¹Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,

¹ Yn gymaint � bod llawer wedi ymgymryd ag ysgrifennu hanes y pethau a gyflawnwyd yn ein plith,

²as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —

² fel y traddodwyd hwy inni gan y rhai a fu o'r dechreuad yn llygad-dystion ac yn weision y gair,

³it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus,

³ penderfynais innau, gan fy mod wedi ymchwilio yn fanwl i bopeth o'r dechreuad, eu hysgrifennu i ti yn eu trefn, ardderchocaf Theoffilus,

⁵There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;

⁵ Yn nyddiau Herod, brenin Jwdea, yr oedd offeiriad o adran Abeia, o'r enw Sachareias, a chanddo wraig o blith merched Aaron; ei henw hi oedd Elisabeth.

⁶and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,

⁶ Yr oeddent ill dau yn gyfiawn gerbron Duw, yn ymddwyn yn ddi-fai yn �l holl orchmynion ac ordeiniadau'r Arglwydd.

⁷and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.

⁷ Nid oedd ganddynt blant, oherwydd yr oedd Elisabeth yn ddiffrwyth, ac yr oeddent ill dau wedi cyrraedd oedran mawr.

⁸And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God,

⁸ Ond pan oedd Sachareias a'i adran, yn eu tro, yn gweinyddu fel offeiriaid gerbron Duw,

⁹according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord,

⁹ yn �l arferiad y swydd, daeth i'w ran fynd i mewn i gysegr yr Arglwydd ac offrymu'r arogldarth;

¹⁰and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.

¹⁰ ac ar awr yr offrymu yr oedd holl dyrfa'r bobl y tu allan yn gwedd�o.

¹¹And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,

¹¹ A dyma angel yr Arglwydd yn ymddangos iddo, yn sefyll ar yr ochr dde i allor yr arogldarth;

¹²and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;

¹² a phan welodd Sachareias ef, fe'i cythryblwyd a daeth ofn arno.

¹³and the messenger said unto him, `Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,

¹³ Ond dywedodd yr angel wrtho, "Paid ag ofni, Sachareias, oherwydd y mae dy ddeisyfiad wedi ei wrando; bydd dy wraig Elisabeth yn esgor ar fab i ti, a gelwi ef Ioan.

¹⁴and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy,

¹⁴ Fe gei lawenydd a gorfoledd, a bydd llawer yn llawenychu o achos ei enedigaeth ef;

¹⁵for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother`s womb;

¹⁵ oherwydd mawr fydd ef gerbron yr Arglwydd, ac nid yf win na diod gadarn byth; llenwir ef �'r Ysbryd Gl�n, ie, yng nghroth ei fam,

¹⁶and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God,

¹⁶ ac fe dry lawer o bobl Israel yn �l at yr Arglwydd eu Duw.

¹⁷and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.`

¹⁷ Bydd yn cerdded o flaen yr Arglwydd yn ysbryd a nerth Elias, i droi calonnau rhieni at eu plant, ac i droi'r anufudd i feddylfryd y cyfiawn, er mwyn darparu i'r Arglwydd bobl wedi eu paratoi."

¹⁸And Zacharias said unto the messenger, `Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?`

¹⁸ Meddai Sachareias wrth yr angel, "Sut y caf sicrwydd o hyn? Oherwydd yr wyf fi yn hen, a'm gwraig wedi cyrraedd oedran mawr."

¹⁹And the messenger answering said to him, `I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee,

¹⁹ Atebodd yr angel ef, "Myfi yw Gabriel, sydd yn sefyll gerbron Duw, ac anfonwyd fi i lefaru wrthyt ac i gyhoeddi iti y newydd da hwn;

²⁰and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.`

²⁰ ac wele, byddi'n fud a heb allu llefaru hyd y dydd y digwydd hyn, am iti beidio � chredu fy ngeiriau, geiriau a gyflawnir yn eu hamser priodol."

²¹And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,

²¹ Yr oedd y bobl yn disgwyl am Sachareias, ac yn synnu ei fod yn oedi yn y cysegr.

²²and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.

²² A phan ddaeth allan, ni allai lefaru wrthynt, a deallasant iddo gael gweledigaeth yn y cysegr; yr oedd yntau yn amneidio arnynt ac yn parhau yn fud.

²³And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,

²³ Pan ddaeth dyddiau ei wasanaeth i ben, dychwelodd adref.

²⁴and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying —

²⁴ Ond wedi'r dyddiau hynny beichiogodd Elisabeth ei wraig; ac fe'i cuddiodd ei hun am bum mis, gan ddweud,

²⁵`Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.`

²⁵ "Fel hyn y gwnaeth yr Arglwydd i mi yn y dyddiau yr edrychodd arnaf i dynnu ymaith fy ngwarth yng ngolwg y cyhoedd."

