¹It happened in the fourth year of king Darius that the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.

¹ Ym mhedwaredd flwyddyn y Brenin Dareius, ar y pedwerydd dydd o'r nawfed mis, Cislef, daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Sechareia.

²The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat Yahweh’s favor,

² Yr oedd pobl Bethel wedi anfon Sareser a Regem-melech a'u gwu375?r i geisio ffafr yr ARGLWYDD,

³and to speak to the priests of the house of Yahweh of Armies, and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?”

³ ac i ofyn i'r offeiriaid oedd yn nhu375? ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd ac i'r proffwydi, "A ddylid galaru ac ymprydio yn y pumed mis fel y gwneir ers blynyddoedd bellach?"

⁴Then the word of Yahweh of Armies came to me, saying,

⁴ Yna daeth gair ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd ataf a dweud,

⁵“Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?

⁵ "Dywed wrth holl bobl y tir ac wrth yr offeiriaid, 'Pan oeddech yn ymprydio ac yn galaru yn y pumed mis ac yn y seithfed mis y deng mlynedd a thrigain hyn, ai er fy mwyn i yr oeddech yn ymprydio?

⁶When you eat, and when you drink, don’t you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

⁶ A phan oeddech yn bwyta ac yn yfed, onid er eich mwyn eich hunain yr oeddech yn bwyta ac yn yfed?

⁷Aren’t these the words which Yahweh proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?’”

⁷ Onid hyn a gyhoeddodd yr ARGLWYDD trwy'r proffwydi gynt pan oedd Jerwsalem yn boblog a llewyrchus, gyda'i threfi o'i hamgylch, a'r Negef a'r Seffela hefyd yn boblog?'"

⁸The word of Yahweh came to Zechariah, saying,

⁸ Daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Sechareia:

⁹“Thus has Yahweh of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.

⁹ "Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: 'Barnwch yn deg, a dangoswch drugaredd a thosturi tuag at eich gilydd;

¹⁰Don’t oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’

¹⁰ peidiwch � gorthrymu'r weddw, yr amddifad, yr estron a'r tlawd, na dyfeisio yn eich meddyliau ddrwg i'ch gilydd.'

¹¹But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

¹¹ Ond gwrthodasant wrando, a throi cefn yn ystyfnig arnaf, a chau eu clustiau rhag iddynt glywed.

¹²Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which Yahweh of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of Armies.

¹² Gwnaethant eu calonnau fel carreg rhag clywed y gyfraith a'r geiriau a anfonodd ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd �'i ysbryd trwy'r proffwydi gynt; a daeth digofaint mawr oddi wrth ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd.

¹³It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

¹³ 'Nid oeddent hwy'n gwrando pan oeddwn i'n galw; yn yr un modd nid oeddwn innau'n gwrando pan oeddent hwy'n galw,' medd ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd,

¹⁴“but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate.”

¹⁴ 'a gwasgerais hwy ymhlith yr holl genhedloedd nad oeddent yn eu hadnabod, a gadael eu tir yn ddiffaith ar eu h�l, heb neb yn mynd a dod yno. Felly y gwnaethant eu tir dymunol yn ddiffeithwch.'"
