¹ Pan glywodd Sanbalat a Tobeia a Gesem yr Arabiad a'r gweddill o'n gelynion fy mod wedi ailgodi'r mur ac nad oedd yr un bwlch ar �l ynddo � er nad oeddwn y pryd hwnnw wedi gosod dorau ar y pyrth �

¹And it cometh to pass, when it hath been heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our enemies, that I have builded the wall, and there hath not been left in it a breach, (also, till that time the doors I had not set up in the gates,)

² fe anfonodd Sanbalat a Gesem ataf a dweud, "Tyrd i'n cyfarfod yn un o'r pentrefi yn nyffryn Ono." Ond eu bwriad oedd gwneud niwed imi.

²that Sanballat sendeth, also Geshem, unto me, saying, `Come and we meet together in the villages, in the valley of Ono;` and they are thinking to do to me evil.

³ Anfonais negeswyr atynt gyda'r ateb, "Y mae gennyf waith pwysig ar dro, felly ni allaf ddod i lawr. Pam y dylai'r gwaith gael ei atal tra wyf fi yn ei adael ac yn dod i lawr atoch chwi?"

³And I send unto them messengers, saying, `A great work I am doing, and I am not able to come down; why doth the work cease when I let it alone, and have come down unto you?`

⁴ Anfonasant ataf i'r un perwyl bedair gwaith, a phob tro rhoddais yr un ateb.

⁴and they send unto me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.

⁵ Y pumed tro anfonodd Sanbalat ei was ei hun ataf gyda llythyr agored

⁵And Sanballat sendeth unto me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;

⁶ yn cynnwys y neges hon: "Yn �l Gasmu y mae si ymysg y cenhedloedd dy fod ti a'r Iddewon yn bwriadu gwrthryfela, ac mai dyna pam yr wyt yn ailgodi'r mur. Dywedir hefyd dy fod ti dy hun am fod yn frenin arnynt,

⁶it is written in it, `Among the nations it hath been heard, and Gashmu is saying: Thou and the Jews are thinking to rebel, therefore thou art building the wall, and thou hast been to them for a king — according to these words!

⁷ a'th fod wedi penodi proffwydi i gyhoeddi yn Jerwsalem a dweud, 'Y mae brenin yn Jwda.' Bydd y brenin yn sicr o glywed am hyn; felly tyrd, a gad i ni ymgynghori �'n gilydd."

⁷And also, prophets thou hast appointed to call for thee in Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by the king according to these words; and now come, and we take counsel together.`

⁸ Anfonais air yn �l ato a dweud, "Nid yw'r hyn a ddywedi di yn wir; ti dy hun sydd wedi ei ddychmygu."

⁸And I send unto him, saying, `It hath not been according to these words that thou art saying, for from thine own heart thou art devising them;`

⁹ Yr oeddent oll yn ceisio'n dychryn, gan dybio y byddem yn digalonni, ac na fyddai'r gwaith yn cael ei orffen. Ond yn awr cryfha fi!

⁹for all of them are making us afraid, saying, `Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done;` and now, strengthen Thou my hands.

¹⁰ Pan euthum i du375? Semaia fab Delaia, fab Mehetabel, oedd wedi ei gaethiwo i'w gartref, dywedodd wrthyf, "Gad i ni gyfarfod yn nhu375? Dduw, y tu mewn i'r cysegr, a chau drysau'r deml, oherwydd y maent yn dod i'th ladd, yn dod i'th ladd liw nos."

¹⁰And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel — and he is restrained — and he saith, `Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming in to slay thee — yea, by night they are coming in to slay thee.`

¹¹ Atebais innau, "A ddylai dyn fel fi ffoi? A yw un fel fi i fynd i mewn i'r deml er mwyn achub ei fywyd? Nid af i mewn."

¹¹And I say, `A man such as I — doth he flee? and who as I, that doth go in unto the temple, and live? — I do not go in.`

¹² Yna sylweddolais nad Duw oedd wedi ei anfon, ond ei fod wedi proffwydo fel hyn yn ein herbyn am fod Tobeia a Sanbalat wedi ei lwgrwobrwyo.

¹²And I discern, and lo, God hath not sent him, for in the prophecy he hath spoken unto me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him,

¹³ Yr oedd wedi cael ei dalu i godi ofn arnaf a pheri imi bechu trwy wneud hyn; yna fe gaent esgus i roi enw drwg imi, a'm gwaradwyddo.

¹³so that he [is] an hireling, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me.

¹⁴ Fy Nuw, cofia Tobeia a Sanbalat am iddynt wneud hyn, a hefyd Noadeia y broffwydes a'r proffwydi eraill oedd am fy nychryn.

¹⁴Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.

¹⁵ Gorffennwyd y mur mewn deuddeg diwrnod a deugain, ar y pumed ar hugain o Elul.

¹⁵And the wall is completed in the twenty and fifth of Elul, on the fifty and second day;

¹⁶ Pan glywodd ein holl elynion, a phan welodd yr holl genhedloedd o'n hamgylch, yr oedd y peth yn rhyfeddol yn eu golwg, a daethant i ddeall mai trwy gymorth ein Duw y cafodd y gwaith hwn ei wneud.

¹⁶and it cometh to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and all the nations who are round about us see, that they fall greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God hath this work been done.

¹⁷ Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn anfonodd pendefigion Jwda nifer o lythyrau at Tobeia, a daeth llythyrau oddi wrth Tobeia atynt hwythau;

¹⁷Also, in those days the freemen of Judah are multiplying their letters going unto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming in unto them;

¹⁸ oherwydd yr oedd llawer yn Jwda mewn cynghrair ag ef am ei fod yn fab-yng-nghyfraith i Sechaneia fab Ara, a'i fab Jehohanan wedi priodi merch Mesulam fab Berecheia.

¹⁸for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and Jehohanan his son hath taken the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah;

¹⁹ Byddent yn s�n wrthyf am ei ragoriaethau ac yn ailadrodd fy ngeiriau innau wrtho ef. Ysgrifennodd Tobeia hefyd lythyrau ataf i'm dychryn.

¹⁹also, his good deeds they have been saying before me, and my words they have been taking out to him; letters hath Tobiah sent to make me afraid.
