¹Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah, of Beer-sheba.

¹ Saith oed oedd Jehoas pan ddaeth yn frenin, a theyrnasodd yn Jerwsalem am ddeugain mlynedd. Sibia o Beerseba oedd enw ei fam.

²And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

² Gwnaeth Jehoas yr hyn oedd uniawn yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD trwy gydol cyfnod Jehoiada'r offeiriad.

³And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

³ Dewisodd Jehoiada ddwy wraig iddo, a chafodd ganddynt feibion a merched.

⁴And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of Jehovah.

⁴ Wedi hyn, rhoddodd Jehoas ei fryd ar adnewyddu tu375?'r ARGLWYDD.

⁵And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year; and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

⁵ Cynullodd yr offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid a dweud wrthynt, "Ewch ar frys trwy holl ddinasoedd Jwda i gasglu'r dreth flynyddol gan Israel gyfan, er mwyn atgyweirio tu375? eich Duw." Ond ni frysiodd y Lefiaid.

⁶And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?

⁶ Galwodd y brenin ar Jehoiada, yr archoffeiriad, a dweud wrtho, "Pam na fynnaist fod y Lefiaid yn casglu o Jwda a Jerwsalem y dreth a osododd Moses gwas yr ARGLWYDD ar gynulleidfa Israel ar gyfer pabell y dystiolaeth?

⁷For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of Jehovah did they bestow upon the Baalim.

⁷ Oherwydd y mae meibion y wraig ddrwg Athaleia wedi malurio tu375? Dduw, ac wedi rhoi pob un o'i bethau cysegredig i'r Baalim."

⁸So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of Jehovah.

⁸ Ar orchymyn y brenin gwnaethant gist a'i gosod y tu allan i borth tu375?'r ARGLWYDD.

⁹And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Jehovah the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

⁹ Yna cyhoeddwyd trwy Jwda a Jerwsalem fod pawb i roi i'r ARGLWYDD y dreth a osododd Moses gwas Duw ar Israel yn yr anialwch.

¹⁰And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

¹⁰ Dygodd yr holl dywysogion a'r bobl yr arian yn llawen, a'i roi yn y gist nes ei bod yn llawn.

¹¹And it was so, that, at what time the chest was brought unto the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

¹¹ Bob tro y byddai'r Lefiaid yn dod �'r gist at swyddogion y brenin, a hwythau'n gweld fod ynddi swm mawr o arian, byddai ysgrifennydd y brenin a swyddog yr archoffeiriad yn dod ac yn gwagio'r gist, ac yna'n mynd � hi'n �l i'w lle. Gwnaent hyn yn gyson, a chasglu llawer o arian.

¹²And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Jehovah, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of Jehovah.

¹² Rhoddai'r brenin a Jehoiada yr arian i'r rhai a benodwyd i ofalu am y gwaith yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD; yr oeddent hwythau yn cyflogi seiri maen a seiri coed i adnewyddu tu375?'r ARGLWYDD, a gweithwyr mewn haearn a phres i'w atgyweirio.

¹³So the workmen wrought, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.

¹³ Yr oedd y rhai a benodwyd yn gweithio'n ddyfal, a bu'r atgyweirio'n llwyddiant dan eu gofal; gwnaethant du375? Dduw yn gadarn, a'i adfer i'w gyflwr gwreiddiol.

¹⁴And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of Jehovah, even vessels wherewith to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada.

¹⁴ Wedi iddynt orffen, daethant � gweddill yr arian i'r brenin ac i Jehoiada, ac fe'i defnyddiwyd i wneud llestri i du375?'r ARGLWYDD, sef llestri ar gyfer y gwasanaeth a'r poethoffrymau, llwyau a llestri aur ac arian. Buont yn offrymu poethoffrymau yn barhaus yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD holl ddyddiau Jehoiada.

¹⁵But Jehoiada waxed old and was full of days, and he died; a hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

¹⁵ Aeth Jehoiada'n hen, a bu farw mewn oedran teg. Yr oedd yn gant tri deg pan fu farw,

¹⁶And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.

¹⁶ a chafodd ei gladdu gyda'r brenhinoedd yn Ninas Dafydd, am iddo wneud daioni yn Israel a gwasanaethu Duw a'i du375?.

¹⁷Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.

¹⁷ Wedi marw Jehoiada, daeth tyw-ysogion Jwda i dalu gwrogaeth i'r brenin, a gwrandawodd yntau arnynt.

¹⁸And they forsook the house of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.

¹⁸ Yna troesant eu cefn ar du375?'r ARGLWYDD, Duw eu hynafiaid, a gwasanaethu'r pyst Asera a'r delwau. Daeth llid Duw ar Jwda a Jerwsalem am iddynt droseddu fel hyn.

¹⁹Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto Jehovah; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

¹⁹ Ac er i'r ARGLWYDD anfon proffwydi atynt i'w harwain yn �l ato ac i'w hargyhoeddi, ni wrandawsant arnynt.

²⁰And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of Jehovah, so that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken Jehovah, he hath also forsaken you.

²⁰ Yna daeth ysbryd Duw ar Sechareia fab Jehoiada yr offeiriad, ac fe safodd gerbron y bobl a dweud, "Fel hyn y dywed Duw: 'Pam yr ydych yn torri gorchmynion yr ARGLWYDD? Ni fyddwch yn ffynnu. Am i chwi droi cefn ar yr ARGLWYDD, y mae yntau wedi troi ei gefn arnoch chwi.'"

²¹And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah.

²¹ Ond gwnaethant gynllwyn yn ei erbyn, ac ar orchymyn y brenin fe'i llabyddiwyd yng nghyntedd tu375?'r ARGLWYDD.

²²Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Jehovah look upon it, and require it.

²² Anghofiodd y Brenin Jehoas am y caredigrwydd a gafodd gan Jehoiada tad Sechareia, a lladdodd ei fab. Fel yr oedd Sechareia'n marw, dywedodd, "Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD weld, a'th alw i gyfrif."

²³And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.

²³ Ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn daeth byddin Syria i ryfela yn erbyn Jehoas. Daethant i Jwda a Jerwsalem, a lladd pob un o dywysogion y bobl, ac anfon eu hysbail i gyd i frenin Damascus.

²⁴For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Jehovah delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment upon Joash.

²⁴ Er i'r Syriaid ddod gyda byddin fechan, rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD lu mawr iawn yn eu dwylo, am i'r bobl droi eu cefn ar yr ARGLWYDD, Duw eu hynafiaid. Felly daethant � barn ar Jehoas.

²⁵And when they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

²⁵ Ar �l i'r Syriaid fynd ymaith, a'i adael wedi ei glwyfo'n ddrwg, cynllwyniodd ei weision ei hun yn ei erbyn i ddial am farwolaeth mab Jehoiada yr offeiriad, a lladdasant Jehoas ar ei wely. Felly bu farw, ac fe'i claddwyd yn Ninas Dafydd, ond nid ym meddau'r brenhinoedd.

²⁶And these are they that conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

²⁶ Y rhai a gynllwyniodd yn ei erbyn oedd Sabad fab Simeath yr Ammones, a Jehosabad fab Simrith y Foabes.

²⁷Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

²⁷ Y mae hanes ei feibion, y llu oraclau a draddodwyd yn ei erbyn, a hanes ei waith yn atgyweirio tu375? Dduw, i gyd wedi eu hysgrifennu yn yr esboniad ar Lyfr y Brenhinoedd. Daeth ei fab Amaseia yn frenin yn ei le.
