¹ Clywodd Seffateia fab Mattan, Gedaleia fab Pasur, Jucal fab Selemeia, a Pasur fab Malcheia y geiriau yr oedd Jeremeia'n eu llefaru wrth yr holl bobl, gan ddweud,

¹And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear the words that Jeremiah is speaking unto all the people, saying,

² "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Pwy bynnag fydd yn aros yn y ddinas hon, fe fydd farw trwy gleddyf, newyn a haint; ond pwy bynnag fydd yn mynd allan at y Caldeaid, bydd hwnnw fyw; bydd yn arbed ei fywyd ac yn byw.'

²`Thus said Jehovah: He who is remaining in this city dieth, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth unto the Chaldeans liveth, and his soul hath been to him for a prey, and he liveth.

³ Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Yn ddiau rhoir y ddinas hon yng ngafael llu brenin Babilon, a bydd ef yn ei hennill.'"

³Thus said Jehovah: This city is certainly given into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he hath captured it.`

⁴ Yna dywedodd y swyddogion wrth y brenin, "Atolwg, rhodder y dyn hwn i farwolaeth; oblegid y mae'n gwanhau dwylo gweddill y milwyr sydd yn y ddinas hon, a phawb o'r bobl, trwy lefaru fel hyn wrthynt. Nid yw'r dyn yn meddwl am les y bobl hyn, ond am eu niwed."

⁴And the heads say unto the king, `Let, we pray thee, this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war, who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking unto them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its evil.`

⁵ Atebodd y Brenin Sedeceia, "Y mae yn eich dwylo chwi; ni ddichon y brenin wneud dim i'ch gwrthwynebu yn y mater."

⁵And the king Zedekiah saith, `Lo, he [is] in your hand: for the king is not able for you [in] anything.`

⁶ A chymerasant Jeremeia, a'i fwrw i bydew Malcheia, mab y brenin, yng nghyntedd y gwylwyr; gollyngasant Jeremeia i lawr wrth raffau. Nid oedd du373?r yn y pydew, dim ond llaid, a suddodd Jeremeia yn y llaid.

⁶And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison, and they send down Jeremiah with cords; and in the pit there is no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sinketh in the mire.

⁷ Clywodd Ebed-melech yr Ethiopiad, eunuch ym mhlasty'r brenin, eu bod wedi rhoi Jeremeia yn y pydew. Yr oedd y brenin yn eistedd ym mhorth Benjamin,

⁷And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the king`s house, heareth that they have put Jeremiah into the pit; and the king is sitting at the gate of Benjamin,

⁸ ac aeth Ebed-melech allan o'r plasty at y brenin a dweud,

⁸and Ebed-Melech goeth forth from the king`s house, and speaketh unto the king, saying,

⁹ "F'arglwydd frenin, gwnaeth y gwu375?r hyn ddrwg ym mhob peth a wnaethant i'r proffwyd Jeremeia, trwy ei fwrw i'r pydew; bydd farw yn y lle gan y newyn, am nad oes bara mwyach yn y ddinas."

⁹`My lord, O king, these men have done evil [in] all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit, and he dieth in his place because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.`

¹⁰ Yna gorchmynnodd y brenin i Ebed-melech yr Ethiopiad, "Cymer gyda thi dri o wu375?r, a chodi'r proffwyd Jeremeia o'r pydew cyn iddo farw."

¹⁰And the king commandeth Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, `Take with thee from this thirty men, and thou hast brought up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dieth.`

¹¹ Cymerodd Ebed-melech y gwu375?r ac aeth i'r ystafell wisgo yn y plasty, a chymryd oddi yno hen garpiau a hen fratiau, a'u gollwng i lawr wrth raffau at Jeremeia yn y pydew.

¹¹And Ebed-Melech taketh the men with him, and entereth the house of the king, unto the place of the treasury, and taketh thence worn-out clouts, and worn-out rags, and sendeth them unto Jeremiah unto the pit by cords.

¹² A dywedodd Ebed-melech yr Ethiopiad wrth Jeremeia, "Gosod yr hen garpiau a'r bratiau dan dy geseiliau o dan y rhaffau." Gwnaeth Jeremeia felly.

¹²And Ebed-Melech the Cushite saith unto Jeremiah, `Put, I pray thee, the worn-out clouts and rags under thine arm-holes, at the place of the cords,` and Jeremiah doth so,

¹³ A thynasant Jeremeia i fyny wrth y rhaffau, a'i godi o'r pydew. Wedi hyn arhosodd Jeremeia yng nghyntedd y gwylwyr.

¹³and they draw out Jeremiah with cords, and bring him up out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court of the prison.

¹⁴ Anfonodd y Brenin Sedeceia i gyrchu'r proffwyd Jeremeia ato yn y trydydd cyntedd i du375?'r ARGLWYDD, a dywedodd wrth Jeremeia, "Yr wyf am ofyn rhywbeth i ti; paid � chelu dim oddi wrthyf."

¹⁴And the king Zedekiah sendeth, and taketh Jeremiah the prophet unto him, unto the third entrance that [is] in the house of Jehovah, and the king saith unto Jeremiah, `I am asking thee a thing, do not hide from me anything.`

¹⁵ Dywedodd Jeremeia wrth Sedeceia, "Os mynegaf i ti, oni roi fi i farwolaeth? Os rhof gyngor i ti, ni wrandewi arnaf."

