¹Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

¹ Dyma eiriau'r llythyr a anfonodd y proffwyd Jeremeia o Jerwsalem at weddill yr henuriaid yn y gaethglud, a'r offeiriaid a'r proffwydi, ac at yr holl bobl a gaethgludodd Nebuchadnesar o Jerwsalem i Fabilon.

²(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)

² Bu hyn wedi i'r Brenin Jechoneia, a'r fam frenhines a'r eunuchiaid, swyddogion Jwda a Jerwsalem, a'r seiri a'r gofaint, adael Jerwsalem.

³By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,

³ Anfonodd y llythyr trwy law Elasa fab Saffan a Gemareia fab Hilceia, a anfonwyd gan Sedeceia brenin Jwda i Fabilon at Nebuchadnesar brenin Babilon.

⁴Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;

⁴ Dyma ei eiriau: "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel: 'At yr holl gaethglud a gaethgludais o Jerwsalem i Fabilon.

⁵Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

⁵ Codwch dai a thrigwch ynddynt; plannwch erddi a bwyta o'u ffrwyth;

⁶Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.

⁶ priodwch wragedd, a magu meibion a merched; cymerwch wragedd i'ch meibion a rhoi gwu375?r i'ch merched, i fagu meibion a merched; amlhewch yno, ac nid lleihau.

⁷And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

⁷ Ceisiwch heddwch y ddinas y caethgludais chwi iddi, a gwedd�wch drosti ar yr ARGLWYDD, oherwydd yn ei heddwch hi y bydd heddwch i chwi.'

⁸For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

⁸ "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel: 'Peidiwch � chymryd eich twyllo gan eich proffwydi sydd yn eich mysg, na'ch dewiniaid, a pheidiwch � gwrando ar y breudd-wydion a freuddwydiant.

⁹For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

⁹ Proffwydant i chwi gelwydd yn f'enw i; nid anfonais hwy,' medd yr ARGLWYDD.

¹⁰For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

¹⁰ "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Pan gyflawnir deng mlynedd a thrigain i Fabilon, ymwelaf � chwi a chyflawni fy mwriad daionus tuag atoch, i'ch adfer i'r lle hwn.

¹¹For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

¹¹ Oherwydd myfi sy'n gwybod fy mwriadau a drefnaf ar eich cyfer,' medd yr ARGLWYDD, 'bwriadau o heddwch, nid niwed, i roi ichwi ddyfodol gobeithiol.

¹²Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

¹² Yna galwch arnaf, a dewch i wedd�o arnaf, a gwrandawaf arnoch.

¹³And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

¹³ Fe'm ceisiwch a'm cael; pan chwiliwch �'ch holl galon

¹⁴And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

¹⁴ fe'm cewch,' medd yr ARGLWYDD, 'ac adferaf ichwi lwyddiant, a'ch casglu o blith yr holl genhedloedd, ac o'r holl leoedd y gyrrais chwi iddynt,' medd yr ARGLWYDD; 'ac fe'ch dychwelaf i'r lle y caethgludwyd chwi ohono.'

¹⁵Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;

¹⁵ "Yr ydych yn dweud, 'Cododd yr ARGLWYDD broffwydi i ni draw ym Mabilon.'

¹⁶Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;

¹⁶ Ond dywed yr ARGLWYDD fel hyn am y brenin sy'n eistedd ar orsedd Dafydd, ac am yr holl bobl sy'n trigo yn y ddinas hon, a'r rhai nad aethant gyda chwi i'r gaethglud;

¹⁷Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

¹⁷ ie, fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: 'Dyma fi'n anfon arnynt y cleddyf a newyn a haint; a gwnaf hwy fel ffigys drwg, na ellir eu bwyta gan mor ddrwg ydynt.

¹⁸And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:

¹⁸ Ymlidiaf hwy �'r cleddyf a newyn a haint, a gwnaf hwy'n arswyd i holl deyrnasoedd y ddaear, yn felltith ac arswyd a syndod a chywilydd ymhlith yr holl genhedloedd y gyrraf hwy atynt.

¹⁹Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.

¹⁹ Megis na wrandawsant ar fy ngeiriau, a anfonais atynt yn gyson trwy fy ngweision y proffwydi,' medd yr ARGLWYDD, 'felly ni wrandawsoch chwithau,' medd yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁰Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:

²⁰ 'Ond yn awr gwrandewch air yr ARGLWYDD, chwi yr holl gaethglud a yrrais o Jerwsalem i Fabilon.'

²¹Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;

²¹ "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel, am Ahab fab Colaia, ac am Sedeceia fab Maaseia, sy'n proffwydo i chwi gelwydd yn fy enw i: 'Dyma fi'n eu rhoi yn llaw Neb-uchadnesar brenin Babilon, a bydd ef yn eu lladd yn eich gu373?ydd chwi.

²²And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

²² Ac o'u hachos hwy fe gyfyd ymhlith holl gaethglud Jwda ym Mabilon y ffurf hon o felltith: "Boed i'r ARGLWYDD dy drin di fel Sedeceia ac fel Ahab, y rhai a rostiodd brenin Babilon yn y t�n."

²³Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.

²³ Oherwydd gwnaethant yn ysgeler yn Israel, gan odinebu � gwragedd eu cymdogion, a dweud yn f'enw i gelwydd nas gorchmynnais iddynt. Myfi sy'n gwybod, ac yn tystio,' medd yr ARGLWYDD."

²⁴Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

²⁴ "Wrth Semaia y Nehelamiad fe ddywedi,

²⁵Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

²⁵ 'Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel: Anfonaist lythyrau yn d'enw dy hun at holl bobl Jerwsalem, ac at yr offeiriad Seffaneia fab Maaseia ac at yr holl offeiriaid, gan ddweud:

²⁶The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.

²⁶ Gosododd yr ARGLWYDD di yn offeiriad yn lle Jehoiada'r offeiriad, i arolygu yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD ar bob gu373?r gorffwyll sy'n proffwydo, a'i osod mewn cyffion a rhigod.

²⁷Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?

²⁷ Yn awr pam na cheryddaist Jeremeia o Anathoth, sy'n proffwydo i chwi?

²⁸For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

²⁸ Oherwydd anfonodd ef atom i Fabilon a dweud: Bydd y gaethglud hon yn hir; codwch dai a thrigwch ynddynt, a phlannwch erddi a bwyta'u ffrwyth.'"

²⁹And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

²⁹ Ac yr oedd yr offeiriad Seffaneia wedi darllen y llythyr hwn yng nghlyw y proffwyd Jeremeia.

³⁰Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

³⁰ A daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Jeremeia a dweud,

³¹Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:

³¹ "Anfon at yr holl gaethglud a dweud, 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD wrth Semaia y Nehelamiad: Oherwydd i Semaia broffwydo i chwi, a minnau heb ei anfon, a pheri ichwi ymddiried mewn celwydd �

³²Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.

³² am hynny, fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Dyma fi'n ymweld � Semaia y Nehelamiad, ac �'i hil. Ni adewir yr un o'i eiddo ymhlith y bobl hyn, ac ni w�l y daioni yr wyf fi am ei roi i'm pobl, medd yr ARGLWYDD, oherwydd dysgodd wrthryfel yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD.'"
