¹To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for 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 have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago — whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known — such an one being caught away unto 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 have known such a man — whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, —

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.

⁴that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.

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

⁵Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,

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

⁶for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything 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 that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.

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.

⁸Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, 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 to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;` most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on 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.

¹⁰wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses — for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

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 have become a fool — boasting; ye — ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles — even if I am 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.

¹²The signs, indeed, of the 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 there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!

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.

¹⁴Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, 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 most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am 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?

¹⁶And be it [so], I — I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;

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

¹⁷any one of those whom I have sent unto you — by him did I take advantage of you?

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

¹⁸I entreated Titus, and did send with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? — did 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 to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,

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, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I — I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

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.

²¹lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.

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.
