31 Geiriau Lemwel frenin; y broffwydoliaeth a ddysgodd ei fam iddo. 2 Pa beth, fy mab? pa beth, mab fy nghroth? ie, pa beth, mab fy addunedau? 3 Na ddyro i wragedd dy nerth; na’th ffyrdd i’r hyn a ddifetha frenhinoedd. 4 Nid gweddaidd i frenhinoedd, O Lemwel, nid gweddaidd i frenhinoedd yfed gwin; nac i benaduriaid ddiod gadarn: 5 Rhag iddynt yfed, ac ebargofi y ddeddf; a newidio barn yr un o’r rhai gorthrymedig. 6 Rhoddwch ddiod gadarn i’r neb sydd ar ddarfod amdano; a gwin i’r rhai trwm eu calon. 7 Yfed efe, fel yr anghofio ei dlodi; ac na feddylio am ei flinfyd mwy. 8 Agor dy enau dros y mud, yn achos holl blant dinistr. 9 Agor dy enau, barn yn gyfiawn; a dadlau dros y tlawd a’r anghenus.
10 Pwy a fedr gael gwraig rinweddol? gwerthfawrocach yw hi na’r carbuncl. 11 Calon ei gŵr a ymddiried ynddi, fel na bydd arno eisiau anrhaith. 12 Hi a wna iddo les, ac nid drwg, holl ddyddiau ei bywyd. 13 Hi a gais wlân a llin, ac a’i gweithia â’i dwylo yn ewyllysgar. 14 Tebyg yw hi i long marsiandwr; hi a ddwg ei hymborth o bell. 15 Hi a gyfyd hefyd liw nos, ac a rydd fwyd i’w thylwyth, a’u dogn i’w llancesau. 16 Hi a feddwl am faes, ac a’i prŷn ef; â gwaith ei dwylo hi a blanna winllan. 17 Hi a wregysa ei llwynau â nerth, ac a gryfha ei breichiau. 18 Hi a wêl fod ei marsiandïaeth yn fuddiol; ni ddiffydd ei channwyll ar hyd y nos. 19 Hi a rydd ei llaw ar y werthyd, a’i llaw a ddeil y cogail. 20 Hi a egyr ei llaw i’r tlawd, ac a estyn ei dwylo i’r anghenus. 21 Nid ofna hi am ei thylwyth rhag yr eira; canys ei holl dŷ hi a ddilledir ag ysgarlad. 22 Hi a weithia iddi ei hun garpedau; ei gwisg yw sidan a phorffor. 23 Hynod yw ei gŵr hi yn y pyrth, pan eisteddo gyda henuriaid y wlad. 24 Hi a wna liain main, ac a’i gwerth, ac a rydd wregysau at y marsiandwr. 25 Nerth ac anrhydedd yw ei gwisg; ac yn yr amser a ddaw hi a chwardd. 26 Hi a egyr ei genau yn ddoeth: a chyfraith trugaredd sydd ar ei thafod hi. 27 Hi a graffa ar ffyrdd tylwyth ei thŷ: ac ni fwyty hi fara seguryd. 28 Ei phlant a godant, ac a’i galwant yn ddedwydd; ei gŵr hefyd, ac a’i canmol hi: 29 Llawer merch a weithiodd yn rymus; ond ti a ragoraist arnynt oll. 30 Siomedig yw ffafr, ac ofer yw tegwch; ond benyw yn ofni yr Arglwydd, hi a gaiff glod. 31 Rhoddwch iddi o ffrwyth ei dwylo; a chanmoled ei gweithredoedd hi yn y pyrth.

Sayings of King Lemuel
31 The sayings(A) of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
2 Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!(B)
3 Do not spend your strength[a] on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.(C)
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,(D)
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink(E) and forget what has been decreed,(F)
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine(G) for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink(H) and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 Speak(I) up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.(J)
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
10 [b]A wife of noble character(K) who can find?(L)
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband(M) has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.(N)
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.(O)
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.(P)
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders(Q) of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.(R)
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise(S) at the city gate.
