¹Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:

¹ Yna dywedodd Ahitoffel wrth Absalom, "Gad imi ddewis deuddeng mil o ddynion a mynd ar �l Dafydd heno.

²And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:

² Dof ar ei warthaf pan fydd yn lluddedig a diymadferth, a chodaf arswyd arno, nes bod pawb sydd gydag ef yn ffoi; ni laddaf neb ond y brenin,

³And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.

³ a dof �'r holl bobl yn �l atat fel priodferch yn dod adref at ei phriod. Bywyd un yn unig sydd arnat ei eisiau; caiff gweddill y bobl lonydd."

⁴And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.

⁴ Yr oedd Absalom a holl henuriaid Israel yn gweld hwn yn gyngor da,

⁵Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.

⁵ ond dywedodd Absalom, "Galwch Husai yr Arciad hefyd er mwyn inni glywed beth sydd ganddo yntau i'w ddweud."

⁶And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.

⁶ Wedi i Husai gyrraedd, dywedodd Absalom wrtho, "Dyma sut y cynghorodd Ahitoffel. A ddylem dderbyn ei gyngor? Onid e, rho di dy gyngor."

⁷And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.

⁷ Dywedodd Husai wrth Absalom, "Nid yw'r cyngor a roddodd Ahitoffel y tro hwn yn un da."

⁸For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

⁸ Aeth Husai ymlaen, "Yr wyt ti'n adnabod dy dad a'i ddynion: y maent yn filwyr profiadol, ac mor filain ag arth wyllt wedi ei hamddifadu o'i chenawon; hefyd, y mae dy dad yn gynefin � rhyfela, ni fydd ef yn treulio'r nos gyda'r fyddin, ac y mae eisoes wedi ymguddio mewn ogof neu ryw lecyn arall.

⁹Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.

⁹ Pan leddir rhywrai o blith dy filwyr ar y dechrau, bydd pwy bynnag a fydd yn clywed y newydd yn meddwl bod cyflafan wedi digwydd ymysg y rhai sy'n dilyn Absalom.

¹⁰And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.

¹⁰ Yna fe fydd ysbryd y cryfaf, yr un � chalon fel llew, yn darfod yn llwyr, oherwydd y mae Israel gyfan yn gwybod mai milwr dewr yw dy dad, a bod dynion grymus gydag ef.

¹¹Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.

¹¹ Yr wyf fi am dy gynghori i gasglu atat Israel gyfan o Dan i Beerseba, mor niferus � thywod glan y m�r, a bod i tithau'n bersonol fynd gyda hwy i'r frwydr.

¹²So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.

¹² Ac fe ddown ar ei warthaf, ym mha le bynnag y ceir ef; disgynnwn arno fel gwlith yn syrthio ar y ddaear, ac ni adewir dim un ohonynt, ef na'r dynion sydd gydag ef.

¹³Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.

¹³ Ac os digwydd iddo ddianc i ryw ddinas, bydd Israel gyfan yn taflu rhaffau am y ddinas honno a byddwn yn ei llusgo i'r ceunant, heb adael y garreg leiaf ohoni ar �l."

¹⁴And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.

¹⁴ Dywedodd Absalom a'r holl Israeliaid, "Y mae cyngor Husai yr Arciad yn well na chyngor Ahitoffel." Yr ARGLWYDD oedd wedi peri drysu cyngor da Ahitoffel, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD ddwyn dinistr ar Absalom.

¹⁵Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counseled.

¹⁵ Dywedodd Husai wrth yr offeiriaid Sadoc ac Abiathar, "Fel hyn ac fel hyn yr oedd cyngor Ahitoffel i Absalom a henuriaid Israel; ac fel hyn ac fel hyn y cynghorais innau.

¹⁶Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

¹⁶ Anfonwch yn awr ar frys a dywedwch wrth Ddafydd, 'Paid ag aros y nos wrth rydau'r anialwch, ond dos drosodd ar unwaith, rhag i'r brenin a'r holl bobl sydd gydag ef gael eu difa.'"

¹⁷Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.

¹⁷ Yr oedd Jonathan ac Ahimaas yn aros yn En-rogel, a morwyn yn mynd �'r neges iddynt hwy, a hwythau wedyn yn mynd �'r neges i'r Brenin Dafydd; oherwydd ni feiddient gael eu gweld yn mynd i'r ddinas.

¹⁸Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.

¹⁸ Ond fe welodd bachgen hwy, a dweud wrth Absalom; felly aeth y ddau ar frys nes dod i du375? rhyw ddyn yn Bahurim. Yr oedd gan hwnnw bydew yn ei fuarth ac aethant i lawr iddo.

¹⁹And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.

¹⁹ Yna cymerodd ei wraig y caead a'i osod ar geg y pydew a thaenu grawn drosto, fel nad oedd neb yn gwybod.

²⁰And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

²⁰ Pan ddaeth gweision Absalom at y tu375? a gofyn i'r wraig, "Ple mae Ahimaas a Jonathan?" dywedodd hithau, "Y maent wedi mynd dros y ffrwd ddu373?r." Ond er iddynt chwilio, ni chawsant mohonynt, ac aethant yn �l i Jerwsalem.

²¹And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counseled against you.

²¹ Wedi iddynt fynd, daethant hwythau i fyny o'r pydew a mynd �'r neges i'r Brenin Dafydd, a dweud wrtho am groesi'r du373?r ar unwaith, oherwydd bod Ahitoffel wedi cynghori fel y gwnaeth yn eu herbyn.

²²Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.

²² Dechreuodd Dafydd, a'r holl bobl oedd gydag ef, groesi'r Iorddonen, ac erbyn toriad gwawr nid oedd neb ar �l heb groesi'r Iorddonen.

²³And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

²³ Pan welodd Ahitoffel na chymerwyd ei gyngor ef, cyfrwyodd ei asyn a mynd adref i'w dref ei hun. Gosododd drefn ar ei du375?, ac yna fe'i crogodd ei hun. Wedi iddo farw, fe'i claddwyd ym medd ei dad.

²⁴Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

²⁴ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi cyrraedd Mahanaim erbyn i Absalom a holl filwyr Israel gydag ef groesi'r Iorddonen.

²⁵And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.

²⁵ Yr oedd Absalom wedi gosod Amasa dros y fyddin yn lle Joab. Yr oedd ef yn fab i ddyn o'r enw Ithra'r Ismaeliad, a oedd wedi priodi Abigal ferch Nahas, chwaer Serfia mam Joab.

²⁶So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.

²⁶ Gwersyllodd Israel gydag Absalom yn nhir Gilead.

²⁷And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

²⁷ Wedi i Ddafydd gyrraedd Mahanaim, daeth Sobi fab Nahas o Rabba'r Ammoniaid, a Machir fab Ammiel o Lo-debar, a Barsilai y Gileadiad o Rogelim

²⁸Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and parched pulse,

²⁸ � gwelyau, powlenni a llestri; hefyd gwenith, haidd, blawd, crasyd, ffa, ffacbys,

²⁹And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.

²⁹ m�l, ceulion o laeth defaid a chaws o laeth gwartheg. Rhoesant hwy i Ddafydd a'r bobl oedd gydag ef i'w bwyta, oherwydd meddent, "Bydd y bobl yn newynog a lluddedig, ac yn sychedig yn yr anialwch."
