1 Ar �l hyn, yn nheyrnasiad Artaxerxes brenin Persia, daeth Esra i fyny o Fabilon; hwn oedd Esra fab Seraia, fab Asareia, fab Hilceia,
1And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes, king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkijah,
2 fab Salum, fab Sadoc, fab Ahitub,
2the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
3 fab Amareia, fab Asareia, fab Meraioth,
3the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
4 fab Seraheia, fab Ussi, fab Bucci,
4the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
5 fab Abisua, fab Phinees, fab Eleasar, fab Aaron yr archoffeiriad.
5the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest,
6 Yr oedd Esra yn ysgrifennydd hyddysg yng nghyfraith Moses, a roddwyd gan ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel; ac am ei fod yn derbyn ffafr gan yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw, cafodd y cwbl a ddymunai gan y brenin.
6-- this Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah the God of Israel had given. And the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him.
7 Yn y seithfed flwyddyn i'r Brenin Artaxerxes, dychwelodd i Jerwsalem gyda rhai o'r Israeliaid ac o'r offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid a'r cantorion a'r porthorion a gweision y deml;
7(And there went up [some] of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.)
8 a chyrhaeddodd Jerwsalem yn y pumed mis yn seithfed flwyddyn y brenin.
8And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
9 Yr oedd wedi cychwyn ar y daith o Fabilon ar y dydd cyntaf o'r mis cyntaf, a chyrraedd Jerwsalem ar y dydd cyntaf o'r pumed mis; yr oedd Esra wedi cael ffafr gan ei Dduw,
9For upon the first of the first month the project of going up from Babylon was determined on, and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
10 oherwydd iddo ymroi i chwilio cyfraith yr ARGLWYDD a'i chadw, ac i ddysgu deddfau a chyfreithiau yn Israel.
10For Ezra had directed his heart to seek the law of Jehovah and to do it, and to teach in Israel the statutes and the ordinances.
11 Dyma gopi o'r llythyr a roes y Brenin Artaxerxes i Esra'r offeiriad a'r ysgrifennydd, un cyfarwydd � chynnwys gorchmynion yr ARGLWYDD a'i ddeddfau i Israel:
11And this is the copy of the letter that king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commandments of Jehovah, and of his statutes to Israel:
12 "Artaxerxes brenin y brenhinoedd at Esra'r offeiriad, ysgrifennydd cyfraith Duw'r nefoedd, cyfarchion!
12Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, an accomplished scribe of the law of the God of the heavens, and so forth.
13 Yn awr dyma fy ngorchmynion i bwy bynnag yn fy nheyrnas o bobl Israel a'u hoffeiriaid a'u Lefiaid sy'n dymuno mynd gyda thi i Jerwsalem: caiff fynd.
13I have given orders that all they of the people of Israel, and of their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are disposed to go to Jerusalem, go with thee.
14 Oherwydd fe'th anfonir gan y brenin a'i saith gynghorwr i wneud arolwg o Jwda a Jerwsalem ynglu375?n � chyfraith dy Dduw, sydd dan dy ofal.
14Because thou art sent by the king, and by his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand;
15 Dygi'r arian a'r aur a roddwyd yn wirfoddol gan y brenin a'i gynghorwyr i Dduw Israel, sydd �'i drigfan yn Jerwsalem,
15and to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is at Jerusalem,
16 a hefyd yr holl arian a'r aur a gei di trwy holl dalaith Babilon, ac offrymau gwirfoddol y bobl a'r offeiriaid a roddwyd at du375? eu Duw yn Jerwsalem.
16and all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, besides the voluntary offering of the people, and of the priests, who offer willingly for the house of their God which is at Jerusalem.
17 �'r arian yma gofala brynu teirw, hyrddod ac u373?yn, gyda'u bwydoffrwm a'u diodoffrwm, a'u haberthu ar allor tu375? eich Duw yn Jerwsalem.
17Therefore thou shalt buy diligently with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their oblations and their drink-offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is at Jerusalem.
18 � gweddill yr arian a'r aur cei di a'th gymrodyr wneud fel y gwelwch orau, yn �l ewyllys eich Duw.
18And whatever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do according to the will of your God.
19 Am y llestri a roddwyd i ti at wasanaeth tu375? dy Dduw, gosod hwy o'i flaen yn Jerwsalem.
19And the vessels that have been given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20 A pha beth bynnag arall sy'n angenrheidiol i du375? dy Dduw, ac y disgwylir i ti ei roi, rho ef o storfa'r brenin.
20And whatever more shall be needful for the house of thy God which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
21 Ac yr wyf fi, y Brenin Artaxerxes, yn rhoi'r gorchymyn hwn i holl drysoryddion talaith Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates: Rhowch yn ddiymdroi bob peth a ofynnir ichwi gan Esra'r offeiriad, ysgrifennydd cyfraith Duw'r nefoedd,
21And I, I Artaxerxes the king, do give orders to all the treasurers that are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra the priest and scribe of the law of the God of the heavens shall require of you, it be done diligently,
22 hyd at gan talent o arian, can mesur yr un o wenith, gwin ac olew, a halen heb fesur.
22unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing [how much].
23 Gwnewch bopeth ar gyfer tu375? Duw'r nefoedd yn union fel y mae Duw'r nefoedd wedi ei orchymyn, rhag iddo lidio yn erbyn teyrnas y brenin a'i feibion.
23Whatever is commanded by the God of the heavens, let it be carefully done for the house of the God of the heavens; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Yr ydym hefyd yn eich hysbysu nad yw'n gyfreithlon gosod treth, teyrnged na tholl ar neb o offeiriaid, Lefiaid, cantorion, porthorion, gweision na gweinidogion tu375? Dduw.
24Also we inform you, as regards all the priests and Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, and ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, tax, and toll upon them.
25 A thithau, Esra, yn unol �'r ddoethineb ddwyfol sydd gennyt, ethol swyddogion a barnwyr i farnu pawb yn Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates sy'n gwybod cyfraith dy Dduw, ac i ddysgu pawb sydd heb ei gwybod.
25And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knows [them] not.
26 Pob un nad yw'n cadw cyfraith dy Dduw a chyfraith y brenin, dyger ef yn ddi-oed i farn, a'i ddedfrydu naill ai i farwolaeth neu i alltudiaeth neu ddirwy neu garchar."
26And whosoever will not do the law of thy God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed diligently upon him, whether unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27 Yna dywedodd Esra: "Bendigedig fyddo ARGLWYDD Dduw ein hynafiaid, a symbylodd y brenin i harddu tu375?'r ARGLWYDD yn Jerwsalem,
27Blessed be Jehovah the God of our fathers, who has put [such a thing] as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of Jehovah which is at Jerusalem;
28 ac a barodd i mi gael ffafr gan y brenin a'i gynghorwyr a'i bendefigion. Am fod yr ARGLWYDD fy Nuw yn fy nerthu, ymwrolais a chasglu rhai blaenllaw o blith yr Israeliaid i fynd gyda mi."
28and has extended mercy to me before the king and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened, as the hand of Jehovah my God was upon me; and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
