¹On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever,

¹ Y diwrnod hwnnw, yn ystod y darlleniad o lyfr Moses i'r bobl, cafwyd ei bod yn ysgrifenedig nad oedd Ammoniaid na Moabiaid byth i ddod i mewn i gynulleidfa Duw,

²because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.

² am na ddaethant i gyfarfod �'r Israeliaid � bwyd a diod, eithr yn hytrach gyflogi Balaam yn eu herbyn, i'w melltithio; ond fe drodd ein Duw y felltith yn fendith.

³And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

³ A phan glywsant y gyfraith gwahanwyd oddi wrth Israel bawb o waed cymysg.

⁴Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied unto Tobiah,

⁴ Ond cyn hyn yr oedd Eliasib yr offeiriad wedi ei wneud yn gyfrifol am ystafelloedd tu375? ein Duw.

⁵had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the heave-offerings for the priests.

⁵ Yr oedd ef yn perthyn i Tobeia, ac wedi rhoi iddo ystafell fawr lle gynt y cedwid y bwydoffrwm a'r thus, y llestri a degwm yr u375?d, y gwin a'r olew oedd yn ddyledus i'r Lefiaid ac i'r cantorion a'r porthorion, a'r cyfraniad ar gyfer yr offeiriaid.

⁶But in all this [time] I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went unto the king: and after certain days asked I leave of the king,

⁶ Yr adeg honno nid oeddwn i yn Jerwsalem, oherwydd yn y ddeuddegfed flwyddyn ar hugain i Artaxerxes brenin Babilon yr oeddwn wedi mynd at y brenin. Ychydig yn ddiweddarach gofynnais ei ganiat�d i ddychwelyd.

⁷and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.

⁷ Pan gyrhaeddais Jerwsalem gwelais y camwri a wnaeth Eliasib ynglu375?n � Tobeia trwy roi ystafell iddo yng nghynteddoedd tu375? Dduw.

⁸And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.

⁸ Cythruddodd hyn fi'n ddirfawr, a theflais ddodrefn Tobeia i gyd allan o'r ystafell;

⁹Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frankincense.

⁹ a gorchmynnais iddynt buro'r ystafelloedd, a rhoddais lestri tu375? Dduw a'r bwydoffrwm a'r thus yn �l yno.

¹⁰And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.

¹⁰ Darganf�m hefyd nad oedd y Lefiaid wedi derbyn eu cyfrannau, a'u bod hwy a'r cantorion oedd yn gyfrifol am y gwasanaethau wedi mynd i ffwrdd i'w ffermydd.

¹¹Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.

¹¹ Yna ceryddais y swyddogion a dweud, "Pam y cafodd tu375? Dduw ei esgeuluso?" Ac fe'u cesglais at ei gilydd, a'u gosod yn �l wrth eu gwaith.

¹²Then brought all Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.

¹² Yna daeth holl Jwda � degwm yr u375?d a'r gwin a'r olew i'r trysordai.

¹³And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute unto their brethren.

¹³ Ac etholais yn drysoryddion Selemeia yr offeiriad, Sadoc yr ysgrifennydd, a Pedaia y Lefiad, a Hanan fab Saccur, fab Metaneia i'w cynorthwyo, oherwydd fe'u cyfrifid yn rhai dibynadwy, a'u dyletswydd hwy oedd rhannu i'w brodyr.

¹⁴Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances thereof.

¹⁴ Cofia fi, fy Nuw, am hyn, a phaid � dileu'r daioni a wneuthum i du375? fy Nuw a'i wasanaethau.

¹⁵In those days saw I in Judah some men treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses [therewith]; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against them] in the day wherein they sold victuals.

¹⁵ Yn y dyddiau hynny gwelais ddynion yn Jwda yn sathru gwinwryf ar y Saboth, ac yn pentyrru grawn, ac yn llwytho asynnod � gwin, grawnwin, ffigys, a phob math o feichiau, ac yn eu cario i Jerwsalem ar y dydd Saboth. Rhybuddiais hwy am werthu bwyd ar y dydd hwn.

