¹ Felly, dridiau wedi i Ffestus gyrraedd ei dalaith, aeth i fyny i Jerwsalem o Gesarea,

¹Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

² a gosododd y prif offeiriaid ac arweinwyr yr Iddewon eu hachos yn erbyn Paul ger ei fron.

²Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,

³ Yr oeddent yn ceisio gan Ffestus eu ffafrio hwy yn ei erbyn ef, yn deisyf am iddo anfon amdano i Jerwsalem, ac ar yr un pryd yn gwneud cynllwyn i'w ladd ar y ffordd.

³asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.

⁴ Atebodd Ffestus, fodd bynnag, fod Paul dan warchodaeth yng Nghesarea, a'i fod ef ei hun yn bwriadu cychwyn i ffwrdd yn fuan.

⁴However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

⁵ "Felly," meddai, "gadewch i'r gwu375?r sydd ag awdurdod yn eich plith ddod i lawr gyda mi a'i gyhuddo ef, os yw'r dyn wedi gwneud rhywbeth o'i le."

⁵“Let them therefore,” said he, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”

⁶ Arhosodd Ffestus gyda hwy am wyth neu ddeg diwrnod ar y mwyaf. Yna aeth i lawr i Gesarea, a thrannoeth cymerodd ei le yn y llys a gorchymyn dod � Paul gerbron.

⁶When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

⁷ Pan ymddangosodd Paul, safodd yr Iddewon oedd wedi dod i lawr o Jerwsalem o'i amgylch, gan ddwyn llawer o gyhuddiadau difrifol yn ei erbyn.

⁷When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,

⁸ Ond ni allent eu profi yn wyneb yr hyn a ddywedodd Paul yn ei amddiffyniad: "Nid wyf fi wedi troseddu o gwbl, nac yn erbyn Cyfraith yr Iddewon, nac yn erbyn y deml, nac yn erbyn Cesar."

⁸while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”

⁹ Ond gan fod Ffestus yn awyddus i ennill ffafr yr Iddewon, gofynnodd i Paul, "A wyt ti'n fodlon mynd i fyny i Jerwsalem a chael dy farnu yno ger fy mron i am y pethau hyn?"

⁹But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?”

¹⁰ Dywedodd Paul, "Yr wyf fi'n sefyll gerbron llys Cesar, lle y dylid fy marnu. Ni throseddais o gwbl yn erbyn yr Iddewon, fel y gwyddost ti yn eithaf da.

¹⁰But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.

¹¹ Fodd bynnag, os wyf yn droseddwr, ac os wyf wedi gwneud rhywbeth sy'n haeddu marwolaeth, nid wyf yn ceisio osgoi dedfryd marwolaeth. Ond os yw cyhuddiadau'r bobl hyn yn fy erbyn yn ddi-sail, ni all neb fy nhrosglwyddo iddynt fel ffafr. Yr wyf yn apelio at Gesar."

¹¹For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

¹² Yna, wedi iddo drafod y mater �'i gynghorwyr, atebodd Ffestus: "At Gesar yr wyt wedi apelio; at Gesar y cei fynd."

¹²Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”

¹³ Ymhen rhai dyddiau daeth y Brenin Agripa a Bernice i lawr i Gesarea i groesawu Ffestus.

¹³Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.

¹⁴ A chan eu bod yn treulio dyddiau lawer yno, cyflwynodd Ffestus achos Paul i sylw'r brenin. "Y mae yma ddyn," meddai, "wedi ei adael gan Ffelix yn garcharor,

¹⁴As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

¹⁵ a phan oeddwn yn Jerwsalem gosododd y prif offeiriaid a henuriaid yr Iddewon ei achos ef ger fy mron, a gofyn am ei gondemnio.

¹⁵about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

¹⁶ Atebais hwy nad oedd yn arfer gan Rufeinwyr drosglwyddo unrhyw un fel ffafr cyn bod y cyhuddedig yn dod wyneb yn wyneb �'i gyhuddwyr, ac yn cael cyfle i'w amddiffyn ei hun yn erbyn y cyhuddiad.

¹⁶To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

¹⁷ Felly, pan ddaethant ynghyd yma, heb oedi dim cymerais fy lle drannoeth yn y llys, a gorchymyn dod �'r dyn gerbron.

¹⁷When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

¹⁸ Pan gododd ei gyhuddwyr i'w erlyn, nid oeddent yn ei gyhuddo o'r un o'r troseddau a ddisgwyliwn i.

¹⁸Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;

¹⁹ Ond rhyw ddadleuon oedd ganddynt ag ef ynghylch eu crefydd eu hunain, ac ynghylch rhyw Iesu oedd wedi marw, ond y mynnai Paul ei fod yn fyw.

¹⁹but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

²⁰ A chan fy mod mewn penbleth ynglu375?n �'r ddadl ar y pethau hyn, gofynnais iddo a oedd yn dymuno mynd i Jerwsalem, a chael ei farnu amdanynt yno.

²⁰Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

²¹ Ond gan i Paul apelio am gael ei gadw dan warchodaeth, i gael dyfarniad gan yr Ymerawdwr, gorchmynnais ei gadw felly nes imi ei anfon at Gesar."

²¹But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”

²² Meddai Agripa wrth Ffestus, "Mi hoffwn innau glywed y dyn." Meddai yntau, "Fe gei ei glywed yfory."

²²Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”

²³ Trannoeth, felly, daeth Agripa a Bernice, yn fawr eu rhwysg, a mynd i mewn i'r llys ynghyd � chapteiniaid a gwu375?r amlwg y ddinas; ac ar orchymyn Ffestus, daethpwyd � Paul gerbron.

²³So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

²⁴ Ac meddai Ffestus, "Y Brenin Agripa, a chwi oll sydd yma gyda ni, yr ydych yn gweld y dyn hwn, y gwnaeth holl liaws yr Iddewon gais gennyf yn ei gylch, yn Jerwsalem ac yma, gan weiddi na ddylai gael byw ddim mwy.

²⁴Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

²⁵ Ond gwelais i nad oedd wedi gwneud dim yn haeddu marwolaeth; a chan i'r dyn ei hun apelio at yr Ymerawdwr, penderfynais ei anfon ato.

²⁵But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

²⁶ Ond nid oes gennyf ddim byd pendant i'w ysgrifennu amdano at ein Harglwydd. Gan hynny, yr wyf wedi dod ag ef ymlaen ger eich bron chwi, ac yn enwedig ger dy fron di, y Brenin Agripa, er mwyn gwneud archwiliad, a chael rhywbeth i'w ysgrifennu.

²⁶Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something to write.

²⁷ Oherwydd, yn fy marn i, peth afresymol yw anfon carcharor ymlaen heb hyd yn oed egluro'r cyhuddiadau yn ei erbyn."

²⁷For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
