1 Dyma'r gair a lefarodd y proffwyd Jeremeia wrth Baruch fab Nereia, pan ysgrifennodd ef y geiriau hyn mewn llyfr, yn �l cyfarwyddyd Jeremeia, yn y bedwaredd flwyddyn i Jehoiacim fab Joseia, brenin Jwda:
1The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2 "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel wrthyt ti, Baruch:
2Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:
3 'Dywedaist, "Gwae fi, oherwydd ychwanegodd yr ARGLWYDD dristwch at fy ngofid; diffygiais gan fy ngriddfan, ac ni chefais orffwys."'
3You said, Woe is me now! for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.
4 Fel hyn y dywedi wrth Baruch: 'Dyma air yr ARGLWYDD: Wele, fe dynnaf i lawr yr hyn a adeiledais, a diwreiddio'r hyn a blennais. Digwydd hyn i'r holl wlad.
4You shall tell him, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.
5 A thithau, a geisi i ti dy hun bethau mawrion? Paid �'u ceisio, oherwydd dyma fi'n dod � drwg ar bob cnawd,' medd yr ARGLWYDD; 'ond gadawaf i ti arbed dy fywyd, ple bynnag yr ei.'"
5Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says Yahweh; but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.
