¹My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding:

¹ Fy mab, rho sylw i'm doethineb, a gwrando ar fy neall,

²that you may maintain discretion, that your lips may preserve knowledge.

² er mwyn iti ddal ar synnwyr ac i'th wefusau ddiogelu deall.

³For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

³ Y mae gwefusau'r wraig ddieithr yn diferu m�l, a'i geiriau yn llyfnach nag olew,

⁴But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

⁴ ond yn y diwedd y mae'n chwerwach na wermod, yn llymach na chleddyf daufiniog.

⁵Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

⁵ Prysura ei thraed at farwolaeth, ac arwain ei chamre i Sheol.

⁶She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.

⁶ Nid yw hi'n ystyried llwybr bywyd; y mae ei ffyrdd yn anwadal, a hithau'n ddi-hid.

⁷Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.

⁷ Ond yn awr, blant, gwrandewch arnaf, a pheidiwch � throi oddi wrth fy ymadroddion.

⁸Remove your way far from her. Don’t come near the door of her house,

⁸ Cadw draw oddi wrth ei ffordd; paid � mynd yn agos at ddrws ei thu375?;

⁹lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;

⁹ rhag iti roi dy enw da i eraill a'th urddas i estroniaid,

¹⁰lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.

¹⁰ a rhag i ddieithriaid ymborthi ar dy gyfoeth ac i'th lafur fynd i du375? estron;

¹¹You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

¹¹ rhag iti gael gofid pan ddaw dy ddiwedd, pan fydd dy gorff a'th gnawd yn darfod,

¹²and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

¹² a dweud, "Pam y bu imi gas�u disgyblaeth, ac anwybyddu cerydd?

¹³neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!

¹³ Nid oeddwn yn gwrando ar lais fy athrawon, nac yn rhoi sylw i'r rhai a'm dysgai.

¹⁴I have come to the brink of utter ruin, in the midst of the gathered assembly.”

¹⁴ Yr oeddwn ar fin bod yn gwbl ddrwg yng ngolwg y gynulleidfa gyfan."

¹⁵Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.

¹⁵ Yf ddu373?r o'th bydew dy hun, du373?r sy'n tarddu o'th ffynnon di.

¹⁶Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?

¹⁶ Paid � gadael i'th ffynhonnau orlifo i'r ffordd, na'th ffrydiau du373?r i'r stryd.

¹⁷Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.

¹⁷ Byddant i ti dy hun yn unig, ac nid i'r dieithriaid o'th gwmpas.

¹⁸Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

¹⁸ Bydded bendith ar dy ffynnon, a llawenha yng ngwraig dy ieuenctid,

¹⁹A loving doe and a graceful deer— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.

¹⁹ ewig hoffus, iyrches ddymunol; bydded i'w bronnau dy foddhau bob amser, a chymer bleser o'i chariad yn gyson.

²⁰For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?

²⁰ Fy mab, pam y ceisi bleser gyda gwraig ddieithr, a chofleidio estrones?

²¹For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yahweh. He examines all his paths.

²¹ Oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn gwylio ffyrdd pob un, ac yn chwilio ei holl lwybrau.

²²The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.

²² Delir y drygionus gan ei gamwedd ei hun, ac fe'i caethiwir yng nghadwynau ei bechod;

²³He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.

²³ bydd farw o ddiffyg disgyblaeth, ar goll oherwydd ei ffolineb mawr.
