¹And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

¹ Aeth Rehoboam i Sichem, gan mai i Sichem y daethai holl Israel i'w urddo'n frenin.

²And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)

² Pan glywodd Jeroboam fab Nebat, a oedd o hyd yn yr Aifft, lle'r oedd wedi ffoi rhag y Brenin Solomon, arhosodd yn yr Aifft.

³That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

³ Ond galwasant amdano, a daeth Jeroboam a holl gynulliad Israel a dweud wrth Rehoboam,

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

⁴ "Trymhaodd dy dad ein hiau; os gwnei di'n awr ysgafnhau peth ar gaethiwed caled dy dad a'r iau drom a osododd arnom, yna fe'th wasanaethwn."

⁵And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

⁵ Dywedodd yntau wrthynt, "Ewch i ffwrdd am dridiau, ac yna dewch yn �l ataf." Aeth y bobl.

⁶And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

⁶ Ymgynghorodd Rehoboam �'r henuriaid oedd yn llys ei dad Solomon pan oedd yn fyw, a gofynnodd, "Sut y byddech chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn?"

⁷And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

⁷ Eu hateb oedd, "Os byddi di heddiw yn was i'r bobl hyn, a'u gwasanaethu a'u hateb � geiriau teg, byddant yn weision i ti am byth."

⁸But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

⁸ Ond gwrthododd y cyngor a roes yr henuriaid, a cheisiodd gyngor y llanciau oedd yn gyfoed ag ef ac yn aelodau o'i lys.

⁹And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

⁹ Gofynnodd iddynt hwy, "Beth ydych chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyf, 'Ysgafnha rywfaint ar yr iau a osododd dy dad arnom'? "

¹⁰And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

¹⁰ Atebodd y llanciau oedd yn gyfoed ag ef, "Fel hyn y dywedi wrth y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyt: 'Gwnaeth dy dad ein hiau yn drwm; ysgafnha dithau arnom.' Ie, dyma a ddywedi wrthynt: 'Y mae fy mys bach i yn braffach na llwynau fy nhad!

¹¹And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹¹ Mae'n wir i'm tad osod iau drom arnoch, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach. Cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!'"

¹²So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

¹² Pan ddaeth Jeroboam a'r holl bobl at Rehoboam ar y trydydd dydd, yn �l gorchymyn y brenin, "Dewch yn �l ataf ymhen tridiau",

¹³And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

¹³ atebodd y brenin hwy'n chwyrn. Diystyrodd gyngor yr henuriaid, a derbyn cyngor y llanciau.

¹⁴And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹⁴ Dywedodd wrthynt, "Trymhaodd fy nhad eich iau, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach; cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!"

¹⁵Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁵ Felly ni wrandawodd y brenin ar y bobl, oherwydd fel hyn y tynghedwyd gan yr ARGLWYDD, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD gyflawni'r gair a lefarodd drwy Aheia o Seilo wrth Jeroboam fab Nebat.

¹⁶So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

¹⁶ A phan welodd holl Israel nad oedd y brenin am wrando arnynt, daeth ateb oddi wrth y bobl at y brenin: "Pa ran sydd i ni yn Nafydd? Nid oes cyfran inni ym mab Jesse. Adref i'th bebyll, Israel! Edrych at dy du375? dy hun, Ddafydd!" Yna aeth Israel adref.

¹⁷But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

¹⁷ Ond yr oedd rhai Israeliaid yn byw yn nhrefi Jwda, a Rehoboam yn frenin arnynt.

¹⁸Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁸ Pan anfonodd y brenin atynt Adoram, goruchwyliwr y llafur gorfod, llabyddiodd yr Israeliaid ef a'i ladd; ond llwyddodd y Brenin Rehoboam i gyrraedd ei gerbyd a ffoi i Jerwsalem.

¹⁹So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

¹⁹ Ac y mae Israel mewn gwrthryfel yn erbyn llinach Dafydd hyd heddiw.

²⁰And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

²⁰ Wedi i Israel gyfan glywed fod Jeroboam wedi dychwelyd, anfonasant i'w wahodd i'r gymanfa, a'i urddo'n frenin dros Israel gyfan. Nid oedd ond llwyth Jwda'n unig yn glynu wrth linach Dafydd.

²¹And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

²¹ Pan ddychwelodd Rehoboam i Jerwsalem, galwodd ynghyd holl dylwyth Jwda a llwyth Benjamin, cant a phedwar ugain o filoedd o ryfelwyr dethol, i ryfela yn erbyn Israel i adennill y frenhiniaeth i Rehoboam fab Solomon.

²²But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

²² Ond daeth gair Duw at Semaia, gu373?r Duw:

²³Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

²³ "Dywed wrth Rehoboam fab Solomon, brenin Jwda, ac wrth holl bobl Jwda a Benjamin a phawb arall,

²⁴Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

²⁴ 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Peidiwch � mynd i ryfela yn erbyn eich brodyr yr Israeliaid; ewch yn �l adref bob un, gan mai oddi wrthyf fi y daw hyn.'" A gwrandawsant ar air yr ARGLWYDD, a dychwelyd adref yn �l gair yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁵Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

²⁵ Adeiladodd Jeroboam Sichem ym mynydd-dir Effraim i fyw yno, ond wedyn gadawodd y fan ac adeiladu Penuel.

²⁶And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

²⁶ Meddyliodd Jeroboam, "Yn awr, efallai y dychwel y frenhiniaeth at linach Dafydd.

²⁷If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

²⁷ Os �'r bobl hyn i offrymu yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD yn Jerwsalem, yna fe fydd calon y bobl hyn yn troi'n �l at eu meistr, Rehoboam brenin Jwda; fe'm lladdant i a dychwelyd at Rehoboam brenin Jwda."

²⁸Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

²⁸ Felly cymerodd y brenin gyngor a gwneud dau lo aur, a dweud wrth y bobl, "Y mae'n ormod i chwi fynd i fyny i Jerwsalem; dyma dy dduwiau, Israel, y rhai a ddaeth � chwi i fyny o'r Aifft."

²⁹And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

²⁹ Gosodwyd un eilun i fyny ym Methel, a rhoi'r llall yn Dan.

³⁰And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

³⁰ Ond bu hyn yn achos pechu, oherwydd yr oedd y bobl yn mynd i addoli'r naill i Fethel a'r llall i Dan.

³¹And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

³¹ Wedi iddo godi uchelfeydd, urddodd offeiriaid o blith y bobl i gyd, heb iddynt fod yn Lefiaid.

³²And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

³² Sefydlodd Jeroboam u373?yl o bererindod ar y pymthegfed dydd o'r wythfed mis, fel yr u373?yl o bererindod oedd yn Jwda; ac yr oedd yntau yn offrymu ar yr allor. Dyna sut y gwn�i ym Methel, ac aberthu i'r lloi a luniodd; hefyd fe osododd ym Methel offeiriaid yr uchelfeydd a godwyd ganddo.

³³So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

³³ Fe offrymodd ar yr allor a wnaeth ym Methel ar y pymthegfed dydd o'r wythfed mis. Dyfeisiodd ddyddiad iddo'i hun, lluniodd u373?yl o bererindod i'r Israeliaid ac aeth ef ei hun at yr allor i offrymu.
