¹ Wedi'r pethau hyn, pan liniarodd llid y Brenin Ahasferus, fe gofiodd am Fasti a'r hyn a wnaeth, ac am yr hyn a ddyfarnwyd amdani.

¹After these things, when the fury of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

² Dywedodd y llanciau oedd yn gweini ar y brenin, "Chwilier am wyryfon ifainc hardd i'r brenin.

²Then said the king's servants that attended upon him, Let there be maidens, virgins of beautiful countenance, sought for the king;

³ Bydded i'r brenin ethol swyddogion ym mhob talaith o'i deyrnas i gasglu pob gwyryf ifanc hardd i Susan y brifddinas; yna rhodder hwy yn nhu375?'r gwragedd o dan ofal Hegai, eunuch y brenin sy'n gofalu am y gwragedd, a rhodder iddynt eu hoffer coluro.

³and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the young virgins of beautiful countenance to Shushan the fortress, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given.

⁴ Bydded i'r ferch sy'n ennill ffafr y brenin ddod i'r orsedd yn lle Fasti." Yr oedd y syniad yn dderbyniol gan y brenin, ac fe wnaeth felly.

⁴And let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

⁵ Yr oedd Iddew yn byw yn Susan y brifddinas o'r enw Mordecai fab Jair, fab Simei, fab Cis, gu373?r o Benjamin.

⁵There was in Shushan the fortress a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjaminite,

⁶ Yr oedd wedi ei gymryd o Jerwsalem i'r gaethglud gyda Jechoneia brenin Jwda, a gaethgludwyd gan Nebuchadnesar brenin Babilon.

⁶who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

⁷ Yr oedd ef wedi mabwysiadu ei gyfnither Hadassa, sef Esther, am ei bod yn amddifad. Yr oedd hi'n ferch deg a phrydferth; a phan fu farw ei thad a'i mam, mabwysiadodd Mordecai hi'n ferch iddo'i hun.

⁷And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother -- and the maiden was fair and beautiful -- and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.

⁸ Pan gyhoeddwyd gair a gorchymyn y brenin a chasglu llawer o ferched ifainc i'r palas yn Susan o dan ofal Hegai, daethpwyd ag Esther i du375?'r brenin a oedd yng ngofal Hegai, ceidwad y gwragedd.

⁸And it came to pass when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the fortress, unto the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was brought into the king's house, unto the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

⁹ Yr oedd y ferch yn dderbyniol yn ei olwg, a chafodd ffafr ganddo. Trefnodd iddi gael ar unwaith ei hoffer coluro a'i dogn bwyd, a rhoddodd iddi saith o forynion golygus o du375?'r brenin, a'i symud hi a'i morynion i le gwell yn nhu375?'r gwragedd.

⁹And the maiden pleased him, and obtained favour before him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, and her portions, and the seven maidens selected to be given her, out of the king's house; and he removed her and her maids to the best [place] of the house of the women.

¹⁰ Nid oedd Esther wedi s�n am ei chenedl na'i thras, am i Mordecai orchymyn iddi beidio.

¹⁰Esther had not made known her people nor her birth; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.

¹¹ Bob dydd �i Mordecai heibio i gyntedd tu375?'r gwragedd er mwyn gwybod sut yr oedd Esther, a beth oedd yn digwydd iddi.

¹¹And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.

¹² Ar ddiwedd deuddeg mis, sef y cyfnod o baratoi a osodwyd ar gyfer y gwragedd � chwe mis gydag olew a myrr, a chwe mis gyda pheraroglau ac offer coluro'r gwragedd � d�i tro pob merch i fynd at y Brenin Ahasferus.

¹²And when every maiden's turn came to go in to king Ahasuerus after that she had been treated for twelve months, according to the manner of the women (for so were the days of their purification accomplished -- six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with things for the purifying of the women,

¹³ Pan dd�i'r ferch at y brenin fel hyn, c�i fynd � beth bynnag a fynnai gyda hi o du375?'r gwragedd i balas y brenin.

¹³and thus came the maiden in unto the king), whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king's house.

¹⁴ �i allan gyda'r hwyr, a dychwelyd yn y bore i ail du375?'r gwragedd o dan ofal Saasgas, eunuch y brenin a ofalai am y gordderchwragedd; ni fyddai'n mynd eilwaith at y brenin oni bai iddo ef ei chwennych a galw amdani wrth ei henw.

¹⁴In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, unto the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, keeper of the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.

¹⁵ Pan ddaeth tro Esther, y ferch a fabwysiadwyd gan Mordecai am ei bod yn ferch i'w ewythr Abihail, i fynd i mewn at y brenin, ni ofynnodd hi am ddim ond yr hyn a awgrymodd Hegai, eunuch y brenin a cheidwad y gwragedd; ac yr oedd Esther yn cael ffafr yng ngolwg pawb a'i gwelai.

¹⁵And when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained grace in the sight of all them that saw her.

¹⁶ Aethpwyd ag Esther i mewn i'r palas at y Brenin Ahasferus yn y degfed mis, sef Tebeth, yn y seithfed flwyddyn o'i deyrnasiad.

¹⁶So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus, into his royal house, in the tenth month, that is, the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

¹⁷ Carodd y brenin Esther yn fwy na'r holl wragedd, a dangosodd fwy o ffafr a charedigrwydd tuag ati hi na thuag at yr un o'r gwyryfon eraill; rhoddodd goron frenhinol ar ei phen a'i gwneud yn frenhines yn lle Fasti.

¹⁷And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins, and he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

¹⁸ Yna gwnaeth y brenin wledd fawr i'w holl dywysogion a'i weision er mwyn anrhydeddu Esther; hefyd cyhoeddodd u373?yl ym mhob talaith, a rhannu anrhegion yn hael.

¹⁸And the king made a great feast to all his princes and his servants, Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave presents according to the king's bounty.

¹⁹ Pan ddaeth y gwyryfon at ei gilydd yr ail waith, yr oedd Mordecai'n eistedd ym mhorth llys y brenin.

¹⁹And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai sat in the king's gate.

²⁰ Nid oedd Esther wedi s�n am ei thras na'i chenedl, fel y gorchmynnodd Mordecai iddi; yr oedd hi'n derbyn cynghorion Mordecai, fel y gwn�i pan oedd yn ei magu.

²⁰(Esther, as Mordecai had charged her, had not yet made known her birth nor her people; for Esther did what Mordecai told her, like as when she was brought up with him.)

²¹ Yr adeg honno, pan oedd Mordecai'n eistedd ym mhorth y brenin, yr oedd Bigthan a Theres, dau eunuch i'r Brenin Ahasferus oedd yn gofalu am y porth, wedi digio ac yn cynllwyn i ymosod ar y brenin.

²¹In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

²² Daeth Mordecai i wybod am hyn, a dywedodd wrth y Frenhines Esther; dywedodd hithau wrth y brenin yn enw Mordecai.

²²And the thing became known to Mordecai, and he related it to Esther the queen, and Esther told it to the king in Mordecai's name.

²³ Chwiliwyd yr achos a chafwyd ei fod yn wir; felly crogwyd y ddau ar bren. Ysgrifennwyd yr hanes yn llyfr y cronicl yng ngu373?ydd y brenin.

²³And the matter was investigated and found out; and they were both hanged on a tree. And it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