²⁶And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,

²⁶ Yn y chweched mis anfonwyd yr angel Gabriel gan Dduw i dref yng Ngalilea o'r enw Nasareth,

²⁷to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary.

²⁷ at wyryf oedd wedi ei dywedd�o i u373?r o'r enw Joseff, o du375? Dafydd; Mair oedd enw'r wyryf.

²⁸And the messenger having come in unto her, said, `Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;`

²⁸ Aeth yr angel ati a dweud, "Henffych well, tydi, yr un y rhoddodd Duw ei ffafr iddi! Y mae'r Arglwydd gyda thi."

²⁹and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.

²⁹ Ond cythryblwyd hi drwyddi gan ei eiriau, a cheisiodd ddirnad pa fath gyfarchiad a allai hwn fod.

³⁰And the messenger said to her, `Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;

³⁰ Meddai'r angel wrthi, "Paid ag ofni, Mair, oherwydd cefaist ffafr gyda Duw;

³¹and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus;

³¹ ac wele, byddi'n beichiogi yn dy groth ac yn esgor ar fab, a gelwi ef Iesu.

³²he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father,

³² Bydd hwn yn fawr, a Mab y Goruchaf y gelwir ef; rhydd yr Arglwydd Dduw iddo orsedd Dafydd ei dad,

³³and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and of his reign there shall be no end.`

³³ ac fe deyrnasa ar du375? Jacob am byth, ac ar ei deyrnas ni bydd diwedd."

³⁴And Mary said unto the messenger, `How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?`

³⁴ Meddai Mair wrth yr angel, "Sut y digwydd hyn, gan nad wyf yn cael cyfathrach � gu373?r?"

³⁵And the messenger answering said to her, `The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;

³⁵ Atebodd yr angel hi, "Daw'r Ysbryd Gl�n arnat, a bydd nerth y Goruchaf yn dy gysgodi; am hynny, gelwir y plentyn a genhedlir yn sanctaidd, Mab Duw.

³⁶and lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;

³⁶ Ac wele, y mae Elisabeth dy berthynas hithau wedi beichiogi ar fab yn ei henaint, a dyma'r chweched mis i'r hon a elwir yn ddiffrwyth;

³⁷because nothing shall be impossible with God.`

³⁷ oherwydd ni bydd dim yn amhosibl gyda Duw."

³⁸And Mary said, `Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy saying,` and the messenger went away from her.

³⁸ Dywedodd Mair, "Dyma lawforwyn yr Arglwydd; bydded i mi yn �l dy air di." Ac aeth yr angel i ffwrdd oddi wrthi.

³⁹And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,

³⁹ Ar hynny cychwynnodd Mair ac aeth ar frys i'r mynydd-dir, i un o drefi Jwda;

⁴⁰and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

⁴⁰ aeth i du375? Sachareias a chyfarch Elisabeth.

⁴¹And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,

⁴¹ Pan glywodd hi gyfarchiad Mair, llamodd y plentyn yn ei chroth a llanwyd Elisabeth �'r Ysbryd Gl�n;

⁴²and spake out with a loud voice, and said, `Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb;

⁴² a llefodd � llais uchel, "Bendigedig wyt ti ymhlith gwragedd, a bendigedig yw ffrwyth dy groth.

⁴³and whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?

⁴³ Sut y daeth i'm rhan i fod mam fy Arglwydd yn dod ataf?

⁴⁴for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;

⁴⁴ Pan glywais dy lais yn fy nghyfarch, dyma'r plentyn yn fy nghroth yn llamu o orfoledd.

⁴⁵and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.`

⁴⁵ Gwyn ei byd yr hon a gredodd y cyflawnid yr hyn a lefarwyd wrthi gan yr Arglwydd."

⁴⁶And Mary said, `My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁶ Ac meddai Mair: "Y mae fy enaid yn mawrygu yr Arglwydd,

⁴⁷And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,

⁴⁷ a gorfoleddodd fy ysbryd yn Nuw, fy Ngwaredwr,

⁴⁸Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,

⁴⁸ am iddo ystyried distadledd ei lawforwyn. Oherwydd wele, o hyn allan fe'm gelwir yn wynfydedig gan yr holl genedlaethau,

⁴⁹For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,

⁴⁹ oherwydd gwnaeth yr hwn sydd nerthol bethau mawr i mi, a sanctaidd yw ei enw ef;

⁵⁰And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

⁵⁰ y mae ei drugaredd o genhedlaeth i genhedlaeth i'r rhai sydd yn ei ofni ef.

