¹ Aeth angel yr ARGLWYDD i fyny o Gilgal i Bochim, a dywedodd, "Dygais chwi allan o'r Aifft, a dod � chwi i'r wlad a addewais i'ch hynafiaid. Dywedais hefyd, 'Ni thorraf fy nghyfamod � chwi byth;

¹And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

² peidiwch chwithau � gwneud cyfamod � thrigolion y wlad hon, ond bwriwch i lawr eu hallorau.' Eto nid ydych wedi gwrando arnaf. Pam y gwnaethoch hyn?

²And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

³ Yr wyf wedi penderfynu na yrraf hwy allan o'ch blaen, ond byddant yn ddrain yn eich ystlysau, a'u duwiau yn fagl ichwi."

³Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

⁴ Pan lefarodd angel yr ARGLWYDD y geiriau hyn wrth yr holl Israeliaid, torrodd y bobl allan i wylo'n uchel.

⁴And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁵ Am hynny enwyd y lle hwnnw Bochim; ac offrymasant yno aberth i'r ARGLWYDD.

⁵And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

⁶ Gollyngodd Josua y bobl ac aeth pob un o'r Israeliaid i'w etifeddiaeth i gymryd meddiant o'r wlad.

⁶And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

⁷ Addolodd y bobl yr ARGLWYDD holl ddyddiau Josua, a holl ddyddiau'r henuriaid oedd wedi goroesi Josua ac wedi gweld yr holl waith mawr a wnaeth yr ARGLWYDD dros Israel.

⁷And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

⁸ Bu farw Josua fab Nun, gwas yr ARGLWYDD, yn gant a deg oed,

⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

⁹ a chladdwyd ef o fewn terfynau ei etifeddiaeth, yn Timnath-heres ym mynydd-dir Effraim, i'r gogledd o Fynydd Gaas.

⁹And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

¹⁰ Casglwyd yr holl genhedlaeth honno at eu hynafiaid, a chododd cenhedlaeth arall ar eu h�l, nad oedd yn adnabod yr ARGLWYDD na chwaith yn gwybod am yr hyn a wnaeth dros Israel.

¹⁰And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

¹¹ Gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD; aethant i addoli'r Baalim,

¹¹And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

¹² gan adael yr ARGLWYDD, Duw eu hynafiaid, a'u dygodd allan o wlad yr Aifft, a mynd ar �l duwiau estron o blith duwiau'r cenhedloedd oedd o'u cwmpas, ac ymgrymu iddynt hwy, a digio'r ARGLWYDD.

¹²And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

¹³ Gadawsant yr ARGLWYDD ac addoli Baal ac Astaroth.

¹³And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

¹⁴ Cyneuodd llid yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn Israel, a rhoddodd hwy yn llaw rhai a fu'n eu hanrheithio, a gwerthodd hwy i law eu gelynion oddi amgylch, fel nad oeddent bellach yn medru gwrthsefyll eu gelynion.

¹⁴And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

¹⁵ I ble bynnag yr aent, yr oedd llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn eu herbyn er drwg, fel yr oedd wedi addo a thyngu iddynt. Ac aeth yn gyfyng iawn arnynt.

¹⁵Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

¹⁶ Yna fe gododd yr ARGLWYDD farnwyr a'u hachubodd o law eu hanrheithwyr.

¹⁶Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

¹⁷ Eto nid oeddent yn gwrando hyd yn oed ar eu barnwyr, ond yn hytrach yn puteinio ar �l duwiau estron ac yn ymgrymu iddynt, gan gefnu'n fuan ar y ffordd a gerddodd eu hynafiaid mewn ufudd-dod i orchmynion yr ARGLWYDD; ni wnaent hwy felly.

¹⁷And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

¹⁸ Pan fyddai'r ARGLWYDD yn codi barnwr iddynt, byddai ef gyda'r barnwr ac yn eu gwaredu o law eu gelynion holl ddyddiau y barnwr hwnnw; oherwydd byddai'r ARGLWYDD yn tosturio wrthynt yn eu griddfan o achos eu gormeswyr a'u cystuddwyr.

¹⁸And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

¹⁹ Eto, pan fyddai farw'r barnwr, yn �l yr aent ac ymddwyn yn fwy llygredig na'u hynafiaid, gan fynd ar �l duwiau estron i'w haddoli ac ymgrymu iddynt, heb roi heibio yr un o'u harferion na'u ffyrdd gwrthnysig.

¹⁹And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

²⁰ Cyneuodd llid yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn Israel, a dywedodd, "Am i'r genedl hon droseddu fy nghyfamod a orchmynnais i'w hynafiaid, heb wrando ar fy llais,

²⁰And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

²¹ nid wyf finnau am ddisodli o'u blaen yr un o'r cenhedloedd a adawodd Josua pan fu farw."

²¹I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

²² Gadawyd hwy i brofi'r Israeliaid, i weld a fyddent yn cadw ffordd yr ARGLWYDD ai peidio, ac yn rhodio ynddi fel y gwnaeth eu hynafiaid.

²²That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

²³ Gadawodd yr ARGLWYDD y cenhedloedd hyn heb eu disodli ar unwaith, na'u rhoi yn llaw Josua.

²³Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
