¹ Y diwrnod hwnnw rhoddodd y Brenin Ahasferus du375? Haman, gelyn yr Iddewon, i'r Frenhines Esther; a daeth Mordecai i u373?ydd y brenin, oherwydd yr oedd Esther wedi dweud wrtho pa berthynas oedd ef iddi.

¹On that day, King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews’ enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.

² Yna tynnodd y brenin ei fodrwy, a gymerodd yn �l oddi ar Haman, a'i rhoi i Mordecai. Rhoddodd Esther du375? Haman yng ngofal Mordecai.

²The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

³ Unwaith eto apeliodd Esther at y brenin a syrthio wrth ei draed. Wylodd ac erfyn arno rwystro'r drygioni a gynllwynodd Haman yr Agagiad yn erbyn yr Iddewon.

³Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

⁴ Estynnodd y brenin ei deyrnwialen aur at Esther, a chododd hithau a sefyll o'i flaen a dweud,

⁴Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

⁵ "Os gw�l y brenin yn dda, ac os cefais ffafr ganddo, a bod y mater yn dderbyniol ganddo, a minnau yn ei foddhau, anfoned wu375?s i alw'n �l y llythyrau a ysgrifennodd Haman fab Hammedatha yr Agagiad gyda'r bwriad o ddifa'r Iddewon sydd ym mhob un o daleithiau'r brenin.

⁵She said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

⁶ Sut y gallaf edrych ar y trybini sy'n dod ar fy mhobl? Sut y gallaf oddef gweld dinistr fy nghenedl?"

⁶For how can I endure to see the evil that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?”

⁷ Yna dywedodd y Brenin Ahasferus wrth y Frenhines Esther a Mordecai'r Iddew, "Yr wyf wedi rhoi tu375? Haman i Esther, a chrogwyd yntau ar grocbren am iddo ymosod ar yr Iddewon.

⁷Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.

⁸ Yn awr ysgrifennwch chwi fel y mynnoch ynglu375?n �'r Iddewon yn fy enw i, a selio'r ddogfen �'r s�l frenhinol, oherwydd ni ellir newid gwu375?s a ysgrifennwyd yn enw'r brenin ac a seliwyd �'r s�l frenhinol."

⁸Write also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may not be reversed by any man.”

⁹ Yna, ar y trydydd dydd ar hugain o'r trydydd mis, sef Sifan, galwyd ynghyd ysgrifenyddion y brenin. Ysgrifennwyd, yn union fel y gorchmynnodd Mordecai, at yr Iddewon, at bendefigion, rheolwyr a thywysogion y taleithiau o India i Ethiopia, cant dau ddeg a saith o daleithiau, pob talaith yn ei hysgrifen ei hun a phob cenedl yn ei hiaith ei hun, ac at yr Iddewon yn eu hysgrifen a'u hiaith hwythau.

⁹Then the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.

¹⁰ Ysgrifennwyd y wu375?s yn enw'r Brenin Ahasferus, a'i selio �'r s�l frenhinol. Anfonwyd llythyrau gyda negeswyr yn marchogaeth ar feirch cyflym wedi eu magu yn stablau'r brenin.

¹⁰He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bread from swift steeds.

¹¹ Ynddynt rhoddodd y brenin hawl i'r Iddewon oedd ym mhob dinas i ymgasglu a'u hamddiffyn eu hunain, ac i ddifa, lladd a dinistrio byddin unrhyw genedl neu dalaith a ymosodai arnynt, a'u plant a'u gwragedd, ac ysbeilio'u heiddo.

¹¹In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,

¹² Yr oeddent i wneud hyn trwy holl daleithiau'r Brenin Ahasferus ar ddiwrnod penodedig, y trydydd ar ddeg o'r deuddegfed mis, sef Adar.

¹²on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

¹³ Yr oedd copi o'r wu375?s i'w anfon yn gyfraith i bob talaith, a'i ddangos i'r holl bobloedd, fel y byddai'r Iddewon yn barod y diwrnod hwnnw i ddial ar eu gelynion.

¹³A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

¹⁴ Felly aeth y negeswyr allan yn ddiymdroi, yn marchogaeth ar feirch cyflym y brenin; yr oeddent yn mynd ar frys ar orchymyn y brenin. Cyhoeddwyd y wu375?s hefyd yn Susan y brifddinas.

¹⁴So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Susa.

¹⁵ Yna aeth Mordecai allan o u373?ydd y brenin mewn gwisg frenhinol o las a gwyn, a chyda choron fawr o aur, a mantell o liain main a phorffor; ac yr oedd dinas Susan yn orfoleddus.

¹⁵Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and was glad.

¹⁶ Daeth goleuni, llawenydd, hapusrwydd ac anrhydedd i ran yr Iddewon.

¹⁶The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.

¹⁷ Ym mhob talaith a dinas lle daeth gair a gorchymyn y brenin, yr oedd yr Iddewon yn gwledda ac yn cadw gu373?yl yn llawen a hapus. Ac yr oedd llawer o bobl y wlad yn honni mai Iddewon oeddent, am fod arnynt ofn yr Iddewon.

¹⁷In every province, and in every city, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.
