(Adferiad heddwch; neu Duw o blaid ei eglwys.) Yn Judah ac Israël dir Adwaenir ein Duw cyfion: Ei babell ef yn Salem sydd, A'i breswyl fydd yn Sïon. Fe ddrylliodd yno'r bŵa a'r saeth, A'r frwydr a wnaeth yn ddarnau; A thorodd ef yn chwilriw mân, Bob tarian a phob cleddau. Bu'r trawsion fel mynyddau gynt, Mewn yspail helynt uchel: Ond uwch a chryfach wyt na hwy, Nid rhaid byth mwy mo'u gochel. O'r nefoedd peraist glywed barn, Duw cadarn wyt trwy'r hollfyd: Y ddaear ofnodd, a'i holl lu Ro'ist i ostegu enyd. Diau cynddaredd dyn a'th fawl, Yn hollawl yn nydd trallod: Cysgod etifeddion ffydd, Ac uniawn fydd dy ddyrnod. Eich rhodd i'r Arglwydd Dduw a ddêwch, A llawn gwblhêwch eich gobrwy: Pawb sydd o amgylch Sïon deg, Rhowch anrheg i'r Ofnadwy. Ef a ostyngodd uchel fryd, Ac ysbryd gwyr rhyfelgar: Fe a ỳr ofn yn nghanol hedd, Ar holl freninedd daear.Edmwnd Prys 1544-1623
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
(The restoration of peace; or God on the church's side.) In the land of Judah and Israel Our righteous God is to be recognised: His tent is in Salem, And his residence will be in Zion. He shattered there the bow and the arrow, And the battle he made into pieces; And he turned into small fragments, Every shield and every sword. The severe ones were like ancient mountains, In the plunder of a high matter: But higher and stronger art thou than they, With never any need to avoid them. From the heavens thou didst cause judgment to be heard, A firm God art thou throughout the whole world: The earth feared, and all its host Thou hast made still for a while. Doubtless the fury of man shall praise thee, Wholly in the day of trouble: Thou shalt shadow the heirs of faith, And upright shall be thy day. Your gift to the Lord God bring ye, And fully fulfil your payment: All who are around fair Zion, Give a present to the Fearsome one. He has humbled a haughty mind, And a spirit of belligerent men: He shall drive fear in the midst of peace, Upon all kings of earth.tr. 2014,15 Richard B Gillion |
1 In Judah the Almighty's known, (Almighty there by wonders shown,) His Name in Jacob does excel; 2 His sanctuary in Salem stands; the Majesty that heav'n commands In Zion condescends to dwell. 3 He brake the bow and arrows there, the shield, the tempered sword, and spear, There slain the mighty army lay; 4 Whence Zion's fame through earth is spread, of greater glory, greater dread, Than hills where robbers lodge their prey. 5 Their valiant chiefs, who came for spoil, themselves met there a shameful foil; Securely down to sleep, they lay: But waked no more; their stoutest band Ne'er lifted one resisting hand 'Gainst his, that did their legions slay. 8 Pronounced from heav'n, earth heard its doom; grew hushed with fear, when thou did'st come, 9 The meek with justice to restore: 10 The wrath of man shall yield thee praise; its last attempts but serve to raise The triumphs of Almighty pow'r. 1l Vow to the Lord, ye nations; bring vowed presents to th' eternal King; Thus to his Name due rev'rence pay: 12 Who proudest potentates can quell; to earthly kings more terrible, Than to their trembling subjects they.N Tate & N Brady A New Version of the Psalms of David in Metre 1696 |
