¹ Gofynnodd yr archoffeiriad: "Ai felly y mae?"

¹And the chief priest said, `Are then these things so?`

² Meddai yntau: "Frodyr a thadau, clywch. Ymddangosodd Duw'r gogoniant i'n tad ni, Abraham, ac yntau yn Mesopotamia cyn iddo ymsefydlu yn Haran,

²and he said, `Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,

³ a dywedodd wrtho, 'Dos allan o'th wlad ac oddi wrth dy berthnasau, a thyrd i'r wlad a ddangosaf iti.'

³and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee.

⁴ Yna fe aeth allan o wlad y Chaldeaid, ac ymsefydlodd yn Haran. Oddi yno, wedi i'w dad farw, fe symudodd Duw ef i'r wlad hon, lle'r ydych chwi'n preswylio yn awr.

⁴`Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell,

⁵ Eto ni roes iddo etifeddiaeth ynddi, naddo, ddim troedfedd. Addo a wnaeth ei rhoi iddo ef i'w meddiannu, ac i'w ddisgynyddion ar ei �l, ac yntau heb blentyn.

⁵and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him — he having no child.

⁶ Llefarodd Duw fel hyn: 'Bydd ei ddisgynyddion yn alltudion mewn gwlad ddieithr, a ch�nt eu caethiwo a'u cam-drin am bedwar can mlynedd.

⁶`And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years,

⁷ Ac fe ddof fi � barn ar y genedl y byddant yn ei gwasanaethu,' meddai Duw, 'ac wedi hynny d�nt allan, ac addolant fi yn y lle hwn.'

⁷and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place.

⁸ A rhoddodd iddo gyfamod enwaediad. Felly, wedi geni iddo Isaac enwaedodd arno yr wythfed dydd. Ac i Isaac ganwyd Jacob, ac i Jacob y deuddeg patriarch.

⁸`And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob — the twelve patriarchs;

⁹ "Cenfigennodd y patriarchiaid wrth Joseff a'i werthu i'r Aifft. Ond yr oedd Duw gydag ef,

⁹and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,

¹⁰ ac achubodd ef o'i holl gyfyngderau, a rhoddodd iddo ffafr a doethineb yng ngolwg Pharo brenin yr Aifft, a gosododd yntau ef yn llywodraethwr dros yr Aifft a thros ei holl du375?.

¹⁰and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did set him — governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹¹ Daeth newyn ar yr Aifft i gyd ac ar Ganaan; yr oedd yn gyfyngder mawr, ac ni allai ein hynafiaid gael lluniaeth.

¹¹`And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,

¹² Ond clywodd Jacob fod bwyd yn yr Aifft, ac anfonodd ein tadau yno y tro cyntaf.

¹²and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;

¹³ Yr ail dro fe adnabuwyd Joseff gan ei frodyr, a daeth tylwyth Joseff yn hysbys i Pharo.

¹³and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph`s kindred became manifest to Pharaoh,

¹⁴ Anfonodd Joseff, a galw Jacob ei dad ato, a'i holl berthnasau yn saithdeg pump o bobl i gyd.

¹⁴and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and all his kindred — with seventy and five souls —

¹⁵ Ac aeth Jacob i lawr i'r Aifft. Bu farw ef a'n tadau,

¹⁵and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,

¹⁶ a symudwyd hwy yn �l i Sichem, a'u claddu yn y bedd yr oedd Abraham wedi ei brynu am arian gan feibion Emor yn Sichem.

¹⁶and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem.

¹⁷ "Fel yr oedd yr amser yn agos�u i gyflawni'r addewid yr oedd Duw wedi ei rhoi i Abraham, cynyddodd y bobl a lluosogi yn yr Aifft,

¹⁷`And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸ nes i frenin gwahanol godi ar yr Aifft, un na wyddai ddim am Joseff.

¹⁸till another king rose, who had not known Joseph;

¹⁹ Bu hwn yn ddichellgar wrth ein cenedl ni, gan gam�drin ein hynafiaid, a pheri bwrw eu babanod allan fel na chedwid mohonynt yn fyw.

¹⁹this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might not live;

²⁰ Y pryd hwnnw y ganwyd Moses, ac yr oedd yn blentyn cymeradwy yng ngolwg Duw. Magwyd ef am dri mis yn nhu375? ei dad,

²⁰in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up three months in the house of his father;

²¹ a phan fwriwyd ef allan, cymerodd merch Pharo ef ati, a'i fagu yn fab iddi hi ei hun.

