¹ Yn y bedwaredd flwyddyn ar ddeg o deyrnasiad Heseceia, ymosododd Senacherib brenin Asyria ar holl ddinasoedd caerog Jwda a'u goresgyn.

¹And it cometh to pass, in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, come up hath Sennacherib king of Asshur against all the fenced cities of Judah, and seizeth them.

² Ac anfonodd brenin Asyria y prif swyddog � byddin gref o Lachis i Jerwsalem at y Brenin Heseceia; ac fe safodd wrth bistyll y Llyn Uchaf, sydd gerllaw priffordd Maes y Pannwr.

²And the king of Asshur sendeth Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, unto the king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, and he standeth by the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller`s field,

³ Daeth Eliacim fab Hilceia, arolygwr y palas, ato i'r fan honno, a chydag ef Sebna yr ysgrifennydd a Joa fab Asaff, y cofiadur.

³and go forth unto him doth Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer.

⁴ Dywedodd y prif swyddog wrthynt, "Dywedwch wrth Heseceia mai dyma neges yr ymerawdwr, brenin Asyria: 'Beth yw sail yr hyder hwn sydd gennyt?

⁴And Rabshakeh saith unto them, `Say ye, I pray you, unto Hezekiah, `Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur, What [is] this confidence in which thou hast confided?

⁵ A wyt ti'n meddwl bod geiriau yn gwneud y tro ar gyfer rhyfel, yn lle cynllun a nerth? Ar bwy, ynteu, yr wyt yn dibynnu wrth godi gwrthryfel yn f'erbyn?

⁵I have said: Only, a word of the lips! counsel and might [are] for battle: now, on whom hast thou trusted, that thou hast rebelled against me?

⁶ Ai'r Aifft � ffon o gorsen wedi ei hysigo, sy'n rhwygo ac anafu llaw y sawl sy'n pwyso arni? Un felly yw Pharo brenin yr Aifft i bwy bynnag sy'n dibynnu arno.

⁶`Lo, thou hast trusted on the staff of this broken reed — on Egypt — which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone into his hand, and pierced it — so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.

⁷ Neu os dywedi wrthyf, "Yr ydym yn dibynnu ar yr ARGLWYDD ein Duw", onid ef yw'r un y tynnodd Heseceia ei uchelfeydd a'i allorau, a dweud wrth Jwda a Jerwsalem, "O flaen yr allor hon yr addolwch"?

⁷`And dost thou say unto me, Unto Jehovah our God we have trusted? is it not He, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath turned aside, and saith to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar ye do bow yourselves?

⁸ Yn awr, beth am daro bargen gyda'm meistr, brenin Asyria? Rhof ddwy fil o feirch iti, os gelli di gael marchogion iddynt.

⁸`And now, negotiate, I pray thee, with my lord the king of Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if thou art able to put for thee riders on them.

⁹ Neu sut y gelli wrthod un capten o blith gweision lleiaf fy meistr, a dibynnu ar yr Aifft am gerbydau a marchogion?

⁹And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, and dost trust for thee on Egypt, for chariot and for horsemen?

¹⁰ Heblaw hyn, ai heb yr ARGLWYDD y deuthum i fyny yn erbyn y wlad hon i'w dinistrio? Yr ARGLWYDD a ddywedodd wrthyf, "Dos i fyny yn erbyn y wlad hon, a dinistria hi".'"

¹⁰And now, without Jehovah have I come up against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up unto this land, and thou hast destroyed it.`

¹¹ Dywedodd Eliacim a Sebna a Joa wrth y prif swyddog, "Gwell gennym iti siarad � ni yn Aramaeg, oherwydd yr ydym yn ei deall, a pheidio � siarad yn Hebraeg yng nghlyw'r bobl sydd ar y mur."

¹¹And Eliakim saith — and Shebna and Joah — unto Rabshakeh, `Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants [in] Aramaean, for we are understanding; and do not speak unto us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.`

¹² Ond atebodd y prif swyddog, "Ai at dy feistr a thithau yr anfonodd fy meistr fi i ddweud fy neges, yn hytrach nag at y bobl sydd ar y mur, a fydd, fel chwithau, yn bwyta eu tom ac yn yfed eu du373?r eu hunain?"

¹²And Rabshakeh saith, `Unto thy lord, and unto thee, hath my lord sent me to speak these words? is it not for the men — those sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and to drink their own water with you?`

¹³ Yna fe safodd y prif swyddog a gweiddi'n uchel mewn Hebraeg, "Clywch eiriau'r ymerawdwr, brenin Asyria;

¹³And Rabshakeh standeth and calleth with a great voice [in] Jewish, and saith, `Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Asshur:

¹⁴ dyma y mae'n ei ddweud: 'Peidiwch � gadael i Heseceia eich twyllo; ni all ef eich gwaredu.

¹⁴Thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you;

¹⁵ Peidiwch � chymryd eich perswadio ganddo i ddibynnu ar yr ARGLWYDD pan yw'n dweud, "Bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn siu373?r o'n gwaredu, ac ni roddir y ddinas hon i afael brenin Asyria."

¹⁵and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying, Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.

¹⁶ Peidiwch � gwrando ar Heseceia.' Dyma eiriau brenin Asyria: 'Gwnewch delerau heddwch � mi; dewch allan ataf; ac yna caiff pob un fwyta o'i winwydden ac o'i ffigysbren, ac yfed du373?r o'i ffynnon ei hun,

¹⁶`Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur, Make ye with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and eat ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye each the waters of his own well,

¹⁷ nes i mi ddod i'ch dwyn i wlad debyg i'ch gwlad eich hun, gwlad u375?d a gwin, gwlad bara a gwinllannoedd.

¹⁷till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards;

¹⁸ Cymerwch ofal rhag i Heseceia eich hudo chwi trwy ddweud, "Bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn ein gwaredu." A yw duw unrhyw un o'r cenhedloedd wedi gwaredu ei wlad o afael brenin Asyria?

¹⁸lest Hezekiah doth persuade you, saying, Jehovah doth deliver us. `Have the gods of the nations delivered each his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?

¹⁹ Ple mae duwiau Hamath ac Arpad? Ple mae duwiau Seffarfaim? A wnaethant hwy waredu Samaria o'm gafael?

¹⁹Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where the gods of Sepharvaim, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?

²⁰ Prun o holl dduwiau'r gwledydd hyn sydd wedi gwaredu ei wlad o'm gafael? Sut, ynteu, y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn mynd i waredu Jerwsalem o'm gafael?'"

²⁰Who among all the gods of these lands [are] they who have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?`

²¹ Cadw'n ddistaw a wnaeth y bobl, heb ateb gair, oherwydd yr oedd y brenin wedi rhoi gorchymyn nad oeddent i'w ateb.

²¹And they keep silent, and have not answered him a word, for a command of the king is, saying, `Do not answer him.`

²² Yna daeth Eliacim fab Hilceia, arolygwr y palas, a Sebna yr ysgrifennydd a Joa fab Asaff, y cofiadur, at Heseceia, a'u dillad wedi eu rhwygo, ac adrodd wrtho yr hyn yr oedd y prif swyddog wedi ei ddweud.

²²And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, cometh in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, unto Hezekiah with rent garments, and they declare to him the words of Rabshakeh.
