¹In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

¹ Yn yr wythfed mis o ail flwyddyn Dareius, daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at y proffwyd Sechareia fab Beracheia, fab Ido, a dweud,

²“Yahweh was very displeased with your fathers.

² "Digiodd yr ARGLWYDD yn fawr wrth eich hynafiaid.

³Therefore tell them: Thus says Yahweh of Armies: ‘Return to me,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will return to you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

³ Dywed wrthynt, 'Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: Dychwelwch ataf fi,' medd ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, 'a dychwelaf finnau atoch chwi,' medd ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd.

⁴Don’t you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says Yahweh of Armies, ‘Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;’ but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says Yahweh.

⁴ 'Peidiwch � bod fel eich hynafiaid, y galwodd y proffwydi gynt arnynt, a dweud, Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: Trowch oddi wrth eich ffyrdd drygionus a'ch gweithredoedd drygionus, ond ni wrandawsant na rhoi sylw imi,' medd yr ARGLWYDD.

⁵Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

⁵ 'Eich hynafiaid � ple maent? A'r proffwydi � a ydynt i fyw am byth?

⁶But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn’t they overtake your fathers? “Then they repented and said, ‘Just as Yahweh of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.’”

⁶ Ond y geiriau a'r deddfau a orchmynnais i'm gweision y proffwydi � oni ddaethant ar eich hynafiaid? A ddychwelasant hwy a dweud, Gwnaeth ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd fel y bwriadodd i ni am ein ffyrdd a'n gweithredoedd?'"

⁷On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

⁷ Ar y pedwerydd ar hugain o'r unfed mis ar ddeg, sef mis Sebat, o ail flwyddyn Dareius, daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at y proffwyd Sechareia fab Beracheia, fab Ido.

⁸“I had a vision in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.

⁸ Dywedodd Sechareia: Neithiwr cefais weledigaeth, dyn yn marchogaeth ar geffyl coch. Yr oedd yn sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd yn y pant, ac o'i �l yr oedd meirch cochion, brithion a gwynion.

⁹Then I asked, ‘My lord, what are these?’” The angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.”

⁹ A gofynnais, "Beth yw'r rhai hyn, arglwydd?" A dywedodd yr angel oedd yn siarad � mi, "Dangosaf i ti beth ydynt."

¹⁰The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, “They are the ones Yahweh has sent to go back and forth through the earth.”

¹⁰ Yna dywedodd y gu373?r oedd yn sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd, "Dyma'r rhai a anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD i dramwyo dros y ddaear."

¹¹They reported to the angel of Yahweh who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked back and forth through the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace.”

¹¹ A dywedasant wrth angel yr ARGLWYDD, a oedd yn sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd, "Yr ydym wedi bod dros y ddaear, ac y mae'r holl ddaear yn dawel ac yn heddychlon."

¹²Then the angel of Yahweh replied, “O Yahweh of Armies, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?”

¹² Yna atebodd angel yr ARGLWYDD, "O ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, am ba hyd y peidi � thosturio wrth Jerwsalem ac wrth ddinasoedd Jwda, y dangosaist dy lid wrthynt y deng mlynedd a thrigain hyn?"

¹³Yahweh answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.

¹³ A llefarodd yr Arglwydd eiriau caredig a chysurlon wrth yr angel oedd yn siarad � mi,

¹⁴So the angel who talked with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

¹⁴ a dywedodd yr angel oedd yn siarad � mi, "Cyhoedda, Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: 'Yr wyf yn eiddigeddus iawn dros Jerwsalem a thros Seion.

¹⁵I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.”

¹⁵ Yr wyf yn llawn llid mawr yn erbyn y cenhedloedd y mae'n esmwyth arnynt, am iddynt bentyrru drwg ar ddrwg pan nad oedd fy llid ond bychan.'

¹⁶Therefore thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.”’

¹⁶ Am hynny, fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Dychwelaf i Jerwsalem mewn trugaredd ac adeiledir fy nhu375? ynddi,' medd ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd, 'ac estynnir llinyn mesur dros Jerwsalem.'

¹⁷“Proclaim further, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”’”

¹⁷ Cyhoedda hefyd, Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: 'Bydd fy ninasoedd eto'n orlawn o ddaioni; rhydd yr ARGLWYDD eto gysur i Seion, a bydd eto'n dewis Jerwsalem.'"

¹⁸I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns.

¹⁸ Edrychais i fyny a gwelais, ac wele bedwar corn.

¹⁹I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

¹⁹ A gofynnais i'r angel oedd yn siarad � mi, "Beth yw'r rhain?" A dywedodd wrthyf, "Dyma'r cyrn a wasgarodd Jwda, Israel a Jerwsalem."

²⁰Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.

²⁰ Yna dangosodd yr ARGLWYDD imi bedwar gof.

²¹Then I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He said, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

²¹ A dywedais, "Beth y mae'r rhain am ei wneud?" Atebodd, "Bu'r cyrn hyn yn gwasgaru Jwda mor llwyr fel na allai neb godi ei ben; ond daeth y gofaint i'w dychryn a dinistrio cyrn y cenhedloedd a gododd gorn yn erbyn gwlad Jwda i'w gwasgaru."
