¹ Wyth mlwydd oed oedd Joseia pan ddaeth yn frenin, a theyrnasodd am dri deg ac un o flynyddoedd yn Jerwsalem.

¹A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,

² Gwnaeth yr hyn oedd uniawn yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, a dilyn llwybrau ei dad Dafydd yn gwbl ddiwyro.

²and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the ways of David his father, and hath not turned aside -- right or left.

³ Yn yr wythfed flwyddyn o'i deyrnasiad, ac yntau'n dal yn llanc ifanc, dechreuodd geisio Duw ei dad Dafydd. Yn y ddeuddegfed flwyddyn, dechreuodd buro Jwda a Jerwsalem o'r uchelfeydd, y pyst Asera, y cerfddelwau a'r delwau tawdd.

³And in the eighth year of his reign (and he yet a youth), he hath begun to seek to the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he hath begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images.

⁴ Gorchmynnodd ddinistrio allorau'r Baalim, a thorrodd i lawr yr allorau arogldarth a oedd uwch eu pen; drylliodd yn chwilfriw y pyst Asera, y cerfddelwau a'r delwau tawdd; malodd hwy'n yfflon a thaenu eu llwch hyd wyneb beddau y rhai a fu'n aberthu iddynt.

⁴And they break down before him the altars of the Baalim, and the images that [are] on high above them he hath cut down, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images, he hath broken and beaten small, and streweth on the surface of the graves of those sacrificing to them,

⁵ Llosgodd esgyrn yr offeiriaid ar eu hallorau, a phurodd Jwda a Jerwsalem.

⁵and the bones of the priests he hath burnt on their altars, and cleanseth Judah and Jerusalem,

⁶ Gwnaeth yr un peth yn ninasoedd Manasse, Effraim a Simeon, hyd at Nafftali, ac yn yr adfeilion o'u cwmpas,

⁶and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their tools, round about.

⁷ sef dryllio'r allorau a'r pyst Asera, a malu'r cerfluniau'n yfflon a dinistrio'r holl arogldarth trwy Israel gyfan; yna dychwelodd i Jerwsalem.

⁷And he breaketh down the altars and the shrines, and the graven images he hath beaten down very small, and all the images he hath cut down in all the land of Israel, and turneth back to Jerusalem.

⁸ Yn y ddeunawfed flwyddyn o'i deyrnasiad, ar �l puro'r wlad a'r deml, anfonodd Saffan fab Asaleia, Maaseia rheolwr y ddinas a Joa fab Joahas y cofiadur i atgyweirio tu375?'r ARGLWYDD ei Dduw.

⁸And in the eighteenth year of his reign, to purify the land and the house he hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah head of the city, and Joah son of Johaz the remembrancer, to strengthen the house of Jehovah his God.

⁹ Pan ddaethant at Hilceia yr archoffeiriad rhoesant iddo'r arian a ddygwyd i du375? Dduw ac a gasglodd y Lefiaid, ceidwaid y drws, oddi wrth Manasse ac Effraim a gweddill Israel, ac o holl Jwda, Benjamin a thrigolion Jerwsalem.

⁹And they come in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and they give the money that is brought in to the house of God, that the Levites, keeping the threshold, have gathered from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

¹⁰ Yna rhoddwyd ef i'r goruchwylwyr oedd yn gofalu am du375?'r ARGLWYDD; rhoddasant hwythau ef i'r gweithwyr oedd yn gweithio yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD ac yn atgyweirio'i agennau.

¹⁰and they give [it] into the hand of the workmen, those appointed over the house of Jehovah, and they give it [to] the workmen who are working in the house of Jehovah, to repair and to strengthen the house;

¹¹ Fe'i rhoesant hefyd i'r seiri a'r adeiladwyr i brynu cerrig nadd a choed ar gyfer distiau a thrawstiau i'r adeiladau yr oedd brenhinoedd Jwda wedi eu hesgeuluso.

¹¹and they give [it] to artificers, and to builders, to buy hewn stones, and wood for couplings and for beams to the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.

¹² Yr oedd y dynion yn gweithio'n ddiwyd dan oruchwyliaeth y Lefiaid oedd yn eu hannog, sef Jahath ac Obadeia o feibion Merari, a Sechareia a Mesulam o feibion y Cohathiaid. Ac yr oedd y Lefiaid, pob un a fedrai ganu offeryn cerdd,

¹²And the men are working faithfully in the business, and over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, every one understanding about instruments of song,

¹³ hefyd yn gofalu am y cludwyr ac yn arolygu pob gweithiwr, beth bynnag oedd ei waith. Yr oedd rhai o'r Lefiaid hefyd yn ysgrifenyddion, swyddogion a phorthorion.

¹³and over the burden-bearers, and overseers of every one doing work for service and service; and of the Levites [are] scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.

¹⁴ Wrth iddynt ddwyn allan yr arian a ddygwyd i du375?'r ARGLWYDD, darganfu Hilceia'r offeiriad lyfr cyfraith yr ARGLWYDD, a roddwyd trwy Moses.

¹⁴And in their bringing out the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, hath Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah by the hand of Moses,

¹⁵ Dywedodd Hilceia wrth Saffan yr ysgrifennydd, "Cefais lyfr y gyfraith yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD." A rhoddodd y llyfr i Saffan.

¹⁵and Hilkiah answereth and saith unto Shaphan the scribe, `A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan,

¹⁶ Aeth Saffan �'r llyfr at y brenin a'r un pryd rhoi adroddiad iddo a dweud, "Y mae dy weision yn gwneud y cwbl a orchmynnwyd iddynt.

