¹ Atebodd Soffar y Naamathiad:

¹Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

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

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

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

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

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

⁴For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

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

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

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

⁶And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

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

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

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

⁸It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

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

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

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

¹⁰If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

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

¹¹For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?

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

¹²For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

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

¹³If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

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

¹⁴If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

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

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

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

¹⁶Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:

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

¹⁷And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

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

¹⁸And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

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

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

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

²⁰But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
