¹ Yna, ar orchymyn y Brenin Dareius, chwiliwyd yn yr archifau ym Mabilon lle cedwid y dogfennau.

¹Then king Darius gave orders, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.

² Ac ym mhalas Ecbatana yn nhalaith Media cafwyd sgr�l, a dyma'r cofnod oedd wedi ei ysgrifennu arni:

²And there was found at Achmetha in the fortress that is in the province of Media a roll, and therein was a record thus written:

³ "Ym mlwyddyn gyntaf ei deyrnasiad gorchmynnodd y Brenin Cyrus fel hyn am du375? Dduw yn Jerwsalem: Ailadeilader y tu375? yn lle i aberthu ac i ddwyn poethoffrymau.

³In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus made a decree [concerning] the house of God at Jerusalem: Let the house be built for a place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be solidly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits,

⁴ Ei uchder fydd trigain cufydd a'i led trigain cufydd, gyda thair rhes o gerrig mawr ac un rhes o goed newydd; taler y gost o'r drysorfa frenhinol.

⁴[with] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:

⁵ Hefyd, dychweler i'r deml yn Jerwsalem lestri aur ac arian tu375? Dduw, a ddygodd Nebuchadnesar o'r deml yn Jerwsalem a'u cludo i Fabilon; dychweler pob un i'w le priodol yn nhu375? Dduw."

⁵and also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple that is at Jerusalem, in their place; and thou shalt put [them] in the house of God.

⁶ A dyfarniad y Brenin Dareius oedd: "Yn awr, Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Seth-arbosnai a'ch cefnogwyr, penaethiaid Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, cadwch draw oddi yno;

⁶Therefore Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:

⁷ peidiwch ag ymyrryd � gwaith tu375? Dduw; gadewch i bennaeth yr Iddewon a'u henuriaid ailgodi tu375? Dduw ar ei hen safle.

⁷let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.

⁸ Ar fy ngorchymyn i, fel hyn yr ydych i gydweithredu � henuriaid yr Iddewon i ailadeiladu tu375? Dduw: taler yn llawn ac yn ddiymdroi i'r dynion hyn dreth talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates allan o'r drysorfa frenhinol.

⁸Moreover, I give orders what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews, for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be diligently given to these men, that they be not hindered.

⁹ Rhodder iddynt bob dydd yn ddi-feth beth bynnag sy'n angenrheidiol i aberthu i Dduw'r nefoedd � teirw, hyrddod, defaid, gwenith, halen, gwin ac olew �

⁹And that which they have need of, both young bullocks and rams and lambs, for the burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;

¹⁰ yn �l gofynion yr offeiriaid yn Jerwsalem, fel y dygont ebyrth cymeradwy i Dduw'r nefoedd a gwedd�o dros y brenin a'i feibion.

¹⁰that they may present sweet odours to the God of the heavens, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.

¹¹ Ac yr wyf yn gorchymyn, os bydd i unrhyw un ymyrryd �'r datganiad hwn, fod trawst i'w dynnu o'i du375? a'i godi, a'i fod yntau i'w grogi arno, a bod ei gartref i'w droi'n domen.

¹¹Also I have given order that whosoever shall alter this rescript, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

¹² A bydded i'r Duw sydd wedi gosod ei enw yno ddymchwel pob brenin a chenedl sy'n beiddio ymyrryd � hyn neu'n dinistrio tu375?'r Duw hwn yn Jerwsalem. Myfi, Dareius, sy'n rhoi'r gorchymyn hwn; rhaid ei gadw'n fanwl."

¹²And the God that has caused his name to dwell there overthrow every king and people that shall put forth their hand to alter [or] to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have given [this] order; let it be done diligently.

¹³ Yna gwnaeth Tatnai, llywodraethwr talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, a Setharbosnai a'u cefnogwyr yn union fel yr oedd y Brenin Dareius wedi gorchymyn.

¹³Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, because of that which king Darius had sent, did so diligently.

¹⁴ Trwy gymorth proffwydoliaeth Haggai'r proffwyd a Sechareia fab Ido, llwyddodd henuriaid yr Iddewon gyda'r adeiladu, a'i orffen yn �l gorchymyn Duw Israel a gorchymyn Cyrus a Dareius ac Artaxerxes brenin Persia.

¹⁴And the elders of the Jews built; and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and completed [it] according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

¹⁵ Gorffennwyd y tu375? hwn ar y trydydd o fis Adar, yn y chweched flwyddyn o deyrnasiad y Brenin Dareius.

¹⁵And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.

¹⁶ A chysegrwyd tu375? Dduw mewn llawenydd gan yr Israeliaid, yr offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid a gweddill y rhai oedd wedi bod yn y gaethglud.

¹⁶And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy;

¹⁷ Wrth gysegru tu375? Dduw, aberthwyd cant o deirw, dau gant o hyrddod, pedwar cant o u373?yn, a deuddeg bwch gafr, yn �l nifer llwythau Israel, yn aberth dros bechod ar ran holl Israel.

¹⁷and they presented at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

¹⁸ Trefnwyd yr offeiriaid yn eu dosbarthiadau a'r Lefiaid yn eu hadrannau ar gyfer gwasanaethu Duw yn Jerwsalem, fel y mae'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr Moses.

¹⁸And they set the priests in their classes, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem: as it is written in the book of Moses.

¹⁹ Ac ar y pedwerydd dydd ar ddeg o'r mis cyntaf cadwodd y rhai oedd wedi bod yn y gaethglud y Pasg.

¹⁹And the children of the captivity held the passover upon the fourteenth of the first month.

²⁰ Am fod pob un o'r offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid wedi ei buro'i hun, a'u bod i gyd yn bur, aberthwyd y Pasg ar gyfer pawb a ddaeth o'r gaethglud, a'u cyd-offeiriaid a hwy eu hunain.

²⁰For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves as one [man]: they were all pure; and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.

²¹ Bwytawyd y Pasg gan yr Israeliaid a ddychwelodd o'r gaethglud a chan bawb oedd wedi ymwahanu oddi wrth aflendid y bobloedd oddi amgylch ac wedi dod atynt i geisio ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel.

²¹And the children of Israel that were come back out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah the God of Israel, did eat;

²² Ac am saith diwrnod cadwasant u373?yl y Bara Croyw mewn llawenydd, oherwydd i'r ARGLWYDD beri llawenydd iddynt trwy droi calon brenin Asyria tuag atynt i'w cynorthwyo yng ngwaith tu375? Dduw, Duw Israel.

²²and they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for Jehovah had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
