Hwn ydyw'r dydd yr adgyfododd Crist, Byth yn fuddugol ar bob gelyn trist; Er holl ddichellion uffern fawr a'r byd I'w luddias, - hollol ofer oll ynghyd. Er gwaith y milwyr, a'r seliedig faen, Ni allodd neb wrthsefyll dim o'i flaen, Na gwarchawd y Carcharor gwych ar g'oedd, Oblegyd mai Carcharor dwyfol oedd. Ni ddaethai yno'n wrthddrych caeth ei wedd, Ar feddwl aros byth dan ddrws y bedd; Ond brenin yn goresgyn ydoedd ef, Yspeiliodd angeu o'i lywodraeth gref. Wrth adgyfodi'n fore'r trydydd dydd, Maluriodd gedyrn byrth marwolaeth brudd; O'r bedd ac uffern gwnaeth ddangosfa fawr, A'u rhwysgfalch benaeth dan ei draed yn awr. A'i wysg yn waed mewn goruchafieath draw, Caethiwed dyfai'n gaethglud yn ei law; A chafodd gan ei lwyr foddhaol Dad, Orseddfaingc fry goruwch pob llid a brad. Rhoed y llywodraeth ar ei ysgwydd ef, Sef pob awdurdod byth drwy'r byd a'r nef; Er profi llawn gywirdeb ei holl waith, Rhoes heddyw i chwi i orphwys ar eich taith. Ei weision ffyddlawn sy'n cyffesu'n rhwydd, Ei ras a'i rin, wrth orphwys yn ei wydd; O! frodyr, cadwn yr ophwysfa hon, A roes Duw ini yn ei gysegr llon. Oddiwrth bob hunanorchwyl trown ein bryd, Poed ein hyfrydwch yn y gair i gyd: Dysgwyliwn ail ddyfodiad Crist yn nghyd, Pan wyla pobloedd Babel oll drwy'r byd, A Seion i'w gorphwysfa lān dilyth, Lle na ddaw lliw na llun o bechod byth.Dafydd Owen (Dewi Wyn o Eifion) 1784-1841 Blodau Arfon (Attodiad) 1869 [Mesur 10.10.10.10] |
This is the day when Christ arose, Forever victorious over every sad enemy; Despite all the deceptions of great hell and the world To hinder him, - all useless altogether. Despite the soldiers' work, and the sealed stone, None could withstand at all before him, Nor guard the brilliant Prisoner publicly Because a divine Prisoner he was. No object of a captive sort would come there, Thinking of staying forever shut in the grave; But a king overcoming was he, Who despoiled death of its strong government. On rising on the morning of the third day, He shattered the strong portals of sad mortality; Of the grave and hell he made a great exhibition, And their haughty, presumtuous chief under his feet now. With his clothing as blood in yonder conquest, He led captivity captive in his hand; And he received from his wholly satisfied Father, A throne above higher than all wrath and treachery. The government was put on his shoulder, That is every authority forever throughout the world and heaven; To prove the full truth of all his work, He gave peace to you to rest on your journey. His faithful witnesses confess freely, His grace and his merit, while resting in his presence; O brothers, keep this rest, That God gave to us in his cheerful sanctuary. From every self-imposed task let us turn our mind, Let our delight be all in the word: Let us watch for the second coming of Christ together, When the peoples of Babel all throughout the world shall weep, And Zion to to her holy, unfailing resting-place, Where neither colour nor image of sin shall ever come.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
