Ein Harglwydd cu Fu'n hau mewn dagrau blin Mewn lludded trwm, Ar ddu dymhestlog hîn; Ond cnwd a geiff Mewn gwiw orfoledd llawn, Fe'i molir byth Am rym ei ddwyfol ddawn. Fel blaenffrwyth aeth I'r ardal nefol bur; Toreithiog gnwd, A dardd o'i ddyfnaf gur, Cynhauaf llawn Cyn hir a geir ynghyd, I fynwes nef O bedwar cwr y byd.Samuel Roberts 1800-85 [Mesur: 10.10.10.10] |
Our dear Lord Sowed in grievous tears In heavy weariness, In black, temptestuous weather; But flesh he gets In full, worthy jubilation, He is to be praised forever For the force of his divine gift. Like firstfruits he went To the pure, heavenly region; An abundant crop, Issues from his deepest stroke, A full harvest Before long is to be got together, Into the bosom of heaven From the four corners of the world.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
