¹When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;

¹ Pan glywodd Mordecai am bopeth a ddigwyddodd, rhwygodd ei ddillad a gwisgo sachliain a lludw, a mynd allan i ganol y ddinas a gweiddi'n groch a chwerw.

²And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

² Daeth i ymyl porth y brenin, oherwydd ni ch�i neb oedd yn gwisgo sachliain fynd i mewn i'r porth.

³And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

³ Ym mhob talaith lle y cyrhaeddodd gair a gorchymyn y brenin, yr oedd galar mawr ymysg yr Iddewon, ac yr oeddent yn ymprydio, yn wylo ac yn llefain; a gorweddodd llawer ohonynt mewn sachliain a lludw.

⁴So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.

⁴ Pan ddaeth morynion ac eunuchiaid y Frenhines Esther a dweud wrthi, yr oedd yn ofidus iawn. Anfonodd ddillad i Mordecai eu gwisgo yn lle'r sachliain oedd amdano, ond gwrthododd ef hwy.

⁵Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.

⁵ Yna galwodd Esther ar Hathach, un o eunuchiaid y brenin a ddewiswyd i weini arni, a'i orchymyn i fynd at Mordecai, i gael gwybod beth oedd ystyr hyn a pham y digwyddodd.

⁶So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.

⁶ Aeth Hathach allan at Mordecai i sgw�r y ddinas o flaen porth y brenin,

⁷And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

⁷ a dywedodd Mordecai wrtho am y cwbl a ddigwyddodd iddo, ac am y swm o arian yr addawodd Haman ei dalu i drysorfa'r brenin er mwyn difa'r Iddewon.

⁸Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.

⁸ Rhoddodd iddo hefyd gopi o'r wu375?s a gyhoeddwyd yn Susan, yn gorchymyn eu dinistrio, er mwyn iddo yntau ei dangos a'i hegluro i Esther, a dweud wrthi am fynd at y brenin i ymbil ag ef ac erfyn arno dros ei phobl.

⁹And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

⁹ Aeth Hathach a dweud wrth Esther yr hyn a ddywedodd Mordecai,

¹⁰Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;

¹⁰ a rhoddodd hithau iddo'r neges hon i Mordecai,

¹¹All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

¹¹ "Y mae holl weision y brenin a phobl ei daleithiau yn gwybod nad oes ond un ddedfryd yn aros unrhyw u373?r neu wraig sy'n mynd i'r cyntedd mewnol at y brenin heb wahoddiad, sef marwolaeth; ni chaiff fyw oni bai i'r brenin estyn ei deyrnwialen aur iddo. Nid wyf fi wedi fy ngalw at y brenin ers deg diwrnod ar hugain bellach."

¹²And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.

¹² Pan glywodd Mordecai neges Esther,

¹³Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

¹³ dywedodd wrthynt am ei hateb fel hyn, "Paid � meddwl y cei di yn unig o'r holl Iddewon dy arbed, am dy fod yn byw yn nhu375?'r brenin.

¹⁴For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

¹⁴ Os byddi'n gwrthod siarad yn awr, daw ymwared a chymorth i'r Iddewon o le arall, ond byddi di a thu375? dy dad yn trengi. Pwy a u373?yr nad ar gyfer y fath amser � hwn y daethost i'r frenhiniaeth?"

¹⁵Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,

¹⁵ Dywedodd Esther wrthynt am roi'r ateb hwn i Mordecai:

¹⁶Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

¹⁶ "Dos i gasglu ynghyd yr holl Iddewon sy'n byw yn Susan, ac ymprydiwch drosof; peidiwch � bwyta nac yfed, ddydd na nos, am dridiau, ac fe wnaf finnau a'm morynion yr un fath. Yna af at y brenin, er fy mod yn torri'r gyfraith; ac os trengaf, mi drengaf."

¹⁷So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

¹⁷ Aeth Mordecai ymaith a gwneud popeth a orchmynnodd Esther iddo.
