¹ Pan glywodd Mordecai am bopeth a ddigwyddodd, rhwygodd ei ddillad a gwisgo sachliain a lludw, a mynd allan i ganol y ddinas a gweiddi'n groch a chwerw.

¹And when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry,

² Daeth i ymyl porth y brenin, oherwydd ni ch�i neb oedd yn gwisgo sachliain fynd i mewn i'r porth.

²and came even before the king's gate; for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

³ Ym mhob talaith lle y cyrhaeddodd gair a gorchymyn y brenin, yr oedd galar mawr ymysg yr Iddewon, ac yr oeddent yn ymprydio, yn wylo ac yn llefain; a gorweddodd llawer ohonynt mewn sachliain a lludw.

³And in every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing: many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

⁴ Pan ddaeth morynion ac eunuchiaid y Frenhines Esther a dweud wrthi, yr oedd yn ofidus iawn. Anfonodd ddillad i Mordecai eu gwisgo yn lle'r sachliain oedd amdano, ond gwrthododd ef hwy.

⁴And Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him; but he received [it] not.

⁵ Yna galwodd Esther ar Hathach, un o eunuchiaid y brenin a ddewiswyd i weini arni, a'i orchymyn i fynd at Mordecai, i gael gwybod beth oedd ystyr hyn a pham y digwyddodd.

⁵Then Esther called for Hatach, [one] of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to wait upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.

⁶ Aeth Hathach allan at Mordecai i sgw�r y ddinas o flaen porth y brenin,

⁶And Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the public place of the city which was before the king's gate.

⁷ a dywedodd Mordecai wrtho am y cwbl a ddigwyddodd iddo, ac am y swm o arian yr addawodd Haman ei dalu i drysorfa'r brenin er mwyn difa'r Iddewon.

⁷And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and of the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

⁸ Rhoddodd iddo hefyd gopi o'r wu375?s a gyhoeddwyd yn Susan, yn gorchymyn eu dinistrio, er mwyn iddo yntau ei dangos a'i hegluro i Esther, a dweud wrthi am fynd at y brenin i ymbil ag ef ac erfyn arno dros ei phobl.

⁸And he gave him a copy of the writing of the decree that had been given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [it] to Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, for her people.

⁹ Aeth Hathach a dweud wrth Esther yr hyn a ddywedodd Mordecai,

⁹And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

¹⁰ a rhoddodd hithau iddo'r neges hon i Mordecai,

¹⁰And Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai:

¹¹ "Y mae holl weision y brenin a phobl ei daleithiau yn gwybod nad oes ond un ddedfryd yn aros unrhyw u373?r neu wraig sy'n mynd i'r cyntedd mewnol at y brenin heb wahoddiad, sef marwolaeth; ni chaiff fyw oni bai i'r brenin estyn ei deyrnwialen aur iddo. Nid wyf fi wedi fy ngalw at y brenin ers deg diwrnod ar hugain bellach."

¹¹All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces do know that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is *one* law, to put [him] to death, except [such] to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live; and I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

¹² Pan glywodd Mordecai neges Esther,

¹²And they told Mordecai Esther's words.

¹³ dywedodd wrthynt am ei hateb fel hyn, "Paid � meddwl y cei di yn unig o'r holl Iddewon dy arbed, am dy fod yn byw yn nhu375?'r brenin.

¹³And Mordecai bade to answer Esther: Imagine not in thy heart that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

¹⁴ Os byddi'n gwrthod siarad yn awr, daw ymwared a chymorth i'r Iddewon o le arall, ond byddi di a thu375? dy dad yn trengi. Pwy a u373?yr nad ar gyfer y fath amser � hwn y daethost i'r frenhiniaeth?"

¹⁴For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there arise relief and deliverance to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall perish. And who knows whether thou art [not] come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

¹⁵ Dywedodd Esther wrthynt am roi'r ateb hwn i Mordecai:

¹⁵And Esther bade to answer Mordecai:

¹⁶ "Dos i gasglu ynghyd yr holl Iddewon sy'n byw yn Susan, ac ymprydiwch drosof; peidiwch � bwyta nac yfed, ddydd na nos, am dridiau, ac fe wnaf finnau a'm morynion yr un fath. Yna af at y brenin, er fy mod yn torri'r gyfraith; ac os trengaf, mi drengaf."

¹⁶Go, gather together all the Jews that are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise, and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.

¹⁷ Aeth Mordecai ymaith a gwneud popeth a orchmynnodd Esther iddo.

¹⁷And Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
