¹Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.

¹ Gwylia dy droed pan fyddi'n mynd i du375? Dduw. Y mae'n well nes�u i wrando nag offrymu aberth ffyliaid, oherwydd nid ydynt hwy'n gwybod eu bod yn gwneud drwg.

²Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

² Paid � bod yn fyrbwyll �'th enau na bod ar frys o flaen Duw. Y mae Duw yn y nefoedd, ac yr wyt ti ar y ddaear, felly bydd yn fyr dy eiriau.

³For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.

³ Yn wir, fe ddaw breuddwyd pan yw gorch-wylion yn cynyddu, a siarad ff�l pan bentyrrir geiriau.

⁴When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.

⁴ Pan wnei adduned i Dduw, paid ag oedi ei chyflawni, oherwydd nid yw ef yn ymhyfrydu mewn ffyliaid. Cyflawna di'r hyn yr wyt wedi ei addunedu.

⁵It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.

⁵ Y mae'n well iti beidio ag addunedu na pheidio � chyflawni'r hyn yr wyt wedi ei addunedu.

⁶Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

⁶ Paid � gadael i'th enau dy arwain i bechu, a phaid � dweud o flaen y cennad, "Camgymeriad oedd hyn." Pam y dylai Duw gas�u dy ymadrodd, a difa gwaith dy ddwylo?

⁷For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words: but you must fear God.

⁷ Y mae llawer o freuddwydion ac amlder geiriau yn wagedd; ond ofna di Dduw.

⁸If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter: for one official is eyed by a higher one; and there are officials over them.

⁸ Os gweli'r tlawd yn cael ei orthrymu, a bod rhai yn atal barn a chyfiawnder mewn talaith, paid � synnu at yr hyn sy'n digwydd; oherwydd y mae un uwch yn gwylio pob swyddog, a rhai uwch eto drostynt ill dau.

⁹Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

⁹ Y mae cynnyrch y tir i bawb; y mae'r brenin yn cael y tir sydd wedi ei drin.

¹⁰He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

¹⁰ Ni ddigonir yr ariangar ag arian, na'r un sy'n caru cyfoeth ag elw. Y mae hyn hefyd yn wagedd.

¹¹When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?

¹¹ Pan yw cyfoeth yn cynyddu, y mae'r rhai sy'n byw arno yn amlhau; a pha fudd sydd i'w berchennog ond edrych arno?

¹²The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

¹² Y mae cwsg y gweithiwr yn felys, boed wedi bwyta ychydig neu lawer; ond y mae digonedd y cyfoethog yn ei rwystro rhag cysgu'n dawel.

¹³There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.

¹³ Gwelais ddrwg poenus dan yr haul: cyfoeth wedi ei gadw yn peri niwed i'w berchennog,

¹⁴Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.

¹⁴ a'r cyfoeth yn diflannu trwy anffawd flin, ac yntau, pan gaiff fab, heb ddim i'w roi iddo.

¹⁵As he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

¹⁵ Fel y daeth allan o groth ei fam, bydd yn dychwelyd yno yn noeth, yn union fel y daeth; ac ni chaiff ddim am ei lafur i'w gymryd gydag ef.

¹⁶This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

¹⁶ Y mae hyn hefyd yn ddrwg poenus: yn union fel y daeth, yr � pob un ymaith; a pha elw sydd iddo, ac yntau wedi llafurio am wynt?

¹⁷All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.

¹⁷ Y mae wedi treulio'i ddyddiau mewn tywyllwch a gofid, mewn dicter mawr a gwaeledd a llid.

¹⁸Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.

¹⁸ Dyma'r hyn a welais: y mae'n dda a gweddus i ddyn fwyta ac yfed, a chael mwynhad o'r holl lafur a gyflawna dan yr haul yn ystod dyddiau ei fywyd, a roddwyd iddo gan Dduw; dyna yw ei dynged.

¹⁹Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.

¹⁹ Yn wir y mae pob un y rhoddodd Duw iddo gyfoeth a meddiannau a'r gallu i'w mwynhau, i dderbyn ei dynged, a bod yn llawen yn ei lafur; rhodd Duw yw hyn.

²⁰For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life; because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.

²⁰ Yn wir ni fydd yn meddwl yn ormodol am ddyddiau ei fywyd, gan fod Duw yn ei gadw'n brysur � llawenydd yn ei galon.
