Yn Salem draw bydd canu

(Y Dyrfa Ddedwydd)
Yn Salem draw bydd canu
  Gan dyrfa rif y dail,
Mewn hwylus Haleluia,
  Am haediant Adda'r ail;
Fe welir rhyw fyrddiynau
  Mor lān a'r eira gwyn,
Trwy rin y gwaed a redodd
  Ar ben Calfaria fryn.
David Davies 1763-1816

(The Happy Throng)
In yonder Salem there will be singing
  By a throng numerous as the leaves,
In a fervent Haleluia,
  About the merit of the second Adam;
Some myriads are to be seen
  As pure and the white snow,
Through the merit of the blood that ran
  On the summit of Calvary hill.
tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion
