1 Ond ni fydd tywyllwch eto i'r sawl a fu mewn cyfyngder. Yn yr amser gynt bu cam�drin ar wlad Sabulon a gwlad Nafftali, ond ar �l hyn bydd yn anrhydeddu Galilea'r cenhedloedd, ar ffordd y m�r, dros yr Iorddonen.
1As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 Y bobl oedd yn rhodio mewn tywyllwch a welodd oleuni mawr; y rhai a fu'n byw mewn gwlad o gaddug dudew a gafodd lewyrch golau.
2The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.
3 Amlheaist orfoledd iddynt, chwanegaist lawenydd; llawenh�nt o'th flaen fel yn adeg y cynhaeaf, ac fel y byddant yn gorfoleddu wrth rannu'r ysbail.
3Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
4 Oherwydd drylliaist yr iau oedd yn faich iddynt, a'r croesfar oedd ar eu hysgwydd, a'r ffon oedd gan eu gyrrwr, fel yn nydd Midian.
4Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the day of Midian.
5 Pob esgid ar droed rhyfelwr mewn ysgarmes, a phob dilledyn wedi ei drybaeddu mewn gwaed, fe'u llosgir fel tanwydd.
5For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning — fuel of fire.
6 Canys bachgen a aned i ni, mab a roed i ni, a bydd yr awdurdod ar ei ysgwydd. Fe'i gelwir, "Cynghorwr rhyfeddol, Duw cadarn, Tad bythol, Tywysog heddychlon".
6For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
7 Ni bydd diwedd ar gynnydd ei lywodraeth, nac ar ei heddwch i orsedd Dafydd a'i frenhiniaeth, i'w sefydlu'n gadarn � barn a chyfiawnder, o hyn a hyd byth. Bydd s�l ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd yn gwneud hyn.
7To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
8 Anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD air yn erbyn Jacob, ac fe ddisgyn ar Israel.
8A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.
9 Gostyngir yr holl bobl � Effraim a thrigolion Samaria � sy'n dweud mewn balchder a thraha,
9And the people have known — all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
10 "Syrthiodd y priddfeini, ond fe adeiladwn ni � cherrig nadd; torrwyd y prennau sycamor, ond fe rown ni gedrwydd yn eu lle."
10`Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.`
11 Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn codi gwrthwynebwyr yn eu herbyn; y mae'n cyffroi eu gelynion.
11And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,
12 Y mae Syriaid o'r dwyrain a Philistiaid o'r gorllewin yn ysu Israel a'u safnau'n agored. Er hynny ni throdd ei lid ef, ac y mae'n dal i estyn allan ei law.
12Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
13 Ond ni throdd y bobl at yr un a'u trawodd, na cheisio ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd;
13And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.
14 am hynny tyr yr ARGLWYDD ymaith o Israel y pen a'r gynffon, y gangen balmwydd a'r frwynen mewn un dydd;
14And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed — the same day,
15 yr hynafgwr a'r anrhydeddus yw'r pen, y proffwyd sy'n dysgu celwydd yw'r gynffon.
15Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail.
16 Y rhai sy'n arwain y bobl hyn sy'n peri iddynt gyfeiliorni; a'r rhai a arweiniwyd sy'n cael eu drysu.
16And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
17 Am hynny nid arbed yr ARGLWYDD eu gwu375?r ifainc, ac ni thosturia wrth eu hamddifaid na'u gweddwon. Y mae pob un ohonynt yn annuwiol a drygionus, a phob genau yn traethu ynfydrwydd. Er hynny ni throdd ei lid ef, ac y mae'n dal i estyn allan ei law.
17Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is] profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
18 Oherwydd y mae drygioni yn llosgi fel t�n, yn ysu'r mieri a'r drain, yn cynnau yn nrysni'r coed, ac yn codi'n golofnau o fwg.
18For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
19 Gan ddigofaint ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd y mae'r wlad ar d�n; y mae'r bobl fel tanwydd, ac nid arbedant ei gilydd.
19In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity,
20 Cipia un o'r dde, ond fe newyna; bwyta'r llall o'r chwith, ond nis digonir. Bydd pob un yn bwyta cnawd ei blant �
20And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour.
21 Manasse Effraim, ac Effraim Manasse, ac ill dau yn erbyn Jwda. Er hynny ni throdd ei lid ef, ac y mae'n dal i estyn allan ei law.
21Manasseh — Ephraim, and Ephraim — Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!
