¹And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Jehovah had commanded to Israel.

¹ Pan ddaeth y seithfed mis, a'r Israeliaid erbyn hyn yn eu trefi, ymgasglodd yr holl bobl fel un yn y sgw�r sydd o flaen Porth y Du373?r. Yna dywedasant wrth Esra yr ysgrifennydd am ddod � llyfr cyfraith Moses, sef yr un a orchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD i Israel.

²And Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.

² Ar y dydd cyntaf o'r seithfed mis daeth Esra yr offeiriad �'r gyfraith o flaen y gynulleidfa, yn wu375?r a gwragedd, pawb a fedrai ddeall yr hyn a glywai.

³And he read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were [attentive] unto the book of the law.

³ Darllenodd rannau ohoni, o doriad gwawr hyd hanner dydd, yng ngu373?ydd y gwu375?r a'r gwragedd oedd yn medru deall, gan wynebu'r sgw�r o flaen Porth y Du373?r; a gwrandawodd pawb yn astud ar lyfr y gyfraith.

⁴And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam.

⁴ Safodd Esra yr ysgrifennydd ar bulpud pren oedd wedi ei wneud i'r diben. Ar yr ochr dde iddo safodd Matitheia, Sema, Anaia, Ureia, Hilceia a Maaseia, ac ar y chwith Pedaia, Misael, Malcheia, Hasum, Hasbadana, Sechareia a Mesulam.

⁵And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:

⁵ Agorodd Esra y llyfr yng ngolwg yr holl bobl, oherwydd yr oedd ef yn uwch na hwy, a phan agorodd y llyfr, safodd pawb ar eu traed.

⁶and Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground.

⁶ Bendithiodd Esra yr ARGLWYDD, y Duw mawr, ac atebodd yr holl bobl, "Amen, Amen", gan godi eu dwylo ac ymgrymu ac addoli'r ARGLWYDD �'u hwynebau tua'r ddaear.

⁷Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people [stood] in their place.

⁷ Yr oedd y Lefiaid, Jesua, Bani, Serebeia, Jamin, Accub, Sabbethai, Hodeia, Maaseia, Celita, Asareia, Josabad, Hanan, Pelaia, yn egluro'r gyfraith i'r bobl, a hwythau'n aros yn eu lle.

⁸And they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.

⁸ Yr oeddent yn darllen o lyfr cyfraith Dduw, ac yn ei gyfieithu a'i esbonio fel bod pawb yn deall y darlleniad.

⁹And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto Jehovah your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

⁹ Yna dywedodd Nehemeia y llywodraethwr ac Esra yr offeiriad a'r ysgrifennydd, a'r Lefiaid oedd yn hyfforddi'r bobl, wrth yr holl bobl, "Y mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd i'r ARGLWYDD eich Duw; peidiwch � galaru nac wylo." Oherwydd yr oedd pawb yn wylo wrth wrando ar eiriau'r gyfraith.

¹⁰Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye grieved; for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.

¹⁰ Yna fe ddywedodd wrthynt, "Ewch, bwytewch ddanteithion ac yfwch win melys a rhannwch �'r sawl sydd heb ddim, oherwydd mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd i'n Harglwydd; felly, peidiwch � galaru, oherwydd llawenhau yn yr ARGLWYDD yw eich nerth."

¹¹So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.

¹¹ A thawelodd y Lefiaid yr holl bobl a dweud, "Byddwch ddistaw; peidiwch � galaru, oherwydd y mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd."

¹²And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

¹² Yna aeth pawb i ffwrdd i fwyta ac yfed ac i rannu ag eraill ac i orfoleddu, oherwydd yr oeddent wedi deall yr hyn a ddywedwyd wrthynt.

¹³And on the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers' [houses] of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the law.

¹³ Ar yr ail ddiwrnod daeth pennau-teuluoedd yr holl bobl, a'r offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid, at Esra yr ysgrifennydd er mwyn astudio geiriau'r gyfraith.

¹⁴And they found written in the law, how that Jehovah had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;

¹⁴ Yn y gyfraith a orchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD trwy Moses, fe gawsant yn ysgrifenedig y dylai'r Israeliaid fyw mewn pebyll yn ystod yr u373?yl yn y seithfed mis,

¹⁵and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.

¹⁵ a'u bod i anfon gair a chyhoeddi ym mhob un o'u dinasoedd yn ogystal ag yn Jerwsalem, "Ewch allan i'r mynydd, a dygwch gangau olewydd ac olewydd gwyllt a myrtwydd a phalmwydd a choed deiliog i wneud pebyll, fel yr ysgrifennwyd."

¹⁶So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim.

¹⁶ Aeth y bobl allan i'w cyrchu, a gwnaethant bebyll iddynt eu hunain, pob un ar do ei du375? ac yn eu cynteddoedd ac yng nghynteddoedd tu375? Dduw ac yn y sgw�r o flaen Porth y Du373?r ac yn y sgw�r o flaen Porth Effraim.

¹⁷And all the assembly of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.

¹⁷ Gwnaeth yr holl gynulleidfa a ddychwelodd o'r gaethglud bebyll, a byw ynddynt. Nid oedd yr Israeliaid wedi gwneud hyn o amser Josua fab Nun hyd y dydd hwnnw; a bu gorfoledd mawr iawn.

¹⁸Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the ordinance.

¹⁸ Darllenwyd o lyfr cyfraith Dduw yn feunyddiol o'r dydd cyntaf hyd yr olaf. Cadwasant yr u373?yl am saith diwrnod, ac ar yr wythfed dydd bu cynulliad yn �l y ddefod.
