¹ Penderfynodd Dareius benodi cant ac ugain o lywodraethwyr, un i fod dros bob rhan o'r deyrnas,

¹It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be in all the kingdom;

² a throstynt hwy dri rhaglaw, gan gynnwys Daniel; ac iddynt hwy yr oedd y llywodraethwyr yn gyfrifol, i warchod buddiannau'r brenin.

²and over these, three presidents -- of whom Daniel was one -- to whom these satraps should render account, and that the king should suffer no loss.

³ Yr oedd Daniel yn rhagori ar y rhaglawiaid a'r llywodraethwyr am fod ganddo ddawn arbennig, a bwriadai'r brenin ei osod dros yr holl deyrnas.

³Now this Daniel surpassed the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to appoint him over the whole realm.

⁴ Yna chwiliodd y rhaglawiaid a'r llywodraethwyr am ryw achos ynglu375?n �'r deyrnas y gallent ei ddwyn yn erbyn Daniel, ond ni fedrent gael achos na bai ynddo; am ei fod mor ddidwyll, ni chawsant unrhyw amryfusedd na bai ynddo.

⁴Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a pretext against Daniel with respect to the kingdom; but they could not find any pretext or fault; inasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

⁵ Yna dywedodd y dynion hyn, "Ni fedrwn gael unrhyw achos yn erbyn y Daniel hwn os na chawn rywbeth ynglu375?n � chyfraith ei Dduw."

⁵Then said these men, We shall not find any pretext against this Daniel, unless we find [it] against him touching the law of his God.

⁶ Felly aeth y rhaglawiaid a'r llywodraethwyr gyda'i gilydd at y brenin a dweud wrtho, "O Frenin Dareius, bydd fyw byth!

⁶Then these presidents and satraps came in a body to the king, and said thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever!

⁷ Y mae holl swyddogion y deyrnas, yn benaethiaid a llywodraethwyr, yn gynghorwyr a rhaglawiaid, yn unfryd �'i gilydd y dylai'r brenin wneud deddf a gorchymyn pendant fod pob un sydd, o fewn deg diwrnod ar hugain, yn ymbil ar unrhyw dduw neu ddyn, ar wah�n i ti, O frenin, i'w daflu i ffau'r llewod.

⁷All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

⁸ Yn awr, O frenin, cadarnha'r gorchymyn ac arwydda'r ddogfen, fel na chaiff ei newid, yn �l cyfraith ddigyfnewid y Mediaid a'r Persiaid."

⁸Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.

⁹ Felly arwyddodd y Brenin Dareius y ddogfen a'r gorchymyn.

⁹Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

¹⁰ Pan glywodd Daniel fod y ddogfen wedi ei harwyddo, aeth i'w du375?. Yr oedd ffenestri ei lofft yn agor i gyfeiriad Jerwsalem, ac yntau'n parhau i benlinio deirgwaith y dydd, a gwedd�o a thalu diolch i'w Dduw, yn �l ei arfer.

¹⁰And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

¹¹ Daeth y bobl hyn gyda'i gilydd a dal Daniel yn ymbil ac yn erfyn ar ei Dduw.

¹¹But those men came in a body, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

¹² Yna aethant at y brenin a'i atgoffa am ei orchymyn: "Onid wyt wedi arwyddo gorchymyn fod pob un sydd, o fewn deg diwrnod ar hugain, yn gwedd�o ar unrhyw dduw neu ddyn ar wah�n i ti, O frenin, i'w daflu i ffau'r llewod?" Atebodd y brenin, "Dyna'r gorchymyn, yn unol � chyfraith ddigyfnewid y Mediaid a'r Persiaid."

¹²Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree: Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [anything] of any god or man within thirty days, except of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.

¹³ Dywedasant hwythau wrth y brenin, "Nid yw'r Daniel yma, o gaethglud Jwda, yn cymryd unrhyw sylw ohonot ti na'r gorchymyn a arwyddaist, O frenin, ond y mae'n gwedd�o deirgwaith y dydd."

