¹Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.

¹ Yr oedd yr Israeliaid wedi tyngu yn Mispa na fyddai neb ohonynt yn rhoi ei ferch yn wraig i Benjaminiad.

²And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;

² Wedi i'r bobl ddod i Fethel ac eistedd yno gerbron Duw hyd yr hwyr, dechreusant wylo'n hidl,

³And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?

³ a dweud, "Pam, O ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, y digwyddodd hyn i Israel, bod un llwyth heddiw yn eisiau?"

⁴And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

⁴ Trannoeth, wedi i'r bobl godi'n fore, codasant yno allor ac aberthu poethoffrymau a heddoffrymau.

⁵And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.

⁵ Yna dywedodd yr Israeliaid, "Pwy o holl lwythau Israel sydd heb ddod i fyny at yr ARGLWYDD i'r cynulliad?" Oherwydd yr oedd llw difrifol wedi ei dyngu y byddai'r sawl na dd�i i fyny at yr ARGLWYDD i Mispa yn sicr o gael ei roi i farwolaeth.

⁶And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.

⁶ Gofidiodd yr Israeliaid am eu perthynas Benjamin, a dweud, "Y mae un llwyth wedi ei dorri allan o Israel heddiw.

⁷How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?

⁷ Beth a wnawn ni dros y dynion sydd ar �l, a ninnau wedi tyngu i'r ARGLWYDD na roddem iddynt yr un o'n merched yn wraig?"

⁸And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.

⁸ Ac meddent, "Prun o lwythau Israel sydd heb ddod i fyny at yr ARGLWYDD i Mispa?" Nid oedd neb o Jabes-gilead wedi dod i'r gwersyll i'r cynulliad.

⁹For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.

⁹ Pan gyfrifwyd y bobl, nid oedd yno neb o drigolion Jabes-gilead.

¹⁰And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.

¹⁰ Felly anfonodd y cynulliad ddeuddeng mil o wu375?r rhyfel yno, a gorchymyn iddynt, "Ewch a lladdwch drigolion Jabes-gilead �'r cleddyf, yn cynnwys y gwragedd a'r plant.

¹¹And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.

¹¹ A dyma'r hyn a wnewch: dinistriwch yn llwyr bob dyn, a phob dynes nad yw'n wyryf."

¹²And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

¹² Cawsant ymhlith Jabes-gilead bedwar cant o wyryfon nad oeddent wedi gorwedd gyda dyn; a daethant � hwy i'r gwersyll i Seilo yng ngwlad Canaan.

¹³And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.

¹³ Anfonodd y cynulliad cyfan neges at y Benjaminiaid oedd yng nghraig Rimmon, a chynnig heddwch iddynt.

¹⁴And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.

¹⁴ Yna, wedi iddynt ddychwelyd, rhoesant iddynt y merched o Jabes-gilead yr oeddent wedi eu harbed. Eto nid oedd hynny'n ddigon ar eu cyfer.

¹⁵And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

¹⁵ A chan fod y bobl yn gofidio am Benjamin, am i'r ARGLWYDD wneud bwlch yn llwythau Israel,

¹⁶Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?

¹⁶ dywedodd henuriaid y cynulliad, "Beth a wnawn am wragedd i'r gweddill, gan fod y merched wedi eu difa o blith Benjamin?"

¹⁷And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.

¹⁷ Ac meddent, "Rhaid cael etifeddion i'r rhai o Benjamin a arbedwyd, rhag dileu llwyth o Israel.

¹⁸Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.

¹⁸ Ni allwn roi iddynt wragedd o blith ein merched ni, am fod yr Israeliaid wedi tyngu, 'Melltigedig fyddo'r hwn a roddo wraig i Benjamin.'"

¹⁹Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

¹⁹ A dyna hwy'n dweud, "Y mae gu373?yl i'r ARGLWYDD bob blwyddyn yn Seilo, o du'r gogledd i Fethel, ac i'r dwyrain o'r briffordd sy'n arwain o Fethel i Sichem, i'r de o Lebona."

²⁰Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;

²⁰ A rhoesant orchymyn i'r Benjaminiaid, "Ewch ac ymguddiwch yn y gwinllannoedd,

²¹And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

²¹ a gwyliwch. A phan ddaw merched Seilo allan i ddawnsio, rhuthrwch allan o'r gwinllannoedd a chipiwch bob un wraig o'u plith, ac yna dewch yn �l i dir Benjamin.

²²And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favorable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.

²² Ac os daw eu hynafiaid neu eu brodyr atom i achwyn, fe ddywedwn wrthynt, 'Byddwch yn rasol wrthynt, oherwydd ni chawsom wragedd iddynt trwy ryfel; ac nid chwi sydd wedi eu rhoi hwy iddynt, felly rydych chwi'n ddieuog.'"

²³And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.

²³ Gwnaeth y Benjaminiaid hyn, ac wedi i bob un gael gwraig o blith y dawnswyr yr oeddent wedi eu cipio, aethant yn �l i'w tiriogaeth ac ailadeiladu'r trefi a byw ynddynt.

²⁴And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.

²⁴ Dychwelodd yr Israeliaid hefyd yr un pryd i'w tiriogaeth, a phob un yn mynd yn �l at ei lwyth a'i deulu ei hun.

²⁵In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

²⁵ Yn y dyddiau hynny nid oedd brenin yn Israel. Yr oedd pob un yn gwneud yr hyn oedd yn iawn yn ei olwg ei hun.
