¹And these are the words of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon

¹ Dyma eiriau'r llythyr a anfonodd y proffwyd Jeremeia o Jerwsalem at weddill yr henuriaid yn y gaethglud, a'r offeiriaid a'r proffwydi, ac at yr holl bobl a gaethgludodd Nebuchadnesar o Jerwsalem i Fabilon.

²(after that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem);

² Bu hyn wedi i'r Brenin Jechoneia, a'r fam frenhines a'r eunuchiaid, swyddogion Jwda a Jerwsalem, a'r seiri a'r gofaint, adael Jerwsalem.

³by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkijah (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), saying,

³ Anfonodd y llythyr trwy law Elasa fab Saffan a Gemareia fab Hilceia, a anfonwyd gan Sedeceia brenin Jwda i Fabilon at Nebuchadnesar brenin Babilon.

⁴Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon:

⁴ Dyma ei eiriau: "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel: 'At yr holl gaethglud a gaethgludais o Jerwsalem i Fabilon.

⁵Build houses, and dwell in them, and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

⁵ Codwch dai a thrigwch ynddynt; plannwch erddi a bwyta o'u ffrwyth;

⁶Take wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and be not diminished.

⁶ priodwch wragedd, a magu meibion a merched; cymerwch wragedd i'ch meibion a rhoi gwu375?r i'ch merched, i fagu meibion a merched; amlhewch yno, ac nid lleihau.

⁷And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto Jehovah for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

⁷ Ceisiwch heddwch y ddinas y caethgludais chwi iddi, a gwedd�wch drosti ar yr ARGLWYDD, oherwydd yn ei heddwch hi y bydd heddwch i chwi.'

⁸For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in your midst, nor your diviners deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams, which ye like to dream.

⁸ "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel: 'Peidiwch � chymryd eich twyllo gan eich proffwydi sydd yn eich mysg, na'ch dewiniaid, a pheidiwch � gwrando ar y breudd-wydion a freuddwydiant.

⁹For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith Jehovah.

⁹ Proffwydant i chwi gelwydd yn f'enw i; nid anfonais hwy,' medd yr ARGLWYDD.

¹⁰For thus saith Jehovah: When seventy years shall be accomplished for Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in bringing you back to this place.

¹⁰ "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Pan gyflawnir deng mlynedd a thrigain i Fabilon, ymwelaf � chwi a chyflawni fy mwriad daionus tuag atoch, i'ch adfer i'r lle hwn.

¹¹For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you in your latter end a hope.

¹¹ Oherwydd myfi sy'n gwybod fy mwriadau a drefnaf ar eich cyfer,' medd yr ARGLWYDD, 'bwriadau o heddwch, nid niwed, i roi ichwi ddyfodol gobeithiol.

¹²And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you;

¹² Yna galwch arnaf, a dewch i wedd�o arnaf, a gwrandawaf arnoch.

¹³and ye shall seek me and find me, for ye shall search for me with all your heart,

¹³ Fe'm ceisiwch a'm cael; pan chwiliwch �'ch holl galon

¹⁴and I will be found of you, saith Jehovah. And I will turn your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will bring you again into the place whence I have caused you to be carried away captive.

¹⁴ fe'm cewch,' medd yr ARGLWYDD, 'ac adferaf ichwi lwyddiant, a'ch casglu o blith yr holl genhedloedd, ac o'r holl leoedd y gyrrais chwi iddynt,' medd yr ARGLWYDD; 'ac fe'ch dychwelaf i'r lle y caethgludwyd chwi ohono.'

¹⁵If ye say, Jehovah hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;

¹⁵ "Yr ydych yn dweud, 'Cododd yr ARGLWYDD broffwydi i ni draw ym Mabilon.'

¹⁶yea, thus saith Jehovah concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;

¹⁶ Ond dywed yr ARGLWYDD fel hyn am y brenin sy'n eistedd ar orsedd Dafydd, ac am yr holl bobl sy'n trigo yn y ddinas hon, a'r rhai nad aethant gyda chwi i'r gaethglud;

¹⁷thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will send against them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like the vile figs, that cannot be eaten for badness.

¹⁷ ie, fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: 'Dyma fi'n anfon arnynt y cleddyf a newyn a haint; a gwnaf hwy fel ffigys drwg, na ellir eu bwyta gan mor ddrwg ydynt.

