¹ Aeth Rehoboam i Sichem, gan mai i Sichem y daethai holl Israel i'w urddo'n frenin.

¹And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for to Shechem hath all Israel come to make him king.

² Pan glywodd Jeroboam fab Nebat, a oedd o hyd yn yr Aifft, lle'r oedd wedi ffoi rhag y Brenin Solomon, arhosodd yn yr Aifft.

²And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat`s hearing (and he [is] yet in Egypt where he hath fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelleth in Egypt),

³ Ond galwasant amdano, a daeth Jeroboam a holl gynulliad Israel a dweud wrth Rehoboam,

³that they send and call for him; and they come — Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel — and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,

⁴ "Trymhaodd dy dad ein hiau; os gwnei di'n awr ysgafnhau peth ar gaethiwed caled dy dad a'r iau drom a osododd arnom, yna fe'th wasanaethwn."

⁴`Thy father made hard our yoke, and thou, now, make light [some] of the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.`

⁵ Dywedodd yntau wrthynt, "Ewch i ffwrdd am dridiau, ac yna dewch yn �l ataf." Aeth y bobl.

⁵And he saith unto them, `Go — yet three days, and come back unto me;` and the people go.

⁶ Ymgynghorodd Rehoboam �'r henuriaid oedd yn llys ei dad Solomon pan oedd yn fyw, a gofynnodd, "Sut y byddech chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn?"

⁶And king Rehoboam consulteth with the elders who have been standing in the presence of Solomon his father, in his being alive, saying, `How are ye counselling to answer this people?`

⁷ Eu hateb oedd, "Os byddi di heddiw yn was i'r bobl hyn, a'u gwasanaethu a'u hateb � geiriau teg, byddant yn weision i ti am byth."

⁷And they speak unto him, saying, `If, to-day, thou art servant to this people, and hast served them, and answered them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all the days.`

⁸ Ond gwrthododd y cyngor a roes yr henuriaid, a cheisiodd gyngor y llanciau oedd yn gyfoed ag ef ac yn aelodau o'i lys.

⁸And he forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up with him, who are standing before him;

⁹ Gofynnodd iddynt hwy, "Beth ydych chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyf, 'Ysgafnha rywfaint ar yr iau a osododd dy dad arnom'? "

⁹and he saith unto them, `What are ye counselling, and we answer this people, who have spoken unto me, saying, Lighten [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?`

¹⁰ Atebodd y llanciau oedd yn gyfoed ag ef, "Fel hyn y dywedi wrth y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyt: 'Gwnaeth dy dad ein hiau yn drwm; ysgafnha dithau arnom.' Ie, dyma a ddywedi wrthynt: 'Y mae fy mys bach i yn braffach na llwynau fy nhad!

¹⁰And they speak unto him — the lads who had grown up with him — saying, `Thus dost thou say to this people who have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make [it] light upon us; thus dost thou speak unto them, My little [finger] is thicker than the loins of my father;

¹¹ Mae'n wir i'm tad osod iau drom arnoch, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach. Cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!'"

¹¹and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — I chastise you with scorpions.`

¹² Pan ddaeth Jeroboam a'r holl bobl at Rehoboam ar y trydydd dydd, yn �l gorchymyn y brenin, "Dewch yn �l ataf ymhen tridiau",

¹²And they come — Jeroboam and all the people — unto Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, `Come back unto me on the third day.`

¹³ atebodd y brenin hwy'n chwyrn. Diystyrodd gyngor yr henuriaid, a derbyn cyngor y llanciau.

¹³And the king answereth the people sharply, and forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him,

¹⁴ Dywedodd wrthynt, "Trymhaodd fy nhad eich iau, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach; cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!"

¹⁴and speaketh unto them, according to the counsel of the lads, saying, `My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — I chastise you with scorpions;`

¹⁵ Felly ni wrandawodd y brenin ar y bobl, oherwydd fel hyn y tynghedwyd gan yr ARGLWYDD, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD gyflawni'r gair a lefarodd drwy Aheia o Seilo wrth Jeroboam fab Nebat.

¹⁵and the king hearkened not unto the people, for the revolution was from Jehovah, in order to establish His word that Jehovah spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.

¹⁶ A phan welodd holl Israel nad oedd y brenin am wrando arnynt, daeth ateb oddi wrth y bobl at y brenin: "Pa ran sydd i ni yn Nafydd? Nid oes cyfran inni ym mab Jesse. Adref i'th bebyll, Israel! Edrych at dy du375? dy hun, Ddafydd!" Yna aeth Israel adref.

¹⁶And all Israel see that the king hath not hearkened unto them, and the people send the king back word, saying, `What portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; to thy tents, O Israel; now see thy house, O David!` and Israel goeth to its tents.

¹⁷ Ond yr oedd rhai Israeliaid yn byw yn nhrefi Jwda, a Rehoboam yn frenin arnynt.

¹⁷As to the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah — over them reign doth Rehoboam.

