1 Pan ddychwelodd Rehoboam i Jerwsalem, galwodd ynghyd dylwythau Jwda a Benjamin, cant a phedwar ugain o filoedd o ryfelwyr dethol, i ryfela yn erbyn Israel i adennill y frenhiniaeth i Rehoboam.
1And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Ond daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Semeia, gu373?r Duw:
2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 "Dywed wrth Rehoboam fab Solomon, brenin Jwda, ac wrth holl Israel yn Jwda a Benjamin,
3Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Peidiwch � mynd i ryfela yn erbyn eich perthnasau; ewch yn �l adref bob un, gan mai oddi wrthyf fi y daw hyn.'" A gwrandawsant ar eiriau'r ARGLWYDD, a pheidio � mynd yn erbyn Jeroboam.
4Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 Arhosodd Rehoboam yn Jerwsalem, ac adeiladu dinasoedd caerog yn Jwda.
5And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
6 Adeiladodd Bethlehem, Etam, Tecoa,
6He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 Beth-sur, Socho, Adulam,
7And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 Gath, Maresa, Siff,
8And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 Adoraim, Lachis, Aseca,
9And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 Sora, Ajalon a Hebron, sef dinasoedd caerog Jwda a Benjamin.
10And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11 Cryfhaodd y caerau a rhoi rheolwyr ynddynt, a hefyd st�r o fwyd, olew a gwin.
11And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12 Gwnaeth bob dinas yn amddiffynfa gadarn iawn ac yn lle i gadw tarianau a gwaywffyn. Felly daliodd ei afael ar Jwda a Benjamin.
12And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 Daeth yr offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid ato o ble bynnag yr oeddent yn byw yn Israel gyfan;
13And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14 oherwydd yr oedd y Lefiaid wedi gadael eu cytir a'u tiriogaeth a dod i Jwda a Jerwsalem, am fod Jeroboam a'i feibion wedi eu rhwystro rhag bod yn offeiriaid i'r ARGLWYDD,
14For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:
15 ac wedi penodi ei offeiriaid ei hun ar gyfer yr uchelfeydd ac ar gyfer y bychod geifr a'r lloi a luniodd.
15And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 A daeth pawb o lwythau Israel, a oedd yn awyddus i geisio ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, ar �l y Lefiaid i Jerwsalem er mwyn aberthu i ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid.
16And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
17 Felly cryfhasant frenhiniaeth Jwda, a chadarnhau Rehoboam fab Solomon am dair blynedd, gan ddilyn yn llwybrau Dafydd a Solomon trwy'r cyfnod hwn.
17So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
18 Priododd Rehoboam � Mahalath; merch i Jerimoth fab Dafydd ac i Abihail ferch Eliab, fab Jesse oedd hi,
18And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 ac fe roes iddo feibion, sef Jeus, Samareia a Saham.
19Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 Ar ei h�l hi, fe gymerodd Maacha ferch Absalom, a rhoes hithau iddo Abeia, Attai, Sisa a Selomith.
20And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Yr oedd Rehoboam yn caru Maacha ferch Absalom yn fwy na'i holl wragedd a'i ordderchwragedd. Yr oedd ganddo ddeunaw o wragedd a thrigain o ordderchwragedd, ac fe genhedlodd wyth ar hugain o feibion a thrigain o ferched.
21And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22 Gosododd Rehoboam Abeia fab Maacha yn bennaeth ar ei frodyr, er mwyn ei wneud yn frenin.
22And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
23 Bu'n ddigon doeth i wasgaru ei feibion trwy'r holl ddinasoedd caerog yn nhiriogaeth Jwda a Benjamin. Darparodd yn hael ar eu cyfer a cheisiodd lawer o wragedd iddynt.
23And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
