¹ Clywodd Seffateia fab Mattan, Gedaleia fab Pasur, Jucal fab Selemeia, a Pasur fab Malcheia y geiriau yr oedd Jeremeia'n eu llefaru wrth yr holl bobl, gan ddweud,

¹Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,

² "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Pwy bynnag fydd yn aros yn y ddinas hon, fe fydd farw trwy gleddyf, newyn a haint; ond pwy bynnag fydd yn mynd allan at y Caldeaid, bydd hwnnw fyw; bydd yn arbed ei fywyd ac yn byw.'

²Thus says Yahweh, He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.

³ Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Yn ddiau rhoir y ddinas hon yng ngafael llu brenin Babilon, a bydd ef yn ei hennill.'"

³Thus says Yahweh, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.

⁴ Yna dywedodd y swyddogion wrth y brenin, "Atolwg, rhodder y dyn hwn i farwolaeth; oblegid y mae'n gwanhau dwylo gweddill y milwyr sydd yn y ddinas hon, a phawb o'r bobl, trwy lefaru fel hyn wrthynt. Nid yw'r dyn yn meddwl am les y bobl hyn, ond am eu niwed."

⁴Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death; because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but the hurt.”

⁵ Atebodd y Brenin Sedeceia, "Y mae yn eich dwylo chwi; ni ddichon y brenin wneud dim i'ch gwrthwynebu yn y mater."

⁵Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he who can do anything against you.

⁶ A chymerasant Jeremeia, a'i fwrw i bydew Malcheia, mab y brenin, yng nghyntedd y gwylwyr; gollyngasant Jeremeia i lawr wrth raffau. Nid oedd du373?r yn y pydew, dim ond llaid, a suddodd Jeremeia yn y llaid.

⁶Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.

⁷ Clywodd Ebed-melech yr Ethiopiad, eunuch ym mhlasty'r brenin, eu bod wedi rhoi Jeremeia yn y pydew. Yr oedd y brenin yn eistedd ym mhorth Benjamin,

⁷Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),

⁸ ac aeth Ebed-melech allan o'r plasty at y brenin a dweud,

⁸Ebedmelech went forth out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,

⁹ "F'arglwydd frenin, gwnaeth y gwu375?r hyn ddrwg ym mhob peth a wnaethant i'r proffwyd Jeremeia, trwy ei fwrw i'r pydew; bydd farw yn y lle gan y newyn, am nad oes bara mwyach yn y ddinas."

⁹My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.

¹⁰ Yna gorchmynnodd y brenin i Ebed-melech yr Ethiopiad, "Cymer gyda thi dri o wu375?r, a chodi'r proffwyd Jeremeia o'r pydew cyn iddo farw."

¹⁰Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.

¹¹ Cymerodd Ebed-melech y gwu375?r ac aeth i'r ystafell wisgo yn y plasty, a chymryd oddi yno hen garpiau a hen fratiau, a'u gollwng i lawr wrth raffau at Jeremeia yn y pydew.

¹¹So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

¹² A dywedodd Ebed-melech yr Ethiopiad wrth Jeremeia, "Gosod yr hen garpiau a'r bratiau dan dy geseiliau o dan y rhaffau." Gwnaeth Jeremeia felly.

¹²Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords. Jeremiah did so.

¹³ A thynasant Jeremeia i fyny wrth y rhaffau, a'i godi o'r pydew. Wedi hyn arhosodd Jeremeia yng nghyntedd y gwylwyr.

¹³So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

¹⁴ Anfonodd y Brenin Sedeceia i gyrchu'r proffwyd Jeremeia ato yn y trydydd cyntedd i du375?'r ARGLWYDD, a dywedodd wrth Jeremeia, "Yr wyf am ofyn rhywbeth i ti; paid � chelu dim oddi wrthyf."

¹⁴Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of Yahweh: and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.

