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 �

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

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.

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

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?"

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?

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

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

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

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

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,

⁶Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.

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."

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.

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

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

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!

⁹For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

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."

¹⁰Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, 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.

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."

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

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.

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

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.

¹³Therefore 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.

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

¹⁴My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

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

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

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.

¹⁶And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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