¹In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.

¹ Yn y drydedd flwyddyn o deyrnasiad Jehoiacim brenin Jwda, daeth Nebuchadnesar brenin Babilon i Jerwsalem a gwarchae arni.

²And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.

² A rhoddodd yr Arglwydd Jehoiacim brenin Jwda yn ei law, a rhai o lestri tu375? Dduw, ac aeth yntau � hwy i wlad Sinar a'u cadw yn nhrysordy ei dduw.

³And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;

³ Yna gorchmynnodd y brenin i Aspenas, ei brif swyddog, ddewis, o blith teulu brenhinol Israel a'r penaethiaid,

⁴youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

⁴ rai bechgyn golygus heb unrhyw nam corfforol arnynt, yn hyddysg ym mhob gwyddor, yn ddeallus a gwybodus, ac yn gymwys i wasanaethu llys y brenin, ac iddo'u trwytho yn ll�n ac iaith y Caldeaid.

⁵And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they should stand before the king.

⁵ Trefnodd y brenin iddynt dderbyn bwyd a gwin bob dydd o'i fwrdd ei hun, a chael eu hyfforddi am dair blynedd cyn mynd yn weision i'r llys.

⁶Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

⁶ Yn eu mysg yr oedd Jwdeaid, o'r enwau Daniel, Hananeia, Misael ac Asareia;

⁷And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abed-nego.

⁷ ond galwodd y prif swyddog Daniel yn Beltesassar, Hananeia yn Sadrach, Misael yn Mesach, ac Asareia yn Abednego.

⁸But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

⁸ Penderfynodd Daniel beidio �'i halogi ei hun � bwyd a gwin o fwrdd y brenin, ac erfyniodd ar y prif swyddog i'w arbed rhag cael ei halogi.

⁹Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.

⁹ Parodd Duw i'r prif swyddog ymddwyn yn ffafriol a charedig at Daniel,

¹⁰And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.

¹⁰ ond dywedodd y prif swyddog wrth Daniel, "Rwy'n ofni f'arglwydd frenin; ef sydd wedi pennu'ch bwyd a'ch diod, a phe sylwai eich bod yn edrych yn fwy gwelw na'ch cyfeillion byddech yn peryglu fy mywyd."

¹¹Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

¹¹ Dywedodd Daniel wrth y swyddog a osododd y prif swyddog i ofalu am Daniel, Hananeia, Misael ac Asareia,

¹²Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

¹² "Rho brawf ar dy weision am ddeg diwrnod: rhodder inni lysiau i'w bwyta a du373?r i'w yfed,

¹³Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.

¹³ ac wedyn cymharu'n gwedd ni a gwedd y bechgyn sy'n bwyta o fwyd y brenin. Yna gwna �'th weision fel y gweli'n dda."

¹⁴So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

¹⁴ Cydsyniodd yntau, a'u profi am ddeg diwrnod.

¹⁵And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king's dainties.

¹⁵ Ac ymhen y deg diwrnod yr oeddent yn edrych yn well ac yn fwy graenus na'r holl fechgyn oedd yn bwyta o fwyd y brenin.

¹⁶So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.

¹⁶ Felly cadwodd y swyddog y bwyd a'r gwin, a rhoi llysiau iddynt.

¹⁷Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

¹⁷ Rhoddodd Duw i'r pedwar bachgen wybod a deall pob math o lenyddiaeth a gwyddor; a chafodd Daniel y gallu i ddatrys pob gweledigaeth a breuddwyd.

¹⁸And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

¹⁸ Pan ddaeth yr amser a benodwyd gan y brenin i'w dwyn i'r llys, cyflwynodd y prif swyddog hwy i Nebuchadnesar.

¹⁹And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

¹⁹ Ar �l i'r brenin siarad � hwy, ni chafwyd neb yn eu mysg fel Daniel, Hananeia, Misael ac Asareia; felly daethant hwy yn weision i'r brenin.

²⁰And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm.

²⁰ A phan fyddai'r brenin yn eu holi ar unrhyw fater o ddoethineb a deall, byddai'n eu cael ddengwaith yn well na holl ddewiniaid a swynwyr ei deyrnas.

²¹And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

²¹ A bu Daniel yno hyd flwyddyn gyntaf y Brenin Cyrus.
