¹Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

¹ "Yn awr, dos i mewn i'th gaer, ti ferch gaerog; y mae gwarchae wedi ei osod yn ein herbyn; trewir barnwr Israel ar ei foch � ffon."

²But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

² Ond ti, Bethlehem Effrata, sy'n fechan i fod ymhlith llwythau Jwda, ohonot ti y daw allan i mi un i fod yn llywodraethwr yn Israel, a'i darddiad yn y gorffennol, mewn dyddiau gynt.

³Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.

³ Felly fe'u gedy hyd amser esgor yr un feichiog, ac yna fe ddychwel y rhai fydd yn weddill yn Israel at eu tylwyth.

⁴He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of Yahweh, in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God: and they will live, for then he will be great to the ends of the earth.

⁴ Fe saif ac arwain y praidd yn nerth yr ARGLWYDD, ac ym mawredd enw'r ARGLWYDD ei Dduw. A byddant yn ddiogel, oherwydd bydd ef yn fawr hyd derfynau'r ddaear;

⁵He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land, and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.

⁵ ac yna bydd heddwch. Pan ddaw Asyria i'n gwlad, a cherdded hyd ein tir, codwn yn ei erbyn saith o fugeiliaid ac wyth o arweinwyr pobl.

⁶They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.

⁶ A bugeiliant Asyria �'r cleddyf, a thir Nimrod �'r cleddyf noeth; fe'n gwaredant oddi wrth Asyria pan ddaw i'n gwlad a sarnu'n terfynau.

⁷The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from Yahweh, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.

⁷ A bydd gweddill Jacob yng nghanol pobloedd lawer, fel gwlith oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD, fel cawodydd ar laswellt, nad ydynt yn disgwyl wrth ddyn, nac yn aros am feibion dynion.

⁸The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

⁸ A bydd gweddill Jacob ymhlith y cenhedloedd, ac yng nghanol pobloedd lawer, fel llew ymysg anifeiliaid y goedwig, fel llew ifanc ymhlith diadelloedd defaid, sydd, wrth fynd heibio, yn mathru ac yn malurio, heb neb i waredu.

⁹Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.

⁹ Bydd dy law wedi ei chodi yn erbyn dy wrthwynebwyr, a thorrir ymaith dy holl elynion.

¹⁰“It will happen in that day,” says Yahweh, “That I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots.

¹⁰ "Yn y dydd hwnnw," medd yr ARGLWYDD, "distrywiaf dy feirch o'ch plith, a dinistriaf dy gerbydau.

¹¹I will cut off the cities of your land, and will tear down all your strongholds.

¹¹ Distrywiaf ddinasoedd dy wlad, a mathraf dy holl geyrydd.

¹²I will destroy witchcraft from your hand; and you shall have no soothsayers.

¹² Distrywiaf swyngyfaredd o'th afael, ac ni fydd gennyt ddewiniaid.

¹³I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of your midst; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.

¹³ Distrywiaf dy gerfddelwau a'th golofnau o'ch mysg, a mwyach nid addoli waith dy ddwylo dy hun.

¹⁴I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; and I will destroy your cities.

¹⁴ Diwreiddiaf y prennau Asera yn eich plith, a dinistriaf dy ddinasoedd.

¹⁵I will execute vengeance in anger, and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”

¹⁵ Mewn llid a digofaint fe ddialaf ar yr holl genhedloedd na fuont yn ufudd."
