¹ Fy mab, cadw fy ngeiriau, a thrysora fy ngorchmynion.

¹My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.

² Cadw fy ngorchmynion, iti gael byw, a boed fy nghyfarwyddyd fel cannwyll dy lygad.

²Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

³ Rhwym hwy am dy fysedd, ysgrifenna hwy ar lech dy galon.

³Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

⁴ Dywed wrth ddoethineb, "Fy chwaer wyt ti", a chyfarch ddeall fel c�r,

⁴Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,

⁵ i'th gadw dy hun rhag y wraig ddieithr, a rhag yr estrones a'i geiriau gwenieithus.

⁵that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.

⁶ Yr oeddwn yn ffenestr fy nhu375?, yn edrych allan trwy'r dellt

⁶For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.

⁷ ac yn gwylio'r rhai ifainc gwirion; a gwelais yn eu plith un disynnwyr

⁷I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,

⁸ yn mynd heibio i gornel y stryd, ac yn troi i gyfeiriad ei thu375?

⁸passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,

⁹ yn y cyfnos, yn hwyr y dydd, pan oedd yn dechrau nosi a thywyllu.

⁹in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.

¹⁰ Daeth dynes i'w gyfarfod, wedi ei gwisgo fel putain, ac yn llawn ystryw �

¹⁰Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.

¹¹ un benchwiban a gwamal, nad yw byth yn aros gartref,

¹¹She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.

¹² weithiau ar y stryd, weithiau yn y sgw�r, yn llercian ym mhob cornel �

¹²Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.

¹³ y mae'n cydio ynddo ac yn ei gusanu, ac yn ddigon wynebgaled i ddweud wrtho,

¹³So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:

¹⁴ "Roedd yn rhaid imi offrymu heddoffrymau, ac rwyf newydd gyflawni f'addewid;

¹⁴“Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. This day I have paid my vows.

¹⁵ am hynny y deuthum allan i'th gyfarfod ac i chwilio amdanat, a dyma fi wedi dy gael.

¹⁵Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.

¹⁶ Taenais ar fy ngwely gwrlid o frethyn lliwgar yr Aifft;

¹⁶I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.

¹⁷ ac rwyf wedi persawru fy ngwely � myrr, aloes a sinamon.

¹⁸ Tyrd, gad inni ymgolli mewn cariad tan y bore, a chael mwynhad wrth garu.

¹⁸Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.

¹⁹ Oherwydd nid yw'r gu373?r gartref; fe aeth ar daith bell.

¹⁹For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.

²⁰ Cymerodd god o arian gydag ef, ac ni fydd yn �l nes y bydd y lleuad yn llawn."

²⁰He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”

²¹ Y mae'n ei ddenu �'i phersw�d, ac yn ei hudo �'i geiriau gwenieithus.

²¹With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.

²² Y mae yntau'n ei dilyn heb oedi, fel ych yn mynd i'r lladd-dy, fel carw yn neidio i'r rhwyd

²²He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.

²³ cyn i'r saeth ei drywanu i'r byw, fel aderyn yn hedeg yn syth i'r fagl heb wybod fod ei einioes mewn perygl.

²³Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.

²⁴ Yn awr, blant, gwrandewch arnaf, a rhowch sylw i'm geiriau.

²⁴Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

²⁵ Paid � gadael i'th galon dy ddenu i'w ffyrdd, a phaid � chrwydro i'w llwybrau;

²⁵Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,

²⁶ oherwydd y mae wedi taro llawer yn gelain, a lladdwyd nifer mawr ganddi.

²⁶for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.

²⁷ Ffordd i Sheol yw ei thu375?, yn arwain i lawr i neuaddau marwolaeth.

²⁷Her house is the way to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , going down to the rooms of death.
