¹ Yr oedd gair Samuel yn air i Israel gyfan. Aeth Israel i ryfel yn erbyn y Philistiaid a gwersyllu ger Eben-eser, a'r Philistiaid yn gwersyllu yn Affec.

¹And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.

² Wedi i'r Philistiaid drefnu eu byddin yn erbyn Israel, aeth yn frwydr, a threchwyd Israel gan y Philistiaid; lladdwyd tua phedair mil o'r fyddin ar faes y gad.

²And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.

³ Pan ddychwelodd y bobl i'r gwersyll, holodd henuriaid Israel, "Pam y trawodd yr ARGLWYDD ni heddiw o flaen y Philistiaid? Cymerwn atom o Seilo arch cyfamod yr ARGLWYDD, a doed i'n plith i'n hachub o law ein gelynion."

³And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

⁴ Anfonodd y bobl i Seilo a chymryd oddi yno arch cyfamod ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd sydd �'i orsedd ar y cerwbiaid. Yno hefyd, gydag arch cyfamod Duw, yr oedd dau fab Eli, Hoffni a Phinees.

⁴So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

⁵ Pan gyrhaeddodd arch cyfamod yr ARGLWYDD i'r gwersyll, gwaeddodd yr Israeliaid i gyd � bloedd uchel nes bod y ddaear yn datseinio.

⁵And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

⁶ Clywodd y Philistiaid y floedd a gofyn, "Beth yw'r floedd fawr hon a glywir yng ngwersyll yr Hebreaid?" Wedi iddynt ddeall mai arch cyfamod yr ARGLWYDD oedd wedi cyrraedd i'r gwersyll,

⁶And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.

⁷ ofnodd y Philistiaid, oherwydd dweud yr oeddent, "Daeth duw i'r gwersyll." Ac meddent, "Gwae ni! Oherwydd ni fu peth fel hyn erioed o'r blaen.

⁷And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.

⁸ Gwae ni! Pwy a'n gwared ni o law'r duwiau nerthol hyn? Dyma'r duwiau a drawodd yr Eifftiaid � phob math o bla yn yr anialwch.

⁸Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

⁹ Byddwch yn gryf a gwrol, O Philistiaid, rhag i chwi fynd yn gaeth i'r Hebreaid fel y buont hwy i chwi; ie, byddwch yn wrol ac ymladd."

⁹Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.

¹⁰ Ymladdodd y Philistiaid, a threchwyd Israel, a ffodd pawb adref. Bu lladdfa fawr iawn, a syrthiodd deng mil ar hugain o wu375?r traed Israel.

¹⁰And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

¹¹ Hefyd cymerwyd arch Duw, a bu farw Hoffni a Phinees, dau fab Eli.

¹¹And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

¹² Y diwrnod hwnnw rhedodd un o wu375?r Benjamin o'r frwydr a chyrraedd Seilo �'i ddillad wedi eu rhwygo a phridd ar ei ben.

¹²And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.

¹³ Pan ddaeth, dyna lle'r oedd Eli yn eistedd ar sedd gerllaw'r ffordd yn disgwyl, am ei fod yn bryderus iawn am arch Duw. Pan ddaeth y dyn a chyhoeddi'r newydd yn y ddinas, bu llefain drwy'r ddinas.

¹³And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.

¹⁴ A phan glywodd Eli su373?n y llefain, holodd, "Beth yw'r cynnwrf yma?" Yna brysiodd y dyn, a dod ac adrodd yr hanes wrth Eli.

¹⁴And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.

¹⁵ Yr oedd Eli'n naw deg ac wyth oed, a'i lygaid wedi pylu fel na fedrai weld.

¹⁵Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.

¹⁶ A dywedodd y dyn wrth Eli, "Myfi sydd wedi dod o'r frwydr; heddiw y ffois o'r gad." Yna gofynnodd iddo, "Beth yw'r newydd, fy machgen?"

¹⁶And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?

¹⁷ Atebodd y cennad, "Ffodd Israel o flaen y Philistiaid, a bu lladdfa fawr ymysg y bobl hefyd; y mae dy ddau fab, Hoffni a Phinees wedi marw, ac arch Duw wedi ei chymryd."

¹⁷And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

¹⁸ Pan soniodd am arch Duw, syrthiodd Eli yn wysg ei gefn oddi ar y sedd gerllaw'r porth, a thorri ei wddf a marw, oherwydd yr oedd yn hen ac yn ddyn trwm. Yr oedd wedi barnu Israel am ddeugain mlynedd.

¹⁸And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

¹⁹ Yr oedd ei ferch-yng-nghyfraith, gwraig Phinees, yn feichiog ac yn agos i esgor. Pan glywodd hi'r newydd fod arch Duw wedi ei chymryd a bod ei thad-yng-nghyfraith a'i gu373?r wedi marw, crymodd ac esgorodd, oherwydd daeth ei gwewyr arni.

¹⁹And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.

²⁰ Ac fel yr oedd hi'n marw, dywedodd y merched oedd o'i chwmpas, "Paid ag ofni, rwyt ti wedi esgor ar fab." Nid atebodd hi na chymryd sylw,

²⁰And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.

²¹ ond enwi'r bachgen, Ichabod, a dweud, "Ciliodd gogoniant o Israel," oherwydd colli arch Duw a'i thad-yng-nghyfraith a'i gu373?r.

²¹And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

²² Dyna a ddywedodd, "Ciliodd gogoniant o Israel, oherwydd cymryd arch Duw."

²²And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
