1 Dyma enwau meibion Israel a aeth i'r Aifft gyda Jacob, pob un gyda'i deulu:
1Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Lefi a Jwda,
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Sabulon a Benjamin,
3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Dan a Nafftali, Gad ac Aser.
4Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 Yr oedd gan Jacob ddeg a thrigain o ddisgynyddion; yr oedd Joseff eisoes yn yr Aifft.
5And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 Yna bu farw Joseff a phob un o'i frodyr a'r holl genhedlaeth honno.
6And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 Ond yr oedd plant Israel yn ffrwythlon ac yn amlhau'n ddirfawr, ac aethant mor gryf a niferus nes bod y wlad yn llawn ohonynt.
7And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Yna daeth brenin newydd i deyrnasu ar yr Aifft, un nad oedd yn gwybod am Joseff.
8Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9 Dywedodd ef wrth ei bobl, "Edrychwch, y mae pobl Israel yn fwy niferus ac yn gryfach na ni.
9And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 Rhaid inni fod yn ddoeth wrth eu trin, rhag iddynt gynyddu, a phe deuai rhyfel, iddynt ymuno �'n gelynion i ymladd yn ein herbyn, a dianc o'r wlad."
10Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
11 Felly, gosodwyd meistri gwaith i oruchwylio'r bobl ac i'w llethu � beichiau trymion. Hwy fu'n adeiladu Pithom a Rameses, dinasoedd ar gyfer ystordai Pharo.
11Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 Ond po fwyaf y caent eu gorthrymu, mwyaf yn y byd yr oeddent yn amlhau ac yn cynyddu; a daeth yr Eifftiaid i'w hofni.
12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13 Am hynny, gorfodwyd i'r Israeliaid weithio dan ormes,
13And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:
14 a gwnaeth yr Eifftiaid eu bywyd yn chwerw trwy eu gosod i lafurio'n galed � chlai a phriddfeini, a gwneud pob math o waith yn y meysydd. Yr oedd y cwbl yn cael ei wneud dan ormes.
14And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor.
15 Yna dywedodd brenin yr Aifft wrth Siffra a Pua, dwy fydwraig yr Hebreaid,
15And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 "Pan fyddwch yn gweini ar wragedd yr Hebreaid, sylwch ar y plentyn a enir: os mab fydd, lladdwch ef; os merch, gadewch iddi fyw."
16And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 Ond yr oedd y bydwragedd yn parchu Duw; ac ni wnaethant yr hyn a orchmynnodd brenin yr Aifft, ond gadawsant i'r bechgyn fyw.
17But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
18 Galwodd brenin yr Aifft y bydwragedd ato a gofyn, "Pam y gwnaethoch hyn, a gadael i'r bechgyn fyw?"
18And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
19 Dywedasant hwythau wrth Pharo, "Nid yw gwragedd yr Hebreaid yn debyg i wragedd yr Eifftiaid, oherwydd y maent hwy yn fywiog ac yn esgor cyn i'r fydwraig gyrraedd."
19And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
20 Am hynny bu Duw yn dda wrth y bydwragedd; a chynyddodd y bobl a dod yn rymus iawn.
20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 Am fod y bydwragedd yn parchu Duw, cawsant hwy eu hunain deuluoedd.
21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
22 Yna rhoddodd Pharo orchymyn i'r holl bobl a dweud, "Taflwch i'r Neil bob mab a enir i'r Hebreaid, ond gadewch i bob merch gael byw."
22And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
