¹Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

¹ "Gwna alarnad am dywysogion Israel,

²And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

² a dywed: 'Y fath lewes oedd dy fam ymhlith y llewod! Gorweddodd ymysg y llewod ifainc a magu ei chenawon.

³And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

³ Meithrinodd un o'i chenawon, a thyfodd yn llew ifanc; dysgodd larpio ysglyfaeth a bwyta pobl.

⁴The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

⁴ Clywodd y cenhedloedd amdano, ac fe'i daliwyd yn eu pwll; aethant ag ef � bachau i wlad yr Aifft.

⁵Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.

⁵ Pan welodd hi ei siomi a dinistrio ei gobaith, cymerodd un arall o'i chenawon a gwneud llew ifanc ohono.

⁶And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.

⁶ Yr oedd yn prowla ymhlith y llewod, a thyfodd yn llew ifanc; dysgodd larpio ysglyfaeth a bwyta pobl.

⁷And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.

⁷ Tynnodd i lawr eu ceyrydd, a dinistrio eu dinasoedd; daeth ofn ar y wlad a phopeth ynddi oherwydd su373?n ei ruo.

⁸Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.

⁸ Yna daeth y cenhedloedd yn ei erbyn o'r taleithiau o amgylch; taenasant eu rhwyd drosto, ac fe'i daliwyd yn eu pwll.

⁹And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

⁹ Tynasant ef i gawell � bachau, a mynd ag ef at frenin Babilon; rhoddwyd ef mewn carchar, fel na chlywyd ei su373?n mwyach ar fynyddoedd Israel.

¹⁰Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

¹⁰ "'Yr oedd dy fam fel gwinwydden mewn gwinllan, wedi ei phlannu yn ymyl dyfroedd; yr oedd yn ffrwythlon a brigog am fod digon o ddu373?r.

¹¹And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.

¹¹ Yr oedd ei changhennau yn gryfion, yn addas i deyrnwialen llywodraethwyr. Tyfodd yn uchel iawn, uwchlaw'r prysgwydd; yr oedd yn amlwg oherwydd ei huchder a nifer ei changau.

¹²But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

¹² Ond fe'i diwreiddiwyd mewn dicter, fe'i bwriwyd hi i'r llawr; deifiodd gwynt y dwyrain hi, dinoethwyd hi o'i ffrwythau; gwywodd ei changau cryfion, ac yswyd hwy gan d�n.

¹³And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

¹³ Yn awr, y mae wedi ei thrawsblannu mewn diffeithwch, mewn tir cras a sychedig.

¹⁴And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

¹⁴ Lledodd t�n o un o'i changhennau ac ysu ei blagur; ni adawyd arni yr un gangen gref, yn addas i deyrnwialen llywodraethwr.' Galarnad yw hon, ac y mae i'w defnyddio'n alarnad."
