¹ Tra oedd Apolos yng Nghorinth, teithiodd Paul drwy'r parthau uchaf, a daeth i Effesus. Yno daeth o hyd i rai disgyblion,

¹It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.

² a gofynnodd iddynt, "A dderbyniasoch yr Ysbryd Gl�n pan gredasoch?" Meddent hwythau wrtho, "Naddo; ni chlywsom hyd yn oed fod yna Ysbryd Gl�n."

²He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

³ Dywedodd yntau, "� pha fedydd, ynteu, y bedyddiwyd chwi?" Atebasant hwythau, "� bedydd Ioan."

³He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”

⁴ Ac meddai Paul, "Bedydd edifeirwch oedd bedydd Ioan, ac fe ddywedodd wrth y bobl am gredu yn yr hwn oedd yn dod ar ei �l ef, hynny yw, yn Iesu."

⁴Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

⁵ Pan glywsant hyn, fe'u bedyddiwyd hwy i enw'r Arglwydd Iesu,

⁵When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁶ a phan roddodd Paul ei ddwylo arnynt daeth yr Ysbryd Gl�n arnynt, a dechreusant lefaru � thafodau a phroffwydo.

⁶When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

⁷ Yr oedd tua deuddeg ohonynt i gyd.

⁷They were about twelve men in all.

⁸ Aeth i mewn i'r synagog, ac am dri mis bu'n llefaru'n hy yno, gan ymresymu a cheisio eu hargyhoeddi ynghylch teyrnas Dduw.

⁸He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.

⁹ Ond gan fod rhai yn ymgaledu ac yn gwrthod credu, ac yn difenwi'r Ffordd yng ngu373?ydd y gynulleidfa, ymneilltuodd oddi wrthynt gan gymryd ei ddisgyblion oddi yno, a pharhau i ymresymu bob dydd yn narlithfa Tyranus.

⁹But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

¹⁰ Parhaodd hyn am ddwy flynedd, nes i holl drigolion Asia, yn Iddewon a Groegiaid, glywed gair yr Arglwydd.

¹⁰This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

¹¹ Gan mor rhyfeddol oedd y gwyrthiau yr oedd Duw'n eu gwneud trwy ddwylo Paul,

¹¹God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,

¹² byddai pobl yn dod � chadachau a llieiniau oedd wedi cyffwrdd �'i groen ef, ac yn eu gosod ar y cleifion, a byddai eu clefydau yn eu gadael, a'r ysbrydion drwg yn mynd allan ohonynt.

¹²so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.

¹³ A dyma rai o'r Iddewon a fyddai'n mynd o amgylch gan fwrw allan gythreuliaid, hwythau'n ceisio enwi enw'r Arglwydd Iesu uwch ben y rhai oedd ag ysbrydion drwg ganddynt, gan ddweud, "Yr wyf yn eich siarsio chwi yn enw Iesu, yr un y mae Paul yn ei bregethu."

¹³But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

¹⁴ Ac yr oedd gan ryw Scefa, prif offeiriad Iddewig, saith mab oedd yn gwneud hyn.

¹⁴There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

¹⁵ Ond atebodd yr ysbryd drwg hwy, "Iesu, yr wyf yn ei adnabod ef; a Paul, gwn amdano yntau; ond chwi, pwy ydych?"

¹⁵The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”

¹⁶ Dyma'r dyn ac ynddo'r ysbryd drwg yn llamu arnynt, a'u trechu i gyd, a'u maeddu nes iddynt ffoi o'r tu375? yn noeth a chlwyfedig.

¹⁶The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

¹⁷ Daeth hyn yn hysbys i'r holl Iddewon a Groegiaid oedd yn byw yn Effesus, a dychrynodd pawb; a chafodd enw'r Arglwydd Iesu ei fawrygu.

¹⁷This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

¹⁸ Daeth llawer o'r rhai oedd bellach yn gredinwyr, a chyffesu eu dewiniaeth ar goedd.

¹⁸Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.

¹⁹ Casglodd llawer o'r rhai a fu'n ymarfer � swynion eu llyfrau ynghyd, a'u llosgi yng ngu373?ydd pawb; cyfrifwyd gwerth y rhain, a'i gael yn hanner can mil o ddarnau arian.

¹⁹Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. The 50,000 pieces of silver here probably referred to 50,000 drachmas. If so, the value of the burned books was equivalent to about 160 man-years of wages for agricultural laborers

²⁰ Felly, yn �l nerth yr Arglwydd, yr oedd y gair yn cynyddu a llwyddo.

²⁰So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.

²¹ Wedi i'r pethau hyn gael eu cwblhau, rhoddodd Paul ei fryd ar deithio trwy Facedonia ac Achaia, ac yna mynd i Jerwsalem. "Wedi imi fod yno," meddai, "rhaid imi weld Rhufain hefyd."

