¹Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And in Tekoa blow ye a trumpet, And over Beth-Haccerem lift ye up a flame, For evil hath been seen from the north, And great destruction.

¹ "Ffowch, blant Benjamin, o ganol Jerwsalem. Canwch utgorn yn Tecoa, a chodwch ffagl ar Beth-hacerem, oherwydd y mae drwg yn crynhoi o'r gogledd, a dinistr mawr.

²The comely and the delicate one I have cut off, The daughter of Zion.

² Yr wyf am ddinistrio merch Seion, y ferch deg, foethus.

³Unto her come do shepherds and their droves, They have stricken tents by her round about, They have fed each [in] his own station.

³ Fe ddaw bugeiliaid �'u praidd hyd ati, gosodant bebyll o'i chylch, a phorant bob un yn ei lain ei hun.

⁴Sanctify ye against her the battle, Rise, and we go up at noon. Wo to us, for turned hath the day, For stretched out are the shades of evening,

⁴ 'Paratowch ryfel sanctaidd yn ei herbyn; codwch, awn i fyny ganol dydd. Gwae ni! Ciliodd y dydd ac y mae cysgodau'r hwyr yn ymestyn.

⁵`Rise, and we go up by night, And we destroy her palaces.`

⁵ Codwch, awn i fyny liw nos a distrywiwn ei phalasau.'"

⁶For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Cut down her wood, And pour out against Jerusalem a mount, She [is] the city to be inspected, Wholly — she is oppression in her midst.

⁶ Canys fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: "Torrwch goed, a chodwch glawdd yn erbyn Jerwsalem; hon yw'r ddinas i'w chosbi, nid oes dim ond gorthrymder o'i mewn.

⁷As the digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she hath digged [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Before My face continually [are] sickness and smiting.

⁷ Fel y mae dyfroedd yn tarddu mewn ffynnon, felly y mae ei drygioni ynddi hi. Am drais ac ysbail y clywir ynddi; gwaeledd a chleisiau sydd yn wastad ger fy mron.

⁸Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from thee, Lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.

⁸ Cymer wers, O Jerwsalem, rhag i mi dy adael yn llwyr, rhag i mi dy wneud yn anrhaith, yn dir anghyfannedd."

⁹Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They surely glean, as a vine, the remnant of Israel, Put back thy hand, as a gatherer to the baskets.

⁹ Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: "Lloffa weddill Israel yn l�n, fel lloffa gwinwydd; fel casglwr grawnwin tyn dy law eilwaith dros y brigau."

¹⁰To whom do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Lo, their ear [is] uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Lo, a word of Jehovah hath been to them for a reproach, They delight not in it.

¹⁰ � phwy y llefaraf i'w rhybuddio, a pheri iddynt glywed? Wele, y mae eu clust yn gaeedig, ac ni allant ddal sylw. Wele, y mae gair yr ARGLWYDD yn ddirmyg iddynt; nid ydynt yn ei ddymuno.

¹¹And with the fury of Jehovah I have been filled, (I have been weary of containing,) To pour [it] on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, An elder with one full of days,

¹¹ Yr wyf finnau'n llawn o lid yr ARGLWYDD; yr wyf wedi blino ar ymatal. "Tywelltir ef ar y plant yn yr heol, ac ar gynulliadau'r ifainc hefyd; delir y gu373?r a'r wraig fel ei gilydd, yr hynafgwr a'r aeddfed mewn dyddiau.

¹²And their houses have been turned to others, Fields and wives together, For I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹² Trosglwyddir eu tai i eraill, a'u meysydd a'u gwragedd ynghyd; canys estynnaf fy llaw ar drigolion y wlad," medd yr ARGLWYDD.

¹³For from their least unto their greatest, Every one is gaining dishonest gain, And from prophet even unto priest, Every one is dealing falsely,

¹³ "o'r lleiaf hyd y mwyaf ohonynt, y mae pob un yn awchu am elw; o'r proffwyd i'r offeiriad, y maent bob un yn gweithredu'n ffals.

¹⁴And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people slightly, Saying, `Peace, peace!` and there is no peace.

¹⁴ Dim ond yn arwynebol y maent wedi iach�u briw fy mhobl, gan ddweud, 'Heddwch! Heddwch!' � ac nid oes heddwch.

¹⁵They were ashamed when they did abomination! Yea, they are not at all ashamed, Yea, blushing they have not known, Therefore they do fall among those falling, In the time I have inspected them, They stumble, said Jehovah.

¹⁵ A oes arnynt gywilydd pan wn�nt ffieidd-dra? Dim cywilydd o gwbl, ac ni allant wrido. Am hynny fe syrthiant gyda'r syrthiedig; yn nydd eu cosbi fe gwympant," medd yr ARGLWYDD.

