¹ Ond wedi i'r proffwydi, Haggai a Sechareia fab Ido, broffwydo yn enw Duw Israel i'r Iddewon yn Jwda a Jerwsalem,

¹And prophesied have the prophets, (Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo) unto the Jews who [are] in Judah and in Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel — unto them.

² dechreuodd Sorobabel fab Salathiel a Jesua fab Josadac ailadeiladu tu375? Dduw yn Jerwsalem; ac yr oedd proffwydi Duw gyda hwy yn eu cefnogi.

²Then have Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting them.

³ Ond ar unwaith daeth Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Setharbosnai a'u cefnogwyr atynt a gofyn, "Pwy a roes ganiat�d i chwi ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn a gorffen ei goedio?"

³At that time come to them hath Tatnai, governor beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they are saying to them, `Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?`

⁴ Gofynasant hefyd, "Beth yw enwau'r rhai sy'n codi'r adeilad hwn?"

⁴Then thus we have said to them, `What [are] the names of the men who are building this building?`

⁵ Ond yr oedd eu Duw yn gofalu am henuriaid yr Iddewon, ac ni chawsant eu rhwystro nes i adroddiad fynd at Dareius ac iddynt gael ateb ar y mater.

⁵And the eye of their God hath been upon the elders of the Jews, and they have not caused them to cease till the matter goeth to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning this thing.

⁶ Dyma gopi o'r llythyr a anfonodd Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Setharbosnai a'u cefnogwyr, penaethiaid Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, at y Brenin Dareius.

⁶The copy of a letter that Tatnai, governor beyond the river, hath sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, unto Darius the king.

⁷ A dyma'r adroddiad ysgrifenedig a anfonwyd: "I'r Brenin Dareius, cyfarchion!

⁷A letter they have sent unto him, and thus is it written in it:

⁸ Bydded hysbys i'r brenin i ni fynd i dalaith Jwda, a gweld tu375?'r Duw mawr yn cael ei adeiladu � cherrig enfawr, gyda choed yn y muriau; y mae'r gwaith yn mynd rhagddo ac yn llwyddo dan ofal henuriaid yr Iddewon.

⁸`To Darius the king, all peace! be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.

⁹ Yna gofynasom i'r henuriaid, 'Pwy a roes ganiat�d i chwi ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn a gorffen ei goedio?'

⁹Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?

¹⁰ Gofynasom hefyd iddynt am eu henwau fel y medrem gofnodi enwau eu harweinwyr a rhoi gwybod i ti.

¹⁰And also their names we have asked of them, to let thee know, that we might write the names of the men who [are] at their head.

¹¹ A dyma'r ateb a gawsom: 'Gweision Duw nef a daear ydym ni, ac yr ydym yn ailadeiladu tu375? a godwyd lawer o flynyddoedd yn �l; un o frenhinoedd enwog Israel a'i cododd a'i orffen.

¹¹`And thus they have returned us word, saying, We [are] servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was built many years before this, that a great king of Israel built and finished:

¹² Ond am i'n hynafiaid ddigio Duw'r nefoedd, rhoddodd ef hwy i Nebuchadnesar y Caldead, brenin Babilon; dinistriodd yntau'r tu375? hwn a chaethgludo'r bobl i Fabilon.

¹²but after that our fathers made the God of heaven angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he removed to Babylon;

¹³ Ond ym mlwyddyn gyntaf ei deyrnasiad, rhoes Cyrus brenin Babilon orchymyn i ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn.

¹³but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God,

¹⁴ Yr oedd llestri aur ac arian yn perthyn i du375? Dduw; dygodd Nebuchadnesar hwy o'r deml yn Jerwsalem a'u rhoi yn nheml Babilon, ond cymerodd y Brenin Cyrus hwy o'r deml ym Mabilon a'u rhoi i u373?r o'r enw Sesbassar, a oedd wedi ei benodi'n llywodraethwr.

¹⁴and also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, them hath Cyrus the king brought forth out of the temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one], Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he made governor,

¹⁵ Dywedodd wrtho, "Cymer y llestri yma, a dos � hwy i'r deml sydd yn Jerwsalem, a bydded i du375? Dduw gael ei adeiladu ar ei hen safle."

¹⁵and said to him, These vessels lift up, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is builded on its place.

¹⁶ Yna daeth Sesbassar a gosod sylfeini tu375? Dduw yn Jerwsalem; a bu adeiladu o'r amser hwnnw hyd yn awr, ond nid yw wedi ei orffen.'

¹⁶Then hath this Sheshbazzar come — he hath laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from thence even till now it hath been building, and is not finished.

¹⁷ Felly, os cytuna'r brenin, chwilier yn yr archifau brenhinol ym Mabilon i weld a roes y Brenin Cyrus orchymyn i ailadeiladu'r deml hon yn Jerwsalem. Anfoner i ni ddyfarniad y brenin ynglu375?n �'r mater."

¹⁷`And now, if to the king it be good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon, whether it be that of Cyrus the king there was made a decree to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king concerning this thing he doth send unto us.`