¹⁵And Jeremiah saith unto Zedekiah, `When I declare to thee, dost thou not surely put me to death? and when I counsel thee, thou dost not hearken unto me.`

¹⁶ Ond tyngodd y Brenin Sedeceia wrth Jeremeia yn gyfrinachol, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD, a roes einioes inni, yn fyw, ni'th rof i farwolaeth, na'th roi yng ngafael y rhai hyn sy'n ceisio dy einioes."

¹⁶And the king Zedekiah sweareth unto Jeremiah in secret, saying, `Jehovah liveth, He who made for us this soul, I do not put thee to death, nor give thee unto the hand of these men who are seeking thy soul.`

¹⁷ Yna dywedodd Jeremeia wrth Sedeceia, "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw'r Lluoedd, Duw Israel: 'Os ei allan ac ymostwng i swyddogion brenin Babilon, yna byddi fyw, ac ni losgir y ddinas hon � th�n; byddi fyw, ti a'th dylwyth.

¹⁷And Jeremiah saith unto Zedekiah, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel: If thou dost certainly go forth unto the heads of the king of Babylon, then hath thy soul lived, and this city is not burned with fire, yea, thou hast lived, thou and thy house.

¹⁸ Os nad ei allan at swyddogion brenin Babilon, rhoir y ddinas hon yng ngafael y Caldeaid, ac fe'i llosgant hi � th�n, ac ni fyddi dithau'n dianc o'u gafael.'"

¹⁸And if thou dost not go forth unto the heads of the king of Babylon, then hath this city been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they have burnt it with fire, and thou dost not escape from their hand.`

¹⁹ A dywedodd y Brenin Sedeceia wrth Jeremeia, "Y mae arnaf ofn yr Iddewon a drodd at y Caldeaid, rhag iddynt fy rhoi yn eu gafael ac iddynt fy ngham-drin."

¹⁹And the king Zedekiah saith unto Jeremiah, `I am fearing the Jews who have fallen unto the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they have insulted me.`

²⁰ Dywedodd Jeremeia, "Ni'th roddir yn eu gafael. Gwrando yn awr ar lais yr ARGLWYDD yn yr hyn yr wyf yn ei lefaru wrthyt, a bydd yn dda iti, a chedwir dy einioes.

²⁰And Jeremiah saith, `They do not give thee up; hearken, I pray thee, to the voice of Jehovah, to that which I am speaking unto thee, and it is well for thee, and thy soul doth live.

²¹ Os gwrthodi fynd allan, dyma'r gair a ddatguddiodd yr ARGLWYDD i mi:

²¹`And if thou art refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing that Jehovah hath shewn me:

²² 'Wele, caiff yr holl wragedd a adawyd yn nhu375? brenin Jwda eu dwyn allan at swyddogion brenin Babilon, ac fe ddywedant, "Hudodd dy gyfeillion di, a buont yn drech na thi; yn awr, a'th draed wedi glynu yn y llaid, troesant draw oddi wrthyt."'

²²That, lo, all the women who have been left in the house of the king of Judah are brought forth unto the heads of the king of Babylon, and lo, they are saying: Persuaded thee, and prevailed against thee, Have thine allies, Sunk into mire have thy feet, They have been turned backward.

²³ Dygir allan dy holl wragedd a'th blant at y Caldeaid, ac ni ddihengi dithau o'u gafael, ond fe'th ddelir yng ngafael brenin Babilon, a llosgir y ddinas hon � th�n."

²³`And all thy wives, and thy sons, are brought forth unto the Chaldeans, and thou dost not escape from their hand, for by the hand of the king of Babylon thou art caught, and this city is burnt with fire.`

²⁴ Yna dywedodd Sedeceia wrth Jeremeia, "Paid � gadael i neb wybod am y geiriau hyn, ac ni fyddi farw.

²⁴And Zedekiah saith unto Jeremiah, `Let no man know of these words, and thou dost not die;

²⁵ Ond os clyw'r swyddogion i mi ymddiddan � thi, a dod atat a dweud wrthyt, 'Mynega i ni beth a draethodd y brenin wrthyt ti, a beth a ddywedaist wrth y brenin; paid � chelu dim oddi wrthym, ac ni'th roddwn i farwolaeth',

²⁵and when the heads hear that I have spoken with thee, and they have come in unto thee, and have said unto thee, Declare to us, we pray thee, what thou didst speak unto the king, do not hide [it] from us, and we do not put thee to death, and what the king spake unto thee,

²⁶ yna dywedi wrthynt, 'Yr oeddwn yn gwneud cais yn ostyngedig i'r brenin, ar iddo beidio �'m gyrru'n �l i du375? Jonathan i farw yno.'"

²⁶then thou hast said unto them, I am causing my supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.`

²⁷ Pan ddaeth yr holl swyddogion at Jeremeia, a'i holi, mynegodd ef iddynt bob peth yn �l gorchymyn y brenin. A pheidiasant �'i holi ragor, ac ni chlywyd am y neges.

²⁷And all the heads come in unto Jeremiah, and ask him, and he declareth to them according to all these words that the king commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was not heard;

²⁸ Ac arhosodd Jeremeia yng nghyntedd y gwylwyr hyd y dydd y syrthiodd Jerwsalem, ac yr oedd yno pan syrthiodd Jerwsalem.

²⁸and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court of the prison till the day that Jerusalem hath been captured, and he was [there] when Jerusalem was captured.