²¹and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and did rear him to herself for a son;

²² Hyfforddwyd Moses yn holl ddoethineb yr Eifftwyr, ac yr oedd yn nerthol yn ei eiriau a'i weithredoedd.

²²and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.

²³ "Yn ystod ei ddeugeinfed flwyddyn, cododd awydd arno i ymweld �'i gyd-genedl, plant Israel.

²³`And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came upon his heart to look after his brethren, the sons of Israel;

²⁴ Pan welodd un ohonynt yn cael cam, fe'i hamddiffynnodd, a dialodd gam y dyn oedd dan orthrwm trwy daro'r Eifftiwr.

²⁴and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he did defend, and did justice to the oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian;

²⁵ Yr oedd yn tybio y byddai ei bobl ei hun yn deall fod Duw trwyddo ef yn rhoi gwaredigaeth iddynt. Ond nid oeddent yn deall.

²⁵and he was supposing his brethren to understand that God through his hand doth give salvation; and they did not understand.

²⁶ Trannoeth daeth ar draws dau ohonynt yn ymladd, a cheisiodd eu cymodi a chael heddwch, gan ddweud, 'Ddynion, brodyr ydych; pam y gwnewch gam �'ch gilydd?'

²⁶`On the succeeding day, also, he shewed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, brethren are ye, wherefore do ye injustice to one another?

²⁷ Ond dyma'r un oedd yn gwneud cam �'i gymydog yn ei wthio i ffwrdd, gan ddweud, 'Pwy a'th benododd di yn llywodraethwr ac yn farnwr arnom ni?

²⁷and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁸ A wyt ti am fy lladd i fel y lleddaist yr Eifftiwr ddoe?'

²⁸to kill me dost thou wish, as thou didst kill yesterday the Egyptian?

²⁹ A ffodd Moses ar y gair hwn, ac aeth yn alltud yn nhir Midian, lle y ganwyd iddo ddau fab.

²⁹`And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons,

³⁰ "Ymhen deugain mlynedd, fe ymddangosodd iddo yn anialwch Mynydd Sinai angel mewn fflam d�n mewn perth.

³⁰and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush,

³¹ Pan welodd Moses ef, bu ryfedd ganddo'r olygfa. Wrth iddo nesu i edrych yn fanwl, daeth llais yr Arglwydd:

³¹and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him,

³² 'Myfi yw Duw dy dadau, Duw Abraham a Duw Isaac a Duw Jacob.' Cafodd Moses fraw, ac ni feiddiai edrych.

³²I [am] the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. `And Moses having become terrified, durst not behold,

³³ Yna dywedodd yr Arglwydd wrtho, 'Datod dy sandalau oddi am dy draed, oherwydd y mae'r lle'r wyt yn sefyll arno yn dir sanctaidd.

³³and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground;

³⁴ Gwelais, do, gwelais sut y mae fy mhobl sydd yn yr Aifft yn cael eu cam�drin, a chlywais eu griddfan, a deuthum i lawr i'w gwaredu. Yn awr tyrd, imi gael dy anfon di i'r Aifft.'

³⁴seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt.

³⁵ Y Moses hwn, y gu373?r a wrthodasant gan ddweud, 'Pwy a'th benododd di yn llywodraethwr ac yn farnwr?' � hwnnw a anfonodd Duw yn llywodraethwr ac yn rhyddhawr, trwy law'r angel a ymddangosodd iddo yn y berth.

³⁵`This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush;

³⁶ Hwn a'u harweiniodd hwy allan, gan wneud rhyfeddodau ac arwyddion yng ngwlad yr Aifft ac yn y M�r Coch, ac am ddeugain mlynedd yn yr anialwch.

³⁶this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;

³⁷ Hwn yw'r Moses a ddywedodd wrth blant Israel, 'Bydd Duw yn codi i chwi o blith eich cyd-genedl broffwyd, fel y cododd fi.'

³⁷this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear.

³⁸ Hwn yw'r un a fu yn y gynulleidfa yn yr anialwch, gyda'r angel a lefarodd wrtho ar Fynydd Sinai a chyda'n hynafiaid ni. Derbyniodd ef oraclau byw i'w rhoi i chwi.

³⁸`This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us;

³⁹ Eithr ni fynnodd ein hynafiaid ymddarostwng iddo, ond ei wthio o'r ffordd a wnaethant, a throi'n �l yn eu calonnau at yr Aifft,

³⁹to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but did thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

⁴⁰ gan ddweud wrth Aaron, 'Gwna inni dduwiau i fynd o'n blaen; oherwydd y Moses yma, a ddaeth � ni allan o wlad yr Aifft, ni wyddom beth a ddigwyddodd iddo.'

