¹ Dyma'r gair a ddaeth at Jeremeia oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD:

¹The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

² "Cod a dos i lawr i du375?'r crochenydd; yno y paraf i ti glywed fy ngeiriau."

²Rise, and thou hast gone down [to] the potter`s house, and there I cause thee to hear My words;

³ Euthum i lawr i du375?'r crochenydd, a'i gael yn gweithio ar y droell.

³and I go down [to] the potter`s house, and lo, he is doing a work on the stones,

⁴ A difwynwyd yn llaw'r crochenydd y llestr pridd yr oedd yn ei lunio, a gwnaeth ef yr eildro yn llestr gwahanol, fel y gwelai'n dda.

⁴and marred is the vessel that he is making, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he hath turned and he maketh it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.

⁵ Yna daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD ataf,

⁵And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying:

⁶ "Oni allaf fi eich trafod chwi, tu375? Israel, fel y mae'r crochenydd hwn yn ei wneud �'r clai?" medd yr ARGLWYDD. "Fel clai yn llaw'r crochenydd, felly yr ydych chwi yn fy llaw i, tu375? Israel.

⁶As this potter am I not able to do to you? O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah. Lo, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] ye in My hand, O house of Israel.

⁷ Ar unrhyw funud gallaf benderfynu diwreiddio a thynnu i lawr, a difetha cenedl neu deyrnas.

⁷The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,

⁸ Ac os bydd y genedl honno y lleferais yn ei herbyn yn troi oddi wrth ei drygioni, gallaf ailfeddwl am y drwg a fwriedais iddi.

⁸And that nation hath turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have repented of the evil that I thought to do to it.

⁹ Ar unrhyw funud gallaf benderfynu adeiladu a phlannu cenedl neu deyrnas,

⁹And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,

¹⁰ ond os gwna'r genedl honno ddrygioni yn fy ngolwg, a gwrthod gwrando arnaf, gallaf ailfeddwl am y da a addewais iddi.

¹⁰And it hath done the evil thing in Mine eyes, So as not to hearken to My voice, Then I have repented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.

¹¹ Yn awr dywed wrth bobl Jwda ac wrth breswylwyr Jerwsalem, 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Wele fi'n llunio drwg yn eich erbyn, ac yn cynllunio yn eich erbyn. Dychwelwch, yn wir, bob un o'i ffordd ddrwg, a gwella'ch ffyrdd a'ch gweithredoedd.'

¹¹And now, speak, I pray thee, unto men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, Saying: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am framing against you evil, And devising against you a device, Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way And amen your ways and your doings.

¹² Ond dywedant hwy, 'Y mae pethau wedi mynd yn rhy bell. Dilynwn ein bwriadau ein hunain, a gweithredwn bob un yn �l ystyfnigrwydd ei galon ddrygionus.'"

¹²And they have said, It is incurable, For after our own devices we do go, And each the stubbornness of his evil heart we do.

¹³ Am hynny, fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: "Ymofynnwch ymhlith y cenhedloedd, pwy a glywodd ddim tebyg i hyn. Gwnaeth y forwyn Israel beth erchyll iawn.

¹³Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ask, I pray you, among the nations, Who hath heard like these? A very horrible thing hath the virgin of Israel done.

¹⁴ A gilia eira Lebanon oddi ar greigiau'r llethrau? A sychir dyfroedd yr ucheldir, sy'n ffrydiau oerion?

¹⁴Doth snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Failed are the cold strange waters that flow?

¹⁵ Ond mae fy mhobl wedi f'anghofio, ac wedi arogldarthu i dduwiau gau a barodd iddynt dramgwyddo yn eu ffyrdd, yr hen rodfeydd, a cherdded llwybrau mewn ffyrdd heb eu trin.

¹⁵But My people have forgotten Me, to a vain thing they make perfume, And they cause them to stumble in their ways — paths of old, To walk in paths — a way not raised up,

¹⁶ Gwnaethant eu tir yn anghyfannedd, i rai chwibanu drosto hyd byth; bydd pob un sy'n mynd heibio iddo yn synnu, ac yn ysgwyd ei ben.

¹⁶To make their land become a desolation, A hissing age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth with his head.

¹⁷ Fel gwynt y dwyrain y chwalaf hwy o flaen y gelyn; yn nydd eu trychineb dangosaf iddynt fy ngwegil, nid fy wyneb."

¹⁷As an east wind I scatter them before an enemy, The neck, and not the face, I shew them, In the day of their calamity.`

¹⁸ A dywedodd y bobl, "Dewch, gwnawn gynllwyn yn erbyn Jeremeia; ni chiliodd cyfarwyddyd oddi wrth yr offeiriad, na chyngor oddi wrth y doeth, na gair oddi wrth y proffwyd; dewch, gadewch inni ei faeddu �'r tafod, a pheidio ag ystyried yr un o'i eiriau."

¹⁸And they say, Come, And we devise against Jeremiah devices, For law doth not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we smite him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.

¹⁹ Ystyria fi, O ARGLWYDD, a chlyw beth y mae f'achwynwyr yn ei ddweud.

¹⁹Give attention, O Jehovah, unto me, And hearken to the voice of those contending with me.

²⁰ A ad-delir drwg am dda? Cloddiasant bwll ar fy nghyfer. Cofia imi sefyll o'th flaen, i lefaru'n dda amdanynt ac i droi ymaith dy ddig oddi wrthynt.

²⁰Is evil recompensed instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before Thee to speak good of them, To turn back Thy wrath from them.

²¹ Am hynny rho'u plant i'r newyn, lladder hwy trwy rym y cleddyf; bydded eu gwragedd yn weddwon di-blant, a'u gwu375?r yn farw gelain, a'u gwu375?r ifainc wedi eu taro �'r cleddyf mewn rhyfel.

²¹Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men smitten by sword in battle,

²² Bydded i waedd godi o'u tai, am i'r ysbeiliwr ddod yn ddisymwth ar eu gwarthaf; canys cloddiasant bwll i'm dal, a chuddio maglau i'm traed.

²²A cry is heard from their houses, For Thou bringest against them suddenly a troop, For they dug a pit to capture me, And snares they have hidden for my feet.

²³ Ond yr wyt ti, O ARGLWYDD, yn gwybod am eu holl gynllwyn yn f'erbyn, i'm lladd. Paid � maddau iddynt eu camwedd, na dileu eu pechod o'th u373?ydd. Bydded iddynt faglu o'th flaen; delia � hwy yn awr dy ddigofaint.

²³And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, Thou dost not cover over their iniquity, Nor their sin from before Thee blottest out, And they are made to stumble before Thee, In the time of Thine anger work against them!
