¹Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.

¹ Yr oedd Jefftha, brodor o Gilead, yn u373?r dewr; yr oedd yn fab i butain, a Gilead oedd ei dad.

²And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.

² Yr oedd gan wraig Gilead hefyd feibion, ac wedi iddynt dyfu, gyrasant Jefftha allan a dweud wrtho, "Ni chei di etifeddiaeth yn nhu375? ein tad, oherwydd mab i wraig estron wyt ti."

³Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.

³ Ciliodd Jefftha oddi wrth ei frodyr, a mynd i fyw i wlad Tob, lle casglodd ato nifer o wu375?r ofer a oedd yn ei ddilyn.

⁴And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.

⁴ Ymhen amser aeth yr Ammoniaid i ryfela yn erbyn yr Israeliaid.

⁵And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:

⁵ A phan ddechreuodd y brwydro rhwng yr Ammoniaid ac Israel, aeth henuriaid Gilead i gyrchu Jefftha o wlad Tob,

⁶And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

⁶ a dweud wrtho, "Tyrd, bydd di'n arweinydd inni, er mwyn inni ymladd �'r Ammoniaid."

⁷And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?

⁷ Ond dywedodd Jefftha wrth henuriaid Gilead, "Onid chwi oedd yn fy nghas�u ac yn fy ngyrru o du375? fy nhad? Pam y dewch ataf fi yn awr pan yw'n gyfyng arnoch?"

⁸And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

⁸ Ac meddent hwythau wrtho, "Dyna pam y daethom atat yn awr. Tyrd yn �l gyda ni ac ymladd �'r Ammoniaid, a chei fod yn ben ar holl drigolion Gilead."

⁹And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?

⁹ Dywedodd Jefftha wrth henuriaid Gilead, "Os byddwch yn fy nghymryd yn �l i ymladd �'r Ammoniaid, a'r ARGLWYDD yn eu rhoi yn fy llaw, yna byddaf yn ben arnoch."

¹⁰And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.

¹⁰ Dywedodd henuriaid Gilead wrth Jefftha, "Bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn dyst rhyngom y gwnawn yn �l dy air."

¹¹Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.

¹¹ Aeth Jefftha gyda henuriaid Gilead, a gwnaeth y fyddin ef yn ben ac yn arweinydd arnynt, ac adroddodd Jefftha gerbron yr ARGLWYDD yn Mispa bopeth yr oedd wedi ei gytuno.

¹²And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?

¹² Anfonodd Jefftha negeswyr at frenin yr Ammoniaid a dweud, "Beth sydd gennyt yn f'erbyn, dy fod wedi dod i ymosod ar fy ngwlad?"

¹³And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.

¹³ Dywedodd brenin yr Ammoniaid wrth negeswyr Jefftha, "Pan ddaeth Israel i fyny o'r Aifft, meddiannodd fy ngwlad rhwng nentydd Arnon a Jabboc, hyd at yr Iorddonen; felly dyro hi'n �l yn awr yn heddychol."

¹⁴And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:

¹⁴ Anfonodd Jefftha negeswyr eto at frenin yr Ammoniaid

¹⁵And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:

¹⁵ i ddweud wrtho, "Dyma a ddywed Jefftha: 'Ni chymerodd Israel dir Moab na thir yr Ammoniaid;

¹⁶But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;

¹⁶ oherwydd pan ddaethant i fyny o'r Aifft, fe aeth Israel trwy'r anialwch hyd at y M�r Coch nes dod i Cades.

¹⁷Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.

¹⁷ Yna fe anfonodd Israel negeswyr at frenin Edom a dweud, "Gad imi fynd trwy dy dir di"; ond ni wrandawai brenin Edom. Wedyn anfonwyd at frenin Moab, ac nid oedd ef yn fodlon; felly arhosodd Israel yn Cades.

¹⁸Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.

¹⁸ Yna aethant drwy'r anialwch i fynd heibio i dir Edom a thir Moab o'r tu dwyrain i wlad Moab, a gwersyllu y tu hwnt i nant Arnon, heb groesi terfyn Moab, oherwydd nant Arnon yw terfyn Moab.

¹⁹And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.

¹⁹ Anfonodd Israel negeswyr hefyd at frenin yr Amoriaid, Sihon brenin Hesbon, a dweud wrtho, "Gad imi groesi dy dir i'm lle fy hun."

²⁰But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

²⁰ Eto nid ymddiriedai Sihon yn Israel, iddi groesi ei ffin, ond casglodd ei holl fyddin a gwersyllu yn Jahas ac ymladd yn erbyn Israel.

²¹And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

²¹ Rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, Sihon a'i holl fyddin yn llaw Israel, ac fe'u lladdwyd; a meddiannodd Israel holl dir yr Amoriaid oedd yn byw yn yr ardal honno.

²²And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.

²² Daethant i feddiannu holl derfynau'r Amoriaid o nant Arnon hyd nant Jabboc, ac o'r anialwch hyd yr Iorddonen.

²³So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?

²³ Yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, a yrrodd yr Amoriaid allan o flaen ei bobl Israel. A wyt ti'n awr am ei feddiannu?

²⁴Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.

²⁴ Onid yr hyn y bydd dy dduw Cemos yn ei roi'n feddiant iti yr wyt ti i'w feddiannu? Yn yr un modd meddiannwn ninnau'r cyfan y bydd yr ARGLWYDD ein Duw yn ei roi'n feddiant i ninnau.

²⁵And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,

²⁵ Ac yn awr, a wyt ti rywfaint gwell na Balac fab Sippor, brenin Moab? A fu ef yn ymryson o gwbl ag Israel, neu'n ymladd erioed yn eu herbyn?

²⁶While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?

²⁶ Bu Israel yn byw yn Hesbon ac Aroer a'u maestrefi, ac yn yr holl drefi sydd ar lannau'r afon, am dri chan mlynedd; pam na fyddech wedi eu hadennill yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw?

²⁷Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

²⁷ Nid myfi sydd wedi pechu yn d'erbyn, ond ti sy'n gwneud cam � mi wrth ddod i ryfela yn f'erbyn. Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn farnwr; barned ef heddiw rhwng Israel a'r Ammoniaid.'"

²⁸Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.

²⁸ Ond ni wrandawodd brenin yr Ammoniaid ar y neges a anfonodd Jefftha ato.

²⁹Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.

²⁹ Daeth ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ar Jefftha, ac aeth trwy Gilead a Manasse a thrwy Mispe Gilead, ac oddi yno drosodd at yr Ammoniaid.

³⁰And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

³⁰ A gwnaeth Jefftha adduned i'r ARGLWYDD a dweud, "Os rhoi di'r Ammoniaid yn fy llaw,

³¹Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.

³¹ beth bynnag a ddaw allan o ddrws fy nhu375? i'm cyfarfod wrth imi ddychwelyd yn ddiogel oddi wrth yr Ammoniaid, bydd yn eiddo i'r ARGLWYDD, ac offrymaf ef yn boethoffrwm."

³²So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

³² A phan aeth Jefftha i frwydro yn erbyn yr Ammoniaid, fe roddodd yr ARGLWYDD hwy yn llaw Jefftha,

³³And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

³³ a goresgynnodd hwy'n llwyr, o Aroer hyd gyffiniau Minnith � ugain tref, gan gynnwys Abel-ceramim; felly darostyngwyd yr Ammoniaid gan yr Israeliaid.

³⁴And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

³⁴ Pan gyrhaeddodd Jefftha ei gartref yn Mispa, daeth ei ferch allan i'w gyfarfod � thympanau a dawnsiau. Hi oedd ei unig blentyn; nid oedd ganddo fab na merch ar wah�n iddi hi.

³⁵And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.

³⁵ A phan welodd ef hi, rhwygodd ei wisg, a dweud, "Gwae fi, fy merch! Yr wyt ti wedi fy nryllio'n llwyr, a thi yw achos fy nhrallod. Gwneuthum addewid i'r ARGLWYDD, ac ni allaf ei thorri."

³⁶And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.

³⁶ Ac meddai hithau wrtho, "Fy nhad, yr wyt wedi gwneud addewid i'r ARGLWYDD; gwna imi fel yr addewaist, wedi i'r ARGLWYDD sicrhau iti ddialedd ar dy elynion, yr Ammoniaid."

³⁷And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

³⁷ Ychwanegodd, "Caniat� un peth i mi; rho imi ysbaid o ddeufis i grwydro'r mynyddoedd ac i wylo am fy morwyndod gyda'm ffrindiau."

³⁸And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.

³⁸ Dywedodd yntau, "Ie, dos." Gadawodd iddi fynd am ddeufis; ac aeth hithau a'i ffrindiau i wylo am ei morwyndod ar y mynyddoedd.

³⁹And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,

³⁹ Ar derfyn y deufis, daeth yn �l at ei thad, a gwnaeth yntau iddi yn �l yr adduned a dyngodd. Nid oedd hi wedi cael cyfathrach � gu373?r. A daeth hyn yn ddefod yn Israel,

⁴⁰That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

⁴⁰ bod merched Israel yn mynd allan bob blwyddyn i alaru am ferch Jefftha o Gilead am bedwar diwrnod yn y flwyddyn.
