¹Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;)

¹ Pan glywodd Sanbalat a Tobeia a Gesem yr Arabiad a'r gweddill o'n gelynion fy mod wedi ailgodi'r mur ac nad oedd yr un bwlch ar �l ynddo � er nad oeddwn y pryd hwnnw wedi gosod dorau ar y pyrth �

²that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.

² fe anfonodd Sanbalat a Gesem ataf a dweud, "Tyrd i'n cyfarfod yn un o'r pentrefi yn nyffryn Ono." Ond eu bwriad oedd gwneud niwed imi.

³And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?

³ Anfonais negeswyr atynt gyda'r ateb, "Y mae gennyf waith pwysig ar dro, felly ni allaf ddod i lawr. Pam y dylai'r gwaith gael ei atal tra wyf fi yn ei adael ac yn dod i lawr atoch chwi?"

⁴And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.

⁴ Anfonasant ataf i'r un perwyl bedair gwaith, a phob tro rhoddais yr un ateb.

⁵Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,

⁵ Y pumed tro anfonodd Sanbalat ei was ei hun ataf gyda llythyr agored

⁶wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou art building the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words.

⁶ yn cynnwys y neges hon: "Yn �l Gasmu y mae si ymysg y cenhedloedd dy fod ti a'r Iddewon yn bwriadu gwrthryfela, ac mai dyna pam yr wyt yn ailgodi'r mur. Dywedir hefyd dy fod ti dy hun am fod yn frenin arnynt,

⁷And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

⁷ a'th fod wedi penodi proffwydi i gyhoeddi yn Jerwsalem a dweud, 'Y mae brenin yn Jwda.' Bydd y brenin yn sicr o glywed am hyn; felly tyrd, a gad i ni ymgynghori �'n gilydd."

⁸Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.

⁸ Anfonais air yn �l ato a dweud, "Nid yw'r hyn a ddywedi di yn wir; ti dy hun sydd wedi ei ddychmygu."

⁹For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. But now, [O God], strengthen thou my hands.

⁹ Yr oeddent oll yn ceisio'n dychryn, gan dybio y byddem yn digalonni, ac na fyddai'r gwaith yn cael ei orffen. Ond yn awr cryfha fi!

¹⁰And I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.

¹⁰ Pan euthum i du375? Semaia fab Delaia, fab Mehetabel, oedd wedi ei gaethiwo i'w gartref, dywedodd wrthyf, "Gad i ni gyfarfod yn nhu375? Dduw, y tu mewn i'r cysegr, a chau drysau'r deml, oherwydd y maent yn dod i'th ladd, yn dod i'th ladd liw nos."

¹¹And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

¹¹ Atebais innau, "A ddylai dyn fel fi ffoi? A yw un fel fi i fynd i mewn i'r deml er mwyn achub ei fywyd? Nid af i mewn."

¹²And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

¹² Yna sylweddolais nad Duw oedd wedi ei anfon, ond ei fod wedi proffwydo fel hyn yn ein herbyn am fod Tobeia a Sanbalat wedi ei lwgrwobrwyo.

¹³For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

¹³ Yr oedd wedi cael ei dalu i godi ofn arnaf a pheri imi bechu trwy wneud hyn; yna fe gaent esgus i roi enw drwg imi, a'm gwaradwyddo.

¹⁴Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

¹⁴ Fy Nuw, cofia Tobeia a Sanbalat am iddynt wneud hyn, a hefyd Noadeia y broffwydes a'r proffwydi eraill oedd am fy nychryn.

¹⁵So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.

¹⁵ Gorffennwyd y mur mewn deuddeg diwrnod a deugain, ar y pumed ar hugain o Elul.

¹⁶And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard [thereof], that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.

¹⁶ Pan glywodd ein holl elynion, a phan welodd yr holl genhedloedd o'n hamgylch, yr oedd y peth yn rhyfeddol yn eu golwg, a daethant i ddeall mai trwy gymorth ein Duw y cafodd y gwaith hwn ei wneud.

¹⁷Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came unto them.

¹⁷ Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn anfonodd pendefigion Jwda nifer o lythyrau at Tobeia, a daeth llythyrau oddi wrth Tobeia atynt hwythau;

¹⁸For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife.

¹⁸ oherwydd yr oedd llawer yn Jwda mewn cynghrair ag ef am ei fod yn fab-yng-nghyfraith i Sechaneia fab Ara, a'i fab Jehohanan wedi priodi merch Mesulam fab Berecheia.

¹⁹Also they spake of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. [And] Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

¹⁹ Byddent yn s�n wrthyf am ei ragoriaethau ac yn ailadrodd fy ngeiriau innau wrtho ef. Ysgrifennodd Tobeia hefyd lythyrau ataf i'm dychryn.
