¹And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.

¹ Ar �l Abimelech, yr un a gododd i waredu Israel oedd Tola fab Pua, fab Dodo, dyn o Issachar a oedd yn byw yn Samir ym mynydd-dir Effraim.

²And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

² Bu'n farnwr ar Israel am dair blynedd ar hugain; a phan fu farw, claddwyd ef yn Samir.

³And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.

³ Ar ei �l cododd Jair, brodor o Gilead. Bu'n farnwr ar Israel am ddwy flynedd ar hugain.

⁴And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

⁴ Yr oedd ganddo ddeg ar hugain o feibion a arferai farchogaeth ar ddeg ar hugain o asynnod; ac yr oedd ganddynt ddeg dinas ar hugain yn nhir Gilead; gelwir y rhain yn Hafoth-jair hyd heddiw.

⁵And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

⁵ Pan fu farw Jair, claddwyd ef yn Camon.

⁶And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.

⁶ Unwaith eto gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, ac addoli'r Baalim a'r Astaroth, a duwiau Syria, Sidon, Moab, yr Ammoniaid a'r Philistiaid; gwrthodasant yr ARGLWYDD a pheidio �'i wasanaethu.

⁷And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.

⁷ Enynnodd llid yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn Israel, a gwerthodd hwy i law'r Philistiaid a'r Ammoniaid.

⁸And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

⁸ Ysigodd y rheini'r Israeliaid a'u gormesu y flwyddyn honno; ac am ddeunaw mlynedd buont yn gormesu'r holl Israeliaid y tu hwnt i'r Iorddonen, yn Gilead yng ngwlad yr Amoriaid.

⁹Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.

⁹ Wedyn croesodd yr Ammoniaid dros yr Iorddonen i ryfela yn erbyn Jwda a Benjamin a thylwyth Effraim, a bu'n gyfyng iawn ar Israel.

¹⁰And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.

¹⁰ Yna galwodd yr Israeliaid ar yr ARGLWYDD, a dweud, "Yr ydym wedi pechu yn d'erbyn; yr ydym wedi gadael ein Duw ac addoli'r Baalim."

¹¹And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?

¹¹ Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth yr Israeliaid, "Pan ormeswyd chwi gan yr Eifftiaid, Amoriaid, Ammoniaid, Philistiaid,

¹²The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.

¹² Sidoniaid, Amaleciaid, a Midianiaid, galwasoch arnaf fi, a gwaredais chwi o'u gafael.

¹³Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

¹³ Ond yr ydych wedi fy ngadael i a gwasanaethu duwiau eraill, ac am hynny nid wyf am eich gwaredu rhagor.

¹⁴Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

¹⁴ Ewch a galwch ar y duwiau yr ydych wedi eu dewis; bydded iddynt hwy eich gwaredu chwi yn awr eich cyfyngdra."

¹⁵And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.

¹⁵ Yna dywedodd yr Israeliaid wrth yr ARGLWYDD, "Yr ydym wedi pechu; gwna inni beth bynnag a weli'n dda, ond eto gwared ni y tro hwn."

¹⁶And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

¹⁶ Bwriasant y duwiau dieithr allan o'u plith, a gwasanaethu'r ARGLWYDD, ac ni allai yntau oddef adfyd Israel yn hwy.

¹⁷Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.

¹⁷ Pan alwodd yr Ammoniaid eu milwyr ynghyd a gwersyllu yn Gilead, ymgasglodd yr Israeliaid hefyd a gwersyllu yn Mispa.

¹⁸And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

¹⁸ Dywedodd swyddogion byddin Gilead wrth ei gilydd, "Pwy bynnag fydd yn dechrau'r ymladd �'r Ammoniaid, ef fydd yn ben ar holl drigolion Gilead."
