Paham mae pechod o un rhyw Yn mysg gwaith Duw goruchaf? Drwy sanctaidd ddeddf i'w erbyn ddaeth, Paham y aeth i'r eithaf? Paham, er breintiau o bob rhyw, Gadawai Dduw'r Iuddewon I gwblhau'r gair am Grist, ac Oh! Croeshoelio'r Brenin tirion? Y genedl hon, p'am torwyd hi? A'n himpio ni, genedloedd? Gwrthodir ninau yr yn wedd Am yr un camwedd cyhoedd. Hyn oll fel gorfoleddai gras, Lle'r ydoedd teyrnas pechod; Ac fel yn rhagor yr amlhai, Ac y dysgleiriai'n hynod. Er maeddu balchder pawb o'r byd, A'u gyru'n nghyd i g'wilydd; Fel byddai'r etholedig hâd Dan rwymau i rad Waredydd. Ac fel eu hadeiledid hwy Yn dŷ Dduw drwy ffydd fywiol; Dyrchefir dwyfol ras y Ner, Pan ddamnier yr hunanol. O! ddyfnder golud mawr didrai Ei farnau a'i wybodaeth; O mor anolrheinadwy yw Doethinieb Duw a'i arfaeth! Pa ryw greadur all nesâu At gamrau'r Duw ofnadwy; Mae ei fwriadau yn mob man, A'i ffyrdd yn anchwiliadwy. Pwy wybu 'rioed o ddynolryw Feddyliau'r Duw goruchel? Pwy fu gynghorwr Duw ei hun, Cyn creu na dyn nac angel? O hon ef, a thrwyddo ef, Ac iddo Ef, (y gwaeddant;) Y mae pob peth; byth iddo b'o Yr enw a'r gogoniant.cyf. 1812 Dafydd Owen (Dewi Wyn o Eifion) 1784-1841 [Mesur: MS 8787] |
Why is there sin of any kind Amidst the work of God most high? Through the holy law which came against it, Why did it go to such an extreme? Why, despite privileges of every kind, Did God allow the Jews To fulfill the word about Christ, and Oh! To crucify the gentle King? This nation, why was it broken off? And we, gentiles, grafted on? We too are to be rejected in the same way For the same public transgression. All this as grace would be jubilant, Where there was the reign of sin; And thus abundantly it would exceed, And would shine notably. In order to beat the pride of everyone of the world, And drive them together to shame; Thus would the chosen seed be Under bonds to a gracious Deliverer. And thus they were rebuilt Into the house of God through living faith; The divine grace of the Chief is to be exalted, When the selfish are condemned. O the depth of the great, unebbing wealth Of his judgments and his knowledge; O how untraceable is The wisdom of God and his purpose! What kind of creature can approach The steps of the terrible God; His intentions in every place and His ways are unsearchable. Who of humankind ever knew The thoughts of the God most high? Who was the counsellor of God himself, Before the creation of man or angel? From him and through him, And unto Him, (they shout;) Is every thing; forever to him be The name and the glory.tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion |
