¹Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

¹ Wedi hyn bu farw Nahas brenin yr Ammoniaid, a daeth ei fab yn frenin yn ei le.

²And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

² Dywedodd Dafydd, "Gwnaf garedigrwydd � Hanun fab Nahas, fel y gwnaeth ei dad � mi." Felly anfonodd negeswyr i'w gysuro am ei dad. Ond pan ddaeth gweision Dafydd i wlad yr Ammoniaid at Hanun i'w gysuro,

³But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

³ dywedodd tywysogion yr Ammoniaid wrth Hanun, "A wyt ti'n tybio mai anrhydeddu dy dad y mae Dafydd wrth anfon cysurwyr atat? Onid er mwyn chwilio'r wlad a'i hysb�o a'i goresgyn y daeth ei weision atat?"

⁴Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.

⁴ Yna cymerodd Hanun weision Dafydd a'u heillio, a thorri gwisg pob un yn ei hanner hyd at ei gluniau, a'u hanfon hwy ymaith.

⁵Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

⁵ Pan ddywedwyd wrth Ddafydd am y dynion, fe anfonodd rai i'w cyfarfod, am fod cywilydd mawr arnynt, a dweud wrthynt am aros yn Jericho a pheidio � dychwelyd nes y byddai eu barfau wedi tyfu.

⁶And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.

⁶ Pan welsant eu bod yn ffiaidd gan Ddafydd, anfonodd Hanun a'r Ammoniaid fil o dalentau arian i gyflogi cerbydau a marchogion o Mesopotamia, Syria-maacha a Soba.

⁷So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

⁷ Cyflogasant ddeuddeng mil ar hugain o gerbydau, yn ogystal � brenin Maacha a'i fyddin, a daethant i wersyllu o flaen Medeba. Ymgasglodd yr Ammoniaid hefyd o'u dinasoedd a dod allan i ryfel.

⁸And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

⁸ Pan glywodd Dafydd, anfonodd Joab allan gyda'r holl fyddin a'r milwyr.

⁹And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.

⁹ Daeth yr Ammoniaid allan a ffurfio rhengoedd ar gyfer y frwydr ger porth y ddinas, ac yr oedd y brenhinoedd, a oedd wedi dod, ar eu pennau eu hunain mewn tir agored.

¹⁰Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

¹⁰ Pan welodd Joab y byddai'n gorfod ymladd o'r tu blaen ac o'r tu �l, dewisodd wu375?r dethol o fyddin Israel, a'u trefnu mewn rhengoedd i wynebu'r Syriaid.

¹¹And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

¹¹ Gosododd weddill y fyddin dan awdurdod ei frawd Abisai, a safasant yn rhengoedd i wynebu'r Ammoniaid.

¹²And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.

¹² A dywedodd, "Os bydd y Syriaid yn drech na mi, tyrd di i'm cynorthwyo; ac os bydd yr Ammoniaid yn drech na thi, dof finnau i'th gynorthwyo di.

¹³Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.

¹³ Bydd yn wrol! Byddwn ddewr dros ein pobl a dinasoedd ein Duw; a bydded i'r ARGLWYDD wneud yr hyn sy'n dda yn ei olwg."

¹⁴So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

¹⁴ Yna nesaodd Joab a'r milwyr oedd gydag ef i ryfel yn erbyn y Syriaid, a ffoesant o'i flaen.

¹⁵And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

¹⁵ Pan welodd yr Ammoniaid fod y Syriaid wedi ffoi, ffoesant hwythau o flaen Abisai ei frawd, a mynd i'r ddinas. Yna dychwelodd Joab i Jerwsalem.

¹⁶And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

¹⁶ Pan welodd y Syriaid iddynt golli'r dydd o flaen Israel, anfonasant negeswyr i gyrchu'r Syriaid o Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates, gyda Sobach, pencapten byddin Hadadeser, yn eu harwain.

¹⁷And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

¹⁷ Pan ddywedwyd wrth Ddafydd, fe gasglodd ynghyd Israel gyfan, croesodd yr Iorddonen, a dod atynt a sefyll yn rhengoedd yn eu herbyn. Trefnodd rengoedd yn erbyn y Syriaid, a brwydrasant hwythau yn ei erbyn.

¹⁸But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

¹⁸ Ffodd y Syriaid o flaen Israel, a lladdodd Dafydd ohonynt saith mil o wu375?r cerbyd a deugain mil o wu375?r traed, a hefyd Sobach y pencapten.

¹⁹And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

¹⁹ Pan welodd gweision Hadadeser iddynt golli'r dydd o flaen Israel, gwnaethant heddwch � Dafydd a phlygu i'w awdurdod. Wedi hyn yr oedd y Syriaid yn anfodlon rhoi rhagor o gymorth i'r Ammoniaid.
