¹After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

¹ Wedi'r pethau hyn, pan liniarodd llid y Brenin Ahasferus, fe gofiodd am Fasti a'r hyn a wnaeth, ac am yr hyn a ddyfarnwyd amdani.

²Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:

² Dywedodd y llanciau oedd yn gweini ar y brenin, "Chwilier am wyryfon ifainc hardd i'r brenin.

³and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them;

³ Bydded i'r brenin ethol swyddogion ym mhob talaith o'i deyrnas i gasglu pob gwyryf ifanc hardd i Susan y brifddinas; yna rhodder hwy yn nhu375?'r gwragedd o dan ofal Hegai, eunuch y brenin sy'n gofalu am y gwragedd, a rhodder iddynt eu hoffer coluro.

⁴and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

⁴ Bydded i'r ferch sy'n ennill ffafr y brenin ddod i'r orsedd yn lle Fasti." Yr oedd y syniad yn dderbyniol gan y brenin, ac fe wnaeth felly.

⁵There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

⁵ Yr oedd Iddew yn byw yn Susan y brifddinas o'r enw Mordecai fab Jair, fab Simei, fab Cis, gu373?r o Benjamin.

⁶who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

⁶ Yr oedd wedi ei gymryd o Jerwsalem i'r gaethglud gyda Jechoneia brenin Jwda, a gaethgludwyd gan Nebuchadnesar brenin Babilon.

⁷And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.

⁷ Yr oedd ef wedi mabwysiadu ei gyfnither Hadassa, sef Esther, am ei bod yn amddifad. Yr oedd hi'n ferch deg a phrydferth; a phan fu farw ei thad a'i mam, mabwysiadodd Mordecai hi'n ferch iddo'i hun.

⁸So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

⁸ Pan gyhoeddwyd gair a gorchymyn y brenin a chasglu llawer o ferched ifainc i'r palas yn Susan o dan ofal Hegai, daethpwyd ag Esther i du375?'r brenin a oedd yng ngofal Hegai, ceidwad y gwragedd.

⁹And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king's house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women.

⁹ Yr oedd y ferch yn dderbyniol yn ei olwg, a chafodd ffafr ganddo. Trefnodd iddi gael ar unwaith ei hoffer coluro a'i dogn bwyd, a rhoddodd iddi saith o forynion golygus o du375?'r brenin, a'i symud hi a'i morynion i le gwell yn nhu375?'r gwragedd.

¹⁰Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.

¹⁰ Nid oedd Esther wedi s�n am ei chenedl na'i thras, am i Mordecai orchymyn iddi beidio.

¹¹And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.

¹¹ Bob dydd �i Mordecai heibio i gyntedd tu375?'r gwragedd er mwyn gwybod sut yr oedd Esther, a beth oedd yn digwydd iddi.

¹²Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [to wit], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),

¹² Ar ddiwedd deuddeg mis, sef y cyfnod o baratoi a osodwyd ar gyfer y gwragedd � chwe mis gydag olew a myrr, a chwe mis gyda pheraroglau ac offer coluro'r gwragedd � d�i tro pob merch i fynd at y Brenin Ahasferus.

¹³then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

¹³ Pan dd�i'r ferch at y brenin fel hyn, c�i fynd � beth bynnag a fynnai gyda hi o du375?'r gwragedd i balas y brenin.

¹⁴In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.

¹⁴ �i allan gyda'r hwyr, a dychwelyd yn y bore i ail du375?'r gwragedd o dan ofal Saasgas, eunuch y brenin a ofalai am y gordderchwragedd; ni fyddai'n mynd eilwaith at y brenin oni bai iddo ef ei chwennych a galw amdani wrth ei henw.

¹⁵Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

¹⁵ Pan ddaeth tro Esther, y ferch a fabwysiadwyd gan Mordecai am ei bod yn ferch i'w ewythr Abihail, i fynd i mewn at y brenin, ni ofynnodd hi am ddim ond yr hyn a awgrymodd Hegai, eunuch y brenin a cheidwad y gwragedd; ac yr oedd Esther yn cael ffafr yng ngolwg pawb a'i gwelai.

¹⁶So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

¹⁶ Aethpwyd ag Esther i mewn i'r palas at y Brenin Ahasferus yn y degfed mis, sef Tebeth, yn y seithfed flwyddyn o'i deyrnasiad.

¹⁷And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

¹⁷ Carodd y brenin Esther yn fwy na'r holl wragedd, a dangosodd fwy o ffafr a charedigrwydd tuag ati hi na thuag at yr un o'r gwyryfon eraill; rhoddodd goron frenhinol ar ei phen a'i gwneud yn frenhines yn lle Fasti.

¹⁸Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.

¹⁸ Yna gwnaeth y brenin wledd fawr i'w holl dywysogion a'i weision er mwyn anrhydeddu Esther; hefyd cyhoeddodd u373?yl ym mhob talaith, a rhannu anrhegion yn hael.

¹⁹And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate.

¹⁹ Pan ddaeth y gwyryfon at ei gilydd yr ail waith, yr oedd Mordecai'n eistedd ym mhorth llys y brenin.

²⁰Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.

²⁰ Nid oedd Esther wedi s�n am ei thras na'i chenedl, fel y gorchmynnodd Mordecai iddi; yr oedd hi'n derbyn cynghorion Mordecai, fel y gwn�i pan oedd yn ei magu.

²¹In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

²¹ Yr adeg honno, pan oedd Mordecai'n eistedd ym mhorth y brenin, yr oedd Bigthan a Theres, dau eunuch i'r Brenin Ahasferus oedd yn gofalu am y porth, wedi digio ac yn cynllwyn i ymosod ar y brenin.

²²And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king [thereof] in Mordecai's name.

²² Daeth Mordecai i wybod am hyn, a dywedodd wrth y Frenhines Esther; dywedodd hithau wrth y brenin yn enw Mordecai.

²³And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.

²³ Chwiliwyd yr achos a chafwyd ei fod yn wir; felly crogwyd y ddau ar bren. Ysgrifennwyd yr hanes yn llyfr y cronicl yng ngu373?ydd y brenin.
