¹ Priododd gu373?r o dylwyth Lefi ag un o ferched Lefi.

¹A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.

² Beichiogodd hithau ac esgor ar fab, a phan welodd ei fod yn dlws, fe'i cuddiodd am dri mis.

²The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.

³ Ond gan na allai ei guddio'n hwy, cymerodd gawell wedi ei wneud o lafrwyn a'i ddwbio � chlai a phyg; rhoddodd y plentyn ynddo a'i osod ymysg yr hesg ar lan y Neil.

³When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.

⁴ Yr oedd chwaer y plentyn yn sefyll nid nepell oddi wrtho er mwyn cael gwybod beth a ddigwyddai iddo.

⁴His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.

⁵ Daeth merch Pharo i ymdrochi yn yr afon tra oedd ei morynion yn cerdded ar y lan, a phan welodd y cawell yng nghanol yr hesg, anfonodd un ohonynt i'w n�l.

⁵Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it.

⁶ Wedi iddi ei agor, fe welodd y plentyn, ac yr oedd y bachgen yn wylo. Tosturiodd hithau wrtho a dweud, "Un o blant yr Hebreaid yw hwn."

⁶She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

⁷ Yna gofynnodd chwaer y plentyn i ferch Pharo, "A gaf fi fynd i chwilio am famaeth o blith gwragedd yr Hebreaid, iddi fagu'r plentyn iti?"

⁷Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

⁸ Atebodd merch Pharo, "Dos." Felly aeth y ferch ymaith a galw mam y plentyn.

⁸Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The maiden went and called the child’s mother.

⁹ Dywedodd merch Pharo wrth honno, "Cymer y plentyn hwn a'i fagu imi, ac fe roddaf finnau d�l iti." Felly cymerodd y wraig y plentyn a'i fagu.

⁹Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.

¹⁰ Wedi i'r plentyn dyfu i fyny, aeth ag ef yn �l at ferch Pharo. Mabwysiadodd hithau ef a'i enwi'n Moses, oherwydd iddi ddweud, "Tynnais ef allan o'r du373?r."

¹⁰The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Moses” sounds like the Hebrew for “draw out”. and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

¹¹ Un diwrnod, wedi i Moses dyfu i fyny, aeth allan at ei bobl ac edrych ar eu beichiau. Gwelodd Eifftiwr yn taro Hebr�wr, un o'i frodyr,

¹¹It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

¹² ac wedi edrych o'i amgylch a gweld nad oedd neb yno, lladdodd Moses yr Eifftiwr a'i guddio yn y tywod.

¹²He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

¹³ Pan aeth allan drannoeth a gweld dau Hebr�wr yn ymladd �'i gilydd, gofynnodd i'r un oedd ar fai, "Pam yr wyt yn taro dy gyfaill?"

¹³He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”

¹⁴ Atebodd yntau, "Pwy a'th benododd di yn bennaeth ac yn farnwr arnom? A wyt am fy lladd i fel y lleddaist yr Eifftiwr?" Daeth ofn ar Moses o sylweddoli fod y peth yn hysbys.

¹⁴He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”

¹⁵ Pan glywodd Pharo am hyn, ceisiodd ladd Moses, ond ffodd ef oddi wrtho a mynd i fyw i wlad Midian; ac yno eisteddodd i lawr yn ymyl pydew.

¹⁵Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

¹⁶ Yr oedd gan offeiriad Midian saith o ferched, a daethant i godi du373?r er mwyn llenwi'r cafnau a dyfrhau defaid eu tad.

¹⁶Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

¹⁷ Daeth bugeiliaid heibio a'u gyrru oddi yno, ond cododd Moses ar ei draed a'u cynorthwyo i ddyfrhau eu praidd.

¹⁷The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

¹⁸ Pan ddaeth y merched at Reuel eu tad, gofynnodd, "Sut y daethoch yn �l mor fuan heddiw?"

¹⁸When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”

¹⁹ Dywedasant hwythau, "Eifftiwr a ddaeth i'n hamddiffyn rhag y bugeiliaid, a chodi du373?r i ddyfrhau'r praidd."

¹⁹They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”

²⁰ Yna gofynnodd yntau iddynt, "Ple mae'r dyn? Pam yr ydych wedi ei adael ar �l? Galwch arno, iddo gael tamaid i'w fwyta."

²⁰He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”

²¹ Cytunodd Moses i aros gyda'r gu373?r, a rhoddodd yntau ei ferch Seffora yn wraig iddo.

²¹Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.

²² Esgorodd hithau ar fab, a galwodd Moses ef yn Gersom, oherwydd dywedodd, "Dieithryn ydwyf mewn gwlad ddieithr."

²²She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, “Gershom” sounds like the Hebrew for “an alien there.” for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”

²³ Yn ystod yr amser maith hwn, bu farw brenin yr Aifft. Ond yr oedd pobl Israel yn dal i riddfan oherwydd eu caethiwed, ac yn gweiddi am gymorth, a daeth eu gwaedd o achos eu caethiwed at Dduw.

²³It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

²⁴ Clywodd Duw eu cwynfan, a chofiodd ei gyfamod ag Abraham, Isaac a Jacob;

²⁴God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

²⁵ edrychodd ar bobl Israel ac ystyriodd eu cyflwr.

²⁵God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.
