¹ "Yn awr, dos i mewn i'th gaer, ti ferch gaerog; y mae gwarchae wedi ei osod yn ein herbyn; trewir barnwr Israel ar ei foch � ffon."

¹Now gather thyself together, O daughter of troops, A siege he hath laid against us, With a rod they smite on the cheek the judge of Israel.

² Ond ti, Bethlehem Effrata, sy'n fechan i fod ymhlith llwythau Jwda, ohonot ti y daw allan i mi un i fod yn llywodraethwr yn Israel, a'i darddiad yn y gorffennol, mewn dyddiau gynt.

²And thou, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From thee to Me he cometh forth — to be ruler in Israel, And his comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.

³ Felly fe'u gedy hyd amser esgor yr un feichiog, ac yna fe ddychwel y rhai fydd yn weddill yn Israel at eu tylwyth.

³Therefore he doth give them out till the time She who bringeth forth hath brought forth, And the remnant of his brethren return to the sons of Israel.

⁴ Fe saif ac arwain y praidd yn nerth yr ARGLWYDD, ac ym mawredd enw'r ARGLWYDD ei Dduw. A byddant yn ddiogel, oherwydd bydd ef yn fawr hyd derfynau'r ddaear;

⁴And he hath stood and delighted in the strength of Jehovah, In the excellency of the name of Jehovah his God, And they have remained, For now he is great unto the ends of earth.

⁵ ac yna bydd heddwch. Pan ddaw Asyria i'n gwlad, a cherdded hyd ein tir, codwn yn ei erbyn saith o fugeiliaid ac wyth o arweinwyr pobl.

⁵And this [one] hath been peace, Asshur! when he doth come into our land, And when he doth tread in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.

⁶ A bugeiliant Asyria �'r cleddyf, a thir Nimrod �'r cleddyf noeth; fe'n gwaredant oddi wrth Asyria pan ddaw i'n gwlad a sarnu'n terfynau.

⁶And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And he hath delivered from Asshur when he doth come into our land, And when he treadeth in our borders.

⁷ A bydd gweddill Jacob yng nghanol pobloedd lawer, fel gwlith oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD, fel cawodydd ar laswellt, nad ydynt yn disgwyl wrth ddyn, nac yn aros am feibion dynion.

⁷And the remnant of Jacob hath been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from Jehovah — as showers on the herb, That waiteth not for man, nor stayeth for the sons of men.

⁸ A bydd gweddill Jacob ymhlith y cenhedloedd, ac yng nghanol pobloedd lawer, fel llew ymysg anifeiliaid y goedwig, fel llew ifanc ymhlith diadelloedd defaid, sydd, wrth fynd heibio, yn mathru ac yn malurio, heb neb i waredu.

⁸Yea, the remnant of Jacob hath been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it hath passed through, Hath both trodden down and hath torn, And there is no deliverer.

⁹ Bydd dy law wedi ei chodi yn erbyn dy wrthwynebwyr, a thorrir ymaith dy holl elynion.

⁹High is thy hand above thine adversaries, And all thine enemies are cut off.

¹⁰ "Yn y dydd hwnnw," medd yr ARGLWYDD, "distrywiaf dy feirch o'ch plith, a dinistriaf dy gerbydau.

¹⁰And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have cut off thy horses from thy midst, And I have destroyed thy chariots,

¹¹ Distrywiaf ddinasoedd dy wlad, a mathraf dy holl geyrydd.

¹¹And I have cut off the cities of thy land, And I have thrown down all thy fortresses,

¹² Distrywiaf swyngyfaredd o'th afael, ac ni fydd gennyt ddewiniaid.

¹²And have cut off sorcerers out of thy hand, And observers of clouds thou hast none.

¹³ Distrywiaf dy gerfddelwau a'th golofnau o'ch mysg, a mwyach nid addoli waith dy ddwylo dy hun.

¹³And I have cut off thy graven images, And thy standing-pillars out of thy midst, And thou dost not bow thyself any more To the work of thy hands.

¹⁴ Diwreiddiaf y prennau Asera yn eich plith, a dinistriaf dy ddinasoedd.

¹⁴And I have plucked up thy shrines out of thy midst, And I have destroyed thine enemies.

¹⁵ Mewn llid a digofaint fe ddialaf ar yr holl genhedloedd na fuont yn ufudd."

¹⁵And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not hearkened!
