1And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
1 Yr oedd yn digwydd bod yno ddihiryn o'r enw Seba fab Bichri, o lwyth Benjamin. Canodd ef yr utgorn a chyhoeddi, "Nid oes i ni gyfran yn Nafydd, nac etifeddiaeth ym mab Jesse. Pob un i'w babell, O Israel!"
2So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
2 Yna ciliodd yr Israeliaid oddi wrth Ddafydd, a dilyn Seba fab Bichri; ond glynodd y Jwdeaid wrth eu brenin bob cam, o'r Iorddonen i Jerwsalem.
3And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
3 Wedi i'r Brenin Dafydd gyrraedd Jerwsalem, cymerodd y deg gor-dderchwraig a adawyd i ofalu am y tu375?, a'u rhoi dan warchod; yr oedd yn rhoi eu cynhaliaeth iddynt, ond heb fynd i mewn atynt. A buont dan glo hyd ddydd eu marwolaeth, yn byw fel gweddwon.
4Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
4 Yna dywedodd y brenin wrth Amasa, "Galw ynghyd ataf filwyr Jwda, a bydd yn �l yma o fewn tridiau."
5So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
5 Aeth Amasa i alw Jwda ynghyd, ond oedodd yn hwy na'r amser penodedig.
6And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
6 Ac meddai Dafydd wrth Abisai, "Yn awr bydd Seba fab Bichri yn creu mwy o helynt inni nag Absalom; cymer fy ngweision ac erlid ar ei �l, rhag iddo gyrraedd dinasoedd caerog a diflannu o'n golwg."
7And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
7 Dilynwyd Abisai gan Joab a'r Cerethiaid a'r Pelethiaid a'r holl filwyr profiadol, a gadawsant Jerwsalem i erlid ar �l Seba fab Bichri. Pan oeddent wrth y maen mawr yn Gibeon, daeth Amasa i'w cyfarfod.
8When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
8 Yr oedd Joab wedi gwregysu'r fantell yr oedd yn ei gwisgo, a throsti yr oedd gwregys ei gleddyf a oedd mewn gwain wedi ei rhwymo ar ei lwynau; ac wrth iddo symud ymlaen, fe syrthiodd y cleddyf.
9And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
9 Wedi i Joab ddweud wrth Amasa, "Sut yr wyt ti, fy mrawd?" gafaelodd �'i law dde ym marf Amasa i'w gusanu.
10But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
10 Nid oedd Amasa wedi sylwi ar y cleddyf oedd yn llaw Joab, a thrawodd Joab ef yn ei fol nes i'w ymysgaroedd ddisgyn i'r llawr, a bu farw heb ail ergyd. Yna aeth Joab a'i frawd Abisai yn eu blaen ar �l Seba fab Bichri.
11And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
11 Safodd un o lanciau Joab wrth y corff a dweud, "Pwy bynnag sy'n fodlon ar Joab, a phwy bynnag sydd o blaid Dafydd, canlynwch Joab."
12And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
12 Yr oedd Amasa'n gorwedd yn bentwr gwaedlyd ar ganol yr heol, a phan welodd y dyn fod y bobl i gyd yn sefyll, symudodd Amasa o'r heol i'r cae a bwrw dilledyn drosto.
13When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
13 Yr oedd pawb a dd�i heibio wedi bod yn sefyll wrth ei weld; ond wedi iddo gael ei symud o'r heol, yr oedd pawb yn dilyn Joab i erlid ar �l Seba fab Bichri.
14And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
14 Aeth Seba trwy holl lwythau Israel nes cyrraedd Abel-beth-maacha, ac ymgasglodd yr holl Bichriaid a'i ddilyn.
15And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
15 Pan gyrhaeddodd holl fyddin Joab, rhoesant warchae arno yn Abel-beth-maacha a chodi gwarchglawdd yn erbyn y ddinas, a thurio i ddymchwel y mur.
16Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
16 Yna safodd gwraig ddoeth ar yr amddiffynfa a gweiddi o'r ddinas, "Gwrandewch, gwrandewch, a dywedwch wrth Joab am iddo ddod yma i mi gael siarad ag ef."
17And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
17 Daeth yntau ati, a gofynnodd y wraig, "Ai ti yw Joab?" "Ie," meddai yntau. Yna dywedodd hi wrtho, "Gwrando ar eiriau dy lawforwyn," ac atebodd yntau, "Rwy'n gwrando."
18Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
18 Ac meddai hi, "Byddent yn arfer dweud ers talwm, 'Dim ond iddynt geisio cyngor yn Abel, a dyna ben ar y peth.'
19I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
19 Un o rai heddychol a ffyddlon Israel wyf fi, ond yr wyt ti'n ceisio distrywio dinas sy'n fam yn Israel. Pam yr wyt am ddifetha etifeddiaeth yr ARGLWYDD?"
20And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
20 Atebodd Joab a dweud, "Pell y bo, pell y bo oddi wrthyf! Nid wyf am ddifetha na distrywio.
21The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
21 Nid felly y mae; ond dyn o fynydd-dir Effraim, o'r enw Seba fab Bichri, sydd wedi codi yn erbyn y Brenin Dafydd; dim ond i chwi ei roi ef imi, fe adawaf y ddinas." Dywedodd y wraig wrth Joab, "Fe deflir ei ben iti dros y mur."
22Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
22 Yna fe aeth y wraig yn ei doethineb at yr holl bobl; torrwyd pen Seba fab Bichri a'i daflu i Joab. Seiniodd yntau'r utgorn, gadawyd y ddinas, a gwasgarodd pawb i'w cartrefi. Dychwelodd Joab i Jerwsalem at y brenin.
23Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
23 Joab oedd dros holl fyddin Israel, a Benaia fab Jehoiada dros y Cerethiaid a'r Pelethiaid.
24And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
24 Adoram oedd dros y llafur gorfod, a Jehosaffat fab Ahilud oedd y cofiadur.
25And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
25 Sefa oedd yr ysgrifennydd, a Sadoc ac Abiathar yn offeiriaid.
26And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
26 Yr oedd Ira y Jairiad hefyd yn offeiriad i Ddafydd.
