¹Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

¹ Pan nesaodd y dyddiau i Ddafydd farw, gorchmynnodd i'w fab Solomon, a dweud,

²I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;

² "Yr wyf fi ar fynd i ffordd yr holl ddaear; am hynny ymnertha, a bydd yn ddyn.

³And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

³ Cadw ofynion yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw, gan rodio yn ei ffyrdd, ac ufuddhau i'w ddeddfau, ei orchmynion, ei farnedigaethau a'i dystiolaethau, fel yr ysgrifennwyd hwy yng nghyfraith Moses. Yna fe lwyddi ym mhob peth a wnei ym mhle bynnag y byddi'n troi;

⁴That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

⁴ ac fe gyflawna'r ARGLWYDD ei air, a addawodd wrthyf pan ddywedodd, 'Os gwylia dy ddisgynyddion eu ffordd, a rhodio ger fy mron mewn gwirionedd, �'u holl galon ac �'u holl enaid, yna ni thorrir ymaith u373?r o'th dylwyth oddi ar orsedd Israel.'

⁵Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

⁵ "Gwyddost yr hyn a wnaeth Joab fab Serfia � mi, sef yr hyn a wnaeth i ddau gadfridog lluoedd Israel, Abner fab Ner ac Amasa fab Jether; fe'u lladdodd, a thywallt gwaed rhyfel ar adeg heddwch, a thaenu gwaed rhyfel ar y gwregys am ei lwynau a'r esgidiau am ei draed.

⁶Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.

⁶ Am hynny gwna yn �l dy ddoethineb; paid � gadael i'w benwynni ddisgyn i'r bedd mewn heddwch.

⁷But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

⁷ Ond bydd yn garedig wrth feibion Barsilai o Gilead; gad iddynt fod ymysg y rhai a fydd yn bwyta wrth dy fwrdd, oherwydd daethant ataf pan oeddwn yn ffoi rhag dy frawd Absalom.

⁸And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

⁸ Y mae hefyd gyda thi Simei fab Gera, y Benjaminiad o Bahurim; fe'm melltithiodd yn filain y dydd yr euthum i Mahanaim, ond daeth i'm cyfarfod at yr Iorddonen, a thyngais wrtho yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, 'Ni 'th laddaf �'r cleddyf.'

⁹Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.

⁹ Ond yn awr, paid �'i adael yn ddi-gosb; yr wyt yn u373?r doeth, a gwyddost beth i'w wneud iddo; p�r i'w benwynni ddisgyn mewn gwaed i'r bedd."

¹⁰So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

¹⁰ Bu farw Dafydd, a chladdwyd ef yn Ninas Dafydd.

¹¹And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

¹¹ Deugain mlynedd oedd y cyfnod y teyrnasodd Dafydd ar Israel; teyrnasodd yn Hebron am saith mlynedd, ac yn Jerwsalem am dri deg a thair o flynyddoedd.

¹²Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

¹² Yna eisteddodd Solomon ar orsedd ei dad Dafydd, a sicrhawyd ei frenhiniaeth yn gadarn.

¹³And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

¹³ Daeth Adoneia fab Haggith at Bathseba mam Solomon, a dywedodd hi, "Ai mewn heddwch yr wyt yn dod?" Atebodd yntau, "Mewn heddwch.

¹⁴He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

¹⁴ Hoffwn air � thi." Atebodd hithau, "Llefara."

¹⁵And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.

¹⁵ Yna dywedodd ef, "Fe wyddost mai eiddof fi oedd y frenhiniaeth, ac i holl Israel roi eu bryd ar fy ngwneud yn frenin; ond daeth tro ar fyd, ac aeth y frenhiniaeth i'm brawd; trwy'r ARGLWYDD y cafodd hi.

¹⁶And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

¹⁶ Yn awr y mae gennyf un cais i'w ofyn gennyt; paid �'m gwrthod." Dywedodd hithau, "Gofyn."

¹⁷And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

¹⁷ Ac meddai ef, "Gwna gais drosof at y Brenin Solomon am iddo roi Abisag y Sunamees yn wraig imi, oherwydd ni fydd yn dy wrthod di."

¹⁸And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

¹⁸ A dywedodd Bathseba, "o'r gorau, mi ofynnaf drosot i'r brenin."

¹⁹Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

¹⁹ Felly aeth Bathseba at y Brenin Solomon i ofyn iddo dros Adoneia. Cododd y brenin i'w chyfarch ac ymgrymodd iddi; yna eisteddodd ar ei orsedd, a gosodwyd gorsedd i fam y brenin eistedd ar ei law dde.

²⁰Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

²⁰ Dywedodd hi, "Yr wyf am ofyn un cais bach gennyt; paid �'m gwrthod." Atebodd y brenin hi, "Gofyn, fy mam, oherwydd ni'th wrthodaf di."

²¹And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

²¹ Dywedodd hi, "Rhodder Abisag y Sunamees i'th frawd Adoneia yn wraig."

²²And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

²² Ond atebodd y Brenin Solomon ei fam, "A pham yr wyt ti'n gofyn am Abisag y Sunamees i Adoneia? Gofyn hefyd am y deyrnas iddo, oherwydd y mae'n frawd hu375?n na mi; gofyn am y deyrnas iddo ef, a hefyd i Abiathar yr archoffeiriad, ac i Joab fab Serfia."

²³Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

²³ A thyngodd y Brenin Solomon i'r ARGLWYDD, "Fel hyn y gwnelo Duw i mi, a rhagor, os nad ar draul ei einioes ei hun y llefarodd Adoneia fel hyn.