¹⁸And I will pursue them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will give them over to be driven hither and thither into all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an execration, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I will drive them:

¹⁸ Ymlidiaf hwy �'r cleddyf a newyn a haint, a gwnaf hwy'n arswyd i holl deyrnasoedd y ddaear, yn felltith ac arswyd a syndod a chywilydd ymhlith yr holl genhedloedd y gyrraf hwy atynt.

¹⁹because they have not hearkened to my words, saith Jehovah, wherewith I sent unto them my servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, saith Jehovah.

¹⁹ Megis na wrandawsant ar fy ngeiriau, a anfonais atynt yn gyson trwy fy ngweision y proffwydi,' medd yr ARGLWYDD, 'felly ni wrandawsoch chwithau,' medd yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁰But ye, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon, hear the word of Jehovah.

²⁰ 'Ond yn awr gwrandewch air yr ARGLWYDD, chwi yr holl gaethglud a yrrais o Jerwsalem i Fabilon.'

²¹Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy falsehood unto you in my name: Behold, I will give them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall smite them before your eyes.

²¹ "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel, am Ahab fab Colaia, ac am Sedeceia fab Maaseia, sy'n proffwydo i chwi gelwydd yn fy enw i: 'Dyma fi'n eu rhoi yn llaw Neb-uchadnesar brenin Babilon, a bydd ef yn eu lladd yn eich gu373?ydd chwi.

²²And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah that are in Babylon, saying, Jehovah make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

²² Ac o'u hachos hwy fe gyfyd ymhlith holl gaethglud Jwda ym Mabilon y ffurf hon o felltith: "Boed i'r ARGLWYDD dy drin di fel Sedeceia ac fel Ahab, y rhai a rostiodd brenin Babilon yn y t�n."

²³because they have committed infamy in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken words of falsehood in my name, which I had not commanded them: and I [am] he that knoweth, and [am] witness, saith Jehovah.

²³ Oherwydd gwnaethant yn ysgeler yn Israel, gan odinebu � gwragedd eu cymdogion, a dweud yn f'enw i gelwydd nas gorchmynnais iddynt. Myfi sy'n gwybod, ac yn tystio,' medd yr ARGLWYDD."

²⁴And thou shalt speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

²⁴ "Wrth Semaia y Nehelamiad fe ddywedi,

²⁵Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

²⁵ 'Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, Duw Israel: Anfonaist lythyrau yn d'enw dy hun at holl bobl Jerwsalem, ac at yr offeiriad Seffaneia fab Maaseia ac at yr holl offeiriaid, gan ddweud:

²⁶Jehovah hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that there should be officers [in] the house of Jehovah, over every madman and self-made prophet, that thou shouldest put him in the stocks and in the shackles.

²⁶ Gosododd yr ARGLWYDD di yn offeiriad yn lle Jehoiada'r offeiriad, i arolygu yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD ar bob gu373?r gorffwyll sy'n proffwydo, a'i osod mewn cyffion a rhigod.

²⁷And now, why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you?

²⁷ Yn awr pam na cheryddaist Jeremeia o Anathoth, sy'n proffwydo i chwi?

²⁸Forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying, It will be long; build houses, and dwell [in them], and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

²⁸ Oherwydd anfonodd ef atom i Fabilon a dweud: Bydd y gaethglud hon yn hir; codwch dai a thrigwch ynddynt, a phlannwch erddi a bwyta'u ffrwyth.'"

²⁹-- And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of the prophet Jeremiah.

²⁹ Ac yr oedd yr offeiriad Seffaneia wedi darllen y llythyr hwn yng nghlyw y proffwyd Jeremeia.

³⁰And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

³⁰ A daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Jeremeia a dweud,

³¹Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith Jehovah concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he hath caused you to trust in falsehood;

³¹ "Anfon at yr holl gaethglud a dweud, 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD wrth Semaia y Nehelamiad: Oherwydd i Semaia broffwydo i chwi, a minnau heb ei anfon, a pheri ichwi ymddiried mewn celwydd �

³²therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he see the good that I will do for my people, saith Jehovah; because he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah.

³² am hynny, fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Dyma fi'n ymweld � Semaia y Nehelamiad, ac �'i hil. Ni adewir yr un o'i eiddo ymhlith y bobl hyn, ac ni w�l y daioni yr wyf fi am ei roi i'm pobl, medd yr ARGLWYDD, oherwydd dysgodd wrthryfel yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD.'"
