¹ Pan ddaeth y seithfed mis, a'r Israeliaid erbyn hyn yn eu trefi, ymgasglodd yr holl bobl fel un yn y sgw�r sydd o flaen Porth y Du373?r. Yna dywedasant wrth Esra yr ysgrifennydd am ddod � llyfr cyfraith Moses, sef yr un a orchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD i Israel.

¹all the people gathered together as one man to the open place that was before the water-gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Jehovah had commanded Israel.

² Ar y dydd cyntaf o'r seithfed mis daeth Esra yr offeiriad �'r gyfraith o flaen y gynulleidfa, yn wu375?r a gwragedd, pawb a fedrai ddeall yr hyn a glywai.

²And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation, both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.

³ Darllenodd rannau ohoni, o doriad gwawr hyd hanner dydd, yng ngu373?ydd y gwu375?r a'r gwragedd oedd yn medru deall, gan wynebu'r sgw�r o flaen Porth y Du373?r; a gwrandawodd pawb yn astud ar lyfr y gyfraith.

³And he read in it before the open place that was before the water-gate from the morning until midday, in presence of the men and the women, and those that could understand. And the ears of all the people were [attentive] to the book of the law.

⁴ Safodd Esra yr ysgrifennydd ar bulpud pren oedd wedi ei wneud i'r diben. Ar yr ochr dde iddo safodd Matitheia, Sema, Anaia, Ureia, Hilceia a Maaseia, ac ar y chwith Pedaia, Misael, Malcheia, Hasum, Hasbadana, Sechareia a Mesulam.

⁴And Ezra the scribe stood upon a high stage of wood, which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkijah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam.

⁵ Agorodd Esra y llyfr yng ngolwg yr holl bobl, oherwydd yr oedd ef yn uwch na hwy, a phan agorodd y llyfr, safodd pawb ar eu traed.

⁵And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up.

⁶ Bendithiodd Esra yr ARGLWYDD, y Duw mawr, ac atebodd yr holl bobl, "Amen, Amen", gan godi eu dwylo ac ymgrymu ac addoli'r ARGLWYDD �'u hwynebau tua'r ddaear.

⁶And Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God; and all the people answered, Amen, Amen! with lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground.

⁷ Yr oedd y Lefiaid, Jesua, Bani, Serebeia, Jamin, Accub, Sabbethai, Hodeia, Maaseia, Celita, Asareia, Josabad, Hanan, Pelaia, yn egluro'r gyfraith i'r bobl, a hwythau'n aros yn eu lle.

⁷And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people [stood] in their place.

⁸ Yr oeddent yn darllen o lyfr cyfraith Dduw, ac yn ei gyfieithu a'i esbonio fel bod pawb yn deall y darlleniad.

⁸And they read in the law of God distinctly out of the book, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.

⁹ Yna dywedodd Nehemeia y llywodraethwr ac Esra yr offeiriad a'r ysgrifennydd, a'r Lefiaid oedd yn hyfforddi'r bobl, wrth yr holl bobl, "Y mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd i'r ARGLWYDD eich Duw; peidiwch � galaru nac wylo." Oherwydd yr oedd pawb yn wylo wrth wrando ar eiriau'r gyfraith.

⁹And Nehemiah, that is, the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that explained to the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your God: mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.

¹⁰ Yna fe ddywedodd wrthynt, "Ewch, bwytewch ddanteithion ac yfwch win melys a rhannwch �'r sawl sydd heb ddim, oherwydd mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd i'n Harglwydd; felly, peidiwch � galaru, oherwydd llawenhau yn yr ARGLWYDD yw eich nerth."

¹⁰And he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared; for the day is holy to our Lord; and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.

¹¹ A thawelodd y Lefiaid yr holl bobl a dweud, "Byddwch ddistaw; peidiwch � galaru, oherwydd y mae heddiw yn ddydd sanctaidd."

¹¹And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still! for the day is holy; neither be grieved.

¹² Yna aeth pawb i ffwrdd i fwyta ac yfed ac i rannu ag eraill ac i orfoleddu, oherwydd yr oeddent wedi deall yr hyn a ddywedwyd wrthynt.

¹²And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing. For they had understood the words that were declared to them.

¹³ Ar yr ail ddiwrnod daeth pennau-teuluoedd yr holl bobl, a'r offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid, at Esra yr ysgrifennydd er mwyn astudio geiriau'r gyfraith.

¹³And on the second day were gathered together the chief fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to gain wisdom as to the words of the law.

¹⁴ Yn y gyfraith a orchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD trwy Moses, fe gawsant yn ysgrifenedig y dylai'r Israeliaid fyw mewn pebyll yn ystod yr u373?yl yn y seithfed mis,

¹⁴And they found written in the law which Jehovah had commanded through Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month,

¹⁵ a'u bod i anfon gair a chyhoeddi ym mhob un o'u dinasoedd yn ogystal ag yn Jerwsalem, "Ewch allan i'r mynydd, a dygwch gangau olewydd ac olewydd gwyllt a myrtwydd a phalmwydd a choed deiliog i wneud pebyll, fel yr ysgrifennwyd."

¹⁵and that they should publish and proclaim through all their cities, and at Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive-branches, and wild olive-branches, and myrtle-branches, and palm-branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.

¹⁶ Aeth y bobl allan i'w cyrchu, a gwnaethant bebyll iddynt eu hunain, pob un ar do ei du375? ac yn eu cynteddoedd ac yng nghynteddoedd tu375? Dduw ac yn y sgw�r o flaen Porth y Du373?r ac yn y sgw�r o flaen Porth Effraim.

¹⁶And the people went forth and brought [them], and made themselves booths, everyone upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the open space of the water-gate, and in the open space of the gate of Ephraim.

¹⁷ Gwnaeth yr holl gynulleidfa a ddychwelodd o'r gaethglud bebyll, a byw ynddynt. Nid oedd yr Israeliaid wedi gwneud hyn o amser Josua fab Nun hyd y dydd hwnnw; a bu gorfoledd mawr iawn.

¹⁷And all the congregation of them that had come back from the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths. For since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun until that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.

¹⁸ Darllenwyd o lyfr cyfraith Dduw yn feunyddiol o'r dydd cyntaf hyd yr olaf. Cadwasant yr u373?yl am saith diwrnod, ac ar yr wythfed dydd bu cynulliad yn �l y ddefod.

¹⁸Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they observed the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
