Troseddodd Adda pen pob dyn, Teyrnasodd angau ar bob un: Deddf sydd heb obaith, lle ni fedd I edifeirwch, nac i hedd. Y gras, yr hedd, a'r purdeb oll, Ro'ed im' yn Eden, aeth ar goll; Ni allaf ddirnad tra f'wyf byw, Y pellder syrthiais oddiwrth Dduw. O ras didrai! trueni dyn Mab Duw gymerodd arno'i hun; Ar ffrwyst o eitha'r nen y daeth, A marw o'i gariad trosom wnaeth. Os daw y gyfraith yn ei grym, A gofyn am berffeithrwydd im', 'Does geny' ond dangos angeu loes, A gwaed yn llifo ar y groes.efel. William Williams 1717-91 [Mesur: MH 8888] gwelir: Duw er mor eang yw dy waith Fy haeddiant mawr yn nghanol ne' Mae'r graig mae f'enaid arni'n byw Mae rhyw ddirgelwch llawer mwy Ni fedd anglion er eu bri O Arglwydd cofia'th angeu drud O holl weithredoedd nef yn un Un ynfyd wyf heb fedru dim Y gras yr hedd a'r purdeb oll |
Adam, the head of every man, transgressed, Death reigned over every one: The law is without hope, it has no place For repentance, nor for peace. The grace, the peace, and all the purity, Given to me in Eden, was lost; I cannot grasp while ever I am living, The distance I fell away from God. O unebbing grace! the wretchedness of man The Son of God took upon himself; Swiftly from the ends of heaven he came, And die for love of us he did. If the law comes in its force, And ask for perfection from me, I have nothing to show but the throes of death, And blood flowing on the cross.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
Adam our Father and our head, Transgressed, and justice doomed us dead; The fiery law speaks all despair: There's no reprieve nor pardon there. But, O unutterable grace! The Son of God takes Adam's place; Down to our world the Saviour flies, Stretches His arms, and bleeds, and dies. Justice was pleased to bruise the God, And pay its wrongs with heav'nly blood: What unknown racks and pangs He bore! Then rose; the law could ask no more.Isaac Watts 1674-1748
