¹ Aeth yr Israeliaid ymlaen, a gwersyllu yn Jericho yng ngwastadedd Moab, y tu draw i'r Iorddonen.

¹And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

² Yr oedd Balac fab Sippor wedi gweld y cyfan a wnaeth Israel i'r Amoriaid,

²And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

³ a daeth ofn mawr ar Moab am fod yr Israeliaid mor niferus. Yr oedd y Moabiaid yn arswydo rhagddynt,

³And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

⁴ a dywedasant wrth henuriaid Midian, "Bydd y cynulliad hwn yn awr yn llyncu popeth o'n cwmpas, fel y mae'r ych yn llyncu glaswellt y maes." Yr oedd Balac fab Sippor yn frenin Moab ar y pryd,

⁴And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

⁵ ac anfonodd ef genhadau at Balaam fab Beor yn Pethor, sydd yng ngwlad Amaw ac ar lan yr Ewffrates, a dweud, "Edrych, daeth pobl allan o'r Aifft, a chartrefu ar hyd a lled y wlad, ac y maent bellach gyferbyn � mi.

⁵He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:

⁶ Tyrd, yn awr, a melltithia'r bobl hyn imi, oherwydd y maent yn gryfach na mi; yna, hwyrach y gallaf eu gorchfygu a'u gyrru allan o'r wlad, oherwydd gwn y daw bendith i'r sawl yr wyt ti'n ei fendithio, a melltith i'r sawl yr wyt ti'n ei felltithio."

⁶Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

⁷ Felly aeth henuriaid Moab a Midian at Balaam, gyda'r t�l am ddewino yn eu llaw, a rhoi iddo'r neges oddi wrth Balac.

⁷And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.

⁸ Dywedodd Balaam wrthynt, "Arhoswch yma heno; dychwelaf � gair atoch, yn �l fel y bydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi llefaru wrthyf." Felly arhosodd tywysogion Moab gyda Balaam. Yna daeth Duw at Balaam, a gofyn,

⁸And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

⁹ "Pwy yw'r dynion hyn sydd gyda thi?"

⁹And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

¹⁰ Atebodd Balaam ef, "Anfonodd Balac fab Sippor, brenin Moab, neges ataf yn dweud,

¹⁰And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

¹¹ 'Edrych, daeth pobl allan o'r Aifft, a chartrefu ar hyd a lled y wlad; tyrd, yn awr, a melltithia hwy imi; yna hwyrach y gallaf eu gorchfygu a'u gyrru allan.'"

¹¹Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

¹² Dywedodd Duw wrth Balaam, "Paid � mynd gyda hwy, na melltithio'r bobl, oherwydd y maent wedi eu bendithio."

¹²And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

¹³ Felly cododd Balaam drannoeth, a dweud wrth dywysogion Balac, "Ewch yn �l i'ch gwlad, oherwydd gwrthododd yr ARGLWYDD i mi ddod gyda chwi."

¹³And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.

¹⁴ Yna cododd tywysogion Moab a mynd at Balac a dweud, "Y mae Balaam yn gwrthod dod gyda ni."

¹⁴And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

¹⁵ Anfonodd Balac dywysogion eilwaith, ac yr oedd y rhain yn fwy niferus ac anrhydeddus na'r lleill.

¹⁵And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.

¹⁶ Daethant at Balaam a dweud wrtho, "Dyma a ddywed Balac fab Sippor, 'Paid � gadael i ddim dy rwystro rhag dod ataf;

¹⁶And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:

¹⁷ fe ddeliaf yn gwbl anrhydeddus � thi, ac fe wnaf y cyfan a ddywedi wrthyf; felly tyrd, a melltithia'r bobl hyn imi.'"

¹⁷For I will promote thee unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

¹⁸ Ond dywedodd Balaam wrth weision Balac, "Pe bai Balac yn rhoi imi lond ei du375? o arian ac aur, ni allaf wneud yn groes i'r hyn y bydd yr ARGLWYDD fy Nuw yn ei orchymyn.

¹⁸And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

¹⁹ Yn awr, arhoswch yma heno, er mwyn imi wybod beth arall a ddywed yr ARGLWYDD wrthyf."

¹⁹Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.

²⁰ Daeth Duw at Balaam liw nos, a dweud wrtho, "Os yw'r dynion wedi dod i'th gyrchu, yna dos gyda hwy; ond paid � gwneud dim heblaw'r hyn a orchmynnaf iti."

²⁰And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.

