¹Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel [prophesied they] unto them.

¹ Ond wedi i'r proffwydi, Haggai a Sechareia fab Ido, broffwydo yn enw Duw Israel i'r Iddewon yn Jwda a Jerwsalem,

²Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.

² dechreuodd Sorobabel fab Salathiel a Jesua fab Josadac ailadeiladu tu375? Dduw yn Jerwsalem; ac yr oedd proffwydi Duw gyda hwy yn eu cefnogi.

³At the same time came to them Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?

³ Ond ar unwaith daeth Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Setharbosnai a'u cefnogwyr atynt a gofyn, "Pwy a roes ganiat�d i chwi ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn a gorffen ei goedio?"

⁴Then we told them after this manner, what the names of the men were that were making this building.

⁴ Gofynasant hefyd, "Beth yw enwau'r rhai sy'n codi'r adeilad hwn?"

⁵But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease, till the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it.

⁵ Ond yr oedd eu Duw yn gofalu am henuriaid yr Iddewon, ac ni chawsant eu rhwystro nes i adroddiad fynd at Dareius ac iddynt gael ateb ar y mater.

⁶The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were beyond the River, sent unto Darius the king;

⁶ Dyma gopi o'r llythyr a anfonodd Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Setharbosnai a'u cefnogwyr, penaethiaid Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, at y Brenin Dareius.

⁷they sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus: Unto Darius the king, all peace.

⁷ A dyma'r adroddiad ysgrifenedig a anfonwyd: "I'r Brenin Dareius, cyfarchion!

⁸Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls; and this work goeth on with diligence and prospereth in their hands.

⁸ Bydded hysbys i'r brenin i ni fynd i dalaith Jwda, a gweld tu375?'r Duw mawr yn cael ei adeiladu � cherrig enfawr, gyda choed yn y muriau; y mae'r gwaith yn mynd rhagddo ac yn llwyddo dan ofal henuriaid yr Iddewon.

⁹Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?

⁹ Yna gofynasom i'r henuriaid, 'Pwy a roes ganiat�d i chwi ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn a gorffen ei goedio?'

¹⁰We asked them their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were at the head of them.

¹⁰ Gofynasom hefyd iddynt am eu henwau fel y medrem gofnodi enwau eu harweinwyr a rhoi gwybod i ti.

¹¹And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and finished.

¹¹ A dyma'r ateb a gawsom: 'Gweision Duw nef a daear ydym ni, ac yr ydym yn ailadeiladu tu375? a godwyd lawer o flynyddoedd yn �l; un o frenhinoedd enwog Israel a'i cododd a'i orffen.

¹²But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.

¹² Ond am i'n hynafiaid ddigio Duw'r nefoedd, rhoddodd ef hwy i Nebuchadnesar y Caldead, brenin Babilon; dinistriodd yntau'r tu375? hwn a chaethgludo'r bobl i Fabilon.

¹³But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.

¹³ Ond ym mlwyddyn gyntaf ei deyrnasiad, rhoes Cyrus brenin Babilon orchymyn i ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn.

¹⁴And the gold and silver vessels also of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;

¹⁴ Yr oedd llestri aur ac arian yn perthyn i du375? Dduw; dygodd Nebuchadnesar hwy o'r deml yn Jerwsalem a'u rhoi yn nheml Babilon, ond cymerodd y Brenin Cyrus hwy o'r deml ym Mabilon a'u rhoi i u373?r o'r enw Sesbassar, a oedd wedi ei benodi'n llywodraethwr.

¹⁵and he said unto him, Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in its place.

¹⁵ Dywedodd wrtho, "Cymer y llestri yma, a dos � hwy i'r deml sydd yn Jerwsalem, a bydded i du375? Dduw gael ei adeiladu ar ei hen safle."

¹⁶Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundations of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not completed.

¹⁶ Yna daeth Sesbassar a gosod sylfeini tu375? Dduw yn Jerwsalem; a bu adeiladu o'r amser hwnnw hyd yn awr, ond nid yw wedi ei orffen.'

¹⁷Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

¹⁷ Felly, os cytuna'r brenin, chwilier yn yr archifau brenhinol ym Mabilon i weld a roes y Brenin Cyrus orchymyn i ailadeiladu'r deml hon yn Jerwsalem. Anfoner i ni ddyfarniad y brenin ynglu375?n �'r mater."
