Iaith calon
yr ynfydion yw
Nad oes un Duw i'w barnu;
Hwy ymlygrasant yn ddi-gêl,
Heb ddyn a wnel ddaioni.
Gw'radwyddant gynghor y tylawd,
Gan wneuthur gwawd o hono,
Am fod yr Argwydd yn ei ras
Yn obaith addas iddo.
Pan ddelo o'r caethiwed du,
I fyny i'w gyfannedd,
Fe ymhyfryda Israel lân,
Ar felus gân orfoledd.
Thomas Williams (Eos Gwynfa / Eos y Mynydd) c.1769-1848Y Caniadydd 1841 [Mesur: MS 8787] |
The language
of the heart of the foolish is
That there is no God to judge them;
They had become corrupt openly,
Without a man who would do good.
They scorned the counsel of the poor,
While making a mockery of him,
Since the Lord in his grace is
A worthy hope to him.
When he come from the black captivity,
Up to his habitation,
Holy Israel will boast,
In a sweet song of jubilation.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion

[1] Sure, wicked fools
must needs suppose,
that God is nothing but a Name:
Corrupt and lewd their practice grows,
no breast is warm'd with holy flame.
[5] Ill men in vain with scorn expose
those methods which the good pursue:
[6] Since God a refuge is for those
whom his just eyes with favour view.
[7] Would he his saying pow'r employ,
to break his people's servile band;
Then shouts of universal joy
should loudly echo through the land.