¹⁶and Shaphan bringeth in the book unto the king, and bringeth the king back word again, saying, `All that hath been given into the hand of thy servants they are doing,

¹⁷ Y maent wedi cyfrif yr arian oedd yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD ac wedi ei drosglwyddo i'r ymgymerwyr a'r gweithwyr."

¹⁷and they pour out the money that is found in the house of Jehovah, and give it into the hand of those appointed, and into the hands of those doing the work.'

¹⁸ Ac ychwanegodd Saffan yr ysgrifennydd wrth y brenin, "Rhoddodd Hilceia'r offeiriad lyfr imi"; a darllenodd Saffan ef i'r brenin.

¹⁸And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, `A book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth in it before the king.

¹⁹ Pan glywodd y brenin gynnwys y gyfraith, rhwygodd ei ddillad,

¹⁹And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the law, that he rendeth his garments,

²⁰ a gorchmynnodd i Hilceia ac i Ahicam fab Saffan, ac i Abdon fab Nicha, ac i Saffan yr ysgrifennydd ac i Asaia gwas y brenin,

²⁰and the king commandeth Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, servant of the king, saying,

²¹ "Ewch i ymgynghori �'r ARGLWYDD ar fy rhan, ac ar ran pawb sydd ar �l yn Israel a Jwda, ynglu375?n � chynnwys y llyfr a ddaeth i'r golwg; oherwydd y mae llid yr ARGLWYDD yn fawr, ac wedi ei ennyn yn ein herbyn am na chadwodd ein hynafiaid air yr ARGLWYDD na gwneud yr hyn a ysgrifennwyd yn y llyfr hwn."

²¹`Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for him who is left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is poured on us, because that our fathers kept not the word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written on this book.'

²² Yna aeth Hilceia, a'r rhai a orchmynnodd y brenin, at y broffwydes Hulda, gwraig Salum fab Ticfa, fab Hasra, ceidwad y gwisgoedd. Yr oedd hi'n byw yn yr Ail Barth yn Jerwsalem; ac wedi iddynt ddweud eu neges,

²²And Hilkiah goeth, and they of the king, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the Second, and they speak unto her thus.

²³ dywedodd hi wrthynt, "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel. Dywedwch wrth y gu373?r a'ch anfonodd ataf,

²³And she saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me,

²⁴ 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Yr wyf yn dwyn drwg ar y lle hwn a'i drigolion, sef yr holl felltithion sy'n ysgrifenedig yn y llyfr a ddarllenwyd yng ngu373?ydd brenin Jwda,

²⁴Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, all the execrations that are written on the book that they read before the king of Judah;

²⁵ am eu bod wedi fy ngwrthod ac wedi arogldarthu i dduwiau eraill, i'm digio ym mhopeth a wn�nt; y mae fy nig wedi ei ennyn yn erbyn y lle hwn, ac nis diffoddir.'

²⁵because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me with all the works of their hands, and poured out is My fury upon this place, and it is not quenched.

²⁶ Dyma a ddywedwch wrth frenin Jwda, a'ch anfonodd i ymgynghori �'r ARGLWYDD: 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, ynglu375?n �'r geiriau a glywaist:

²⁶`And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to inquire of Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him: Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, whose words thou hast heard:

²⁷ Am i'th galon dyneru ac iti ymostwng o flaen Duw pan glywaist ei eiriau am y lle hwn a'i drigolion, am iti ymostwng ac wylo o'i flaen, a rhwygo dy ddillad, yr wyf finnau wedi gwrando, medd yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁷Because thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled before God in thy hearing His words concerning this place, and concerning its inhabitants, and art humbled before Me, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me: even I also have heard -- the affirmation of Jehovah.

²⁸ Am hynny pan fyddi farw, dygir di i'r bedd mewn heddwch, ac ni w�l dy lygaid yr holl ddrwg a ddygaf ar y lle hwn a'i drigolion.'" Dygasant hwythau'r ateb i'r brenin.

²⁸Lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy graves in peace, and thine eyes do not look on all the evil that I am bringing upon this place, and upon its inhabitants;' and they bring the king back word.

²⁹ Yna anfonodd y brenin a chasglu ynghyd holl henuriaid Jwda a Jerwsalem;

²⁹And the king sendeth and gathereth all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,

³⁰ ac aeth i fyny i du375?'r ARGLWYDD, a holl bobl Jwda a thrigolion Jerwsalem gydag ef, a hefyd yr offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid a phawb o'r bobl, o'r lleiaf hyd y mwyaf. Yna darllenodd yn eu clyw holl gynnwys y llyfr cyfamod a gaed yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD.

³⁰and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even unto small, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.

³¹ Safodd y brenin wrth ei golofn, a gwnaeth gyfamod o flaen yr ARGLWYDD i ddilyn yr ARGLWYDD ac i gadw ei orchmynion a'i dystiolaethau a'i ddeddfau �'i holl galon ac �'i holl enaid, ac i gyflawni geiriau'r cyfamod a ysgrifennwyd yn y llyfr hwn.

³¹And the king standeth on his station, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this book.

³² Gwnaeth i bawb oedd yn byw yn Jerwsalem a Benjamin gadw'r cyfamod. Yna cadwodd trigolion Jerwsalem gyfamod Duw, Duw eu hynafiaid.

³²And he presenteth every one who is found in Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem do according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

³³ Felly tynnodd Joseia ymaith bob ffieidd�dra o'r holl diriogaeth oedd yn perthyn i'r Israeliaid, a gwnaeth i bawb oedd yn byw yn Israel wasanaethu'r ARGLWYDD eu Duw. Yn ei gyfnod ef ni throesant oddi ar �l yr ARGLWYDD, Duw eu hynafiaid.

³³And Josiah turneth aside all the abominations out of all the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causeth every one who is found in Israel to serve, to serve Jehovah their God; all his days they turned not aside from after Jehovah, God of their fathers.
