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

¹I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

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

²For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

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

³Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?

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

⁴Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

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

⁵If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;

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

⁶Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.

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

⁷If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;

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

⁸Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

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

⁹If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

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

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

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

¹¹For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.

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

¹²For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

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

¹³If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

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

¹⁷Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

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

¹⁸(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

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

¹⁹If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

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

²⁰If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

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

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

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

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

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

²³For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

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

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

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

²⁵If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

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

²⁶If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

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

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

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

²⁸This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

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

²⁹If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

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

³⁰Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

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

³¹If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

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

³²The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.

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

³³If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

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

³⁴Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?

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.

³⁵Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

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

³⁶Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.

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

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

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

³⁸If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

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

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

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

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