¹Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

¹ Yn ystod y cyfnod pan oedd y barnwyr yn llywodraethu, bu newyn yn y wlad, ac aeth dyn o Fethlehem Jwda gyda'i wraig a'i ddau fab i fyw dros dro yng ngwlad Moab.

²And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.

² Elimelech oedd enw'r dyn, Naomi oedd enw ei wraig, a Mahlon a Chilion oedd enwau'r ddau fab. Effrateaid o Fethlehem Jwda oeddent, ac aethant i wlad Moab ac aros yno.

³And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.

³ Ond bu farw Elimelech, gu373?r Naomi, a gadawyd hi'n weddw gyda'i dau fab.

⁴And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.

⁴ Priododd y ddau � merched o Moab; Orpa oedd enw'r naill a Ruth oedd enw'r llall. Wedi iddynt fod yno tua deng mlynedd,

⁵And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.

⁵ bu farw Mahlon a Chilion ill dau; a gadawyd y wraig yn amddifad o'i dau blentyn yn ogystal ag o'i gu373?r.

⁶Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

⁶ Penderfynodd hi a'i dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith ddychwelyd o wlad Moab, oherwydd iddi glywed yno i'r ARGLWYDD ymweld �'i bobl a rhoi bwyd iddynt.

⁷Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.

⁷ Gadawodd hi a'i dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith y man lle'r oeddent, a chychwyn yn �l am wlad Jwda.

⁸And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

⁸ Ac meddai Naomi wrth ei dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith, "Ewch yn �l adref, bob un at ei mam, y ddwy ohonoch; a bydded yr ARGLWYDD mor garedig wrthych chwi ag y buoch chwi wrth y rhai a fu farw ac wrthyf finnau,

⁹The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁹ a rhoi i'r ddwy ohonoch orffwysfa mewn cartref gyda gu373?r." Yna fe'u cusanodd, a dechreuodd y ddwy wylo'n uchel,

¹⁰And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.

¹⁰ a dweud wrthi, "Ond yr ydym ni am ddychwelyd gyda thi at dy bobl."

¹¹And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

¹¹ Dywedodd Naomi, "Ewch adref, fy merched. Pam y dewch gyda mi? A oes gennyf fi ragor o feibion yn fy nghroth, iddynt ddod yn wu375?r i chwi?

¹²Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

¹² Ewch yn �l, fy merched, oherwydd yr wyf fi'n rhy hen i gael gu373?r. Pe bawn i'n dweud bod gennyf obaith cael gu373?r heno, ac yna geni plant,

¹³Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

¹³ a fyddech chwi'n disgwyl nes iddynt dyfu? A fyddech yn ymgadw rhag priodi? Na, fy merched; y mae'n llawer chwerwach i mi nag i chwi am fod llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn f'erbyn i."

¹⁴And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

¹⁴ Wylodd y ddwy yn uchel eto; yna ffarweliodd Orpa �'i mam-yng-nghyfraith, ond glynodd Ruth wrthi.

¹⁵And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

¹⁵ A dywedodd Naomi, "Edrych, y mae dy chwaer-yng-nghyfraith wedi mynd yn �l at ei phobl a'i duw; dychwel dithau ar ei h�l."

¹⁶And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

¹⁶ Ond meddai Ruth, "Paid �'m hannog i'th adael, na throi'n �l oddi wrthyt, oherwydd i ble bynnag yr ei di, fe af finnau; ac ym mhle bynnag y byddi di'n aros, fe arhosaf finnau; dy bobl di fydd fy mhobl i, a'th Dduw di fy Nuw innau.

¹⁷Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

¹⁷ Lle y byddi di farw, y byddaf finnau farw ac yno y'm cleddir. Fel hyn y gwnelo'r ARGLWYDD i mi, a rhagor, os bydd unrhyw beth ond angau yn ein gwahanu ni."

¹⁸When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

¹⁸ Gwelodd Naomi ei bod yn benderfynol o fynd gyda hi, ac fe beidiodd �'i hannog rhagor.

¹⁹So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

¹⁹ Aeth y ddwy ymlaen nes dod i Fethlehem; ac wedi iddynt gyrraedd, bu cyffro trwy'r holl dref o'u plegid, a'r merched yn gofyn, "Ai Naomi yw hon?"

²⁰And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

²⁰ Dywedodd hithau wrthynt, "Peidiwch �'m galw'n Naomi, galwch fi'n Mara; oherwydd bu'r Hollalluog yn chwerw iawn wrthyf.

²¹I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

²¹ Yr oeddwn yn llawn wrth fynd allan, ond daeth yr ARGLWYDD � mi'n �l yn wag. Pam y galwch fi'n Naomi, a'r ARGLWYDD wedi tystio i'm herbyn, a'r Hollalluog wedi dod � drwg arnaf?"

²²So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.

²² Fel hyn y dychwelodd Naomi o wlad Moab, a'i merch-yng-nghyfraith, Ruth y Foabes, gyda hi. Daethant i Fethlehem yn nechrau'r cynhaeaf haidd.
