Bod hollwybodol wyt O Dduw

1,2,(3).
(Hollwybodaeth Duw)
Bod hollwybodol wyt, O Dduw,
A chwiliawr calon
    pob dyn byw;
  Ti wyddost am ein cyflwr ni,
  Aneirif yw dy ddeall di.

Ti wyddost o'r dechreuad draw,
Yr hyn a fu, a'r hyn a ddaw,
  Pob meddwl, gair, a gweithred dyn,
  I ti sy'n hysbys bob yr un.

Pe gallai nghalon gredu'n iawn,
Dy santaidd ŵdd, a hyny'n llawn;
  Mi ofnwn beunydd tra b'awn byw,
  Rhag digio'r Hollwybodol Dduw.
Azariah Shadrach 1774-1844

(The Omniscience of God)
An omniscient being art thou, O God,
And a searcher of the heart
    of every living man;
  Thou knowest about our condition,
  Innumerable is thy understanding.

Thou knowest from the distant beginning,
That which was, and that which will come,
  Every thought, word, and action of man,
  To thee is evident every one.

If my heart could believe aright,
Thy holy presence, and this fully;
  I would fear daily while ever I live,
  To anger the Omniscient God.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
