¹ Pan glywodd Mordecai am bopeth a ddigwyddodd, rhwygodd ei ddillad a gwisgo sachliain a lludw, a mynd allan i ganol y ddinas a gweiddi'n groch a chwerw.

¹Now when Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and wailed loudly and a bitterly.

² Daeth i ymyl porth y brenin, oherwydd ni ch�i neb oedd yn gwisgo sachliain fynd i mewn i'r porth.

²He came even before the king’s gate, for no one is allowed inside the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.

³ Ym mhob talaith lle y cyrhaeddodd gair a gorchymyn y brenin, yr oedd galar mawr ymysg yr Iddewon, ac yr oeddent yn ymprydio, yn wylo ac yn llefain; a gorweddodd llawer ohonynt mewn sachliain a lludw.

³In every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

⁴ Pan ddaeth morynion ac eunuchiaid y Frenhines Esther a dweud wrthi, yr oedd yn ofidus iawn. Anfonodd ddillad i Mordecai eu gwisgo yn lle'r sachliain oedd amdano, ond gwrthododd ef hwy.

⁴Esther’s maidens and her eunuchs came and told her this, and the queen was exceedingly grieved. She sent clothing to Mordecai, to replace his sackcloth; but he didn’t receive it.

⁵ Yna galwodd Esther ar Hathach, un o eunuchiaid y brenin a ddewiswyd i weini arni, a'i orchymyn i fynd at Mordecai, i gael gwybod beth oedd ystyr hyn a pham y digwyddodd.

⁵Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs, whom he had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai, to find out what this was, and why it was.

⁶ Aeth Hathach allan at Mordecai i sgw�r y ddinas o flaen porth y brenin,

⁶So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to city square which was before the king’s gate.

⁷ a dywedodd Mordecai wrtho am y cwbl a ddigwyddodd iddo, ac am y swm o arian yr addawodd Haman ei dalu i drysorfa'r brenin er mwyn difa'r Iddewon.

⁷Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

⁸ Rhoddodd iddo hefyd gopi o'r wu375?s a gyhoeddwyd yn Susan, yn gorchymyn eu dinistrio, er mwyn iddo yntau ei dangos a'i hegluro i Esther, a dweud wrthi am fynd at y brenin i ymbil ag ef ac erfyn arno dros ei phobl.

⁸He also gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to urge her to go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, for her people.

⁹ Aeth Hathach a dweud wrth Esther yr hyn a ddywedodd Mordecai,

⁹Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

¹⁰ a rhoddodd hithau iddo'r neges hon i Mordecai,

¹⁰Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai:

¹¹ "Y mae holl weision y brenin a phobl ei daleithiau yn gwybod nad oes ond un ddedfryd yn aros unrhyw u373?r neu wraig sy'n mynd i'r cyntedd mewnol at y brenin heb wahoddiad, sef marwolaeth; ni chaiff fyw oni bai i'r brenin estyn ei deyrnwialen aur iddo. Nid wyf fi wedi fy ngalw at y brenin ers deg diwrnod ar hugain bellach."

¹¹“All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden scepter, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”

¹² Pan glywodd Mordecai neges Esther,

¹²They told to Mordecai Esther’s words.

¹³ dywedodd wrthynt am ei hateb fel hyn, "Paid � meddwl y cei di yn unig o'r holl Iddewon dy arbed, am dy fod yn byw yn nhu375?'r brenin.

¹³Then Mordecai asked them return answer to Esther, “Don’t think to yourself that you will escape in the king’s house any more than all the Jews.

¹⁴ Os byddi'n gwrthod siarad yn awr, daw ymwared a chymorth i'r Iddewon o le arall, ond byddi di a thu375? dy dad yn trengi. Pwy a u373?yr nad ar gyfer y fath amser � hwn y daethost i'r frenhiniaeth?"

¹⁴For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

¹⁵ Dywedodd Esther wrthynt am roi'r ateb hwn i Mordecai:

¹⁵Then Esther asked them to answer Mordecai,

¹⁶ "Dos i gasglu ynghyd yr holl Iddewon sy'n byw yn Susan, ac ymprydiwch drosof; peidiwch � bwyta nac yfed, ddydd na nos, am dridiau, ac fe wnaf finnau a'm morynion yr un fath. Yna af at y brenin, er fy mod yn torri'r gyfraith; ac os trengaf, mi drengaf."

¹⁶“Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

¹⁷ Aeth Mordecai ymaith a gwneud popeth a orchmynnodd Esther iddo.

¹⁷So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
