¹My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;

¹ Fy mab, os rhoddaist wystl i'th gymydog, neu fynd yn feichiau i ddieithryn,

²You are trapped by the words of your mouth. You are ensnared with the words of your mouth.

² a chael dy rwymo gan dy eiriau dy hun, a'th ddal gan eiriau dy enau,

³Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.

³ yna gweithreda fel hyn, fy mab, ac achub dy hun: gan dy fod yn llaw dy gymydog, dos ar frys ac ymbil �'th gymydog;

⁴Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.

⁴ paid � rhoi cwsg i'th lygaid na gorffwys i'th amrannau;

⁵Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

⁵ achub dy hun fel ewig o afael yr heliwr, neu aderyn o law yr adarwr.

⁶Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;

⁶ Ti ddiogyn, dos at y morgrugyn, a sylwa ar ei ffordd a bydd ddoeth.

⁷ Er nad oes ganddo arweinydd na rheolwr na llywodraethwr,

⁸provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.

⁸ y mae'n darparu ei gynhaliaeth yn yr haf, yn casglu ei fwyd amser cynhaeaf.

⁹How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

⁹ O ddiogyn, am ba hyd y byddi'n gorweddian? Pa bryd y codi o'th gwsg?

¹⁰A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

¹⁰ Ychydig gwsg, ychydig hepian, ychydig blethu dwylo i orffwys,

¹¹so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

¹¹ a daw tlodi arnat fel dieithryn creulon, ac angen fel gu373?r arfog.

¹²A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth;

¹² Un dieflig, un drwg, sy'n taenu geiriau dichellgar,

¹³who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers;

¹³ yn wincio �'i lygad, yn pwnio �'i droed, ac yn gwneud arwyddion �'i fysedd.

¹⁴in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.

¹⁴ Ei fwriad yw gwyrdroi, cynllunio drwg yn wastad, a chreu cynnen.

¹⁵Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.

¹⁵ Am hynny daw dinistr arno yn ddisymwth; fe'i dryllir yn sydyn heb fodd i'w arbed.

¹⁶There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

¹⁶ Chwe pheth sy'n gas gan yr ARGLWYDD, saith peth sy'n ffiaidd ganddo:

¹⁷haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood;

¹⁷ llygaid balch, tafod ffals, dwylo'n tywallt gwaed dieuog,

¹⁸a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

¹⁸ calon yn cynllunio oferedd, traed yn prysuro i wneud drwg,

¹⁹a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

¹⁹ gau dyst yn dweud celwydd, ac un sy'n codi cynnen rhwng perthnasau.

²⁰My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.

²⁰ Fy mab, cadw orchymyn dy dad; paid ag anwybyddu cyfarwyddyd dy fam;

²¹Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.

²¹ clyma hwy'n wastad yn dy galon, rhwym hwy am dy wddf.

²²When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.

²² Fe'th arweiniant ple bynnag yr ei, a gwylio drosot pan orffwysi, ac ymddiddan � thi pan gyfodi.

²³For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

²³ Oherwydd y mae gorchymyn yn llusern, a chyfarwyddyd yn oleuni, a cherydd disgyblaeth yn arwain i fywyd,

²⁴to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.

²⁴ ac yn dy gadw rhag gwraig cymydog a rhag gweniaith y ddynes estron.

²⁵Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

²⁵ Paid � chwennych ei phrydferthwch, a phaid � gadael i'w chiledrychiad dy ddal;

²⁶For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.

²⁶ oherwydd gellir cael putain am bris torth, ond y mae gwraig rhywun arall yn chwilio am fywyd brasach.

²⁷Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?

²⁷ A all dyn gofleidio t�n yn ei fynwes heb losgi ei ddillad?

²⁸Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?

²⁸ A all dyn gerdded ar farwor heb losgi ei draed?

²⁹So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.

²⁹ Felly y bydd yr un sy'n mynd at wraig ei gymydog; ni all unrhyw un gyffwrdd � hi heb gosb.

³⁰Men don’t despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:

³⁰ Oni ddirmygir lleidr pan fo'n dwyn i foddhau ei chwant, er ei fod yn newynog?

³¹but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.

³¹ Pan ddelir ef, rhaid iddo dalu'n �l seithwaith, a rhoi'r cyfan sydd ganddo.

³²He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.

³² Felly, y mae'r godinebwr yn un disynnwyr, ac yn ei ddifetha'i hun wrth wneud hynny;

³³He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away.

³³ caiff niwed ac amarch, ac ni ddil�ir ei warth.

³⁴For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won’t spare in the day of vengeance.

³⁴ Oherwydd y mae eiddigedd yn cynddeiriogi gu373?r priod, ac nid yw'n arbed pan ddaw cyfle i ddial;

³⁵He won’t regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.

³⁵ ni fyn dderbyn iawndal, ac nis bodlonir, er cymaint a roddi.