⁵¹He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,

⁵¹ Gwnaeth rymuster �'i fraich, gwasgarodd y rhai balch eu calon;

⁵²He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

⁵² tynnodd dywysogion oddi ar eu gorseddau, a dyrchafodd y rhai distadl;

⁵³The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

⁵³ llwythodd y newynog � rhoddion, ac anfonodd y cyfoethogion ymaith yn waglaw.

⁵⁴He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

⁵⁴ Cynorthwyodd ef Israel ei was, gan ddwyn i'w gof ei drugaredd �

⁵⁵As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed — to the age.`

⁵⁵ fel y llefarodd wrth ein hynafiaid � ei drugaredd wrth Abraham a'i had yn dragywydd."

⁵⁶And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.

⁵⁶ Ac arhosodd Mair gyda hi tua thri mis, ac yna dychwelodd adref.

⁵⁷And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,

⁵⁷ Am Elisabeth, cyflawnwyd yr amser iddi esgor, a ganwyd iddi fab.

⁵⁸and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.

⁵⁸ Clywodd ei chymdogion a'i pherthnasau am drugaredd fawr yr Arglwydd iddi, ac yr oeddent yn llawenychu gyda hi.

⁵⁹And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,

⁵⁹ A'r wythfed dydd daethant i enwaedu ar y plentyn, ac yr oeddent am ei enwi ar �l ei dad, Sachareias.

⁶⁰and his mother answering said, `No, but he shall be called John.`

⁶⁰ Ond atebodd ei fam, "Nage, Ioan yw ei enw i fod."

⁶¹And they said unto her — `There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,`

⁶¹ Meddent wrthi, "Nid oes neb o'th deulu �'r enw hwnnw arno."

⁶²and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,

⁶² Yna gofynasant drwy arwyddion i'w dad sut y dymunai ef ei enwi.

⁶³and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, `John is his name;` and they did all wonder;

⁶³ Galwodd yntau am lechen fach ac ysgrifennodd, "Ioan yw ei enw." A synnodd pawb.

⁶⁴and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.

⁶⁴ Ar unwaith rhyddhawyd ei enau a'i dafod, a dechreuodd lefaru a bendithio Duw.

⁶⁵And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,

⁶⁵ Daeth ofn ar eu holl gymdogion, a bu trafod ar yr holl ddigwyddiadau hyn trwy fynydd-dir Jwdea i gyd;

⁶⁶and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, `What then shall this child be?` and the hand of the Lord was with him.

⁶⁶ a chadwyd hwy ar gof gan bawb a glywodd amdanynt. "Beth gan hynny fydd y plentyn hwn?" meddent. Ac yn wir yr oedd llaw'r Arglwydd gydag ef.

⁶⁷And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,

⁶⁷ Llanwyd Sachareias ei dad ef �'r Ysbryd Gl�n, a phroffwydodd fel hyn:

⁶⁸`Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,

⁶⁸ "Bendigedig fyddo Arglwydd Dduw Israel am iddo ymweld �'i bobl a'u prynu i ryddid;

⁶⁹And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,

⁶⁹ cododd waredigaeth gadarn i ni yn nhu375? Dafydd ei was �

⁷⁰As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age;

⁷⁰ fel y llefarodd trwy enau ei broffwydi sanctaidd yn yr oesoedd a fu �

⁷¹Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,

⁷¹ gwaredigaeth rhag ein gelynion ac o afael pawb sydd yn ein cas�u;

⁷²To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,

⁷² fel hyn y cymerodd drugaredd ar ein hynafiaid, a chofio ei gyfamod sanctaidd,

⁷³An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

⁷³ y llw a dyngodd wrth Abraham ein tad, y rhoddai inni

⁷⁴To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,

⁷⁴ gael ein hachub o afael gelynion, a'i addoli yn ddi-ofn

⁷⁵To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.

⁷⁵ mewn sancteiddrwydd a chyfiawnder ger ei fron ef holl ddyddiau ein bywyd.

⁷⁶And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.

⁷⁶ A thithau, fy mhlentyn, gelwir di yn broffwyd y Goruchaf, oherwydd byddi'n cerdded o flaen yr Arglwydd i baratoi ei lwybrau,

⁷⁷To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,

⁷⁷ i roi i'w bobl wybodaeth am waredigaeth trwy faddeuant eu pechodau.

⁷⁸Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

⁷⁸ Hyn yw trugaredd calon ein Duw � fe ddaw �'r wawrddydd oddi uchod i'n plith,

⁷⁹To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.`

⁷⁹ i lewyrchu ar y rhai sy'n eistedd yn nhywyllwch cysgod angau, a chyfeirio ein traed i ffordd tangnefedd."

⁸⁰And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

⁸⁰ Yr oedd y plentyn yn tyfu ac yn cryfhau yn ei ysbryd; a bu yn yr anialwch hyd y dydd y dangoswyd ef i Israel.
