¹Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

¹ Atebodd Soffar y Naamathiad:

²Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

² "Oni ddylid ateb y pentyrru hwn ar eiriau? A gyfiawnheir rhywun siaradus?

³Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

³ A wneir pawb yn fud gan dy faldorddi? A gei di watwar heb neb i'th geryddu?

⁴For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.

⁴ Dywedaist, 'Y mae f'athrawiaeth yn bur, a dilychwin wyf yn d'olwg.'

⁵But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,

⁵ O na lefarai Duw, ac agor ei wefusau i siarad � thi,

⁶And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

⁶ a hysbysu iti gyfrinachau doethineb, a bod dwy ochr i ddeall! Yna gwybydd fod Duw yn anghofio peth o'th gamwedd.

⁷Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

⁷ A elli di ddarganfod dirgelwch Duw, neu gyrraedd at gyflawnder yr Hollalluog?

⁸It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?

⁸ Y mae'n uwch na'r nefoedd. Beth a wnei di? Y mae'n is na Sheol. Beth a wyddost ti?

⁹The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.

⁹ Y mae ei fesur yn hwy na'r ddaear, ac yn ehangach na'r m�r.

¹⁰If he pass through, and shut up, And all unto judgment, then who can hinder him?

¹⁰ "Os daw ef heibio, i garcharu neu i alw llys barn, pwy a'i rhwystra?

¹¹For he knoweth false men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.

¹¹ Oherwydd y mae ef yn adnabod pobl dwyllodrus, a phan w�l ddrygioni, onid yw'n sylwi arno?

¹²But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born [as] a wild ass's colt.

¹² A ddaw'r dwl yn ddeallus � asyn gwyllt yn cael ei eni'n ddyn?

¹³If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;

¹³ "Os cyfeiri dy feddwl yn iawn, fe estynni dy ddwylo tuag ato;

¹⁴If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.

¹⁴ ac os oes drygioni ynot, bwrw ef ymhell oddi wrthyt, ac na thriged anghyfiawnder yn dy bebyll;

¹⁵Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

¹⁵ yna gelli godi dy olwg heb gywilydd, a byddi'n gadarn a di-ofn.

¹⁶For thou shalt forget thy misery; Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,

¹⁶ Fe anghofi orthrymder; fel du373?r a giliodd y cofi amdano.

¹⁷And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

¹⁷ Bydd gyrfa bywyd yn oleuach na chanol dydd, a'r gwyll fel boreddydd.

¹⁸And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search [about thee], and shalt take thy rest in safety.

¹⁸ Byddi'n hyderus am fod gobaith, ac wedi edrych o'th gwmpas, fe orweddi'n ddiogel.

¹⁹Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

¹⁹ Fe orffwysi heb neb i'th ddychryn; a bydd llawer yn ceisio dy ffafr.

²⁰But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

²⁰ Palla llygaid y drygionus, diflanna ymwared oddi wrthynt, a'u gobaith yw'r anadl olaf."
