¹So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

¹ Pan fu farw Abeia, a'i gladdu yn Ninas Dafydd, daeth ei fab Asa yn frenin yn ei le. Yn ystod ei deyrnasiad ef cafodd y wlad lonydd am ddeng mlynedd.

²And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God:

² Gwnaeth Asa yr hyn oedd dda ac uniawn yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw.

³for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,

³ Symudodd ymaith allorau'r duwiau dieithr a'r uchelfeydd, a dryllio'r colofnau a chwalu delwau Asera.

⁴and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

⁴ Anogodd Jwda i geisio ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid a chadw'r gyfraith a'r gorchmynion,

⁵Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

⁵ ac fe symudodd ymaith o holl ddinasoedd Jwda yr uchelfeydd a'r allorau. Cafodd y deyrnas lonydd yn ei oes ef.

⁶And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest.

⁶ Adeiladodd ddinasoedd caerog yn Jwda tra oedd y wlad yn cael llonydd, ac ni fu rhyfel yn ei erbyn yn ystod y blynyddoedd hynny am fod yr ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi heddwch iddo.

⁷For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

⁷ Dywedodd wrth Jwda, "Gadewch i ni adeiladu'r dinasoedd hyn a'u hamgylchu � muriau gyda thyrau, a dorau a barrau. Y mae'r wlad yn dal yn agored o'n blaen am i ni geisio'r ARGLWYDD ein Duw. Yr ydym ni wedi ei geisio ef, ac y mae yntau wedi rhoi heddwch i ni oddi amgylch." Felly, adeiladodd y bobl a llwyddo.

⁸And Asa had an army that bare bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.

⁸ Yr oedd gan Asa fyddin o dri chan mil o wu375?r Jwda yn dwyn tarian a gwaywffon, a dau gant a phedwar ugain mil o wu375?r Benjamin yn dwyn tarian a thynnu bwa; yr oeddent oll yn wroniaid.

⁹And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.

⁹ Daeth Sera yr Ethiopiad yn eu herbyn gyda byddin o filiwn, a thri chant o gerbydau.

¹⁰Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

¹⁰ Pan gyrhaeddodd Maresa, daeth Asa allan yn ei erbyn, a pharatoesant i ymladd yn nyffryn Seffatha, yn ymyl Maresa.

¹¹And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, there is none besides thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength: help us, O Jehovah our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

¹¹ Galwodd Asa ar yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw a dweud, "O ARGLWYDD, nid oes neb fel ti i gynorthwyo'r gwan yn erbyn y cryf; cynorthwya ni, O ARGLWYDD ein Duw, oherwydd yr ydym yn ymddiried ynot, ac yn dy enw di y daethom yn erbyn y dyrfa hon. O ARGLWYDD, ein Duw ni wyt ti; na fydded i neb gystadlu � thi."

¹²So Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

¹² Felly, gorchfygodd yr ARGLWYDD yr Ethiopiaid o flaen Asa a Jwda. Fe ffoesant,

¹³And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty.

¹³ gydag Asa a'i fyddin yn eu herlid, hyd at Gerar, lle syrthiodd cymaint ohonynt o flaen yr ARGLWYDD a'i fyddin fel na allent adennill eu nerth.

¹⁴And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Jehovah came upon them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.

¹⁴ Casglodd gwu375?r Jwda anrhaith mawr iawn, a choncro'r holl ddinasoedd o gwmpas Gerar, am fod ofn yr ARGLWYDD arnynt. Anrheithiasant yr holl ddinasoedd am fod ysbail mawr iawn ynddynt.

¹⁵They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

¹⁵ Ymosodasant hefyd ar gorlannau'r anifeiliaid a chario ymaith lawer o ddefaid a chamelod, ac yna dychwelyd i Jerwsalem.
