¹And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.

¹ Wedi hyn ymofynnodd Dafydd �'r ARGLWYDD a gofyn, "A af i fyny i un o drefi Jwda?" Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Dos." Gofynnodd Dafydd, "I ba un?" Atebodd yr ARGLWYDD, "I Hebron."

²So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.

² Felly fe aeth Dafydd i fyny yno, a'i ddwy wraig, Ahinoam o Jesreel ac Abigail, gwraig Nabal, o Garmel;

³And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.

³ hefyd fe aeth Dafydd �'r gwu375?r oedd ganddo, bob un �'i deulu, a thrigo yn nhref Hebron.

⁴And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.

⁴ Yna daeth gwu375?r Jwda, ac eneinio Dafydd yno yn frenin ar du375? Jwda. Dywedwyd wrth Ddafydd mai gwu375?r Jabes-gilead oedd wedi claddu Saul,

⁵And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.

⁵ ac anfonodd Dafydd negeswyr atynt a dweud wrthynt, "Bendith yr ARGLWYDD arnoch am ichwi wneud y gymwynas hon �'ch arglwydd Saul, a'i gladdu.

⁶And now the LORD show kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.

⁶ Ac yn awr bydded i'r ARGLWYDD ddangos caredigrwydd a ffyddlondeb atoch chwithau; a gwnaf finnau ddaioni i chwi, am ichwi wneud y peth hwn.

⁷Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.

⁷ Byddwch gryf a dewr yn awr; y mae eich arglwydd Saul wedi marw, ond y mae tu375? Jwda wedi f'eneinio i yn frenin arnynt."

⁸But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;

⁸ Yr oedd Abner fab Ner, cadfridog Saul, wedi cymryd Isboseth fab Saul ac wedi mynd ag ef drosodd i Mahanaim.

⁹And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

⁹ Gwnaeth ef yn frenin dros Gilead, pobl Aser, Jesreel, Effraim a Benjamin, a thros Israel gyfan.

¹⁰Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.

¹⁰ Deugain oed oedd Isboseth fab Saul pan ddaeth yn frenin ar Israel, a theyrnasodd am ddwy flynedd; ond yr oedd tu375? Jwda yn dilyn Dafydd.

¹¹And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

¹¹ Saith mlynedd a chwe mis oedd hyd y cyfnod y bu Dafydd yn frenin ar du375? Jwda yn Hebron.

¹²And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

¹² Aeth Abner fab Ner gyda dilynwyr Isboseth allan o Mahanaim tua Gibeon.

¹³And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.

¹³ Aeth Joab fab Serfia a dilynwyr Dafydd allan hefyd; a chyfarfu'r ddau wrth bwll Gibeon, gyda'r naill fintai ar un ochr i'r pwll, a'r llall yr ochr arall.

¹⁴And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.

¹⁴ Ac meddai Abner wrth Joab, "Gad i'r llanciau ddod a chynnal gornest o'n blaenau." Cytunodd Joab.

¹⁵Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.

¹⁵ Yna daethant ymlaen, a chyfrifwyd deuddeg o lwyth Benjamin ar ochr Isboseth fab Saul, a deuddeg o blith dilynwyr Dafydd.

¹⁶And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.

¹⁶ Cydiodd pob un ym mhen ei wrthwynebydd a thrywanu ei gleddyf i'w ystlys, a syrthiodd y cwbl gyda'i gilydd; am hynny galwyd y lle hwnnw sydd yn Gibeon yn Helcath-hasurim.

¹⁷And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.

¹⁷ Bu brwydr galed iawn y diwrnod hwnnw, a threchwyd Abner fab Ner a'r Israeliaid gan ddilynwyr Dafydd.

¹⁸And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.

¹⁸ Yr oedd tri mab Serfia yno, Joab, Abisai ac Asahel; ac yr oedd Asahel cyn gyflymed ei draed ag unrhyw ewig ar y dd�l.

¹⁹And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.

¹⁹ Rhedodd Asahel ar �l Abner heb wyro i'r dde na'r chwith oddi ar ei �l.

²⁰Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.

²⁰ Edrychodd Abner o'i �l a dywedodd, "Ai ti sydd yna, Asahel?" Atebodd yntau, "Ie."

²¹And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.

²¹ Dywedodd Abner wrtho, "Tro draw i'r dde neu i'r chwith, a dal un o'r llanciau, a chymer ei arfau ef." Ond ni fynnai Asahel droi oddi ar ei �l.

²²And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?

²² Dywedodd Abner eto wrth Asahel, "Tro draw oddi wrthyf; pam y mae'n rhaid imi dy daro i'r llawr? Sut y gallwn wynebu dy frawd Joab?"

²³Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.

²³ Ond gwrthododd droi draw, a thrawodd Abner ef yn ei fol � b�n ei waywffon, nes iddi ddod allan trwy ei gefn. Syrthiodd i lawr, ac yno y bu farw. Ac wrth ddod heibio'r fan y bu i Asahel syrthio a marw, safai pawb yn ei unfan.

²⁴Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.

²⁴ Ond daliodd Joab ac Abisai i ymlid ar �l Abner, ac fel yr oedd yr haul yn machlud, daethant at fryn Amma sydd gyferbyn � Gia, i gyfeiriad anialwch Gibeon.

²⁵And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.

²⁵ Ymgasglodd y Benjaminiaid at Abner, ac ymffurfio'n un fintai a sefyll ar gopa bryn Amma.

²⁶Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?

²⁶ Yna gwaeddodd Abner ar Joab a dweud, "A yw'r cleddyf i ddifa am byth? Oni wyddost mai chwerw fydd diwedd hyn? Am ba hyd y gwrthodi ddweud wrth y milwyr am beidio ag erlid eu perthnasau?"

²⁷And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.

²⁷ Atebodd Joab, "Cyn wired � bod Duw yn fyw, oni bai dy fod wedi siarad, ni fyddai'r milwyr wedi peidio ag ymlid eu perthnasau tan y bore."

²⁸So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.

²⁸ Yna seiniodd Joab yr utgorn, a pheidiodd yr holl bobl ag ymlid yr Israeliaid, na brwydro rhagor.

²⁹And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.

²⁹ Aeth Abner a'i ddynion ar draws yr Araba drwy'r nos, a chroesi'r Iorddonen, a dal ymlaen drwy gydol y bore nes dod i Mahanaim.

³⁰And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.

³⁰ A phan ddaeth Joab yn ei �l o ddilyn Abner, fe gasglodd y bobl ynghyd, ac yr oedd pedwar ar bymtheg o ddilynwyr Dafydd yn eisiau, yn ogystal ag Asahel.

³¹But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.

³¹ Yr oedd dilynwyr Dafydd wedi lladd o blith Benjamin dri chant a thrigain o filwyr Abner. Cymerwyd Asahel a'i gladdu ym medd ei dad ym Methlehem.

³²And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.

³² Yna cerddodd Joab a'i ddynion drwy'r nos, a chyrraedd Hebron fel yr oedd yn dyddio.
