¹ Wyth mlwydd oed oedd Joseia pan ddaeth yn frenin, a theyrnasodd am un ar ddeg ar hugain o flynyddoedd yn Jerwsalem. Jedida merch Adaia o Boscath oedd enw ei fam.

¹A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Boskath,

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

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

³ Yn ei ddeunawfed flwyddyn anfonodd y Brenin Joseia ei ysgrifennydd Saffan fab Asaleia, fab Mesulam, i du375?'r ARGLWYDD a dweud,

³And it cometh to pass, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying,

⁴ "Dos at Hilceia yr archoffeiriad, er mwyn iddo gyfrif yr arian a ddygwyd i du375?'r ARGLWYDD ac a gasglodd ceidwaid y drws gan y bobl, i'w trosglwyddo i'r goruchwylwyr sy'n gofalu am du375?'r ARGLWYDD.

⁴`Go up unto Hilkiah the high priest, and he doth complete the silver that is brought into the house of Jehovah, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people,

⁵ Y maent i'w rhoi yn awr i'r goruchwylwyr ar du375?'r ARGLWYDD, a hwythau i'w rhoi i'r gweithwyr yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD, sy'n atgyweirio agennau'r tu375?,

⁵and they give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the overseers, in the house of Jehovah, and they give it to the doers of the work that [is] in the house of Jehovah, to strengthen the breach of the house,

⁶ i gael seiri ac adeiladwyr a seiri maen, ac i brynu coed a cherrig nadd i atgyweirio'r tu375?.

⁶to artificers, and to builders, and [to repairers of] the wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house;

⁷ Ond nid ydynt i roi cyfrif o'r arian a roddir i'w gofal, am eu bod yn gweithredu'n onest."

⁷only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are dealing.

⁸ Dywedodd yr archoffeiriad Hilceia wrth Saffan yr ysgrifennydd, "Cefais lyfr y gyfraith yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD." A rhoddodd y llyfr i Saffan i'w ddarllen.

⁸And Hilkiah the high priest 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, and he readeth it.

⁹ Yna aeth Saffan yr ysgrifennydd yn �l at y brenin, a dwyn adroddiad iddo, a dweud, "Y mae dy weision wedi cyfrif yr arian oedd yn y deml, ac wedi eu trosglwyddo i'r goruchwylwyr sy'n gofalu am du375?'r ARGLWYDD."

⁹And Shaphan the scribe cometh in unto the king, and bringeth the king back word, and saith, `Thy servants have poured out the silver that hath been found in the house, and give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the inspectors, in the house of Jehovah.`

¹⁰ Ac ychwanegodd, "Fe roddodd yr offeiriad Hilceia lyfr imi." Yna darllenodd Saffan ef i'r brenin.

¹⁰And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, `A book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;` and Shaphan readeth it before the king.

¹¹ Pan glywodd y brenin gynnwys llyfr y gyfraith, rhwygodd ei ddillad,

¹¹And it cometh to pass, at the king`s hearing the words of the book of the law, that he rendeth his garments,

¹² a gorchmynnodd i'r offeiriad Hilceia, ac i Ahicam fab Saffan, ac i Achbor fab Michaia, ac i'r ysgrifennydd Saffan, ac i Asaia gwas y brenin,

¹²and the king commandeth Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the king, saying,

¹³ "Ewch i ymgynghori �'r ARGLWYDD ar fy rhan, ac ar ran y bobl a holl Jwda, ynglu375?n � chynnwys y llyfr hwn a ddaeth i'r golwg; oherwydd y mae llid yr ARGLWYDD yn fawr, ac wedi ei ennyn yn ein herbyn am na wrandawodd ein hynafiaid ar eiriau'r llyfr hwn, na gwneud yr hyn a ysgrifennwyd ar ein cyfer."

¹³`Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according to all that is written for us.`

¹⁴ Aeth yr offeiriad Hilceia, ac Ahicam ac Achbor a Saffan ac Asaia, at y broffwydes Hulda, gwraig Salum fab Ticfa, fab Harhas, ceidwad y gwisgoedd. Yr oedd hi'n byw yn yr Ail Barth yn Jerwsalem; ac wedi iddynt ddweud eu neges,

¹⁴And Hilkiah the priest goeth, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second, and they speak unto her.

¹⁵ dywedodd hi wrthynt, "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel. Dywedwch wrth y sawl a'ch anfonodd ataf,

¹⁵And she saith unto them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me:

¹⁶ 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Yr wyf yn dwyn drwg ar y lle hwn a'i drigolion, popeth sydd yn y llyfr a ddarllenodd brenin Jwda,

¹⁶Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil unto this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read,

¹⁷ 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 nid oes a'i diffydd.'

¹⁷because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath hath been kindled against this place, and it is not quenched.

¹⁸ A 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:

¹⁸`And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The words that thou hast heard —

¹⁹ Am i'th galon dyneru, ac iti ymostwng o flaen yr ARGLWYDD pan glywaist fi'n dweud am y lle hwn a'i drigolion, y byddai'n ddifrod ac yn felltith, ac am iti rwygo dy ddillad ac wylo o'm blaen, yr wyf finnau wedi gwrando, medd yr ARGLWYDD.

¹⁹because thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled because of Jehovah, in thy hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me — I also have heard — the affirmation of Jehovah —

²⁰ Ac am hynny casglaf di at dy hynafiaid, a dygir di i'r bedd mewn heddwch, ac ni w�l dy lygaid y drwg a ddygaf ar y lle hwn.'" Dygasant hwythau'r ateb i'r brenin.

²⁰therefore, lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy grave in peace, and thine eyes do not look on any of the evil that I am bringing in on this place;` and they bring the king back word.
