Llyth'rennau dy gyfraith sy berffaith bob un Gosodaist hi'n reol dda ddoniol i ddyn; Pan ddel yn llaw'r Yspryd, yn danllyd a dwys, Daw'r enaid i ganfod ei bechod yn bwys. A'r enaid gwirofnus sydd barchus yn byw, Llawenydd ei galon yw deddf union Duw: Gorchymyn yr Arglwydd sy beunydd heb ball Yn llewyrch i'w lygaid i wiliad i wall. Ofn mabaidd sancteiddlan sydd lân a di-lid, A barnau Duw uniawn sydd gyfiawn i gyd; Maent yn fwy dymunol i'r duwiol a'r doeth, Na meddu rhifedi i'w cyfri'n aur coeth. Mae'r anwyl wirionedd i'r enaid heb gêl, Yn llawer melysach a mwynach na'r mêl: Mae buddiol rybuddion, cynghorion ynghyd, O'u cadw bydd mawrion wobrwyon ryw bryd. Ei gamwedd a'i fawr-wall, pwy ddeall yn dda? Heb swп t'rannau Sinai, pwy lefai glanha Fy meiau cuddiedig, tra pheryg' a ffol? Dwg f'enaid sydd danynt oddiwrthynt yn ol. Rhag rhyfyg annuwiol, echryslon a chas, Sy'm tynnu dy ddial, Duw attal dy was; A ffrwyth fy myfyrdod a'm traethodd bob tro, I ganmol mawr rhinwedd fy Mhrynwr mi rho.Grawn-Sypiau Canaan 1829 Tôn [11,11,11,11]: Geard (Thomas Walker) |
The letters of thy law are perfect every one, Thou didst set it as a good advantageous rule for man; When it becomes in the Spirit's hand, fiery and intense, The soul comes to perceive its sin as a weight. And the truly fearing soul that is living reverently, The joy of his heart is the upright statute of God: The command of the Lord is daily without fail Radiance to his eyes to watch out for error. The purely sacred filial fear is holy and without ire, And the judgments of upright God are all righteous; They are more desirable to the godly and the wise, Than possessing numbers to count as fine gold. The beloved truth is, to the soul without concealment, Much sweeter and dearer than the honey: It is beneficial warnings, counsels altogether, From keeping them shall be great rewards some time. Hits transgression and great error, who understands well? Without the sound of the thunders of Sinai, who would cry, "Cleanse My hidden faults, so perilous and foolish. Lead my soul that is under them back out from them"? From ungodly, ugly and detestable presumption, Which is attracting thy vengeance, God, stop thy servant; And the fruit of my meditation which told me every time, To extol the great merit of my Redeemer, I shall give.tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion |
