Daeth llawer hen bagan debygid, I wel'd ei aflendid yn flin, Ac hefyd i brofi pur ryfedd Effeithiau'r gwirionedd a'i rîn; Ac hefyd ehangfyd dihangfa, O'i garchar: - wel dyna liw dydd! Dymuno llwydd Bibl Gymdeithas, Pob teyrnas cyfaddas a fydd. Americ ab Affric a gyffry, Ac Asia a ddeffry'n ddiau, Ac Ewrop lawn glodwych a'i gwledydd, Boreuddydd y sydd yn nesau, Trwy lafur cyd-frodyr o Frydain, A' rhei'ny tan adain y nef, I lawer gwawr dyner ymdanodd, Tros foroedd cyrhaeddodd yn gref. |
Many an old pagan came, it is supposed, To see his uncleanness grievously, And also to experience the pure wonder Of the effects of the truth and its merit; And also the breadth of escape From his prison: - see here is the colour of day! To wish success to the Bible Society, Of every appropriate kingdom there shall be. African America shall stir, And Asia shall awaken doubtless, And excellent Europe and its lands, In the morning who are drawing nigh, Through the labour of fellow-brothers from Britain, With those under the wings of heaven, To many a tender dawn it spread, Over seas it arrived strongly. tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