²⁴Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

²⁴ Yn awr, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, a'm sicrhaodd ac a'm gosododd ar orsedd Dafydd fy nhad, ac a roes imi dylwyth yn �l ei air, yn ddiau heddiw fe roir Adoneia i farwolaeth."

²⁵And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

²⁵ Yna gwysiodd y Brenin Solomon Benaia fab Jehoiada; ymosododd yntau ar Adoneia, a bu farw.

²⁶And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

²⁶ Ac wrth Abiathar yr archoffeiriad dywedodd y brenin, "Dos i Anathoth, i'th fro dy hun, oherwydd gu373?r yn haeddu marw wyt ti, ond ni laddaf mohonot y tro hwn, am iti gludo arch yr Arglwydd DDUW o flaen fy nhad Dafydd, ac am iti ddioddef gyda'm tad yn ei holl gystuddiau."

²⁷So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

²⁷ Yna diswyddodd Solomon Abiathar o fod yn archoffeiriad i'r ARGLWYDD, er mwyn cyflawni gair yr ARGLWYDD a lefarodd yn erbyn tylwyth Eli yn Seilo.

²⁸Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

²⁸ Pan ddaeth y newydd at Joab, a fu'n cefnogi Adoneia � er na chefnogodd Absalom � fe ffodd i babell yr ARGLWYDD a chydiodd yng nghyrn yr allor.

²⁹And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

²⁹ Dywedwyd wrth y Brenin Solomon fod Joab wedi ffoi i babell yr ARGLWYDD a'i fod wrth yr allor. Yna anfonwyd Benaia fab Jehoiada gan Solomon �'r gorchymyn, "Dos ac ymosod arno."

³⁰And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

³⁰ Wedi i Benaia ddod i babell yr ARGLWYDD, dywedodd wrtho, "Fel hyn y dywedodd y brenin, 'Tyrd allan'." Atebodd yntau, "Na, yma y byddaf farw."

³¹And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

³¹ Pan ddygodd Benaia adroddiad yn �l at y brenin, a mynegi beth oedd ateb Joab, dywedodd y brenin wrtho, "Gwna fel y dywedodd; lladd ef, a'i gladdu, a symud oddi wrthyf ac oddi wrth fy nhylwyth euogrwydd y gwaed a dywalltodd Joab yn ddiachos.

³²And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

³² Fe ddial yr ARGLWYDD y gwaed arno ef am iddo ymosod, heb i'm tad Dafydd wybod, ar ddau u373?r cyfiawnach a gwell nag ef ei hun, a'u lladd �'r cleddyf, sef Abner fab Ner, tywysog llu Israel, ac Amasa fab Jether, tywysog llu Jwda.

³³Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

³³ Erys eu gwaed hwy ar ben Joab a'i ddisgynyddion yn dragywydd; ond i Ddafydd a'i ddisgynyddion a'i deulu a'i orsedd fe fydd llwydd oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD yn dragywydd."

³⁴So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

³⁴ Aeth Benaia fab Jehoiada i fyny, ac ymosod ar Joab a'i ladd; a chladdwyd ef yn ei gartref yn yr anialwch.

³⁵And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

³⁵ Gosododd y brenin Benaia fab Jehoiada yn bennaeth y fyddin yn lle Joab, a Sadoc yr offeiriad yn lle Abiathar.

³⁶And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

³⁶ Yna gwysiodd y brenin Simei a dweud wrtho, "Adeilada du375? yn Jerwsalem a thrig yno. Paid � symud oddi yno i unman,

³⁷For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

³⁷ oherwydd, cymer rybudd, yn y dydd y byddi'n croesi nant Cidron byddi farw'n gelain; bydd dy waed arnat ti dy hun."

³⁸And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

³⁸ Dywedodd Simei wrth y brenin, "Purion! Fel y mae f'arglwydd frenin yn gorchymyn y gwna dy was."

³⁹And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.

³⁹ Trigodd Simei am gyfnod yn Jerwsalem; ond ymhen tair blynedd, ffodd dau o gaethweision Simei at Achis fab Maacha, brenin Gath.

⁴⁰And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

⁴⁰ Hysbyswyd Simei fod ei weision yn Gath, a chyfrwyodd ei asyn a mynd i Gath at Achis i geisio'i weision; ac aeth a dod �'i weision yn �l o Gath.

⁴¹And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

⁴¹ Pan hysbyswyd Solomon i Simei fynd o Jerwsalem i Gath a dychwelyd,

⁴²And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

⁴² gwysiodd y brenin Simei a dweud wrtho, "Oni thynghedais di yn enw'r ARGLWYDD? Oni rybuddiais di y byddit farw'n gelain y dydd yr ait allan i unrhyw fan? A dywedaist wrthyf, 'Purion! Fe ufuddhaf.'

⁴³Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

⁴³ Pam na chedwaist lw yr ARGLWYDD a'r gorchymyn a roddais i ti?"

⁴⁴The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

⁴⁴ Yna dywedodd y brenin wrth Simei, "Fe wyddost yn dy galon yr holl ddrygioni a wnaethost i'm tad Dafydd.

⁴⁵And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.

⁴⁵ Fe ddial yr ARGLWYDD dy ddrygioni arnat, ond bendithir y Brenin Solomon, a sicrheir gorsedd Dafydd gerbron yr ARGLWYDD yn dragywydd."

⁴⁶So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

⁴⁶ Yna rhoes y brenin orchymyn i Benaia fab Jehoiada; aeth yntau allan ac ymosod ar Simei, a bu ef farw. A sicrhawyd y frenhiniaeth yn llaw Solomon.
