¹ Pan ddaeth y seithfed mis, a'r Israeliaid erbyn hyn yn eu trefi, ymgasglodd yr holl bobl fel un yn y sgw�r sydd o flaen Porth y Du373?r. Yna dywedasant wrth Esra yr ysgrifennydd am ddod � llyfr cyfraith Moses, sef yr un a orchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD i Israel.

¹And all the people are gathered as one man unto the broad place that [is] before the water-gate, and they say to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, that Jehovah commanded Israel.

² Ar y dydd cyntaf o'r seithfed mis daeth Esra yr offeiriad �'r gyfraith o flaen y gynulleidfa, yn wu375?r a gwragedd, pawb a fedrai ddeall yr hyn a glywai.

²And Ezra the priest bringeth the law before the assembly, both of men and women, and every one intelligent to hear, on the first day of the seventh month,

³ Darllenodd rannau ohoni, o doriad gwawr hyd hanner dydd, yng ngu373?ydd y gwu375?r a'r gwragedd oedd yn medru deall, gan wynebu'r sgw�r o flaen Porth y Du373?r; a gwrandawodd pawb yn astud ar lyfr y gyfraith.

³and he readeth in it before the broad place that [is] before the water-gate, from the light till the middle of the day, over-against the men, and the women, and those intelligent, and the ears of all the people [are] unto the book of the law.

⁴ Safodd Esra yr ysgrifennydd ar bulpud pren oedd wedi ei wneud i'r diben. Ar yr ochr dde iddo safodd Matitheia, Sema, Anaia, Ureia, Hilceia a Maaseia, ac ar y chwith Pedaia, Misael, Malcheia, Hasum, Hasbadana, Sechareia a Mesulam.

⁴And Ezra the scribe standeth on a tower of wood that they made for the purpose, and Mattithiah standeth near him, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right; and on his left Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam.

⁵ Agorodd Esra y llyfr yng ngolwg yr holl bobl, oherwydd yr oedd ef yn uwch na hwy, a phan agorodd y llyfr, safodd pawb ar eu traed.

⁵And Ezra openeth the book before the eyes of all the people — for above all the people he hath been — and at his opening [it] all the people have stood up,

⁶ Bendithiodd Esra yr ARGLWYDD, y Duw mawr, ac atebodd yr holl bobl, "Amen, Amen", gan godi eu dwylo ac ymgrymu ac addoli'r ARGLWYDD �'u hwynebau tua'r ddaear.

⁶and Ezra blesseth Jehovah, the great God, and all the people answer, `Amen, Amen,` with lifting up of their hands, and they bow and do obeisance to Jehovah — faces to the earth.

⁷ Yr oedd y Lefiaid, Jesua, Bani, Serebeia, Jamin, Accub, Sabbethai, Hodeia, Maaseia, Celita, Asareia, Josabad, Hanan, Pelaia, yn egluro'r gyfraith i'r bobl, a hwythau'n aros yn eu lle.

⁷And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, giving the people understanding in the law, and the people, [are] on their station,

⁸ Yr oeddent yn darllen o lyfr cyfraith Dduw, ac yn ei gyfieithu a'i esbonio fel bod pawb yn deall y darlleniad.

⁸and they read in the book, in the law of God, explaining — so as to give the meaning, and they give understanding to the convocation.

⁹ Yna dywedodd Nehemeia y llywodraethwr ac Esra yr offeiriad a'r ysgrifennydd, a'r Lefiaid oedd yn hyfforddi'r bobl, wrth yr holl bobl, "Y mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd i'r ARGLWYDD eich Duw; peidiwch � galaru nac wylo." Oherwydd yr oedd pawb yn wylo wrth wrando ar eiriau'r gyfraith.

⁹And Nehemiah — he [is] the Tirshatha — saith (and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites who are instructing the people) to all the people, `To-day is holy to Jehovah your God, do not mourn, nor weep:` for all the people are weeping at their hearing the words of the law.

¹⁰ Yna fe ddywedodd wrthynt, "Ewch, bwytewch ddanteithion ac yfwch win melys a rhannwch �'r sawl sydd heb ddim, oherwydd mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd i'n Harglwydd; felly, peidiwch � galaru, oherwydd llawenhau yn yr ARGLWYDD yw eich nerth."

¹⁰And he saith to them, `Go, eat fat things, and drink sweet things, and sent portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for to-day [is] holy to our Lord, and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.`

¹¹ A thawelodd y Lefiaid yr holl bobl a dweud, "Byddwch ddistaw; peidiwch � galaru, oherwydd y mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd."

¹¹And the Levites are keeping all the people silent, saying, `Be silent, for to-day [is] holy, and be not grieved.`

¹² Yna aeth pawb i ffwrdd i fwyta ac yfed ac i rannu ag eraill ac i orfoleddu, oherwydd yr oeddent wedi deall yr hyn a ddywedwyd wrthynt.

¹²And all the people go to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great joy, because they have understood concerning the words that they made known to them.

¹³ Ar yr ail ddiwrnod daeth pennau-teuluoedd yr holl bobl, a'r offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid, at Esra yr ysgrifennydd er mwyn astudio geiriau'r gyfraith.

¹³And on the second day have been gathered heads of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to act wisely concerning the words of the law.

¹⁴ Yn y gyfraith a orchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD trwy Moses, fe gawsant yn ysgrifenedig y dylai'r Israeliaid fyw mewn pebyll yn ystod yr u373?yl yn y seithfed mis,

¹⁴And they find written in the law that Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, that the sons of Israel dwell in booths in the feast, in the seventh month,

¹⁵ a'u bod i anfon gair a chyhoeddi ym mhob un o'u dinasoedd yn ogystal ag yn Jerwsalem, "Ewch allan i'r mynydd, a dygwch gangau olewydd ac olewydd gwyllt a myrtwydd a phalmwydd a choed deiliog i wneud pebyll, fel yr ysgrifennwyd."

¹⁵and that they proclaim and cause to pass over all their cities, (and in Jerusalem,) saying, `Go ye out to the mount, and bring leaves of the olive, and leaves of the oil tree, and leaves of the myrtle, and leaves of the palms, and leaves of thick trees, to make booths as it is written.`

¹⁶ Aeth y bobl allan i'w cyrchu, a gwnaethant bebyll iddynt eu hunain, pob un ar do ei du375? ac yn eu cynteddoedd ac yng nghynteddoedd tu375? Dduw ac yn y sgw�r o flaen Porth y Du373?r ac yn y sgw�r o flaen Porth Effraim.

¹⁶And the people go out, and bring in, and make for themselves booths, each on his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water-gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim.

¹⁷ Gwnaeth yr holl gynulleidfa a ddychwelodd o'r gaethglud bebyll, a byw ynddynt. Nid oedd yr Israeliaid wedi gwneud hyn o amser Josua fab Nun hyd y dydd hwnnw; a bu gorfoledd mawr iawn.

¹⁷And they make — all the assembly of the captives of the captivity — booths, and they sit in booths; for the sons of Israel had not done, from the days of Jeshua son of Nun, so unto that day, and there is very great joy.

¹⁸ Darllenwyd o lyfr cyfraith Dduw yn feunyddiol o'r dydd cyntaf hyd yr olaf. Cadwasant yr u373?yl am saith diwrnod, ac ar yr wythfed dydd bu cynulliad yn �l y ddefod.

¹⁸And he readeth in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day till the last day, and they make a feast seven days, and on the eighth day a restraint, according to the ordinance.
