10 Erchwch gan yr Arglwydd law mewn pryd diweddar law; a’r Arglwydd a bair ddisglair gymylau, ac a ddyd iddynt gawod o law, i bob un laswellt yn y maes. Canys y delwau a ddywedasant wagedd, a’r dewiniaid a welsant gelwydd, ac a ddywedasant freuddwydion ofer; rhoddasant ofer gysur: am hynny yr aethant fel defaid, cystuddiwyd hwynt, am nad oedd bugail. Wrth y bugeiliaid yr enynnodd fy llid, a mi a gosbais y bychod: canys Arglwydd y lluoedd a ymwelodd â’i braidd tŷ Jwda, ac a’u gwnaeth fel ei harddfarch yn y rhyfel. Y gongl a ddaeth allan ohono, yr hoel ohono, y bwa rhyfel ohono, a phob gorthrymwr ynghyd a ddaeth ohono.

A byddant fel cewri yn sathru eu gelynion yn nhom yr heolydd yn y rhyfel: a hwy a ymladdant, am fod yr Arglwydd gyda hwynt; a chywilyddir marchogion meirch. A nerthaf dŷ Jwda, a gwaredaf dŷ Joseff, a pharaf iddynt ddychwelyd i’w cyfle; canys trugarheais wrthynt; a byddant fel pe nas gwrthodaswn hwynt: oherwydd myfi yw yr Arglwydd eu Duw hwynt, ac a’u gwrandawaf hwynt. Bydd Effraim hefyd fel cawr, a’u calonnau a lawenychant fel trwy win: a’u meibion a gânt weled, ac a lawenychant; bydd eu calon yn hyfryd yn yr Arglwydd. Chwibanaf arnynt, a chasglaf hwynt; canys gwaredais hwynt: ac amlhânt fel yr amlhasant. A heuaf hwynt ymysg y bobloedd: ac mewn gwledydd pell y’m cofiant, a byddant fyw gyda’u plant, a dychwelant. 10 A dychwelaf hwynt o dir yr Aifft, a chasglaf hwynt o Asyria; ac arweiniaf hwynt i dir Gilead a Libanus, ac ni cheir lle iddynt. 11 Ac efe a dramwya trwy y môr mewn blinder, ac a dery y tonnau yn y môr; a holl ddyfnderoedd yr afon a fyddant ddihysbydd: a disgynnir balchder Asyria, a theyrnwialen yr Aifft a gilia ymaith. 12 Nerthaf hwynt hefyd yn yr Arglwydd, ac yn ei enw ef yr ymrodiant, medd yr Arglwydd.

The Lord Will Care for Judah

10 Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime;
    it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms.
He gives showers of rain(A) to all people,
    and plants of the field(B) to everyone.
The idols(C) speak deceitfully,
    diviners(D) see visions that lie;
they tell dreams(E) that are false,
    they give comfort in vain.(F)
Therefore the people wander like sheep
    oppressed for lack of a shepherd.(G)

“My anger burns against the shepherds,
    and I will punish the leaders;(H)
for the Lord Almighty will care
    for his flock, the people of Judah,
    and make them like a proud horse in battle.(I)
From Judah will come the cornerstone,(J)
    from him the tent peg,(K)
from him the battle bow,(L)
    from him every ruler.
Together they[a] will be like warriors in battle
    trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets.(M)
They will fight because the Lord is with them,
    and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.(N)

“I will strengthen(O) Judah
    and save the tribes of Joseph.
I will restore them
    because I have compassion(P) on them.(Q)
They will be as though
    I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God
    and I will answer(R) them.
The Ephraimites will become like warriors,
    and their hearts will be glad as with wine.(S)
Their children will see it and be joyful;
    their hearts will rejoice(T) in the Lord.
I will signal(U) for them
    and gather them in.
Surely I will redeem them;
    they will be as numerous(V) as before.
Though I scatter them among the peoples,
    yet in distant lands they will remember me.(W)
They and their children will survive,
    and they will return.
10 I will bring them back from Egypt
    and gather them from Assyria.(X)
I will bring them to Gilead(Y) and Lebanon,
    and there will not be room(Z) enough for them.
11 They will pass through the sea of trouble;
    the surging sea will be subdued
    and all the depths of the Nile will dry up.(AA)
Assyria’s pride(AB) will be brought down
    and Egypt’s scepter(AC) will pass away.(AD)
12 I will strengthen(AE) them in the Lord
    and in his name they will live securely,(AF)
declares the Lord.
