1 Ac ym mis Nisan, yn ugeinfed flwyddyn y Brenin Artaxerxes, cymerais y gwin oedd wedi ei osod o'i flaen, a'i roi iddo. Yr oeddwn yn drist yn ei u373?ydd,
1It happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad before in his presence.
2 a gofynnodd y brenin i mi, "Pam yr wyt yn drist? Nid wyt yn glaf; felly nid yw hyn ond tristwch calon." Daeth ofn mawr arnaf
2The king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart.” Then I was very much afraid.
3 a dywedais, "O frenin, bydd fyw byth! Sut y medraf beidio ag edrych yn drist pan yw'r ddinas lle y claddwyd fy hynafiaid yn adfeilion, a'i phyrth wedi eu hysu � th�n?"
3I said to the king, “Let the king live forever! Why shouldn’t my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?”
4 Dywedodd y brenin, "Beth yw dy ddymuniad?" Yna gwedd�ais ar Dduw'r nefoedd,
4Then the king said to me, “For what do you make request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.
5 a dweud wrth y brenin, "Os gw�l y brenin yn dda, ac os yw dy was yn gymeradwy gennyt, anfon fi i Jwda, i'r ddinas lle y claddwyd fy hynafiaid, i'w hailadeiladu."
5I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may build it.”
6 Ac meddai'r brenin wrthyf, a'r frenhines yn eistedd wrth ei ochr, "Pa mor hir fydd dy daith, a pha bryd y dychweli?" Rhoddais amser penodol oedd yn dderbyniol i'r brenin, a gadawodd yntau imi fynd.
6The king said to me (the queen was also sitting by him), “For how long shall your journey be? And when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
7 Yna dywedais wrtho, "Os gw�l y brenin yn dda, rho i mi lythyrau at lywodraethwyr Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates er mwyn iddynt hwyluso fy nhaith i Jwda,
7Moreover I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;
8 a llythyr hefyd at Asaff, ceidwad y goedwig frenhinol, yn gofyn iddo roi coed imi i wneud trawstiau ar gyfer pyrth y palas sydd yn ymyl y deml, a muriau'r ddinas a'r tu375? y byddaf yn byw ynddo." Trwy ffafr fy Nuw cefais fy nymuniad gan y brenin.
8and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple, for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into.” The king granted my requests, because of the good hand of my God on me.
9 Yr oedd y brenin wedi anfon gyda mi swyddogion o'r fyddin a marchogion, a phan ddeuthum at lywodraethwyr Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates rhoddais iddynt lythyrau'r brenin.
9Then I came to the governors beyond the River, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.
10 Ond pan glywodd Sanbalat yr Horoniad a'r gwas Tobeia yr Ammoniad am hyn, yr oeddent yn flin iawn fod rhywun wedi dod i geisio cynorthwyo pobl Israel.
10When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, because a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
11 Wedi imi gyrraedd Jerwsalem a bod yno dridiau,
11So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
12 codais liw nos, myfi a'r ychydig ddynion oedd gyda mi, ond heb ddweud wrth neb beth oedd fy Nuw wedi ei roi yn fy meddwl i'w wneud i Jerwsalem. Nid oedd anifail gyda mi ar wah�n i'r un yr oeddwn yn marchogaeth arno.
12I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; neither was there any animal with me, except the animal that I rode on.
13 Euthum allan liw nos trwy Borth y Glyn i gyfeiriad Ffynnon y Ddraig ac at Borth y Dom, ac archwilio muriau drylliedig Jerwsalem a hefyd ei phyrth a losgwyd � th�n.
13I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the jackal’s well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire.
14 Euthum ymlaen i Borth y Ffynnon ac i Lyn y Brenin, ond nid oedd lle i'm hanifail fynd trwodd.
14Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass.
15 Euthum i fyny'r dyffryn liw nos i archwilio'r mur, ac yna troi'n �l a dychwelyd trwy Borth y Glyn.
15Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.
16 Ni wyddai'r swyddogion i ble yr oeddwn wedi mynd na beth yr oeddwn yn ei wneud; hyd yma nid oeddwn wedi dweud dim wrth yr Iddewon na'r offeiriaid na'r penaethiaid na'r swyddogion na'r rhai a fyddai'n gyfrifol am wneud y gwaith.
16The rulers didn’t know where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.
17 Yna dywedais wrthynt, "Yr ydych yn gweld y trybini yr ydym ynddo; y mae Jerwsalem yn adfeilion a'i phyrth wedi eu llosgi � th�n; dewch, adeiladwn fur Jerwsalem rhag inni fod yn waradwydd mwyach."
17Then I said to them, “You see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won’t be disgraced.”
18 Dywedais wrthynt fel yr oedd fy Nuw wedi fy helpu, a hefyd yr hyn a ddywedodd y brenin wrthyf. Yna dywedasant, "Awn ati i adeiladu." A bu iddynt ymroi i'r gwaith yn ewyllysgar.
18I told them of the hand of my God which was good on me, as also of the king’s words that he had spoken to me. They said, “Let’s rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
19 Pan glywodd Sanbalat yr Horoniad, a'r gwas Tobeia yr Ammoniad, a Gesem yr Arabiad, gwatwarasant ni a'n dirmygu a gofyn, "Beth yw hyn yr ydych yn ei wneud? A ydych yn gwrthryfela yn erbyn y brenin?"
19But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they ridiculed us, and despised us, and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?”
20 Atebais hwy a dweud, "Bydd Duw y nefoedd yn rhoi llwyddiant i ni, ac yr ydym ninnau, ei weision ef, yn mynd ati i adeiladu. Ond nid oes gennych chwi ran na hawl na braint yn Jerwsalem."
20Then answered I them, and said to them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.”