¹⁸ Pan anfonodd y brenin atynt Adoram, goruchwyliwr y llafur gorfod, llabyddiodd yr Israeliaid ef a'i ladd; ond llwyddodd y Brenin Rehoboam i gyrraedd ei gerbyd a ffoi i Jerwsalem.

¹⁸And king Rehoboam sendeth Adoram who [is] over the tribute, and all Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;

¹⁹ Ac y mae Israel mewn gwrthryfel yn erbyn llinach Dafydd hyd heddiw.

¹⁹and Israel transgresseth against the house of David unto this day.

²⁰ Wedi i Israel gyfan glywed fod Jeroboam wedi dychwelyd, anfonasant i'w wahodd i'r gymanfa, a'i urddo'n frenin dros Israel gyfan. Nid oedd ond llwyth Jwda'n unig yn glynu wrth linach Dafydd.

²⁰And it cometh to pass, at all Israel`s hearing that Jeroboam hath returned, that they send and call him unto the company, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none hath been after the house of David save the tribe of Judah alone.

²¹ Pan ddychwelodd Rehoboam i Jerwsalem, galwodd ynghyd holl dylwyth Jwda a llwyth Benjamin, cant a phedwar ugain o filoedd o ryfelwyr dethol, i ryfela yn erbyn Israel i adennill y frenhiniaeth i Rehoboam fab Solomon.

²¹And Rehoboam cometh to Jerusalem, and assembleth all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.

²² Ond daeth gair Duw at Semaia, gu373?r Duw:

²²And the word of God is unto Shemaiah a man of God, saying,

²³ "Dywed wrth Rehoboam fab Solomon, brenin Jwda, ac wrth holl bobl Jwda a Benjamin a phawb arall,

²³`Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying,

²⁴ 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Peidiwch � mynd i ryfela yn erbyn eich brodyr yr Israeliaid; ewch yn �l adref bob un, gan mai oddi wrthyf fi y daw hyn.'" A gwrandawsant ar air yr ARGLWYDD, a dychwelyd adref yn �l gair yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁴Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren the sons of Israel; turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;` and they hear the word of Jehovah, and turn back to go according to the word of Jehovah.

²⁵ Adeiladodd Jeroboam Sichem ym mynydd-dir Effraim i fyw yno, ond wedyn gadawodd y fan ac adeiladu Penuel.

²⁵And Jeroboam buildeth Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelleth in it, and goeth out thence, and buildeth Penuel;

²⁶ Meddyliodd Jeroboam, "Yn awr, efallai y dychwel y frenhiniaeth at linach Dafydd.

²⁶and Jeroboam saith in his heart, `Now doth the kingdom turn back to the house of David —

²⁷ Os �'r bobl hyn i offrymu yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD yn Jerwsalem, yna fe fydd calon y bobl hyn yn troi'n �l at eu meistr, Rehoboam brenin Jwda; fe'm lladdant i a dychwelyd at Rehoboam brenin Jwda."

²⁷if this people go up to make sacrifices in the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, then hath the heart of this people turned back unto their lord, unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back unto Rehoboam king of Judah.`

²⁸ Felly cymerodd y brenin gyngor a gwneud dau lo aur, a dweud wrth y bobl, "Y mae'n ormod i chwi fynd i fyny i Jerwsalem; dyma dy dduwiau, Israel, y rhai a ddaeth � chwi i fyny o'r Aifft."

²⁸And the king taketh counsel, and maketh two calves of gold, and saith unto them, `Enough to you of going up to Jerusalem; lo, thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.`

²⁹ Gosodwyd un eilun i fyny ym Methel, a rhoi'r llall yn Dan.

²⁹And he setteth the one in Beth-El, and the other he hath put in Dan,

³⁰ Ond bu hyn yn achos pechu, oherwydd yr oedd y bobl yn mynd i addoli'r naill i Fethel a'r llall i Dan.

³⁰and this thing becometh a sin, and the people go before the one — unto Dan.

³¹ Wedi iddo godi uchelfeydd, urddodd offeiriaid o blith y bobl i gyd, heb iddynt fod yn Lefiaid.

³¹And he maketh the house of high places, and maketh priests of the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;

³² Sefydlodd Jeroboam u373?yl o bererindod ar y pymthegfed dydd o'r wythfed mis, fel yr u373?yl o bererindod oedd yn Jwda; ac yr oedd yntau yn offrymu ar yr allor. Dyna sut y gwn�i ym Methel, ac aberthu i'r lloi a luniodd; hefyd fe osododd ym Methel offeiriaid yr uchelfeydd a godwyd ganddo.

³²and Jeroboam maketh a festival in the eighth month, in the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that [is] in Judah, and he offereth on the altar — so did he in Beth-El — to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he hath appointed in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made.

³³ Fe offrymodd ar yr allor a wnaeth ym Methel ar y pymthegfed dydd o'r wythfed mis. Dyfeisiodd ddyddiad iddo'i hun, lluniodd u373?yl o bererindod i'r Israeliaid ac aeth ef ei hun at yr allor i offrymu.

³³And he offereth up on the altar that he made in Beth-El, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he devised of his own heart, and he maketh a festival to the sons of Israel, and offereth on the altar — to make perfume.