¹⁶Thus said Jehovah: Stand ye by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where [is] this — the good way? and go ye in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, `We do not go.`

¹⁶ Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: "Safwch ar y ffyrdd; edrychwch, ac ymofyn am yr hen lwybrau. Ple bynnag y cewch ffordd dda, rhodiwch ynddi, ac fe gewch le i orffwys." Ond dywedasant, "Ni rodiwn ni ddim ynddi."

¹⁷And I have raised up for you watchmen, Attend ye to the voice of the trumpet. And they say, `We do not attend.`

¹⁷ "Gosodaf wylwyr drosoch," meddai, "gwrandewch ar sain yr utgorn." Ond dywedasant, "Ni wrandawn ni ddim."

¹⁸Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O company, That which [is] upon them.

¹⁸ "Am hynny clywch, genhedloedd, a gwybydd, gynulliad, beth a ddigwydd iddynt.

¹⁹Hear, O earth, lo, I am bringing evil on this people, The fruit of their devices, For to My words they gave no attention, And My law — they kick against it.

¹⁹ Clyw, wlad, rwyf am ddwyn drwg ar y bobl hyn, ffrwyth eu bwriadau hwy eu hunain. Ni wrandawsant ar fy ngeiriau, a gwrthodasant fy nghyfraith.

²⁰Why [is] this to Me? frankincense from Sheba cometh, And the sweet cane from a land afar off, Your burnt-offerings [are] not for acceptance, And your sacrifices have not been sweet to Me.

²⁰ Pam y cludir i mi thus o Sheba, a chorsen b�r o wlad bell? Nid oes pleser i mi yn eich poethoffrwm, na boddhad yn eich aberth."

²¹Therefore thus said Jehovah: Lo, I do give to this people stumbling blocks, And stumbled against them have fathers and sons together, The neighbour and his friend do perish.

²¹ Am hynny fe ddywed yr ARGLWYDD, "Rwyf am osod i'r bobl hyn feini tramgwydd a'u dwg i lawr; tadau a phlant ynghyd, cymydog a chyfaill, fe'u difethir."

²²Thus said Jehovah: Lo, a people hath come from a north country, And a great nation is stirred up from the sides of the earth.

²² Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: "Wele, y mae pobl yn dod o dir y gogledd; cenedl gref yn ymysgwyd o bellafoedd y ddaear.

²³Bow and javelin they take hold of, Fierce it [is], and they have no mercy, Their voice as a sea doth sound, And on horses they ride, set in array as a man of war, Against thee, O daughter of Zion.

²³ Gafaelant mewn bwa a gwaywffon, y maent yn greulon a didostur; y mae eu twrf fel y m�r yn rhuo, marchogant feirch, a dod yn rhengoedd, fel gwu375?r yn mynd i ryfela, yn dy erbyn di, ferch Seion."

²⁴`We have heard its sound, feeble have been our hands, Distress hath seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.

²⁴ Clywsom y newydd amdanynt, a llaesodd ein dwylo; daliwyd ni gan ddychryn, gwewyr fel gwraig yn esgor.

²⁵Go not forth to the field, And in the way walk not, For a sword hath the enemy, fear [is] round about.

²⁵ Paid � mynd allan i'r maes, na rhodio ar y ffordd, oherwydd y mae gan y gelyn gleddyf, ac y mae dychryn ar bob llaw.

²⁶O daughter of My people, Gird on sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes, The mourning of an only one make for thee, A lamentation most bitter, For suddenly come doth the spoiler against us.

²⁶ Merch fy mhobl, gwisga sachliain, ymdreigla yn y lludw; gwna alarnad fel am unig blentyn, galarnad chwerw; oherwydd yn ddisymwth y daw'r distrywiwr arnom.

²⁷A watch-tower I have given thee, Among My people a fortress, And thou knowest, and hast tried their way.

²⁷ "Gosodais di yn safonwr ac yn brofwr ymhlith fy mhobl, i wybod ac i brofi eu ffyrdd.

²⁸All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously — brass and iron, All of them are corrupters.

²⁸ Y maent i gyd yn gyndyn ac ystyfnig, yn byw yn enllibus. Pres a haearn ydynt; y maent i gyd yn peri distryw.

²⁹The bellows have been burnt, By fire hath the lead been consumed, In vain hath a refiner refined, And the wicked have not been drawn away.

²⁹ Y mae'r fegin yn chwythu'n gryf, a'r plwm wedi darfod gan y t�n; yn ofer y toddodd y toddydd, oherwydd ni symudwyd y drygioni.

³⁰`Silver rejected,` they have called to them, For Jehovah hath kicked against them!

³⁰ Arian gwrthodedig y gelwir hwy, oherwydd gwrthododd yr ARGLWYDD hwy."
