¹And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

¹ Aeth Rehoboam i Sichem, gan mai i Sichem y daethai holl Israel i'w urddo'n frenin.

²And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon,) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

² Pan glywodd Jeroboam fab Nebat, ac yntau yn yr Aifft, lle'r oedd wedi ffoi rhag y Brenin Solomon, dychwelodd oddi yno.

³And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spake to Rehoboam, saying,

³ Galwyd arno, ac fe ddaeth yntau a holl Israel a dweud wrth Rehoboam,

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

⁴ "Trymhaodd dy dad ein hiau; os gwnei di'n awr ysgafnhau peth ar gaethiwed caled dy dad, a'r iau drom a osododd arnom, yna fe'th wasanaethwn."

⁵And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.

⁵ Dywedodd yntau wrthynt, "Ewch i ffwrdd am dridiau, ac yna dewch yn �l ataf." Aeth y bobl.

⁶And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?

⁶ Ymgynghorodd Rehoboam �'r henuriaid oedd yn llys ei dad Solomon pan oedd yn fyw, a gofynnodd, "Sut y byddech chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn?"

⁷And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

⁷ Eu hateb oedd, "Os byddi'n gl�n wrthynt, a'u bodloni a'u hateb � geiriau teg, byddant yn weision iti am byth."

⁸But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.

⁸ Ond gwrthododd y cyngor a roes yr henuriaid, a cheisiodd gyngor y llanciau oedd yn gyfoedion iddo ac yn aelodau o'i lys.

⁹And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?

⁹ Gofynnodd iddynt hwy, "Beth ydych chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyf, 'Ysgafnha rywfaint ar yr iau a osododd dy dad arnom'?"

¹⁰And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.

¹⁰ Atebodd y llanciau oedd yn gyfoed ag ef, "Fel hyn y dywedi wrth y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyt, 'Gwnaeth dy dad ein hiau yn drwm; ysgafnha dithau arnom'. Ie, dyma a ddywedi wrthynt: 'Y mae fy mys bach i yn braffach na llwynau fy nhad!

¹¹And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.

¹¹ Y mae'n wir i'm tad osod iau drom arnoch, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach. Cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!'"

¹²So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.

¹² Pan ddaeth Jeroboam a'r holl bobl at Rehoboam ar y trydydd dydd, yn �l gorchymyn y brenin, "Dewch yn �l ataf ymhen tridiau",

¹³And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,

¹³ atebodd y brenin hwy'n chwyrn. Diystyrodd Rehoboam gyngor yr henuriaid, a derbyn cyngor y llanciau.

¹⁴and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.

¹⁴ Dywedodd wrthynt, "Trymhaodd fy nhad eich iau, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach; cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!"

¹⁵So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that Jehovah might establish his word, which he spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁵ Felly ni wrandawodd y brenin ar y bobl, oherwydd fel hyn y tynghedwyd gan Dduw, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD gyflawni'r gair a lefarwyd drwy Aheia o Seilo wrth Jeroboam fab Nebat.

¹⁶And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So all Israel departed unto their tents.

¹⁶ A phan welodd holl Israel nad oedd y brenin am wrando arnynt, daeth ateb oddi wrth y bobl at y brenin: "Pa ran sydd i ni yn Nafydd? Nid oes gyfran inni ym mab Jesse. Adref i'th bebyll, Israel! Edrych at dy du375? dy hun, Ddafydd!"

¹⁷But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

¹⁷ Yna aeth Israel adref. Ond yr oedd rhai Israeliaid yn byw yn nhrefi Jwda, a Rehoboam yn frenin arnynt.

¹⁸Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁸ Pan anfonodd y brenin atynt Adoram, goruchwyliwr y llafur gorfod, llabyddiodd yr Israeliaid ef a'i ladd; ond llwyddodd y Brenin Rehoboam i gyrraedd ei gerbyd a ffoi i Jerwsalem.

¹⁹So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

¹⁹ Ac y mae Israel mewn gwrthryfel yn erbyn llinach Dafydd hyd heddiw.