⁴⁰saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who shall go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him.

⁴¹ Gwnaethant lo y pryd hwnnw, ac offrymu aberth i'r eilun, ac ymlawenhau yng nghynnyrch eu dwylo eu hunain.

⁴¹`And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,

⁴² A throes Duw ymaith, a'u rhoi i fyny i addoli s�r y nef, fel y mae'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr y proffwydi: 'A offrymasoch i mi laddedigion ac aberthau am ddeugain mlynedd yn yr anialwch, du375? Israel?

⁴²and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴³ Na yn wir, dyrchafasoch babell Moloch, a seren eich duw Raiffan, y delwau a wnaethoch i'w haddoli. Alltudiaf chwi y tu hwnt i Fabilon.'

⁴³and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan — the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.

⁴⁴ "Yr oedd pabell y dystiolaeth gan ein hynafiaid yn yr anialwch, fel y gorchmynnodd yr hwn a lefarodd wrth Moses ei fod i'w llunio yn �l y patrwm yr oedd wedi ei weld.

⁴⁴`The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;

⁴⁵ Ac wedi ei derbyn yn eu tro, daeth ein hynafiaid � hi yma gyda Josua, wrth iddynt oresgyn y cenhedloedd a yrrodd Duw allan o'u blaenau. Ac felly y bu hyd ddyddiau Dafydd.

⁴⁵which also our fathers having in succession received, did bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the days of David,

⁴⁶ Cafodd ef ffafr gerbron Duw, a deisyfodd am gael tabernacl i du375? Jacob.

⁴⁶who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;

⁴⁷ Eithr Solomon oedd yr un a adeiladodd du375? iddo.

⁴⁷and Solomon built Him an house.

⁴⁸ Ond nid yw'r Goruchaf yn trigo mewn tai o waith llaw; fel y mae'r proffwyd yn dweud:

⁴⁸`But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith:

⁴⁹ 'Y nefoedd yw fy ngorsedd, a'r ddaear yw troedfainc fy nhraed. Pa fath du375? a adeiladwch imi, medd yr Arglwydd; ble fydd fy ngorffwysfa?

⁴⁹The heaven [is] My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what [is] the place of My rest?

⁵⁰ Onid fy llaw i a wnaeth y pethau hyn oll?'

⁵⁰hath not My hand made all these things?

⁵¹ "Chwi rai gwargaled a dienwaededig o galon a chlust, yr ydych chwi yn wastad yn gwrthwynebu'r Ysbryd Gl�n; fel eich hynafiaid, felly chwithau.

⁵¹`Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers — also ye;

⁵² Prun o'r proffwydi na fu'ch hynafiaid yn ei erlid? Ie, lladdasant y rhai a ragfynegodd ddyfodiad yr Un Cyfiawn. A chwithau yn awr, bradwyr a llofruddion fuoch iddo ef,

⁵²which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become,

⁵³ chwi y rhai a dderbyniodd y Gyfraith yn �l cyfarwyddyd angylion, ac eto ni chadwasoch mohoni."

⁵³who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].`

⁵⁴ Wrth glywed y pethau hyn aethant yn ffyrnig yn eu calonnau, ac ysgyrnygu eu dannedd arno.

⁵⁴And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him;

⁵⁵ Yn llawn o'r Ysbryd Gl�n, syllodd Steffan tua'r nef a gwelodd ogoniant Duw, ac Iesu'n sefyll ar ddeheulaw Duw,

⁵⁵and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁶ a dywedodd, "Edrychwch, 'rwy'n gweld y nefoedd yn agored, a Mab y Dyn yn sefyll ar ddeheulaw Duw."

⁵⁶and he said, `Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.`

⁵⁷ Rhoesant hwythau waedd uchel, a chau eu clustiau, a rhuthro'n unfryd arno,

⁵⁷And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and did rush with one accord upon him,

⁵⁸ a'i fwrw allan o'r ddinas, a mynd ati i'w labyddio. Dododd y tystion eu dillad wrth draed dyn ifanc o'r enw Saul.

⁵⁸and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him] — and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul —

⁵⁹ Ac wrth iddynt ei labyddio, yr oedd Steffan yn galw, "Arglwydd Iesu, derbyn fy ysbryd."

⁵⁹and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, `Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;`

⁶⁰ Yna penliniodd, a gwaeddodd � llais uchel, "Arglwydd, paid � dal y pechod hwn yn eu herbyn." Ac wedi dweud hynny, fe hunodd.

⁶⁰and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;` and this having said, he fell asleep.
