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

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

²Then said David, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

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

³And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?

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

⁴Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

⁴ Yna cymerodd Hanun weision Dafydd, ac eillio hanner barf pob un ohonynt, a thorri gwisg pob un yn ei hanner hyd at ei gluniau, a'u hanfon ymaith.

⁵When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

⁵ Pan ddywedwyd hyn wrth Ddafydd, anfonodd rai i'w cyfarfod, am fod cywilydd mawr ar y dynion, 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 stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.

⁶ Pan welsant eu bod yn ffiaidd gan Ddafydd, anfonodd yr Ammoniaid a chyflogi ugain mil o wu375?r traed oddi wrth y Syriaid yn Beth-rehob a Soba, a hefyd mil o wu375?r oddi wrth frenin Maacha a deuddeng mil o wu375?r Tob.

⁷And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

⁷ Pan glywodd Dafydd, anfonodd Joab allan gyda'r holl fyddin a'r milwyr.

⁸And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

⁸ Daeth yr Ammoniaid allan a ffurfio rhengoedd ar gyfer y frwydr ger porth y ddinas, gyda Syriaid o Soba a Rehob, a gwu375?r Tob a Maacha ar eu pennau eu hunain mewn tir agored.

⁹When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:

⁹ Gwelodd Joab y byddai'n gorfod ymladd o'r tu blaen ac o'r tu �l; felly dewisodd wu375?r dethol o fyddin Israel, a'u trefnu'n rhengoedd i wynebu'r Syriaid.

¹⁰And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.

¹⁰ Gosododd weddill y fyddin dan awdurdod ei frawd Abisai, a'u trefnu'n rhengoedd i wynebu'r Ammoniaid.

¹¹And 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 come and help thee.

¹¹ A dywedodd, "Os bydd y Syriaid yn drech na mi, tyrd di i'm cynorthwyo; ond os bydd yr Ammoniaid yn drech na thi, dof finnau i'th gynorthwyo di.

¹²Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

¹² 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."

¹³And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.

¹³ Yna nesaodd Joab a'r milwyr oedd gydag ef i ryfel yn erbyn y Syriaid, a ffoesant o'i flaen.

¹⁴And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

¹⁴ Pan welodd yr Ammoniaid fod y Syriaid wedi ffoi, ffoesant hwythau o flaen Abisai, a mynd i'r ddinas. Gadawodd Joab ei gyrch yn erbyn yr Ammoniaid, a dychwelodd i Jerwsalem.

¹⁵And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.

¹⁵ Pan welodd y Syriaid iddynt golli'r dydd o flaen Israel, daethant at ei gilydd eto,

¹⁶And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

¹⁶ ac anfonodd Hadadeser i gyrchu'r Syriaid o Tu-hwnt-i'r-Ewffrates hefyd. Daethant ynghyd i Helam, gyda Sobach, pencapten Hadadeser, yn eu harwain.

¹⁷And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.

¹⁷ Pan ddywedwyd wrth Ddafydd, fe gasglodd ynghyd Israel gyfan, croesodd yr Iorddonen, a dod i Helam. Trefnodd y Syriaid eu rhengoedd yn erbyn Dafydd a rhyfela yn ei erbyn.

¹⁸And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.

¹⁸ Ffodd y Syriaid o flaen Israel, a lladdodd Dafydd ohonynt saith gant o wu375?r cerbyd a deugain mil o farchogion;

¹⁹And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.

¹⁹ a hefyd fe drawodd Sobach, y pencapten, a bu yntau farw yno. Pan welodd yr holl frenhinoedd oedd dan awdurdod Hadadeser iddynt golli'r dydd o flaen Israel, gwnaethant heddwch ag Israel a phlygu i'w hawdurdod. Wedi hyn ofnai'r Syriaid roi rhagor o gymorth i'r Ammoniaid.
