¹It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

¹ Y mae'n rhaid imi ymffrostio. Ni wna ddim lles, ond af ymlaen i s�n am weledigaethau a datguddiadau a roddwyd i mi gan yr Arglwydd.

²I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven.

² Gwn am ddyn yng Nghrist a gipiwyd, bedair blynedd ar ddeg yn �l, i fyny i'r drydedd nef � ai yn y corff, ai allan o'r corff, ni wn; y mae Duw'n gwybod.

³I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),

³ Gwn i'r dyn hwnnw gael ei gipio i fyny i Baradwys � ai yn y corff, ai allan o'r corff, ni wn; y mae Duw'n gwybod.

⁴how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

⁴ Ac fe glywodd draethu'r anhraethadwy, geiriau nad oes hawl gan neb dynol i'w llefaru.

⁵On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

⁵ Am hwnnw yr wyf yn ymffrostio; amdanaf fy hun nid ymffrostiaf, ar wah�n i'm gwendidau.

⁶For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.

⁶ Ond os dewisaf ymffrostio, ni byddaf ff�l, oherwydd dweud y gwir y byddaf. Ond ymatal a wnaf, rhag i neb feddwl mwy ohonof na'r hyn y mae'n ei weld ynof neu'n ei glywed gennyf.

⁷By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

⁷ A rhag i mi ymddyrchafu o achos rhyfeddod y pethau a ddatguddiwyd imi, rhoddwyd draenen yn fy nghnawd, cennad oddi wrth Satan, i'm poeni, rhag imi ymddyrchafu.

⁸Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

⁸ Ynglu375?n � hyn deisyfais ar yr Arglwydd dair gwaith ar iddo'i symud oddi wrthyf.

⁹He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

⁹ Ond dywedodd wrthyf, "Digon i ti fy ngras i; mewn gwendid y daw fy nerth i'w anterth." Felly, yn llawen iawn fe ymffrostiaf fwyfwy yn fy ngwendidau, er mwyn i nerth Crist orffwys arnaf.

¹⁰Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁰ Am hynny, yr wyf yn ymhyfrydu, er mwyn Crist, mewn gwendid, sarhad, gofid, erledigaeth, a chyfyngder. Oherwydd pan wyf wan, yna rwyf gryf.

¹¹I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

¹¹ Euthum yn ff�l, ond chwi a'm gyrrodd i hyn. Oherwydd dylaswn i gael fy nghanmol gennych chwi. Nid wyf fi yn �l mewn dim i'r archapostolion hyn, hyd yn oed os nad wyf fi'n ddim.

¹²Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.

¹² Cyflawnwyd arwyddion apostol yn eich plith gyda dyfalbarhad cyson, mewn arwyddion a rhyfeddodau a gwyrthiau nerthol.

¹³For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

¹³ Ym mha beth y bu'n waeth arnoch chwi na'r eglwysi eraill, ond yn hyn, na f�m i yn faich arnoch chwi? Maddeuwch imi y camwedd hwn.

¹⁴Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

¹⁴ Dyma fi'n barod i ddod atoch y drydedd waith. Ac nid wyf am fod yn faich arnoch. Oherwydd chwi yr wyf yn eu ceisio, nid eich eiddo; nid y plant a ddylai ddarparu ar gyfer eu rhieni, ond y rhieni ar gyfer eu plant.

¹⁵I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

¹⁵ Fe wariaf fi fy eiddo yn llawen, ac fe'm gwariaf fy hunan i'r eithaf, dros eich eneidiau chwi. Os wyf fi'n eich caru chwi'n fwy, a wyf fi i gael fy ngharu'n llai?

¹⁶But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.

¹⁶ Ond, a chaniat�u na f�m i'n dreth arnoch, eto honnir imi fod yn ddigon cyfrwys i'ch dal trwy ddichell.

¹⁷Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?

¹⁷ A fanteisiais arnoch trwy unrhyw un o'r rhai a anfonais atoch?

¹⁸I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?

¹⁸ Deisyfais ar Titus fynd atoch, ac anfonais ein brawd gydag ef. A fanteisiodd Titus arnoch? Onid ymddwyn yn yr un ysbryd a wnaethom ni, ac onid dilyn yr un llwybrau?

¹⁹Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

¹⁹ A ydych yn tybio drwy'r amser mai ein hamddiffyn ein hunain i chwi yr ydym? Gerbron Duw yr ydym yn llefaru, yng Nghrist, a'r cwbl er adeiladaeth i chwi, fy nghyfeillion annwyl.

²⁰For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;

²⁰ Oherwydd y mae arnaf ofn na chaf chwi, pan ddof, fel y dymunwn ichwi fod, ac na'm ceir innau chwaith fel y dymunech chwi imi fod. Yr wyf yn ofni y bydd cynnen, eiddigedd, llidio, ymgiprys, difenwi, clebran, ymchwyddo, terfysgu.

²¹that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.

²¹ Yr wyf yn ofni rhag i'm Duw, pan ddof drachefn, fy narostwng o'ch blaen, a rhag imi orfod galaru dros lawer a oedd wedi pechu gynt, a heb edifarhau am yr amhurdeb a'r anfoesoldeb rhywiol a'r anlladrwydd a wnaethant.
