¹ Daeth Israel gyfan allan fel un, o Dan hyd Beerseba a thir Gilead, a galw cynulleidfa Israel at yr ARGLWYDD i Mispa.

¹Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.

² Ymgasglodd arweinwyr byddin holl lwythau Israel yn gynulliad o bobl yr ARGLWYDD, pedwar can mil o wu375?r traed yn dwyn cleddyf.

²And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.

³ Clywodd y Benjaminiaid fod yr Israeliaid wedi mynd i fyny i Mispa. Gofynnodd yr Israeliaid, "Dywedwch sut y dig-wyddodd y fath gamwri."

³(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?

⁴ Atebodd y Lefiad, sef gu373?r y ddynes a lofruddiwyd, "Yr oeddwn i a'm gordderch wedi mynd i Gibea Benjamin i letya;

⁴And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

⁵ yna cododd dinasyddion Gibea yn f'erbyn ac amgylchynu'r tu375? liw nos, gan fwriadu fy lladd; treisiwyd fy ngordderch, a bu hi farw o'r herwydd.

⁵And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.

⁶ Cymerais innau hi a'i thorri'n ddarnau a'u hanfon drwy bob rhan o diriogaeth Israel, oherwydd y mae'r treiswyr hyn wedi gwneud anlladrwydd ffiaidd yn Israel.

⁶And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

⁷ Chwi oll, bobl Israel, mynegwch eich barn a'ch cyngor yma'n awr."

⁷Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.

⁸ Cododd yr holl bobl fel un gu373?r a dweud, "Ni ddychwel neb ohonom i'w babell na mynd yn �l adref.

⁸And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.

⁹ Dyma'r hyn a wnawn i Gibea: awn yn ei herbyn trwy fwrw coelbren;

⁹But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;

¹⁰ a dewiswn ddeg dyn o bob cant, cant o bob mil, a mil o bob myrddiwn trwy holl lwythau Israel, i gasglu lluniaeth i'r fyddin fydd yn mynd yn erbyn Gibea Benjamin o achos yr holl anlladrwydd a wnaethant yn Israel."

¹⁰And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.

¹¹ Felly daeth yr holl Israeliaid at ei gilydd fel un yn erbyn y dref.

¹¹So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

¹² Anfonodd llwythau Israel ddynion drwy holl lwyth Benjamin gan ddweud, "Pa gamwri yw hwn a ddigwyddodd yn eich mysg?

¹²And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?

¹³ Ildiwch y dihirod hyn sydd yn Gibea, inni eu rhoi i farwolaeth, a dileu'r drwg o Israel." Ond ni fynnai'r Benjaminiaid wrando ar eu perthnasau yr Israeliaid.

¹³Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.

¹⁴ Ymgasglodd y Ben-jaminiaid o'u trefi i Gibea er mwyn mynd i ryfel yn erbyn yr Israeliaid.

¹⁴But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.

¹⁵ Ar y dydd hwnnw rhestrwyd o drefi'r Benjaminiaid chwe mil ar hugain o ddynion yn dwyn cleddyf, ar wah�n i drigolion Gibea, a oedd yn rhestru saith gant o wu375?r dethol.

¹⁵And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.

¹⁶ Yn yr holl fyddin hon yr oedd pob un o'r saith gant o wu375?r dethol yn llawchwith, ac yn medru anelu carreg i drwch y blewyn heb fethu.

¹⁶Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.

¹⁷ Yr oedd gwu375?r Israel, ar wah�n i Benjamin, yn rhestru pedwar can mil o ddynion yn dwyn cleddyf, pob un yn rhyfelwr.

¹⁷And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.

¹⁸ Aeth yr Israeliaid yn eu blaen i Fethel, a gofyn i Dduw, "Pwy ohonom sydd i arwain yn y frwydr yn erbyn y Benjaminiaid?" Atebodd yr ARGLWYDD, "Jwda sydd i arwain."

¹⁸And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.

¹⁹ Cychwynnodd yr Israeliaid ben bore a gwersyllu gyferbyn � Gibea.

¹⁹And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.

²⁰ Aeth yr Israeliaid i ymosod ar y Benjaminiaid, a gosod eu rhengoedd ar gyfer brwydr o flaen Gibea.

²⁰And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.

²¹ Ond ymosododd y Ben-jaminiaid allan o Gibea, a gadael dwy fil ar hugain o blith byddin Israel yn farw ar y maes y diwrnod hwnnw.

²¹And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.

²² Cyn i fyddin pobl Israel atgyfnerthu ac ailymgynnull i ryfel yn yr un fan �'r diwrnod cynt,

²²And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

²³ aeth yr Israeliaid i fyny i Fethel ac wylo gerbron yr ARGLWYDD hyd yr hwyr, a gofyn i'r ARGLWYDD, "A awn ni eto i ymladd �'n brodyr y Benjaminiaid?" Atebodd yr ARGLWYDD, "Ewch!"

²³(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)

²⁴ Felly fe aeth yr Israeliaid i ryfela �'r Benjaminiaid yr ail ddiwrnod.

²⁴And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.

²⁵ Gwnaeth y Benjaminiaid gyrch arnynt eilwaith o Gibea, a'r tro hwn gadael deunaw mil o blith byddin Israel yn farw ar y maes, a'r rheini bob un yn dwyn cleddyf.

