¹I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a virgin?

¹ "Gwneuthum gytundeb �'m llygaid i beidio � llygadu merch.

²For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?

² Beth yw fy nhynged gan Dduw oddi uchod, a'm cyfran gan yr Hollalluog o'r uchelder?

³Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?

³ Oni ddaw dinistr ar y twyllodrus, ac aflwydd i'r drygionus?

⁴Doth not he see my ways, And number all my steps?

⁴ Onid yw ef yn sylwi ar fy ffyrdd, ac yn cyfrif fy nghamau?

⁵If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit

⁵ A euthum ar �l oferedd, a phrysuro fy ngherddediad i dwyllo?

⁶(Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);

⁶ Pwyser fi mewn cloriannau cywir i Dduw gael gweld fy nghywirdeb.

⁷If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:

⁷ Os gwyrodd fy ngham oddi ar y ffordd, a'm calon yn dilyn fy llygaid, neu os glynodd unrhyw aflendid wrth fy nwylo,

⁸Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

⁸ yna caiff arall fwyta'r hyn a heuais, a diwreiddir yr hyn a blennais.

⁹If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;

⁹ "Os denwyd fy nghalon gan ddynes, ac os b�m yn llercian wrth ddrws fy nghymydog,

¹⁰Then let my wife grind unto another, And let others bow down upon her.

¹⁰ yna caiff fy ngwraig innau falu blawd i arall, a chaiff dieithryn orwedd gyda hi.

¹¹For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:

¹¹ Oherwydd byddai hynny'n anllad, ac yn drosedd i'r barnwyr;

¹²For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, And would root out all mine increase.

¹² byddai fel t�n yn difa'n llwyr, ac yn dinistrio fy holl gynnyrch.

¹³If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;

¹³ "Os diystyrais achos fy ngwas neu fy morwyn pan oedd ganddynt gu373?yn yn fy erbyn,

¹⁴What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

¹⁴ beth a wnaf pan gyfyd Duw? Beth a atebaf pan ddaw i'm cyhuddo?

¹⁵Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

¹⁵ Onid ef a'n gwnaeth ni'n dau yn y groth, a'n creu yn y bru?

¹⁶If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

¹⁶ "Os rhwystrais y tlawd rhag cael ei ddymuniad, neu siomi disgwyliad y weddw;

¹⁷Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof

¹⁷ os bwyteais fy mwyd ar fy mhen fy hun, a gwrthod ei rannu �'r amddifad �

¹⁸(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother's womb);

¹⁸ yn wir b�m fel tad yn ei fagu o'i ieuenctid, ac yn ei arwain o adeg ei eni �

¹⁹If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

¹⁹ os gwelais grwydryn heb ddillad, neu dlotyn heb wisg,

²⁰If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

²⁰ a'i lwynau heb fy mendithio am na chynheswyd ef gan gnu fy u373?yn;

²¹If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:

²¹ os codais fy llaw yn erbyn yr amddifad am fy mod yn gweld cefnogaeth imi yn y porth;

²²Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.

²² yna disgynned f'ysgwydd o'i lle, a thorrer fy mraich o'i chyswllt.

²³For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.

²³ Yn wir y mae ofn dinistr Duw arnaf, ac ni allaf wynebu ei fawredd.

²⁴If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence;

²⁴ "Os rhoddais fy hyder ar aur, a meddwl am ddiogelwch mewn aur coeth;

²⁵If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;

²⁵ os llawenychais am fod fy nghyfoeth yn fawr, a bod cymaint yn fy meddiant;

²⁶If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,

²⁶ os edrychais ar yr haul yn tywynnu, a'r lleuad tra parh�i'n ddisglair,

²⁷And my heart hath been secretly enticed, And my mouth hath kissed my hand:

²⁷ ac os cafodd fy nghalon ei hudo'n ddirgel, a chusanu fy llaw mewn gwrogaeth;

²⁸This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God that is above.

²⁸ byddai hyn hefyd yn drosedd i'm barnwr, oherwydd imi wadu Duw uchod.

²⁹If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;

²⁹ "A lawenychais am drychineb fy ngelyn, ac ymffrostio pan ddaeth drwg arno?

³⁰(Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);

³⁰ Ni adewais i'm tafod bechu trwy osod ei einioes dan felltith.

³¹If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?

³¹ Oni ddywedodd y dynion yn fy mhabell, 'Pwy sydd na ddigonwyd ganddo � bwyd?'?

³²(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);

³² Ni chafodd y dieithryn gysgu allan; agorais fy nrws i'r crwydryn.

³³If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,

³³ A guddiais fy nhroseddau fel y gwna eraill, trwy gadw fy nghamwedd yn fy mynwes,

³⁴Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door-

³⁴ am fy mod yn ofni'r dyrfa, a bod dirmyg cymdeithas yn fy nychryn, a minnau'n cadw'n dawel heb fynd allan?

³⁵Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); And [that I had] the indictment which mine adversary hath written!

³⁵ O na fyddai rhywun yn gwrando arnaf! Deuthum i'r terfyn; caiff yr Hollalluog yn awr fy ateb, a chaiff fy ngwrthwynebwr ysgrifennu'r wu375?s.

³⁶Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:

³⁶ Yn wir dygaf hi ar f'ysgwyddau, a'i gwisgo fel coron ar fy mhen.

³⁷I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.

³⁷ Rhof gyfrif iddo o'm camau, a nes�u ato fel tywysog.

³⁸If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;

³⁸ Os gwaeddodd fy nhir yn f'erbyn, a'i gwysi i gyd yn wylo;

³⁹If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

³⁹ os bwyteais ei gynnyrch heb dalu amdano, ac ennyn atgasedd ei berchenogion;

⁴⁰Let thistles grow instead of wheat, And cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

⁴⁰ yna tyfed mieri yn lle gwenith, a chwyn yn lle haidd." Dyma derfyn geiriau Job.
