¹In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.

¹ Yn y drydedd flwyddyn o deyrnasiad Jehoiacim brenin Jwda, daeth Nebuchadnesar brenin Babilon i Jerwsalem a gwarchae arni.

²The Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” ; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

² A rhoddodd yr Arglwydd Jehoiacim brenin Jwda yn ei law, a rhai o lestri tu375? Dduw, ac aeth yntau � hwy i wlad Sinar a'u cadw yn nhrysordy ei dduw.

³The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;

³ Yna gorchmynnodd y brenin i Aspenas, ei brif swyddog, ddewis, o blith teulu brenhinol Israel a'r penaethiaid,

⁴youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.

⁴ rai bechgyn golygus heb unrhyw nam corfforol arnynt, yn hyddysg ym mhob gwyddor, yn ddeallus a gwybodus, ac yn gymwys i wasanaethu llys y brenin, ac iddo'u trwytho yn ll�n ac iaith y Caldeaid.

⁵The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at its end they should stand before the king.

⁵ Trefnodd y brenin iddynt dderbyn bwyd a gwin bob dydd o'i fwrdd ei hun, a chael eu hyfforddi am dair blynedd cyn mynd yn weision i'r llys.

⁶Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

⁶ Yn eu mysg yr oedd Jwdeaid, o'r enwau Daniel, Hananeia, Misael ac Asareia;

⁷The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.

⁷ ond galwodd y prif swyddog Daniel yn Beltesassar, Hananeia yn Sadrach, Misael yn Mesach, ac Asareia yn Abednego.

⁸But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

⁸ Penderfynodd Daniel beidio �'i halogi ei hun � bwyd a gwin o fwrdd y brenin, ac erfyniodd ar y prif swyddog i'w arbed rhag cael ei halogi.

⁹Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.

⁹ Parodd Duw i'r prif swyddog ymddwyn yn ffafriol a charedig at Daniel,

¹⁰The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? so would you endanger my head with the king.

¹⁰ ond dywedodd y prif swyddog wrth Daniel, "Rwy'n ofni f'arglwydd frenin; ef sydd wedi pennu'ch bwyd a'ch diod, a phe sylwai eich bod yn edrych yn fwy gwelw na'ch cyfeillion byddech yn peryglu fy mywyd."

¹¹Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

¹¹ Dywedodd Daniel wrth y swyddog a osododd y prif swyddog i ofalu am Daniel, Hananeia, Misael ac Asareia,

¹²Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.

¹² "Rho brawf ar dy weision am ddeg diwrnod: rhodder inni lysiau i'w bwyta a du373?r i'w yfed,

¹³Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s dainties; and as you see, deal with your servants.

¹³ ac wedyn cymharu'n gwedd ni a gwedd y bechgyn sy'n bwyta o fwyd y brenin. Yna gwna �'th weision fel y gweli'n dda."

¹⁴So he listened to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

¹⁴ Cydsyniodd yntau, a'u profi am ddeg diwrnod.

¹⁵At the end of ten days their faces appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king’s dainties.

¹⁵ Ac ymhen y deg diwrnod yr oeddent yn edrych yn well ac yn fwy graenus na'r holl fechgyn oedd yn bwyta o fwyd y brenin.

¹⁶So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.

¹⁶ Felly cadwodd y swyddog y bwyd a'r gwin, a rhoi llysiau iddynt.

¹⁷Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

¹⁷ Rhoddodd Duw i'r pedwar bachgen wybod a deall pob math o lenyddiaeth a gwyddor; a chafodd Daniel y gallu i ddatrys pob gweledigaeth a breuddwyd.

¹⁸At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

¹⁸ Pan ddaeth yr amser a benodwyd gan y brenin i'w dwyn i'r llys, cyflwynodd y prif swyddog hwy i Nebuchadnesar.

¹⁹The king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

¹⁹ Ar �l i'r brenin siarad � hwy, ni chafwyd neb yn eu mysg fel Daniel, Hananeia, Misael ac Asareia; felly daethant hwy yn weision i'r brenin.

²⁰In every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.

²⁰ A phan fyddai'r brenin yn eu holi ar unrhyw fater o ddoethineb a deall, byddai'n eu cael ddengwaith yn well na holl ddewiniaid a swynwyr ei deyrnas.

²¹Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.

²¹ A bu Daniel yno hyd flwyddyn gyntaf y Brenin Cyrus.
