Ultimately, however, the Government and the Assembly cannot afford to sit on their hands and do nothing.
Yn y pen draw, fodd bynnag, ni all y Llywodraeth a'r Cynulliad fforddio eistedd ar eu dwylo a gwneud dim.

It is absurd that Members of Parliament, such as my colleague, the Labour MP for Cardiff North, decided to sit on their hands.
Mae'n wirion fod Aelodau Seneddol, megis fy nghyfaill, yr AS Llafur dros Ogledd Caerdydd, wedi penderfynu eistedd at eu dwylo.

All too often, we agree on something in principle, but when it is a matter of supporting legislation that would make a difference, some Members sit on their hands and prevent change from happening.
Yn rhy aml o lawer, byddwn yn cytuno ar rywbeth mewn egwyddor, ond pan ddaw'n fater o gefnogi deddfwriaeth a fyddai'n gwneud gwahaniaeth, mae rhai Aelodau'n eistedd ar eu dwylo ac yn rhwystro unrhyw newid.

It was dreadful to see Labour Members of Parliament and others, having campaigned against post office closures, either voting against the amendment in the House of Commons, or, as the Labour MP for Cardiff North did, sitting on their hands and abstaining.
Yr oedd yn warth gweld Aelodau Seneddol Llafur ac eraill, ar ôl bod yn ymgyrchu yn erbyn cau swyddfeydd post, naill ai'n pleidleisio yn erbyn y gwelliant yn Nhŷ'r Cyffredin, ynteu fel AS Llafur Gogledd Caerdydd yn eistedd ar eu dwylo ac ymatal.

Mae mor drist ac mor ddigalon eu bod yn eistedd ar eu dwylo pan allent fod yn diogelu rhai o'r bobl dlotaf yn ein hetholaethau a rhai o'r disgyblion tlotaf yn ein cymdeithas sydd, am ba bynnag reswm, yn teimlo gormod o gywilydd i hawlio'u prydau ysgol am ddim.

That fund provides many pensioners with protection for up to 90 per cent of their pensions, up to a cap of £30,000. While people may criticise Peter Hain for this and that, I think that he needs to be given due credit for making progress where people had been sitting on their hands for many years.
I nifer o bensiynwyr, mae'r gronfa'n diogelu hyd at 90 y cant o'u pensiynau, hyd at uchafswm o £30,000. Gall pobl feirniadu Peter Hain am hyn a'r llall, ond credaf fod angen iddo gael y clod y mae'n ei haeddu am wneud cynnydd mewn maes lle'r oedd pobl wedi bod yn llaesu dwylo am flynyddoedd lawer.

verse "13" For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and like a valiant man I have brought down them that sit on thrones:
adnod "13" "Yn fy nerth fy hun y gwneuthum hyn, a thrwy fy noethineb, pan oeddwn yn cynllunio. Symudais ffiniau cenhedloedd, ysbeiliais eu trysorau; fel tarw bwriais i lawr y trigolion.
