Ar faes ein daear, isel dir, Gwasgarwyd deuryw had yn wir; Lle'r hauwyd gwenith Crist yn gu Y taenwyd efrau'r gelyn du; Y ddau a dyfant yma y'nghyd, Nes delo barn ar deulu'r byd; Angylion gwynion, teg eu gwawr, I alw i mewn gynhauaf mawr! Gwirionedd dwys-arswydus yw, Bydd raid i bawb, - y meirw a'r byw, Mewn llawen wedd, neu brudd-der braw, Ymddangos yn y farn a ddaw; Ymholed pob rhyw enaid byw, Pa un a'i pur a'i ammhur yw? Cyn dyfod gwynion feibion gwawr I alw i mewn gynhauaf mawr. Mae'n bryd ystyried, gan dristâu, Am gyflwr enaid i barhau; Rhag bod yn un o'r chwerwon chwyn, Sy'n tyfu y'mhlith y gwenith gwyn; Diflànna pob rhyw gysgod gau, Mae byd o sylwedd yn neshau: Cyn hir daw meibion gwynion gwawr I alw i mewn gynhauaf mawr! Rhai sydd â hawl mewn cyfiawnhâd, Meddianant deyrnas bur eu Tad; Disgleiriant fel yr haulwen sy' Yn treiglo drwy'r ardaloedd fry: Ystyried dyn, sy briddyn brau, Fod oriau sobr yn nesâu; Cyn hir daw meibion gwỳnion gwawr I alw i mewn gynhauaf mawr!Corph y Gaingc 1810 Tôn [MH 8888]: Luther (Martin Luther 1482-1546) |
On the field of our earth, low land, Two kinds of seed truly are scattered; Where is sown the wheat of Christ dearly Spread are the weeds of the black enemy; The two shall grow here together, Until judgment comes upon the family of the world; White angels, fair their dawn, To call in a great harvest! Truth is intensely horrifying, All must, - the dead and the living, In a cheerful condition, or the sadness of terror, Appear in the coming judgment; Let every kind of living soul ask himself, Which one of the pair whether pure or impure he is? Before the bright sons of the dawn come To call in a great harvest. It is time to consider, with sadness, The enduring condition of a soul; Lest one be one of the bitter weeds, Which is growing amongst the white wheat Every kind of false shadow shall vanish, A world of substance in drawing near: Before long the bright sons of the dawn will come To call in a great harvest! Those with the claim in righteousness, Shall possess the pure kingdom of their Father; They shall shine like the sunshine which is Trundling through the regions above: Let man consider, who is a fragile lump of clay, That the serious hours are drawing near; Before long the bright sons of the dawn will come To call in a great harvest!tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
