¹ Gwinwydden doreithiog oedd Israel, a'i ffrwyth yr un fath � hi. Fel yr amlhaodd ei ffrwyth, amlhaodd yntau allorau; fel y daeth ei dir yn well, gwnaeth yntau ei golofnau yn well.

¹`An empty vine [is] Israel, Fruit he maketh like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He hath multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made goodly standing-pillars.

² Aeth eu calon yn ffals, ac yn awr y maent yn euog. Dryllia ef eu hallorau, a difetha'u colofnau.

²Their heart hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth break down their altars, He doth destroy their standing-pillars.

³ Yn awr y maent yn dweud, "Nid oes inni frenin, am nad ydym yn ofni'r ARGLWYDD, a pha beth a wn�i brenin i ni?"

³For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared Jehovah, And the king — what doth he for us?

⁴ Llefaru geiriau y maent, a gwneud cyfamod � llwon ffals. Y mae barn yn codi fel chwyn gwenwynllyd yn rhychau'r maes.

⁴They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on the furrows of a field.

⁵ Y mae trigolion Samaria yn crynu o achos llo Beth-afen. Y mae ei bobl yn galaru amdano, a'i eilun-offeiriaid yn wylofain amdano, am i'w ogoniant ymadael oddi wrtho.

⁵For the calves of Beth-Aven fear do inhabitants of Samaria, Surely mourned on account of it hath its people, And its priests on account of it leap about, Because of its honour, for it hath removed from it,

⁶ Fe'i dygir ef i Asyria, yn anrheg i frenin mawr. Gwneir Effraim yn warth a chywilyddia Israel oherwydd ei eilun.

⁶Also it to Asshur is carried, a present to a warlike king, Shame doth Ephraim receive, And ashamed is Israel of its own counsel.

⁷ Y mae brenin Samaria yn gyffelyb i frigyn ar wyneb dyfroedd.

⁷Cut off is Samaria! Its king [is] as a chip on the face of the waters.

⁸ Distrywir uchelfeydd Beth-afen, pechod Israel; tyf drain a mieri ar eu hallorau; a dywedant wrth y mynyddoedd, "Cuddiwch ni", ac wrth y bryniau, "Syrthiwch arnom".

⁸And destroyed have been high places of Aven, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall upon us.

⁹ "Er dyddiau Gibea pechaist, O Israel; safasant yno mewn gwrthryfel. Onni ddaw rhyfel arnynt yn Gibea?

⁹From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Not overtake them in Gibeah doth battle, Because of sons of perverseness.

¹⁰ Dof i'w cosbi, a chasglu pobloedd yn eu herbyn, pan gaethiwir hwy am eu drygioni deublyg.

¹⁰When I desire, then I do bind them, And gathered against them have peoples, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.

¹¹ "Heffer wedi ei thorri i mewn yw Effraim; y mae'n hoff o ddyrnu; gosodaf iau ar ei gwar deg, a rhof Effraim mewn harnais; bydd Jwda yn aredig, a Jacob yn llyfnu iddo.

¹¹And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer — loving to thresh, And I — I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Plough doth Judah, harrow for him doth Jacob.

¹² Heuwch gyfiawnder, a byddwch yn medi ffyddlondeb; triniwch i chwi fraenar; y mae'n bryd ceisio'r ARGLWYDD, iddo ddod a glawio cyfiawnder arnoch.

¹²Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to you.

¹³ "Buoch yn aredig drygioni, yn medi anghyfiawnder, ac yn bwyta ffrwyth celwydd. "Am iti ymddiried yn dy ffordd, ac yn nifer dy ryfelwyr,

¹³Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy way, In the abundance of thy might.

¹⁴ fe gwyd terfysg ymysg dy bobl, a dinistrir dy holl amddiffynfeydd, fel y dinistriwyd Beth-arbel gan Salman yn nydd rhyfel, a dryllio'r fam gyda'i phlant.

¹⁴And rise doth a tumult among thy people, And all thy fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.

¹⁵ Felly y gwneir i chwi, Bethel, oherwydd eich drygioni mawr; gyda'r wawr torrir brenin Israel i lawr."

¹⁵Thus hath Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn cut off utterly is a king of Israel!
