4. Jona
Jona 1-4 Alaw: Ambell i gân

Jona, o Jona, pam wyt ti am ffoi?
Mae Duw yn dy alw a thithau am droi.
Paid bod mor ystyfnig, ti'n gwybod yn well!
Ni fedri di guddio, er hwylio mor bell.

Jona, o Jona, pam wyt ti mor fud?
Mae'r storm o dy gwmpas; ti'n cysgu yn glyd.
O cod o dy wely ac ateb yn glir:
Pwy wyt ti a phwy yw yr unig Dduw gwir?

Jona, o Jona, pam wyt ti mor llwfr
 gofyn i eraill dy daflu i'r dŵr?
Ni fedri di ddianc drwy weithred mor wan:
Mae'r Duw ti'n addoli yn Arglwydd pob man!

Jona, o Jona, mae'n edrych mor ddu
O fol y pysgodyn yng nghanol y lli...
Tri dydd a thair noson rhwng marw a byw
Ai rwan ti'n dechrau gweddïo ar Dduw?

Jona, o Jona, yn saff ar y traeth,
Mae'r siwrne o'th flaen di yn hir ac yn faith.
Paid colli dy hyder, paid blino yn llwyr;
Mae angen dy neges yn hwyrach neu'n hwyr.

Jona, o Jona, cyflawnaist dy nod:
Cyhoeddaist i'r gelyn bod dial i ddod.
Pam wyt nawr yn pwdu am ddeugain dydd braf?
Cei weld yw dy Dduw di am achub neu ladd.

Jona, o Jona, pam wyt ti mor flin?
Gwrandawodd y bobl a phlygu penglin!
Pob dyn a chreadur yn edifarhau;
Ond ydyw yn iawn i dy Dduw drugarhau?

Jona, o Jona, dwêd beth ddysgaist di
Am farn a thrugaredd, am Arglwydd y lli?
Meddala dy galon, ac agor dy glyw:
Cei brofi dy hunan mai cariad yw Duw.

Jonah
Jonah 1-4 Tune: Ambell i gân

Jonah, oh Jonah, why do you flee?
God is calling you and you're running away.
Don't be so stubborn; you should know better!
You can't hide, however far you sail.

Jonah, oh Jonah, why are you so silent?
The storm is around you; you sleep so snug.
Get up from your bed and answer me clearly:
Who are you and who is the only true God?

Jonah, oh Jonah, why are you so cowardly
As to ask others to throw you into the water?
You can't escape through such a weak act:
The God you worship is Lord of everywhere!

Jonah, oh Jonah, it looks so dark
In the fish's belly amid the sea's foam...
Three days and nights between death and life
Are you only now starting to pray to God?

Jonah, oh Jonah, safe on the beach,
The journey ahead of you is long and far.
Don't lose your courage, don't get too tired;
Your message is needed, sooner or later.

Jonah, oh Jonah, you achieved your aim:
You announced to the enemy that vengeance is nigh.
Why now do you sulk for forty long days?
You'll see if your God wants to save or destroy.

Jonah, oh Jonah, why are you so cross?
The enemy listened and prayed on their knees!
Every man and every creature repented;
Isn't it right that your God should show mercy?

Jonah, oh Jonah, say what did you learn
About grace and mercy, about God himself?
Soften your heart, and open your ears:
You'll find out for yourself that God is love.
