1 Dyma'r gair a lefarodd y proffwyd Jeremeia wrth Baruch fab Nereia, pan ysgrifennodd ef y geiriau hyn mewn llyfr, yn �l cyfarwyddyd Jeremeia, yn y bedwaredd flwyddyn i Jehoiacim fab Joseia, brenin Jwda:
1The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken unto Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:
2 "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel wrthyt ti, Baruch:
2`Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch:
3 'Dywedaist, "Gwae fi, oherwydd ychwanegodd yr ARGLWYDD dristwch at fy ngofid; diffygiais gan fy ngriddfan, ac ni chefais orffwys."'
3`Thou hast said, Wo to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found.
4 Fel hyn y dywedi wrth Baruch: 'Dyma air yr ARGLWYDD: Wele, fe dynnaf i lawr yr hyn a adeiledais, a diwreiddio'r hyn a blennais. Digwydd hyn i'r holl wlad.
4Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.
5 A thithau, a geisi i ti dy hun bethau mawrion? Paid �'u ceisio, oherwydd dyma fi'n dod � drwg ar bob cnawd,' medd yr ARGLWYDD; 'ond gadawaf i ti arbed dy fywyd, ple bynnag yr ei.'"
5And thou — thou seekest for thee great things — do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.`
