1 Dyma enwau meibion Israel a aeth i'r Aifft gyda Jacob, pob un gyda'i deulu:
1And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who are coming into Egypt with Jacob; a man and his household have they come;
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 persons coming out of the thigh of Jacob are seventy persons; as to Joseph, he was in Egypt.
6 Yna bu farw Joseff a phob un o'i frodyr a'r holl genhedlaeth honno.
6And Joseph dieth, 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 sons of Israel have been fruitful, and they teem, and multiply, and are very very mighty, and the land is filled with them.
8 Yna daeth brenin newydd i deyrnasu ar yr Aifft, un nad oedd yn gwybod am Joseff.
8And there riseth a new king over Egypt, who hath not known Joseph,
9 Dywedodd ef wrth ei bobl, "Edrychwch, y mae pobl Israel yn fwy niferus ac yn gryfach na ni.
9and he saith unto his people, `Lo, the people of the sons of Israel [is] more numerous and mighty 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."
10give help! let us act wisely concerning it, lest it multiply, and it hath come to pass, when war happeneth, that it hath been joined, even it, unto those hating us, and hath fought against us, and hath gone out up 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.
11And they set over it princes of tribute, so as to afflict it with their burdens, and it buildeth store-cities for Pharaoh, 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.
12and as they afflict it, so it multiplieth, and so it breaketh forth, and they are vexed because of the sons of Israel;
13 Am hynny, gorfodwyd i'r Israeliaid weithio dan ormes,
13and the Egyptians cause the sons of Israel to serve with rigour,
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 make their lives bitter in hard service, in clay, and in brick, and in every [kind] of service in the field; all their service in which they have served [is] with rigour.
15 Yna dywedodd brenin yr Aifft wrth Siffra a Pua, dwy fydwraig yr Hebreaid,
15And the king of Egypt speaketh to the midwives, the Hebrewesses, (of whom the name of the one [is] Shiphrah, and the name of the second 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 saith, `When ye cause the Hebrew women to bear, and have looked on the children; if it [is] a son — then ye have put him to death; and if it [is] a daughter — then she hath lived.`
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.
17And the midwives fear God, and have not done as the king of Egypt hath spoken unto them, and keep the lads 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 calleth for the midwives, and saith to them, `Wherefore have ye done this thing, and keep the lads 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 say unto Pharaoh, `Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively; before the midwife cometh in unto them — they have borne!`
20 Am hynny bu Duw yn dda wrth y bydwragedd; a chynyddodd y bobl a dod yn rymus iawn.
20And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;
21 Am fod y bydwragedd yn parchu Duw, cawsant hwy eu hunain deuluoedd.
21and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;
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 layeth a charge on all his people, saying, `Every son who is born — into the River ye do cast him, and every daughter ye do keep alive.`
