¹In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

¹ Yn y ddeunawfed flwyddyn i'r Brenin Jeroboam, daeth Abeia yn frenin ar Jwda.

²Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

² Teyrnasodd am dair blynedd yn Jerwsalem, a Michaia ferch Uriel o Gibea oedd enw ei fam.

³And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.

³ Bu rhyfel rhwng Abeia a Jeroboam; aeth Abeia i'r frwydr gyda byddin o filwyr dewr, pedwar can mil o wu375?r dethol, a daeth Jeroboam i'w gyfarfod gydag wyth can mil o wroniaid dethol.

⁴And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:

⁴ Safodd Abeia ar Fynydd Semaraim ym mynydd-dir Effraim a dweud, "Gwrandewch arnaf fi, Jeroboam a holl Israel.

⁵Ought ye not to know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

⁵ Oni wyddoch fod ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel wedi rhoi i Ddafydd a'i feibion yr hawl i deyrnasu am byth ar Israel trwy gyfamod halen?

⁶Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.

⁶ Ond gwrthryfelodd Jeroboam fab Nebat, gwas Solomon fab Dafydd, yn erbyn ei arglwydd,

⁷And there were gathered unto him worthless men, base fellows, that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them.

⁷ a chasglu ato ddihirod ofer, a fu'n herio Rehoboam fab Solomon, pan oedd yn llanc ifanc ofnus a heb fod yn ddigon cryf i'w gwrthsefyll.

⁸And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.

⁸ Yn awr, yr ydych chwi'n bwriadu gwrthsefyll teyrnas yr ARGLWYDD, sydd wedi ei rhoi i feibion Dafydd, am eich bod yn niferus iawn ac yn berchen ar y lloi aur a wnaeth Jeroboam yn dduwiau i chwi.

⁹Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests after the manner of the peoples of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of [them that are] no gods.

⁹ Onid ydych wedi diarddel offeiriaid yr ARGLWYDD, meibion Aaron, a'r Lefiaid, ac ethol eich offeiriaid eich hunain, fel y gwna pobl gwledydd eraill? Y mae pwy bynnag sy'n dod i'w gysegru ei hun � bustach ifanc a saith o hyrddod yn mynd yn offeiriad i'r un nad yw'n dduw.

¹⁰But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and [we have] priests ministering unto Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:

¹⁰ Ond yr ARGLWYDD yw ein Duw ni, ac nid ydym wedi ei wrthod; meibion Aaron yw'r offeiriaid sydd gennym ni yn gwasanaethu'r ARGLWYDD, a'r Lefiaid yn eu cynorthwyo.

¹¹and they burn unto Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense: the showbread also [set they] in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him.

¹¹ Y maent yn llosgi poethoffrymau ac arogldarth peraidd i'r ARGLWYDD bob bore a hwyr, ac yn trefnu'r bara gosod ar y bwrdd dihalog a chynnau'r lampau yn y canhwyllbren aur bob prynhawn. Oherwydd yr ydym ni'n dal i wasanaethu'r ARGLWYDD ein Duw; ond yr ydych chwi wedi ei wrthod.

¹²And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

¹² Wele, y mae Duw gyda ni i'n harwain, a'i offeiriaid � thrwmpedau yn galw brwydr yn eich erbyn. Bobl Israel, peidiwch ag ymladd yn erbyn ARGLWYDD Dduw eich hynafiaid, oherwydd ni fyddwch yn llwyddo."

¹³But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.

¹³ Anfonodd Jeroboam rai o'u hamgylch i ymguddio ac ymosod arnynt o'r tu �l; felly, tra oedd rhai o flaen Jwda, yr oedd y lleill mewn cuddfan y tu cefn iddynt.

¹⁴And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

¹⁴ Troes gwu375?r Jwda, a gweld y byddai'n rhaid iddynt ymladd o'r tu blaen ac o'r tu �l;

¹⁵Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

¹⁵ yna galwasant ar yr ARGLWYDD, ac fe ganodd yr offeiriaid y trwmpedau, a bloeddiodd gwu375?r Jwda. Pan floeddiodd gwu375?r Jwda, trawodd Duw Jeroboam a holl Israel o flaen Abeia a Jwda.

¹⁶And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.

¹⁶ Ffodd yr Israeliaid o flaen gwu375?r Jwda, ac fe roddodd Duw hwy yn eu llaw.

¹⁷And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

¹⁷ Lladdodd Abeia a'i filwyr lawer iawn ohonynt; syrthiodd yn gelain bum can mil o wu375?r dethol Israel.

¹⁸Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers.

¹⁸ Darostyngwyd yr Israeliaid y pryd hwnnw, a chafodd byddin Jwda fuddugoliaeth am iddynt ymddiried yn ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid.

¹⁹And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof.

¹⁹ Ymlidiodd Abeia ar �l Jeroboam a chymryd oddi arno ddinasoedd Bethel, Jesana ac Effraim a'u pentrefi.

²⁰Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah smote him, and he died.

²⁰ Ni lwyddodd Jeroboam i adennill ei nerth yn ystod teyrnasiad Abeia; trawyd ef gan yr ARGLWYDD, a bu farw.

²¹But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

²¹ Ond cryfhaodd Abeia; priododd bedair ar ddeg o wragedd, a chenhedlu dau fab ar hugain ac un ar bymtheg o ferched.

²²And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

²² Y mae gweddill hanes Abeia, yr hyn a wnaeth ac a ddywedodd, yn ysgrifenedig yn llyfr y proffwyd Ido.
