1The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
1 Llefarodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua a dweud,
2Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
2 "Dywed wrth yr Israeliaid am neilltuo dinasoedd noddfa, fel y gorchmynnais iddynt trwy Moses,
3That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
3 er mwyn i'r sawl sydd wedi lladd rhywun trwy amryfusedd, neu'n anfwriadol, gael ffoi iddynt, a chael noddfa ynddynt rhag y dialydd gwaed.
4And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
4 Pan fydd rhywun yn ffoi i un o'r dinasoedd hyn, y mae i sefyll wrth fynediad porth y ddinas, ac adrodd ei achos yng nghlyw henuriaid y ddinas honno. Os byddant yn caniat�u iddo ddod i mewn atynt i'r ddinas, byddant yn nodi lle ar ei gyfer, a chaiff aros yno gyda hwy.
5And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
5 Os daw'r dialydd gwaed ar ei �l, nid ydynt i ildio'r lleiddiad iddo, oherwydd yn anfwriadol y lladdodd ef ei gymydog, ac nid oedd yn ei gas�u'n flaenorol.
6And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
6 Caiff aros yn y ddinas honno nes iddo sefyll ei brawf gerbron y gynulleidfa. Ar farwolaeth y sawl fydd yn archoffeiriad ar y pryd, caiff y lleiddiad fynd yn �l i'w gartref yn y dref y ffodd ohoni."
7And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
7 Neilltuasant Cedes yn Galilea ym mynydd-dir Nafftali, Sichem ym mynydd�dir Effraim, a Ciriath-arba, sef Hebron, ym mynydd�dir Jwda.
8And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
8 Y tu hwnt i'r Iorddonen, i'r dwyrain o Jericho, nodasant Beser ar y gwastatir yn yr anialwch, o lwyth Reuben; Ramoth yn Gilead o lwyth Gad, a Golan yn Basan o lwyth Manasse.
9These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
9 Nodwyd y dinasoedd hyn ar gyfer yr holl Israeliaid, a'r dieithriaid oedd dros dro yn eu mysg, er mwyn i'r sawl fyddai wedi lladd rhywun mewn amryfusedd ffoi iddynt, rhag iddo farw trwy law dialydd gwaed cyn sefyll ei brawf gerbron y gynulleidfa.
