf, ar wah�n i'm gwendidau.

⁶For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

⁶ Ond os dewisaf ymffrostio, ni byddaf ff�l, oherwydd dweud y gwir y byddaf. Ond ymatal a wnaf, rhag i neb feddwl mwy ohonof na'r hyn y mae'n ei weld ynof neu'n ei glywed gennyf.

⁷And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

⁷ A rhag i mi ymddyrchafu o achos rhyfeddod y pethau a ddatguddiwyd imi, rhoddwyd draenen yn fy nghnawd, cennad oddi wrth Satan, i'm poeni, rhag imi ymddyrchafu.

⁸For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

⁸ Ynglu375?n � hyn deisyfais ar yr Arglwydd dair gwaith ar iddo'i symud oddi wrthyf.

⁹And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

⁹ Ond dywedodd wrthyf, "Digon i ti fy ngras i; mewn gwendid y daw fy nerth i'w anterth." Felly, yn llawen iawn fe ymffrostiaf fwyfwy yn fy ngwendidau, er mwyn i nerth Crist orffwys arnaf.

¹⁰Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁰ Am hynny, yr wyf yn ymhyfrydu, er mwyn Crist, mewn gwendid, sarhad, gofid, erledigaeth, a chyfyngder. Oherwydd pan wyf wan, yna rwyf gryf.

¹¹I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.

¹¹ Euthum yn ff�l, ond chwi a'm gyrrodd i hyn. Oherwydd dylaswn i gael fy nghanmol gennych chwi. Nid wyf fi yn �l mewn dim i'r archapostolion hyn, hyd yn oed os nad wyf fi'n ddim.

¹²Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

¹² Cyflawnwyd arwyddion apostol yn eich plith gyda dyfalbarhad cyson, mewn arwyddion a rhyfeddodau a gwyrthiau nerthol.

¹³For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

¹³ Ym mha beth y bu'n waeth arnoch chwi na'r eglwysi eraill, ond yn hyn, na f�m i yn faich arnoch chwi? Maddeuwch imi y camwedd hwn.

¹⁴Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

¹⁴ Dyma fi'n barod i ddod atoch y drydedd waith. Ac nid wyf am fod yn faich arnoch. Oherwydd chwi yr wyf yn eu ceisio, nid eich eiddo; nid y plant a ddylai ddarparu ar gyfer eu rhieni, ond y rhieni ar gyfer eu plant.

¹⁵And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

¹⁵ Fe wariaf fi fy eiddo yn llawen, ac fe'm gwariaf fy hunan i'r eithaf, dros eich eneidiau chwi. Os wyf fi'n eich caru chwi'n fwy, a wyf fi i gael fy ngharu'n llai?

¹⁶But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

¹⁶ Ond, a chaniat�u na f�m i'n dreth arnoch, eto honnir imi fod yn ddigon cyfrwys i'ch dal trwy ddichell.

¹⁷Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?

¹⁷ A fanteisiais arnoch trwy unrhyw un o'r rhai a anfonais atoch?

¹⁸I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?

¹⁸ Deisyfais ar Titus fynd atoch, ac anfonais ein brawd gydag ef. A fanteisiodd Titus arnoch? Onid ymddwyn yn yr un ysbryd a wnaethom ni, ac onid dilyn yr un llwybrau?

¹⁹Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

¹⁹ A ydych yn tybio drwy'r amser mai ein hamddiffyn ein hunain i chwi yr ydym? Gerbron Duw yr ydym yn llefaru, yng Nghrist, a'r cwbl er adeiladaeth i chwi, fy nghyfeillion annwyl.

²⁰For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

²⁰ Oherwydd y mae arnaf ofn na chaf chwi, pan ddof, fel y dymunwn ichwi fod, ac na'm ceir innau chwaith fel y dymunech chwi imi fod. Yr wyf yn ofni y bydd cynnen, eiddigedd, llidio, ymgiprys, difenwi, clebran, ymchwyddo, terfysgu.

²¹And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

²¹ Yr wyf yn ofni rhag i'm Duw, pan ddof drachefn, fy narostwng o'ch blaen, a rhag imi orfod galaru dros lawer a oedd wedi pechu gynt, a heb edifarhau am yr amhurdeb a'r anfoesoldeb rhywiol a'r anlladrwydd a wnaethant.
