¹And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

¹ Yn y bedwaredd flwyddyn ar ddeg o deyrnasiad Heseceia, ymosododd Senacherib brenin Asyria ar holl ddinasoedd caerog Jwda a'u goresgyn.

²And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a strong force. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field.

² Ac anfonodd brenin Asyria y prif swyddog � byddin gref o Lachis i Jerwsalem at y Brenin Heseceia; ac fe safodd wrth bistyll y Llyn Uchaf, sydd gerllaw priffordd Maes y Pannwr.

³Then came forth to him Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler.

³ Daeth Eliacim fab Hilceia, arolygwr y palas, ato i'r fan honno, a chydag ef Sebna yr ysgrifennydd a Joa fab Asaff, y cofiadur.

⁴And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trustest?

⁴ Dywedodd y prif swyddog wrthynt, "Dywedwch wrth Heseceia mai dyma neges yr ymerawdwr, brenin Asyria: 'Beth yw sail yr hyder hwn sydd gennyt?

⁵Thou sayest, but it is a word of the lips, [There is] counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted against me?

⁵ A wyt ti'n meddwl bod geiriau yn gwneud y tro ar gyfer rhyfel, yn lle cynllun a nerth? Ar bwy, ynteu, yr wyt yn dibynnu wrth godi gwrthryfel yn f'erbyn?

⁶Behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand, and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon him.

⁶ Ai'r Aifft � ffon o gorsen wedi ei hysigo, sy'n rhwygo ac anafu llaw y sawl sy'n pwyso arni? Un felly yw Pharo brenin yr Aifft i bwy bynnag sy'n dibynnu arno.

⁷And if thou say to me, We rely upon Jehovah our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

⁷ Neu os dywedi wrthyf, "Yr ydym yn dibynnu ar yr ARGLWYDD ein Duw", onid ef yw'r un y tynnodd Heseceia ei uchelfeydd a'i allorau, a dweud wrth Jwda a Jerwsalem, "O flaen yr allor hon yr addolwch"?

⁸And now engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

⁸ Yn awr, beth am daro bargen gyda'm meistr, brenin Asyria? Rhof ddwy fil o feirch iti, os gelli di gael marchogion iddynt.

⁹How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants? And thou reliest upon Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!

⁹ Neu sut y gelli wrthod un capten o blith gweision lleiaf fy meistr, a dibynnu ar yr Aifft am gerbydau a marchogion?

¹⁰And now am I come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.

¹⁰ Heblaw hyn, ai heb yr ARGLWYDD y deuthum i fyny yn erbyn y wlad hon i'w dinistrio? Yr ARGLWYDD a ddywedodd wrthyf, "Dos i fyny yn erbyn y wlad hon, a dinistria hi".'"

¹¹And Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish [language] in the ears of the people that are upon the wall.

¹¹ Dywedodd Eliacim a Sebna a Joa wrth y prif swyddog, "Gwell gennym iti siarad � ni yn Aramaeg, oherwydd yr ydym yn ei deall, a pheidio � siarad yn Hebraeg yng nghlyw'r bobl sydd ar y mur."

¹²And Rab-shakeh said, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?

¹² Ond atebodd y prif swyddog, "Ai at dy feistr a thithau yr anfonodd fy meistr fi i ddweud fy neges, yn hytrach nag at y bobl sydd ar y mur, a fydd, fel chwithau, yn bwyta eu tom ac yn yfed eu du373?r eu hunain?"

¹³And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language], and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!

¹³ Yna fe safodd y prif swyddog a gweiddi'n uchel mewn Hebraeg, "Clywch eiriau'r ymerawdwr, brenin Asyria;

¹⁴Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.

¹⁴ dyma y mae'n ei ddweud: 'Peidiwch � gadael i Heseceia eich twyllo; ni all ef eich gwaredu.

¹⁵Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

¹⁵ Peidiwch � chymryd eich perswadio ganddo i ddibynnu ar yr ARGLWYDD pan yw'n dweud, "Bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn siu373?r o'n gwaredu, ac ni roddir y ddinas hon i afael brenin Asyria."

¹⁶Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern;

¹⁶ Peidiwch � gwrando ar Heseceia.' Dyma eiriau brenin Asyria: 'Gwnewch delerau heddwch � mi; dewch allan ataf; ac yna caiff pob un fwyta o'i winwydden ac o'i ffigysbren, ac yfed du373?r o'i ffynnon ei hun,

¹⁷until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

¹⁷ nes i mi ddod i'ch dwyn i wlad debyg i'ch gwlad eich hun, gwlad u375?d a gwin, gwlad bara a gwinllannoedd.

¹⁸Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

¹⁸ Cymerwch ofal rhag i Heseceia eich hudo chwi trwy ddweud, "Bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn ein gwaredu." A yw duw unrhyw un o'r cenhedloedd wedi gwaredu ei wlad o afael brenin Asyria?

¹⁹Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

¹⁹ Ple mae duwiau Hamath ac Arpad? Ple mae duwiau Seffarfaim? A wnaethant hwy waredu Samaria o'm gafael?

²⁰Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

²⁰ Prun o holl dduwiau'r gwledydd hyn sydd wedi gwaredu ei wlad o'm gafael? Sut, ynteu, y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn mynd i waredu Jerwsalem o'm gafael?'"

²¹And they were silent, and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not.

²¹ Cadw'n ddistaw a wnaeth y bobl, heb ateb gair, oherwydd yr oedd y brenin wedi rhoi gorchymyn nad oeddent i'w ateb.

²²And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.

²² Yna daeth Eliacim fab Hilceia, arolygwr y palas, a Sebna yr ysgrifennydd a Joa fab Asaff, y cofiadur, at Heseceia, a'u dillad wedi eu rhwygo, ac adrodd wrtho yr hyn yr oedd y prif swyddog wedi ei ddweud.
