¹The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

¹ Yr oracl a dderbyniodd Habacuc y proffwyd mewn gweledigaeth.

²O Jehovah, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save.

² Am ba hyd, ARGLWYDD, y gwaeddaf am gymorth, a thithau heb wrando, ac y llefaf arnat, "Trais!" a thithau heb waredu?

³Why dost thou show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up.

³ Pam y peri imi edrych ar ddrygioni, a gwneud imi weld trallod? Anrhaith a thrais sydd o'm blaen, cynnen a therfysg yn codi.

⁴Therefore the law is slacked, and justice doth never go forth; for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore justice goeth forth perverted.

⁴ Am hynny, �'r gyfraith yn ddi-rym, ac nid yw cyfiawnder byth yn llwyddo; yn wir y mae'r drygionus yn amgylchu'r cyfiawn, a daw cyfiawnder allan yn wyrgam.

⁵Behold ye among the nations, and look, and wonder marvellously; for I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.

⁵ "Edrychwch ymysg y cenhedloedd, a sylwch; rhyfeddwch, a byddwch wedi'ch syfrdanu; oherwydd yn eich dyddiau chwi yr wyf yn gwneud gwaith na choeliech, pe dywedid wrthych.

⁶For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.

⁶ Oherwydd wele, yr wyf yn codi'r Caldeaid, y genedl greulon a gwyllt, sy'n ymdaith ledled y ddaear i feddiannu cartrefi nad ydynt yn eiddo iddynt.

⁷They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.

⁷ Arswydus ac ofnadwy ydynt, yn dilyn eu rheolau a'u hawdurdod eu hunain.

⁸Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen press proudly on: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.

⁸ Y mae eu meirch yn gyflymach na'r llewpard, yn ddycnach na bleiddiaid yr hwyr, ac yn ysu am fynd. Daw ei farchogion o bell, yn ehedeg fel fwltur yn brysio at ysglyfaeth.

⁹They come all of them for violence; the set of their faces is forwards; and they gather captives as the sand.

⁹ D�nt i gyd i dreisio, a bydd dychryn o'u blaen; casglant gaethion rif y tywod;

¹⁰Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him; he derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.

¹⁰ gwawdiant frenhinoedd a dirmygant arweinwyr; dirmygant bob amddiffynfa, a gosod gwarchae i'w meddiannu.

¹¹Then shall he sweep by [as] a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty, [even] he whose might is his god.

¹¹ Yna rhuthrant heibio fel gwynt � dynion euog, a wnaeth dduw o'u nerth."

¹²Art not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction.

¹² Onid wyt ti erioed, O ARGLWYDD, fy Nuw sanctaidd na fyddi farw? O ARGLWYDD, ti a'u penododd i farn; O Graig, ti a'u dewisodd i ddwyn cerydd.

¹³Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;

¹³ Ti, sydd �'th lygaid yn rhy bur i edrych ar ddrwg, ac na elli oddef camwri, pam y goddefi bobl dwyllodrus, a bod yn ddistaw pan fydd y drygionus yn traflyncu un mwy cyfiawn nag ef ei hun?

¹⁴and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

¹⁴ Pam y gwnei bobl fel pysgod y m�r, fel ymlusgiaid heb neb i'w rheoli?

¹⁵He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad.

¹⁵ Coda hwy i fyny � bach, bob un ohonynt, a'u dal mewn rhwydau, a'u casglu � llusgrwydau; yna mae'n llawenhau ac yn gorfoleddu,

¹⁶Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his food plenteous.

¹⁶ yn cyflwyno aberth i'w rhwydau ac yn arogldarthu i'r llusgrwydau, am mai trwyddynt hwy y caiff fyw'n fras a bwyta'n foethus.

¹⁷Shall he therefore empty his net, and spare not to slay the nations continually?

¹⁷ A ydyw felly i wagio'r rhwydau'n ddiddiwedd, a lladd cenhedloedd yn ddidostur?