²⁵And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

²⁶ Felly fe aeth yr Israeliaid i gyd, a'r holl fyddin, i fyny i Fethel, ac wylo ac eistedd yno gerbron yr ARGLWYDD gan ymprydio drwy'r dydd hyd yr hwyr, ac offrymu poethoffrymau a heddoffrymau gerbron yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁶Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

²⁷ Yr adeg honno, ym Methel yr oedd arch cyfamod Duw,

²⁷And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

²⁸ a Phinees fab Eleasar, fab Aaron oedd yn gofalu amdani ar y pryd. Pan ofynnodd yr Israeliaid i'r ARGLWYDD, "A awn ni allan i ymladd eto �'n perthnasau y Ben-jaminiaid, ai peidio?" atebodd yr ARGLWYDD, "Ewch, oherwydd yfory fe'u rhoddaf hwy yn eich llaw."

²⁸And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.

²⁹ Gosododd Israel filwyr cudd o amgylch Gibea,

²⁹And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

³⁰ cyn mynd i fyny'r trydydd dydd yn erbyn y Benjaminiaid ac ymgynnull yn eu rhengoedd o flaen Gibea fel cynt.

³⁰And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

³¹ Gwnaeth y Benjamin-iaid gyrch yn erbyn y fyddin, a denwyd hwy oddi wrth y dref; dechreusant wneud lladdfa ymysg y fyddin fel cynt, ac archolli tua deg ar hugain o'r Israeliaid yn y tir agored ger y priffyrdd i Fethel ac i Gibea.

³¹And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

³² Yr oedd y Benjaminiaid yn dweud, "Yr ydym yn eu trechu fel o'r blaen"; a'r Israeliaid yn dweud, "Fe giliwn er mwyn eu denu o'r dref i'r priffyrdd."

³²And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.

³³ Yna safodd yr Israeliaid a ffurfio'u rhengoedd ger Baal-tamar, a dyma'r Israeliaid oedd wedi ymguddio yn rhuthro o'u cuddfeydd i'r gorllewin o Gibea.

³³And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.

³⁴ Daeth deng mil o filwyr dethol o Israel gyfan yn erbyn y Gibeaid o'r dwyrain; ond am fod brwydr chwyrn ar y pryd, ni wyddai'r Benjaminiaid fod trychineb yn dod arnynt.

³⁴And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.

³⁵ Trawodd yr ARGLWYDD wu375?r Benjamin o flaen yr Israeliaid, a'r diwrnod hwnnw lladdodd yr Israeliaid o blith Benjamin bum mil ar hugain ac un cant o wu375?r yn dwyn cleddyf.

³⁵And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.

³⁶ Gwelodd y Benjaminiaid eu bod wedi colli'r dydd. Yr oedd byddin Israel wedi ildio tir i'r Benjaminiaid am eu bod yn ymddiried yn y milwyr cudd a osodwyd ger Gibea.

³⁶So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

³⁷ Brysiodd y milwyr cudd i ruthro ar Gibea, gan adael eu cuddfannau a tharo'r holl dref �'r cleddyf.

³⁷And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

³⁸ Yr arwydd i fyddin Israel oddi wrth y rhai ynghudd fyddai colofn o fwg yn mynd i fyny o'r dref;

³⁸Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.

³⁹ yna byddai byddin Israel yn troi yn y frwydr. Ar y dechrau yr oedd y Benjaminiaid wedi anafu tua deg ar hugain o fyddin Israel, a meddwl yn sicr eu bod yn eu concro fel yn y frwydr flaenorol.

³⁹And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.

⁴⁰ Ond pan ddechreuodd y golofn fwg esgyn o'r dref i'r awyr, trodd y Benjaminiaid a gweld y dref gyfan yn wenfflam.

⁴⁰But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

⁴¹ Pan drodd byddin Israel arnynt, brawychwyd y Benjaminiaid o sylweddoli bod trychineb wedi eu goddiweddyd.

⁴¹And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.

⁴² Troesant i ffwrdd o flaen byddin Israel i gyfeiriad yr anialwch, ond parhaodd yr ymladd; ac yr oedd yr Israeliaid, a oedd wedi dod i'r dref, bellach yn eu mysg yn eu difa.

⁴²Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.

⁴³ Buont yn erlid y Benjaminiaid o bob tu yn ddiatal, a'u goddiweddyd i'r dwyrain o Gibea.

⁴³Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

⁴⁴ Syrthiodd deunaw mil o wu375?r Benjamin, y cwbl ohonynt yn rhyfelwyr dewr.

⁴⁴And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.

⁴⁵ Trodd y gweddill a ffoi tua'r anialwch i graig Rimmon, a daliodd yr Israeliaid bum mil ohonynt ar y priffyrdd; yna buont yn ymlid yn galed ar �l y Benjaminiaid hyd at Gidom, a lladd dwy fil ohonynt.

⁴⁵And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.

⁴⁶ Cyfanswm y rhai o Benjamin a syrthiodd y diwrnod hwnnw oedd pum mil ar hugain o wu375?r yn dwyn cleddyf, a'r cwbl ohonynt yn rhyfelwyr dewr.

⁴⁶So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor.

⁴⁷ o'r rhai a drodd a ffoi tua'r anialwch i graig Rimmon, cyrhaeddodd chwe chant o wu375?r, a buont yn byw yng nghraig Rimmon am bedwar mis.

⁴⁷But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.

⁴⁸ Wedi i fyddin Israel droi yn ei h�l yn erbyn y Benjaminiaid, lladdasant �'r cleddyf bawb yn y dref, gan gynnwys anifeiliaid, a llosgi hefyd bob tref a ddaeth i'w meddiant.

⁴⁸And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