¹³Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

¹⁴ Pan glywodd y brenin hyn yr oedd yn drist iawn, a cheisiodd ffordd i achub Daniel, ac ymdrechu hyd fachlud haul i'w arbed.

¹⁴Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore distressed thereby, and set his heart on Daniel to save him; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

¹⁵ Ond daeth y rhain gyda'i gilydd at y brenin a dweud wrtho, "Gwyddost, O frenin, fod pob gorchymyn a deddf o eiddo'r brenin yn ddigyfnewid yn �l cyfraith y Mediaid a'r Persiaid."

¹⁵Then these men came in a body unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

¹⁶ Felly gorchmynnodd y brenin iddynt ddod � Daniel, a'i daflu i ffau'r llewod; ond dywedodd wrth Daniel, "Bydded i'th Dduw, yr wyt yn ei wasanaethu'n barhaus, dy achub."

¹⁶Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast [him] into the den of lions. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will save thee.

¹⁷ Yna daethant � maen, a'i osod ar geg y ffau, a seliodd y brenin ef �'i s�l ei hun a s�l ei bendefigion, rhag bod unrhyw newid ar y dyfarniad yn erbyn Daniel.

¹⁷And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his nobles, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.

¹⁸ Dychwelodd y brenin i'w balas a threulio'r noson mewn ympryd; ni ddaethpwyd � merched ato, ac ni allai gysgu.

¹⁸Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were concubines brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

¹⁹ Yn y bore, ar doriad gwawr, cododd y brenin a mynd ar frys at ffau'r llewod.

¹⁹Then the king arose with the light at break of day, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

²⁰ Wedi iddo gyrraedd y ffau, galwodd ar Daniel mewn llais pryderus a dweud, "Daniel, gwas y Duw byw, a fedrodd dy Dduw, yr wyt yn ei wasanaethu'n barhaus, dy achub rhag y llewod?"

²⁰And when he came near unto the den, he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king spoke and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God whom thou servest continually been able to save thee from the lions?

²¹ Atebodd Daniel y brenin, "O frenin, bydd fyw byth!

²¹Then Daniel spoke unto the king, O king, live for ever!

²² Anfonodd fy Nuw ei angel, a chau safn y llewod fel na wnaethant niwed i mi, am fy mod yn ddieuog yn ei olwg; ni wneuthum niwed i tithau chwaith, O frenin."

²²My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

²³ Gorfoleddodd y brenin, a gorchymyn rhyddhau Daniel o'r ffau. A phan gafodd ei ryddhau, nid oedd unrhyw niwed i'w weld arno, am iddo ymddiried yn ei Dduw.

²³Thereupon was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

²⁴ Ac ar orchymyn y brenin, daethant �'r rhai oedd wedi cyhuddo Daniel, a'u taflu i ffau'r llewod, hwy a'u plant a'u gwragedd, a chyn iddynt gyrraedd gwaelod y ffau yr oedd y llewod wedi eu llarpio ac wedi malu eu hesgyrn yn chwilfriw.

²⁴And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces ere they came to the bottom of the den.

²⁵ Yna ysgrifennodd y Brenin Dareius at yr holl bobloedd, o bob cenedl ac iaith trwy'r byd i gyd, "Heddwch fo i chwi!

²⁵Then king Darius wrote unto all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.

²⁶ Yr wyf yn gorchymyn fod pawb ym mhob talaith o'm teyrnas i ofni a pharchu Duw Daniel. Ef yw'r Duw byw, y tragwyddol; ni ddinistrir ei frenhiniaeth, a phery ei arglwyddiaeth byth.

²⁶I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

²⁷ Y mae'n achub ac yn gwaredu, yn gwneud arwyddion a rhyfeddodau yn y nefoedd ac ar y ddaear; ef a achubodd Daniel o afael y llewod."

²⁷He saveth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth: who hath saved Daniel from the power of the lions.

²⁸ A llwyddodd y Daniel hwn yn ystod teyrnasiad Dareius a theyrnasiad Cyrus y Persiad.

²⁸And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