²¹Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

²² Anfonodd i Facedonia ddau o'r rhai oedd yn gweini arno, Timotheus ac Erastus, ond arhosodd ef ei hun am amser yn Asia.

²²Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

²³ Yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw, bu cynnwrf nid bychan ynglu375?n �'r Ffordd.

²³About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.

²⁴ Yr oedd gof arian o'r enw Demetrius, un oedd yn gwneud cysegrau arian i Artemis, ac felly yn cael llawer o waith i'w grefftwyr.

²⁴For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,

²⁵ Casglodd y rhain ynghyd, gyda'r gweithwyr o grefftau cyffelyb, a dywedodd: "Ddynion, fe wyddoch mai o'r fasnach hon y daw ein ffyniant ni.

²⁵whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.

²⁶ Yr ydych hefyd yn gweld ac yn clywed fod y Paul yma wedi perswadio tyrfa fawr, nid yn Effesus yn unig ond drwy Asia gyfan bron, a'u camarwain drwy ddweud nad duwiau mo'r duwiau o waith llaw.

²⁶You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands.

²⁷ Yn awr, y mae perygl nid yn unig y daw anfri ar ein crefft, ond hefyd y cyfrifir teml y dduwies fawr Artemis yn ddiddim, a hyd yn oed y bydd hi, y dduwies y mae Asia gyfan a'r byd yn ei haddoli, yn cael ei hamddifadu o'i mawrhydi."

²⁷Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”

²⁸ Pan glywsant hyn, llanwyd hwy � dicter, a dechreusant weiddi, "Mawr yw Artemis yr Effesiaid."

²⁸When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

²⁹ Llanwyd y ddinas �'u cynnwrf, a rhuthrasant yn unfryd i'r theatr, gan lusgo gyda hwy gyd�deithwyr Paul, y Macedoniaid Gaius ac Aristarchus.

²⁹The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.

³⁰ Yr oedd Paul yn dymuno cael mynd gerbron y dinasyddion, ond ni adawai'r disgyblion iddo;

³⁰When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.

³¹ a hefyd anfonodd rhai o uchel-swyddogion Asia, a oedd yn gyfeillgar ag ef, neges ato i erfyn arno beidio � mentro i'r theatr.

³¹Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

³² Yn y cyfamser, yr oedd rhai yn gweiddi un peth ac eraill beth arall, oherwydd yr oedd y cyfarfod mewn cynnwrf, ac ni wyddai'r rhan fwyaf i beth yr oeddent wedi dod ynghyd.

³²Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.

³³ Ond tybiodd rhai o'r dyrfa mai Alexander oedd yr achos, gan i'r Iddewon ei wthio ef i'r blaen. Gwnaeth yntau arwydd �'i law, gan ddymuno ei amddiffyn ei hun wrth y dinasyddion.

³³They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.

³⁴ Ond pan ddeallwyd mai Iddew ydoedd, cododd un llef oddi wrthynt oll, a buont yn gweiddi am tua dwy awr, "Mawr yw Artemis yr Effesiaid."

³⁴But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

³⁵ Ond tawelodd clerc y ddinas y dyrfa, a dweud, "Bobl Effesus, pwy sydd heb wybod fod dinas yr Effesiaid yn geidwad teml Artemis fawr, a'r maen a syrthiodd o'r nef?

³⁵When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

³⁶ Felly, gan na all neb wadu hyn, rhaid i chwithau fod yn dawel a pheidio � gwneud dim yn fyrbwyll.

³⁶Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.

³⁷ Yr ydych wedi dod �'r dynion hyn gerbron, er nad ydynt yn ysbeilwyr temlau nac yn cablu ein duwies ni.

³⁷For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

³⁸ Gan hynny, os oes gan Demetrius a'i gyd�grefftwyr achos yn erbyn rhywun, y mae'r llysoedd barn yn cael eu cynnal ac y mae rhaglawiaid yno; gadewch i'r ddwy ochr gyhuddo ei gilydd yn ffurfiol.

³⁸If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.

³⁹ Ond os ydych am fynd �'r peth ymhellach, mewn cyfarfod rheolaidd o'r dinasyddion y mae i gael ei benderfynu.

³⁹But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

⁴⁰ Yn wir, y mae perygl y cyhuddir ninnau o derfysg ynglu375?n �'r cyfarfod heddiw, gan nad oes dim achos amdano, ac am hynny ni allwn roi cyfrif am y cynnwrf yma."

⁴⁰For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”

⁴¹ Ac �'r geiriau hyn daeth �'r cyfarfod i ben.

⁴¹When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
