Mae Y Proffwyd yn llyfr sy’n cynnwys 26 o ddamhegion a ysgrifennwyd yn Saesneg ar ffurf barddoniaeth ryddiaith gan y bardd a’r athronydd Libanaidd-Americanaidd Kahlil Gibran. Fe’i cyhoeddwyd gyntaf ym 1923, a dyma waith mwyaf adnabyddus Gibran. Mae Y Proffwyd wedi’i gyfieithu i dros 100 o ieithoedd, gan ei wneud yn un o’r llyfrau a gyfieithwyd fwyaf erioed. Ni fu erioed allan o brint.Mae’r hanes yn ein cyflwyno i’r Proffwyd Almwstaffa, sydd wedi disgwyl am ddeuddeng mlynedd am ei long, a fydd o’r diwedd yn ei gludo’n ôl i ynys ei enedigaeth. Cyn iddo ymadael, mae rhai o drigolion dinas Orffalês yn gofyn iddo, am y tro olaf, rannu â hwy ei ddirnadaethau ar amryw bynciau ('Llefara wrthym am ...'). Mae’r Proffwyd yn traddodi 26 o bregethau sy’n ymdrin â chwestiynau sylfaenol bywyd dynol, sef cariad, priodas, plant, rhoi, bwyta ac yfed, gwaith, llawenydd a galar, tai, dillad, prynu a gwerthu, trosedd a chosb, cyfreithiau, rhyddid, rheswm ac angerdd, poen, hunan-adnabyddiaeth, addysgu, cyfeillgarwch, siarad, amser, daioni a drygioni, gweddi, pleser, harddwch, crefydd ac, yn olaf, angau. Yn y bennod olaf, mae Almwstaffa yn plethu trafodaeth ar gwestiwn ystyr bywyd i’w eiriau ymadael.----------The Prophet is a book of 26 fables written in English prose poetry by the Lebanese-American poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. It was first published in 1923 and is Gibran’s best known work. The Prophet has been translated into over 100 languages, making it one of the most translated books in history. It has never been out of print.The narrative introduces us to the Prophet Almustafa, who has waited twelve years for his ship, which will finally take him back to his homeland. Before leaving, some inhabitants of the city of Orphalese ask him to convey to them his insights on various topics for the last time ('Speak to us of...'). The Prophet relates 26 sermons that deal with basic questions of human life, namely love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and finally death. In the final chapter, Almustafa interweaves a discussion about the question of meaning into his parting words.
