Y Fordaith i Lilliput / The Voyage to Lilliput - Jonathan Swift

Pan ddeffrois i olau dydd newydd dorri

When I woke daylight had just broken

Ceisiais godi ond ni allwn

I attempted to rise, but could not

Roeddwn i'n syrthio i gysgu ar fy nghefn

I had happened to fall asleep on my back

ac yn awr fy mreichiau a'm coesau wedi eu clymu i'r llawr

and now my arms and legs were fastened to the ground

ac roedd fy ngwallt, a oedd yn hir a thrwchus, wedi'i glymu i lawr hefyd

and my hair, which was long and thick, was tied down too

Gallwn i ddim ond edrych i fyny

I could only look upward

Mae'r haul yn dechrau tyfu'n boeth

The sun began to grow hot

a'r golau yn brifo fy llygaid

and the light hurt my eyes

Clywais sŵn dryslyd o'm cwmpas

I heard a confused noise around me

ond ni allai weld dim ond yr awyr

but could see nothing except the sky

Mewn ychydig o amser roeddwn i'n teimlo rhywbeth yn fyw

In a little time I felt something alive

Roedd yn symud ar fy nghoes chwith

it was moving on my left leg

mae'n datblygu'n ysgafn dros fy mrest

it gently advanced over my chest

ac yna daeth bron i fyny at fy ngên

and then it came almost up to my chin

Edrychais i lawr hefyd fel y gallwn

I looked down as well as I could

ac roeddwn i'n gweld beth oedd yn edrych fel creadur bach

and I perceived what looked like a little human creature

Ni allai fod wedi bod yn fwy na 6 modfedd o uchder

it could not have been more than six inches high

Roedd ganddo fwa a saeth yn ei ddwylo

it had a bow and arrow in his hands
