Esther

1

1 Digwyddodd y pethau a ganlyn yn amser Ahasferus, yr Ahasferus oedd yn teyrnasu ar gant dau ddeg a saith o daleithiau, o India i Ethiopia.
1And it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (that is, the Ahasuerus that reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces),
2 Yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw, yn nhrydedd flwyddyn ei deyrnasiad, ac yntau'n teyrnasu ar ei orsedd yn Susan y brifddinas,
2in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the fortress,
3 gwnaeth y Brenin Ahasferus wledd i'w holl dywysogion a'i weinidogion. Daeth byddin y Persiaid a'r Mediaid, y penaethiaid a thywysogion y taleithiau o'i flaen,
3in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of the provinces being before him;
4 a threuliodd yntau amser maith, sef cant wyth deg o ddyddiau, yn dangos iddynt gyfoeth ei deyrnas odidog ac ysblander gogoneddus ei fawredd.
4when he shewed the glorious wealth of his kingdom and the splendid magnificence of his grandeur many days, a hundred and eighty days.
5 Pan ddaeth yr amser hwn i ben, gwnaeth y brenin wledd a barodd am saith diwrnod yn y cwrt yng ngardd ei du375? i bawb, o'r lleiaf hyd y mwyaf, oedd yn byw yn Susan y brifddinas.
5And when these days were expired, the king made a feast to all the people that were present in Shushan the fortress, both to great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.
6 Yr oedd yno lenni gwyn a glas wedi eu rhwymo � llinynnau o sidan a phorffor wrth gadwynau arian ar golofnau marmor. Yr oedd yno welyau o aur ac arian ar lawr o risial, marmor, alabastr a glasfaen gwerthfawr.
6White, green, and blue [hangings] were fastened with cords of byssus and purple to silver rings and pillars of white marble; couches of gold and silver [lay] upon a pavement of red and white marble, and alabaster, and black marble.
7 Yr oedd cwpanau aur o wahanol fathau i yfed ohonynt, ac yr oedd digonedd o win trwy haelioni'r brenin.
7And they gave drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the king's bounty.
8 Ynglu375?n �'r yfed, nid oedd gorfodaeth ar neb, oherwydd gorchmynnodd y brenin i holl swyddogion ei balas wneud fel yr oedd pawb yn dymuno.
8And the drinking was, according to commandment, without constraint; for so the king had appointed to all the magnates of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
9 Gwnaeth y Frenhines Fasti hefyd wledd i'r gwragedd ym mhalas y Brenin Ahasferus.
9Also the queen Vashti made a feast for the women of the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
10 Ar y seithfed dydd, pan oedd y Brenin Ahasferus yn llawen gan win, rhoddodd orchymyn i Mehuman, Bistha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Sethar a Carcas, y saith eunuch oedd yn gweini arno,
10On the seventh day, when the king's heart was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of king Ahasuerus,
11 i ddod �'r Frenhines Fasti ato yn gwisgo ei choron frenhinol, er mwyn dangos ei phrydferthwch i'r bobl a'r tywysogion, oherwydd yr oedd yn brydferth iawn.
11to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown to shew the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was of beautiful countenance.
12 Ond gwrthododd y Frenhines Fasti ddod ar orchymyn y brenin trwy'r eunuchiaid. Felly gwylltiodd y brenin yn ddirfawr a chyneuodd ei lid.
12But the queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king which was [sent] by the chamberlains; and the king was very wroth, and his fury burned in him.
13 Gan mai arfer y brenin oedd troi at y rhai oedd yn deall cyfraith a barn, fe ymgynghorodd �'r doethion oedd yn deall y gyfraith.
13And the king said to the wise men who knew the times (for so was the king's business [conducted] before all that knew law and judgment;
14 Ei gynghorwyr mwyaf blaenllaw oedd Carsena, Sethar, Admatha, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena a Memuchan, saith dywysog Persia a Media; hwy oedd agosaf at y brenin, a'r dynion mwyaf blaenllaw yn y deyrnas.
14and the next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and who sat first in the kingdom),
15 Gofynnodd iddynt, "Beth, yn �l y gyfraith, sydd i'w wneud �'r Frenhines Fasti am iddi anufuddhau i orchymyn y Brenin Ahasferus trwy'r eunuchiaid?"
15What shall be done to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not performed the word of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
16 Atebodd Memuchan yng ngu373?ydd y brenin a'r tywysogion, "Nid �'r Brenin Ahasferus yn unig y mae'r Frenhines Fasti wedi gwneud cam, ond �'r holl dywysogion a'r bobl ym mhob un o daleithiau'r brenin.
16Then said Memucan before the king and the princes, The queen Vashti has not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 Oherwydd daw pob gwraig i wybod am yr hyn a wnaeth y frenhines, ac o ganlyniad fe ddirmygant eu gwu375?r a dweud, 'Gorchmynnodd y Brenin Ahasferus ddod �'r Frenhines Fasti ato, ond ni ddaeth hi.'
17For the act of the queen will come abroad to all women, so as to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when they shall say, The king Ahasuerus commanded the queen Vashti to be brought in before him, and she came not!
18 Heddiw bydd tywysogesau Persia a Media, sydd wedi clywed am weithred y frenhines, yn rhoi yr un ateb i holl dywysogion y brenin, ac yna bydd dirmyg a dicter diddiwedd.
18And the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's act, will say it this day to all the king's princes, and there will be contempt and anger enough.
19 Gyda chydsyniad y brenin, gwneler datganiad brenhinol, a'i ysgrifennu yn neddfau'r Persiaid a'r Mediaid fel na chaiff ei newid, nad yw Fasti i ddod mwyach i u373?ydd y Brenin Ahasferus; a rhodded y brenin ei swydd frenhinol hi i un arall sy'n rhagori arni.
19If it please the king, let a royal order go forth from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it may not pass, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she;
20 Pan glywir trwy'r holl deyrnas, er mor fawr ydyw, y gorchymyn a wnaeth y brenin, bydd pob gwraig, o'r leiaf hyd y fwyaf, yn parchu ei gu373?r."
20and when the king's edict which he shall make shall be heard throughout his realm -- for it is great -- all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, from the greatest to the least.
21 Yr oedd cyngor Memuchan yn dderbyniol gan y brenin a'r tywysogion, a gwnaeth y brenin fel yr awgrymodd.
21And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan.
22 Anfonwyd llythyrau i holl daleithiau'r brenin, i bob talaith yn ei hysgrifen ei hun a phob cenedl yn ei hiaith ei hun, er mwyn sicrhau bod pob dyn, beth bynnag ei iaith, yn feistr ar ei du375? ei hun.
22And he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people according to their language, That every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.
