¹Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.

¹ Ar y trydydd dydd, rhoddodd Esther ei gwisg frenhinol amdani a sefyll yng nghyntedd mewnol y palas gyferbyn ag ystafell y brenin. Yr oedd y brenin yn eistedd ar ei orsedd frenhinol yn y palas gyferbyn �'r fynedfa.

²And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

² Pan welodd y brenin y Frenhines Esther yn sefyll yn y cyntedd, fe enillodd hi ei ffafr, ac estynnodd ati'r deyrnwialen aur oedd yn ei law; daeth hithau yn nes a chyffwrdd � blaen y deyrnwialen.

³Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.

³ Yna dywedodd y brenin wrthi, "Beth sy'n bod, Frenhines Esther? Beth bynnag a geisi, hyd hanner fy nheyrnas, fe'i cei."

⁴And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

⁴ Atebodd Esther, "Os gw�l y brenin yn dda, hoffwn iddo ef a Haman ddod i'r wledd a baratoais iddo heddiw."

⁵Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

⁵ Gorchmynnodd y brenin gyrchu Haman ar frys, er mwyn gwneud fel y dymunai Esther; yna fe aeth y brenin a Haman i'r wledd a barat�dd Esther.

⁶And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

⁶ Wrth iddynt yfed gwin, dywedodd y brenin wrth Esther, "Fe gei di beth bynnag y gofynni amdano. Gwneir beth bynnag a fynni, hyd hanner y deyrnas."

⁷Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is:

⁷ Atebodd Esther, "Dyma fy nghais a'm dymuniad:

⁸if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.

⁸ os cefais ffafr yng ngolwg y brenin, ac os gw�l ef yn dda roi fy neisyfiad a gwneud fy nymuniad, bydded i'r brenin a Haman ddod i'r wledd yr wyf fi am ei pharatoi iddynt; yna yfory gwnaf fel y mae'r brenin yn dweud."

⁹Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.

⁹ Y diwrnod hwnnw aeth Haman allan yn llawen a hapus. Ond pan welodd ef Mordecai ym mhorth y brenin, ac yntau'n gwrthod codi na dangos parch tuag ato, gwylltiodd yn enbyd ag ef;

¹⁰Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.

¹⁰ ond ymataliodd, ac aeth adref. Yna galwodd ar ei gyfeillion, a'i wraig Seres,

¹¹And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

¹¹ ac adroddodd wrthynt am ei olud mawr, am nifer ei feibion, ac am y modd y dyrchafodd y brenin ef trwy ei osod uwchlaw'r tywysogion a'r gweision.

¹²Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king.

¹² Ac ychwanegodd, "Ni wahoddodd y Frenhines Esther neb ond myfi i fynd gyda'r brenin i'r wledd a wnaeth; ac fe'm gwahoddodd i fynd ati yfory eto gyda'r brenin.

¹³Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

¹³ Ond nid yw hyn oll yn rhoi unrhyw foddhad i mi tra gwelaf Mordecai yr Iddew yn eistedd ym mhorth y brenin."

¹⁴Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

¹⁴ Dywedodd Seres ei wraig a phob un o'i gyfeillion wrtho, "Gwneler crocbren hanner can cufydd o uchder, ac yn y bore dywed wrth y brenin am grogi Mordecai arno. Yna dos yn llawen i'r wledd gyda'r brenin." Yr oedd hyn wrth fodd Haman, ac fe wnaeth y crocbren.
