¹I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but 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 know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even 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 know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; 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.

⁵On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in [my] weaknesses.

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

⁶For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or heareth from 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 by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should 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 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 hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for [my] power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, 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.

¹⁰Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, 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 foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though 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.

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

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

¹³For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except [it be] that I myself was not a burden 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, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, 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 most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

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 myself burden you; but, 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 take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you?

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

¹⁸I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage 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?

¹⁹Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, [are] 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 by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means [there should be] strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, 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.

²¹lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they 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.
