¹ Clywch y gair hwn a lefaraf yn eich erbyn; galarnad yw, du375? Israel:

¹Hear this word, a lamentation, which I take up against you, O house of Israel.

² "Y mae'r wyryf Israel wedi syrthio, ac ni chyfyd eto; gadawyd hi ar lawr, heb neb i'w chodi."

²The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more arise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

³ Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD Dduw wrth du375? Israel: "Y ddinas a anfonodd fil a gaiff gant yn �l; a'r un a anfonodd gant a gaiff ddeg yn �l."

³For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, for the house of Israel.

⁴ Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD wrth du375? Israel: "Ceisiwch fi, a byddwch fyw;

⁴For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live.

⁵ peidiwch � cheisio Bethel, nac ymweld � Gilgal, na theithio i Beerseba; oherwydd yn wir fe gaethgludir Gilgal, ac ni bydd Bethel yn ddim."

⁵And seek not Bethel, neither go to Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.

⁶ Ceisiwch yr ARGLWYDD, a byddwch fyw � rhag iddo ruthro fel t�n drwy du375? Joseff a'i ddifa, heb neb i'w ddiffodd ym Methel �

⁶Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and there be none to quench [it] in Bethel.

⁷ chwi sy'n troi barn yn wermod, ac yn taflu cyfiawnder i'r llawr.

⁷Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,

⁸ Ef a wnaeth Pleiades ac Orion; ef sy'n troi tywyllwch yn fore, ac yn tywyllu'r dydd yn nos. Ef sy'n galw ar ddyfroedd y m�r, ac yn eu tywallt ar wyneb y tir; yr ARGLWYDD yw ei enw.

⁸[seek him] that made the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Jehovah is his name.

⁹ Gwna i ddinistr fflachio ar y cryf, a daw distryw ar y gaer.

⁹He causeth destruction to break forth suddenly upon the strong, and bringeth destruction upon the fortress.

¹⁰ Y maent yn cas�u'r un a wna farn yn y porth, ac yn ffieiddio'r sawl a lefara'n onest.

¹⁰They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

¹¹ Felly, am ichwi sathru'r tlawd, a chymryd oddi arno ei gyfran gwenith � er ichwi godi tai o gerrig nadd, ni chewch fyw ynddynt; er ichwi blannu gwinllannoedd hyfryd, ni chewch yfed eu gwin.

¹¹Forasmuch, therefore, as ye trample upon the poor, and take from him presents of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, and ye shall not drink the wine of them.

¹² Canys gwn mor niferus yw'ch troseddau ac mor fawr yw'ch pechodau � chwi, sy'n gorthrymu'r cyfiawn, yn derbyn llwgrwobr, ac yn troi ymaith y tlawd yn y porth.

¹²For I know how manifold are your transgressions and your sins mighty: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside [the right of] the needy in the gate.

¹³ Felly tawed y doeth ar y fath amser, canys amser drwg ydyw.

¹³Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in this time; for it is an evil time.

¹⁴ Ceisiwch ddaioni, ac nid drygioni, fel y byddwch fyw ac y bydd yr ARGLWYDD, Duw'r Lluoedd, gyda chwi, fel yr ydych yn honni ei fod.

¹⁴Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye say.

¹⁵ Casewch ddrygioni, carwch ddaioni, gofalwch am farn yn y porth; efallai y trugarha'r ARGLWYDD, Duw'r Lluoedd, wrth weddill Joseff.

¹⁵Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

¹⁶ Am hynny, fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw'r Lluoedd, yr Arglwydd: "Ym mhob sgw�r fe fydd wylo, ym mhob stryd fe ddywedant, 'Och! Och!' Galwant ar y llafurwr i alaru ac ar y galarwyr i gwynfan.

¹⁶Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all broadways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

¹⁷ Bydd wylofain ym mhob gwinllan, oherwydd mi af trwy dy ganol," medd yr ARGLWYDD.

¹⁷And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

¹⁸ Gwae y rhai sy'n dyheu am ddydd yr ARGLWYDD! Beth fydd dydd yr ARGLWYDD i chwi? Tywyllwch fydd, nid goleuni;

¹⁸Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! To what end is the day of Jehovah for you? It shall be darkness and not light:

¹⁹ fel pe bai dyn yn dianc rhag llew, ac arth yn ei gyfarfod; neu'n cyrraedd y tu375? ac yn rhoi ei law ar y pared, a neidr yn ei frathu.

¹⁹as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

²⁰ Onid tywyllwch fydd dydd yr ARGLWYDD, ac nid goleuni; caddug, heb lygedyn golau ynddo?

²⁰Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

²¹ "Yr wyf yn cas�u, yr wyf yn ffieiddio eich gwyliau; nid oes imi bleser yn eich cymanfaoedd.

²¹I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will not smell [a sweet odour] in your solemn assemblies.

²² Er ichwi aberthu imi boethoffrymau a bwydoffrymau, ni allaf eu derbyn; ac nid edrychaf ar eich heddoffrymau o'ch pasgedigion.

²²For if ye offer up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not accept [them]; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted beasts.

²³ Ewch � su373?n eich caneuon oddi wrthyf; ni wrandawaf ar gainc eich telynau.

²³Take away from me the noise of thy songs, and I will not hear the melody of thy lutes;

²⁴ Ond llifed barn fel dyfroedd a chyfiawnder fel afon gref.

²⁴but let judgment roll down as waters, and righteousness as an ever-flowing stream.

²⁵ "A ddaethoch ag aberthau ac offrymau i mi yn yr anialwch am ddeugain mlynedd, du375? Israel?

²⁵Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and oblations in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

²⁶ Fe gludwch ymaith eich delwau, a wnaethoch i chwi � eich duw Saccuth, a Caiwan eich seren-dduw �

²⁶Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye had made to yourselves;

²⁷ oherwydd caethgludaf chwi y tu hwnt i Ddamascus," medd yr ARGLWYDD; Duw'r Lluoedd yw ei enw.

²⁷and I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.