¹⁶There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought in fish, and all manner of wares, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

¹⁶ Daeth y Tyriaid oedd yn byw yn y ddinas � physgod a phob math o farsiand�aeth i'w gwerthu ar y Saboth i bobl Jwda yn Jerwsalem.

¹⁷Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

¹⁷ Felly ceryddais bendefigion Jwda a dweud wrthynt, "Beth yw'r drwg hwn yr ydych yn ei wneud, yn halogi'r dydd Saboth?

¹⁸Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.

¹⁸ Onid dyma a wnaeth eich hynafiaid fel y daeth ein Duw �'r holl ddrwg hwn arnom ni ac ar y ddinas hon? Yr ydych yn dod � mwy eto o lid ar Israel trwy halogi'r Saboth."

¹⁹And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

¹⁹ Yna, cyn dechrau'r Saboth, fel yr oedd yn nosi dros byrth Jerwsalem, gorchmynnais gau'r drysau, ac nad oedd neb i'w hagor cyn diwedd y Saboth. A gosodais rai o'm llanciau wrth y pyrth fel na ch�i dim ei gario i mewn ar y dydd Saboth.

²⁰So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.

²⁰ Unwaith neu ddwy gwersyllodd y masnachwyr a gwerthwyr pob math o nwyddau y tu allan i Jerwsalem,

²¹Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.

²¹ ond rhybuddiais hwy a dweud, "Pam yr ydych yn gwersyllu yn ymyl y mur? Os gwnewch hyn eto fe'ch cosbaf chwi." o'r dydd hwnnw ymlaen ni ddaethant ar y Saboth.

²²And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy lovingkindness.

²² A gorchmynnais i'r Lefiaid eu puro eu hunain a dod i wylio'r pyrth, er mwyn cadw'r dydd Saboth yn sanctaidd. Am hyn hefyd cofia fi, fy Nuw, ac arbed fi yn dy drugaredd fawr.

²³In those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab:

²³ Yn y dyddiau hynny hefyd gwelais fod rhai Iddewon wedi priodi merched o Asdod, Ammon a Moab.

²⁴and their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.

²⁴ Yr oedd hanner eu plant yn siarad iaith Asdod, heb fedru siarad iaith yr Iddewon, a'r lleill yn siarad tafodiaith gymysg.

²⁵And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.

²⁵ Ceryddais hwy a'u melltithio, a tharo rhai ohonynt a thynnu eu gwallt; gwneuthum iddynt gymryd llw yn enw Duw i beidio � rhoi eu merched i feibion yr estron, na chymryd eu merched hwy i'w meibion nac iddynt eu hunain.

²⁶Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did foreign women cause to sin.

²⁶ "Onid o achos merched fel hyn," meddwn, "y pechodd Solomon brenin Israel? Ni fu brenin tebyg iddo ymysg yr holl genhedloedd, yn un yr oedd Duw yn ei garu, ac wedi ei wneud ganddo yn frenin ar Israel gyfan; eto fe wnaeth merched estron iddo yntau bechu.

²⁷Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?

²⁷ A ddylem ni felly wrando arnoch chwi i wneud y drwg mawr hwn, a throseddu yn erbyn ein Duw trwy briodi merched estron?"

²⁸And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.

²⁸ Yr oedd un o feibion Joiada, mab Eliasib yr archoffeiriad, yn fab-yng-nghyfraith i Sanbalat yr Horoniad; am hynny gyrrais ef o'm gu373?ydd.

²⁹Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.

²⁹ Cofia hwy, O fy Nuw, am iddynt halogi'r offeiriadaeth a chyfamod yr offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid.

³⁰Thus cleansed I them from all foreigners, and appointed charges for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work;

³⁰ Yna glanheais hwy oddi wrth bopeth estron, a threfnais ddyletswyddau i'r offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid, pob un yn ei swydd.

³¹and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

³¹ Gwneuthum ddarpariaeth hefyd ar gyfer coed yr offrwm ar wyliau penodedig, ac ar gyfer y blaenffrwyth. Cofia fi, fy Nuw, er daioni.
