¹ Ond wedi i'r proffwydi, Haggai a Sechareia fab Ido, broffwydo yn enw Duw Israel i'r Iddewon yn Jwda a Jerwsalem,

¹Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel [did they prophesy] to them.

² dechreuodd Sorobabel fab Salathiel a Jesua fab Josadac ailadeiladu tu375? Dduw yn Jerwsalem; ac yr oedd proffwydi Duw gyda hwy yn eu cefnogi.

²Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, who helped them.

³ Ond ar unwaith daeth Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Setharbosnai a'u cefnogwyr atynt a gofyn, "Pwy a roes ganiat�d i chwi ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn a gorffen ei goedio?"

³At that time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus to them: Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?

⁴ Gofynasant hefyd, "Beth yw enwau'r rhai sy'n codi'r adeilad hwn?"

⁴And they said to them after this manner: What are the names of the men that build this building?

⁵ Ond yr oedd eu Duw yn gofalu am henuriaid yr Iddewon, ac ni chawsant eu rhwystro nes i adroddiad fynd at Dareius ac iddynt gael ateb ar y mater.

⁵But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease till the matter came to Darius; and then they returned answer by letter concerning it.

⁶ Dyma gopi o'r llythyr a anfonodd Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Setharbosnai a'u cefnogwyr, penaethiaid Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, at y Brenin Dareius.

⁶The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side the river, sent to Darius the king.

⁷ A dyma'r adroddiad ysgrifenedig a anfonwyd: "I'r Brenin Dareius, cyfarchion!

⁷They sent a report to him in which was written thus: To Darius the king, all peace!

⁸ Bydded hysbys i'r brenin i ni fynd i dalaith Jwda, a gweld tu375?'r Duw mawr yn cael ei adeiladu � cherrig enfawr, gyda choed yn y muriau; y mae'r gwaith yn mynd rhagddo ac yn llwyddo dan ofal henuriaid yr Iddewon.

⁸Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work is being carried on with diligence, and prospers in their hand.

⁹ Yna gofynasom i'r henuriaid, 'Pwy a roes ganiat�d i chwi ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn a gorffen ei goedio?'

⁹Then asked we those elders: thus we said to them, Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?

¹⁰ Gofynasom hefyd iddynt am eu henwau fel y medrem gofnodi enwau eu harweinwyr a rhoi gwybod i ti.

¹⁰We asked their names also, to inform thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.

¹¹ A dyma'r ateb a gawsom: 'Gweision Duw nef a daear ydym ni, ac yr ydym yn ailadeiladu tu375? a godwyd lawer o flynyddoedd yn �l; un o frenhinoedd enwog Israel a'i cododd a'i orffen.

¹¹And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.

¹² Ond am i'n hynafiaid ddigio Duw'r nefoedd, rhoddodd ef hwy i Nebuchadnesar y Caldead, brenin Babilon; dinistriodd yntau'r tu375? hwn a chaethgludo'r bobl i Fabilon.

¹²But after that our fathers had provoked the God of the heavens to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people away unto Babylon.

¹³ Ond ym mlwyddyn gyntaf ei deyrnasiad, rhoes Cyrus brenin Babilon orchymyn i ailadeiladu'r tu375? hwn.

¹³But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, king Cyrus gave orders to build this house of God.

¹⁴ Yr oedd llestri aur ac arian yn perthyn i du375? Dduw; dygodd Nebuchadnesar hwy o'r deml yn Jerwsalem a'u rhoi yn nheml Babilon, ond cymerodd y Brenin Cyrus hwy o'r deml ym Mabilon a'u rhoi i u373?r o'r enw Sesbassar, a oedd wedi ei benodi'n llywodraethwr.

¹⁴And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was at Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those did king Cyrus take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he had appointed governor.

¹⁵ Dywedodd wrtho, "Cymer y llestri yma, a dos � hwy i'r deml sydd yn Jerwsalem, a bydded i du375? Dduw gael ei adeiladu ar ei hen safle."

¹⁵And he said to him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is at Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place.

¹⁶ Yna daeth Sesbassar a gosod sylfeini tu375? Dduw yn Jerwsalem; a bu adeiladu o'r amser hwnnw hyd yn awr, ond nid yw wedi ei orffen.'

¹⁶Then came the same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and since that time even until now has it been in building, and it is not completed.

¹⁷ Felly, os cytuna'r brenin, chwilier yn yr archifau brenhinol ym Mabilon i weld a roes y Brenin Cyrus orchymyn i ailadeiladu'r deml hon yn Jerwsalem. Anfoner i ni ddyfarniad y brenin ynglu375?n �'r mater."

¹⁷And now, if it seem good to the king, let search be made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that orders were given by king Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
