¹On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

¹ Y diwrnod hwnnw rhoddodd y Brenin Ahasferus du375? Haman, gelyn yr Iddewon, i'r Frenhines Esther; a daeth Mordecai i u373?ydd y brenin, oherwydd yr oedd Esther wedi dweud wrtho pa berthynas oedd ef iddi.

²And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

² Yna tynnodd y brenin ei fodrwy, a gymerodd yn �l oddi ar Haman, a'i rhoi i Mordecai. Rhoddodd Esther du375? Haman yng ngofal Mordecai.

³And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

³ Unwaith eto apeliodd Esther at y brenin a syrthio wrth ei draed. Wylodd ac erfyn arno rwystro'r drygioni a gynllwynodd Haman yr Agagiad yn erbyn yr Iddewon.

⁴Then the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

⁴ Estynnodd y brenin ei deyrnwialen aur at Esther, a chododd hithau a sefyll o'i flaen a dweud,

⁵And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king's provinces:

⁵ "Os gw�l y brenin yn dda, ac os cefais ffafr ganddo, a bod y mater yn dderbyniol ganddo, a minnau yn ei foddhau, anfoned wu375?s i alw'n �l y llythyrau a ysgrifennodd Haman fab Hammedatha yr Agagiad gyda'r bwriad o ddifa'r Iddewon sydd ym mhob un o daleithiau'r brenin.

⁶for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

⁶ Sut y gallaf edrych ar y trybini sy'n dod ar fy mhobl? Sut y gallaf oddef gweld dinistr fy nghenedl?"

⁷Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

⁷ Yna dywedodd y Brenin Ahasferus wrth y Frenhines Esther a Mordecai'r Iddew, "Yr wyf wedi rhoi tu375? Haman i Esther, a chrogwyd yntau ar grocbren am iddo ymosod ar yr Iddewon.

⁸Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.

⁸ Yn awr ysgrifennwch chwi fel y mynnoch ynglu375?n �'r Iddewon yn fy enw i, a selio'r ddogfen �'r s�l frenhinol, oherwydd ni ellir newid gwu375?s a ysgrifennwyd yn enw'r brenin ac a seliwyd �'r s�l frenhinol."

⁹Then were the king's scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

⁹ Yna, ar y trydydd dydd ar hugain o'r trydydd mis, sef Sifan, galwyd ynghyd ysgrifenyddion y brenin. Ysgrifennwyd, yn union fel y gorchmynnodd Mordecai, at yr Iddewon, at bendefigion, rheolwyr a thywysogion y taleithiau o India i Ethiopia, cant dau ddeg a saith o daleithiau, pob talaith yn ei hysgrifen ei hun a phob cenedl yn ei hiaith ei hun, ac at yr Iddewon yn eu hysgrifen a'u hiaith hwythau.

¹⁰And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by post on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king's service, bred of the stud:

¹⁰ Ysgrifennwyd y wu375?s yn enw'r Brenin Ahasferus, a'i selio �'r s�l frenhinol. Anfonwyd llythyrau gyda negeswyr yn marchogaeth ar feirch cyflym wedi eu magu yn stablau'r brenin.

¹¹wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

¹¹ Ynddynt rhoddodd y brenin hawl i'r Iddewon oedd ym mhob dinas i ymgasglu a'u hamddiffyn eu hunain, ac i ddifa, lladd a dinistrio byddin unrhyw genedl neu dalaith a ymosodai arnynt, a'u plant a'u gwragedd, ac ysbeilio'u heiddo.

¹²upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

¹² Yr oeddent i wneud hyn trwy holl daleithiau'r Brenin Ahasferus ar ddiwrnod penodedig, y trydydd ar ddeg o'r deuddegfed mis, sef Adar.

¹³A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

¹³ Yr oedd copi o'r wu375?s i'w anfon yn gyfraith i bob talaith, a'i ddangos i'r holl bobloedd, fel y byddai'r Iddewon yn barod y diwrnod hwnnw i ddial ar eu gelynion.

¹⁴So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king's service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace.

¹⁴ Felly aeth y negeswyr allan yn ddiymdroi, yn marchogaeth ar feirch cyflym y brenin; yr oeddent yn mynd ar frys ar orchymyn y brenin. Cyhoeddwyd y wu375?s hefyd yn Susan y brifddinas.

¹⁵And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.

¹⁵ Yna aeth Mordecai allan o u373?ydd y brenin mewn gwisg frenhinol o las a gwyn, a chyda choron fawr o aur, a mantell o liain main a phorffor; ac yr oedd dinas Susan yn orfoleddus.

¹⁶The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor.

¹⁶ Daeth goleuni, llawenydd, hapusrwydd ac anrhydedd i ran yr Iddewon.

¹⁷And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.

¹⁷ Ym mhob talaith a dinas lle daeth gair a gorchymyn y brenin, yr oedd yr Iddewon yn gwledda ac yn cadw gu373?yl yn llawen a hapus. Ac yr oedd llawer o bobl y wlad yn honni mai Iddewon oeddent, am fod arnynt ofn yr Iddewon.
