¹The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

¹ Yr oracl a dderbyniodd Habacuc y proffwyd mewn gweledigaeth.

²Jehovah, how long shall I cry and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee, Violence! and thou dost not save.

² Am ba hyd, ARGLWYDD, y gwaeddaf am gymorth, a thithau heb wrando, ac y llefaf arnat, "Trais!" a thithau heb waredu?

³Why dost thou cause me to see iniquity, and lookest thou upon grievance? For spoiling and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up.

³ Pam y peri imi edrych ar ddrygioni, a gwneud imi weld trallod? Anrhaith a thrais sydd o'm blaen, cynnen a therfysg yn codi.

⁴Therefore the law is powerless, and justice doth never go forth; for the wicked encompasseth the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth perverted.

⁴ Am hynny, �'r gyfraith yn ddi-rym, ac nid yw cyfiawnder byth yn llwyddo; yn wir y mae'r drygionus yn amgylchu'r cyfiawn, a daw cyfiawnder allan yn wyrgam.

⁵See ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for [I] work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be declared [to you].

⁵ "Edrychwch ymysg y cenhedloedd, a sylwch; rhyfeddwch, a byddwch wedi'ch syfrdanu; oherwydd yn eich dyddiau chwi yr wyf yn gwneud gwaith na choeliech, pe dywedid wrthych.

⁶For behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, which marcheth through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.

⁶ Oherwydd wele, yr wyf yn codi'r Caldeaid, y genedl greulon a gwyllt, sy'n ymdaith ledled y ddaear i feddiannu cartrefi nad ydynt yn eiddo iddynt.

⁷They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.

⁷ Arswydus ac ofnadwy ydynt, yn dilyn eu rheolau a'u hawdurdod eu hunain.

⁸And their horses are swifter than the leopards, and are more agile than the evening wolves; and their horsemen prance proudly, and their horsemen come from afar: they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.

⁸ Y mae eu meirch yn gyflymach na'r llewpard, yn ddycnach na bleiddiaid yr hwyr, ac yn ysu am fynd. Daw ei farchogion o bell, yn ehedeg fel fwltur yn brysio at ysglyfaeth.

⁹They come all of them for violence: the crowd of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand.

⁹ D�nt i gyd i dreisio, a bydd dychryn o'u blaen; casglant gaethion rif y tywod;

¹⁰Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a scorn unto him; he derideth every stronghold: for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.

¹⁰ gwawdiant frenhinoedd a dirmygant arweinwyr; dirmygant bob amddiffynfa, a gosod gwarchae i'w meddiannu.

¹¹Then will his mind change, and he will pass on, and become guilty: this his power is become his +god.

¹¹ Yna rhuthrant heibio fel gwynt � dynion euog, a wnaeth dduw o'u nerth."

¹²-- Art thou not from everlasting, Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast appointed him for correction.

¹² Onid wyt ti erioed, O ARGLWYDD, fy Nuw sanctaidd na fyddi farw? O ARGLWYDD, ti a'u penododd i farn; O Graig, ti a'u dewisodd i ddwyn cerydd.

¹³[Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on mischief: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] keepest silence when the wicked swalloweth up a [man] more righteous than he?

¹³ Ti, sydd �'th lygaid yn rhy bur i edrych ar ddrwg, ac na elli oddef camwri, pam y goddefi bobl dwyllodrus, a bod yn ddistaw pan fydd y drygionus yn traflyncu un mwy cyfiawn nag ef ei hun?

¹⁴And thou makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them.

¹⁴ Pam y gwnei bobl fel pysgod y m�r, fel ymlusgiaid heb neb i'w rheoli?

¹⁵He taketh up all of them with the hook, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them into his drag; therefore he rejoiceth and is glad:

¹⁵ Coda hwy i fyny � bach, bob un ohonynt, a'u dal mewn rhwydau, a'u casglu � llusgrwydau; yna mae'n llawenhau ac yn gorfoleddu,

¹⁶therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; for by them his portion is become fat, and his meat dainty.

¹⁶ yn cyflwyno aberth i'w rhwydau ac yn arogldarthu i'r llusgrwydau, am mai trwyddynt hwy y caiff fyw'n fras a bwyta'n foethus.

¹⁷Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?

¹⁷ A ydyw felly i wagio'r rhwydau'n ddiddiwedd, a lladd cenhedloedd yn ddidostur?
