Na bo'ed i neb yn ddiriaid
Gystuddio anifeiliaid;
Sef rhai wrth reol anian gre'
A wnaeth y Ne'n ddiniwaid.
Y pryfyn sāl ei sylwedd,
A sethrir heb drugaredd,
A deimla'r loes
mor flin ar lawr,
A phe b'ai gawr yn gorwedd.
Dim arfer llwon adgas,
Neu daeru'n groes a diras;
Arferu'n dirion ar y daith
Beunyddiol waith f'o'na addas.
Arferu pwyll, a sobrwydd,
Gwirionedd, gostyngeiddrwydd;
A daeno anghlod un ar led
Ei hun a red i w'radwydd.
Mae rheol glan dduwioldeb
Yn erbyn anniweirdeb;
Cefnogi pob rhyw duedd da,
Anwylder a dynoldeb.
Ynfydrwydd yw ymryson
Am ryw deganau gweinion;
Ac arfer ymadroddion drwg,
O achos cilwg calon.
Boddlonrwydd ac addfwynder,
Di wammal nefol dymmer;
Amynedd dan bob adfyd hir
Sy'n dangos gwir dduwiolder.
Y'nghanol pob anghenion
Mae Duw yn Rhoddwr tirion;
I'r euog, a'r newynog noeth,
Mae'n anfon doeth fendithion.
Er bod yn Dduw goruchel,
Fe ddyry ras i'r isel;
Rhydd ddawn a grym i ddwyn y Groes,
A diwedd einioes dawel.

Let no-one one be wickedly
Afflicting animals;
That is those by the rule of strong nature
That Heaven made innocent.
The insect ugly to notice,
Which is trampled without mercy,
Feels the anguish
so grievously on the ground,
As if a giant were lying.
No habit of detestable oaths,
Nor insisting contrarily and gracelessly;
Practice tenderly on the journey
The daily work of being proper.
Practice wisdom, and sobriety,
Truth, humility;
Whoever spreads dishonour of anyone abroad
Himself shall run to shame.
The rule of pure godliness is
Against disloyalty;
Backing every kind of good tendency,
Belovedness and humanity.
Folly is contention
For some weak trinkets;
And practicing evil utterances,
From the cause of ill-will of the heart.
Contentment and gentleness,
A stedfast, heavenly temper;
Patience under every long adversity
Are what show true godliness.
In the midst of all needs
God is a tender Giver;
To the guilty, and the starving naked,
He is sending wise blessings.
Although God is supreme,
He gives grace to the lowly;
A free gift and force to bear the Cross,
And a quiet end to a lifespan.
