¹ Geiriau Lemuel brenin Massa, y rhai a ddysgodd ei fam iddo:

¹The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.

² Beth yw hyn, fy mab, mab fy nghroth? Beth yw hyn, mab fy addunedau?

²“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!

³ Paid � threulio dy nerth gyda merched, na'th fywyd gyda'r rhai sy'n dinistrio brenhinoedd.

³Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

⁴ Nid gweddus i frenhinoedd, O Lemuel, nid gweddus i frenhinoedd yfed gwin, ac nid gweddus i reolwyr flysio diod gadarn,

⁴It is not for kings, Lemuel; it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’

⁵ rhag iddynt yfed, ac anghofio'r hyn a ddeddfwyd, a gwyrdroi achos y rhai gorthrymedig i gyd.

⁵lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.

⁶ Rhowch ddiod gadarn i'r un sydd ar ddarfod, a gwin i'r chwerw ei ysbryd;

⁶Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:

⁷ c�nt hwy yfed ac anghofio'u tlodi, a pheidio � chofio'u gofid byth mwy.

⁷Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

⁸ Dadlau o blaid y mud, a thros achos yr holl rai diobaith.

⁸Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.

⁹ Siarad yn eglur, a rho farn gyfiawn; cefnoga achos yr anghenus a'r tlawd.

⁹Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