²¹ Cododd Balaam drannoeth, ac ar �l cyfrwyo ei asen, aeth gyda thywysogion Moab.

²¹And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

²² Ond digiodd Duw wrtho am fynd, a safodd angel yr ARGLWYDD ar y ffordd i'w rwystro. Fel yr oedd yn marchogaeth ar ei asen, a'i ddau was gydag ef,

²²And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

²³ fe welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD yn sefyll ar y ffordd, a chleddyf yn barod yn ei law; felly trodd yr asen oddi ar y ffordd, ac aeth i mewn i gae. Yna trawodd Balaam hi er mwyn ei throi yn �l i'r ffordd.

²³And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

²⁴ Safodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wedyn ar lwybr yn arwain trwy'r gwinllannoedd, a wal o boptu iddo.

²⁴But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

²⁵ Pan welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD, gwthiodd yn erbyn y wal, gan wasgu troed Balaam rhyngddi a'r wal.

²⁵And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.

²⁶ Felly trawodd Balaam yr asen eilwaith. Yna aeth angel yr ARGLWYDD ymlaen a sefyll mewn lle mor gyfyng fel nad oedd modd troi i'r dde na'r chwith.

²⁶And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

²⁷ Pan welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD, gorweddodd dan Balaam; ond gwylltiodd yntau, a tharo'r asen �'i ffon.

²⁷And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

²⁸ Yna agorodd yr ARGLWYDD enau'r asen, a pheri iddi ddweud wrth Balaam, "Beth a wneuthum iti, dy fod wedi fy nharo deirgwaith?"

²⁸And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

²⁹ Atebodd Balaam hi, "Fe wnaethost ffu373?l ohonof. Pe bai gennyf gleddyf yn fy llaw, byddwn yn dy ladd."

²⁹And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.

³⁰ Yna gofynnodd yr asen i Balaam, "Onid myfi yw'r asen yr wyt wedi ei marchogaeth trwy gydol dy oes hyd heddiw? A wneuthum y fath beth � thi erioed o'r blaen?" Atebodd yntau, "Naddo."

³⁰And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.

³¹ Yna agorodd yr ARGLWYDD lygaid Balaam, a phan welodd ef angel yr ARGLWYDD yn sefyll ar y ffordd, a'i gleddyf yn barod yn ei law, plygodd ei ben ac ymgrymu ar ei wyneb.

³¹Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

³² Dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Pam y trewaist dy asen y teirgwaith hyn? Fe ddeuthum i'th rwystro am dy fod yn rhuthro i fynd o'm blaen,

³²And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

³³ ond gwelodd dy asen fi, a throi oddi wrthyf deirgwaith. Pe na bai wedi troi oddi wrthyf, buaswn wedi dy ladd di ac arbed dy asen."

³³And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.

³⁴ Dywedodd Balaam wrth angel yr ARGLWYDD, "Yr wyf wedi pechu; ni wyddwn dy fod yn sefyll ar y ffordd i'm rhwystro. Yn awr, os yw'r hyn a wneuthum yn ddrwg yn dy olwg, fe ddychwelaf adref."

³⁴And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.

³⁵ Ond dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrth Balaam, "Dos gyda'r dynion; ond paid � dweud dim heblaw'r hyn a orchmynnaf iti." Felly aeth Balaam yn ei flaen gyda thywysogion Balac.

³⁵And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

³⁶ Pan glywodd Balac fod Balaam yn dod, aeth allan i'w gyfarfod yn Ar yn Moab, ar y ffin bellaf ger afon Arnon.

³⁶And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.

³⁷ Dywedodd Balac wrtho, "Onid anfonais neges atat i'th alw? Pam na ddaethost ataf? Oni allaf ddelio'n anrhydeddus � thi?"

³⁷And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?

³⁸ Atebodd Balaam ef, "Dyma fi wedi dod atat! Yn awr, a yw'r gallu gennyf i lefaru unrhyw beth ohonof fy hun? Ni allaf lefaru ond y gair a roddodd Duw yn fy ngenau."

³⁸And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

³⁹ Felly aeth Balaam gyda Balac, a chyrraedd Ciriath-husoth.

³⁹And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.

⁴⁰ Yna aberthodd Balac wartheg a defaid, a'u hanfon at Balaam a'r tywysogion oedd gydag ef.

⁴⁰And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.

⁴¹ Trannoeth aeth Balac i gyrchu Balaam i fyny i Bamoth-baal, ac oddi yno fe ganfu fod y bobl yn cyrraedd cyn belled ag y gwelai.

⁴¹And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