¹⁵ Dywedodd Jeremeia wrth Sedeceia, "Os mynegaf i ti, oni roi fi i farwolaeth? Os rhof gyngor i ti, ni wrandewi arnaf."

¹⁵Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? and if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.

¹⁶ Ond tyngodd y Brenin Sedeceia wrth Jeremeia yn gyfrinachol, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD, a roes einioes inni, yn fyw, ni'th rof i farwolaeth, na'th roi yng ngafael y rhai hyn sy'n ceisio dy einioes."

¹⁶So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Yahweh lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.

¹⁷ Yna dywedodd Jeremeia wrth Sedeceia, "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw'r Lluoedd, Duw Israel: 'Os ei allan ac ymostwng i swyddogion brenin Babilon, yna byddi fyw, ac ni losgir y ddinas hon � th�n; byddi fyw, ti a'th dylwyth.

¹⁷Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel: If you will go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you shall live, and your house.

¹⁸ Os nad ei allan at swyddogion brenin Babilon, rhoir y ddinas hon yng ngafael y Caldeaid, ac fe'i llosgant hi � th�n, ac ni fyddi dithau'n dianc o'u gafael.'"

¹⁸But if you will not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.

¹⁹ A dywedodd y Brenin Sedeceia wrth Jeremeia, "Y mae arnaf ofn yr Iddewon a drodd at y Caldeaid, rhag iddynt fy rhoi yn eu gafael ac iddynt fy ngham-drin."

¹⁹Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.

²⁰ Dywedodd Jeremeia, "Ni'th roddir yn eu gafael. Gwrando yn awr ar lais yr ARGLWYDD yn yr hyn yr wyf yn ei lefaru wrthyt, a bydd yn dda iti, a chedwir dy einioes.

²⁰But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the voice of Yahweh, in that which I speak to you: so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.

²¹ Os gwrthodi fynd allan, dyma'r gair a ddatguddiodd yr ARGLWYDD i mi:

²¹But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that Yahweh has shown me:

²² 'Wele, caiff yr holl wragedd a adawyd yn nhu375? brenin Jwda eu dwyn allan at swyddogion brenin Babilon, ac fe ddywedant, "Hudodd dy gyfeillion di, a buont yn drech na thi; yn awr, a'th draed wedi glynu yn y llaid, troesant draw oddi wrthyt."'

²²behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Your familiar friends have set you on, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away back.

²³ Dygir allan dy holl wragedd a'th blant at y Caldeaid, ac ni ddihengi dithau o'u gafael, ond fe'th ddelir yng ngafael brenin Babilon, a llosgir y ddinas hon � th�n."

²³They shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.

²⁴ Yna dywedodd Sedeceia wrth Jeremeia, "Paid � gadael i neb wybod am y geiriau hyn, ac ni fyddi farw.

²⁴Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.

²⁵ Ond os clyw'r swyddogion i mi ymddiddan � thi, a dod atat a dweud wrthyt, 'Mynega i ni beth a draethodd y brenin wrthyt ti, a beth a ddywedaist wrth y brenin; paid � chelu dim oddi wrthym, ac ni'th roddwn i farwolaeth',

²⁵But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you:

²⁶ yna dywedi wrthynt, 'Yr oeddwn yn gwneud cais yn ostyngedig i'r brenin, ar iddo beidio �'m gyrru'n �l i du375? Jonathan i farw yno.'"

²⁶then you shall tell them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.

²⁷ Pan ddaeth yr holl swyddogion at Jeremeia, a'i holi, mynegodd ef iddynt bob peth yn �l gorchymyn y brenin. A pheidiasant �'i holi ragor, ac ni chlywyd am y neges.

²⁷Then came all the princes to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

²⁸ Ac arhosodd Jeremeia yng nghyntedd y gwylwyr hyd y dydd y syrthiodd Jerwsalem, ac yr oedd yno pan syrthiodd Jerwsalem.

²⁸So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
