¹ Wedi i arch yr ARGLWYDD fod yn Philistia saith mis,

¹And the ark of Jehovah is in the field of the Philistines seven months,

² galwodd y Philistiaid ar yr offeiriaid a'r dewiniaid a gofyn, "Beth a wnawn ni ag arch yr ARGLWYDD? Dywedwch wrthym sut yr anfonwn hi'n �l i'w lle."

²and the Philistines call for priests and for diviners, saying, `What do we do to the ark of Jehovah? let us know wherewith we send it to its place?`

³ Atebasant, "Os ydych yn anfon arch Duw Israel yn �l, peidiwch �'i hanfon heb rodd, gofalwch anfon gyda hi offrwm dros gamwedd; yna cewch eich iach�u a darganfod pam na symudwyd ei law oddi arnoch."

³And they say, `If ye are sending away the ark of the God of Israel, ye do not send it away empty; for ye do certainly send back to Him a guilt-offering; then ye are healed, and it hath been known to you why His hand doth not turn aside from you.`

⁴ Pan ofynnwyd pa offrwm dros gamwedd a roddent iddo, dywedasant, "Pum cornwyd aur a phum llygoden aur, yn �l nifer arglwyddi'r Philistiaid, oherwydd yr un pla a fu ar bawb ohonoch chwi a'ch arglwyddi.

⁴And they say, `What [is] the guilt-offering which we send back to Him?` and they say, `The number of the princes of the Philistines — five golden emerods, and five golden mice — for one plague [is] to you all, and to your princes,

⁵ Gwnewch fodelau o'ch cornwydydd, a'r llygod sy'n difa'r wlad, a rhowch ogoniant i Dduw Israel; efallai y bydd yn ysgafnhau ei law oddi arnoch chwi a'ch duw a'ch gwlad.

⁵and ye have made images of your emerods, and images of your mice that are corrupting the land, and have given honour to the God of Israel; it may be He doth lighten His hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land;

⁶ Pa les ystyfnigo fel y gwnaeth Pharo a'r Aifft? Wedi iddo ef eu trin fel y mynnai, oni fu raid iddynt ollwng Israel ymaith?

⁶and why do ye harden your heart as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? do they not — when He hath rolled Himself upon them — send them away, and they go?

⁷ Yn awr, paratowch fen newydd a chymryd dwy fuwch flith heb fod dan iau; rhwymwch y buchod wrth y fen a chadw eu lloi i mewn rhag iddynt eu dilyn.

⁷`And now, take and make one new cart, and two suckling kine, on which a yoke hath not gone up, and ye have bound the kine in the cart, and caused their young ones to turn back from after them to the house,

⁸ Yna cymerwch arch yr ARGLWYDD a'i rhoi ar y fen, ac mewn cist wrth ei hochr rhowch y pethau aur yr ydych yn eu hanfon iddo yn offrwm dros gamwedd; a gadewch i'r arch fynd.

⁸and ye have taken the ark of Jehovah, and put it on the cart, and the vessels of gold which ye have returned to Him — a guilt-offering — ye put in a coffer on its side, and have sent it away, and it hath gone;

⁹ Yna cewch weld; os � i fyny am Beth-semes i gyfeiriad ei chynefin, ef sydd wedi achosi'r drwg mawr hwn i ni; ond os nad �, byddwn yn gwybod nad ei law ef a'n trawodd, ond mai cyd-ddigwyddiad oedd hyn."

⁹and ye have seen, if the way of its own border it goeth up to Beth-Shemesh — He hath done to us this great evil; and if not, then we have known that His hand hath not come against us; an accident it hath been to us.`

¹⁰ Dyna a wnaeth y dynion, cymryd dwy fuwch fagu a'u rhwymo wrth fen a chadw eu lloi mewn cwt.

¹⁰And the men do so, and take two suckling kine, and bind them in the cart, and their young ones they have shut up in the house;

¹¹ Rhoesant arch yr ARGLWYDD ar y fen, gyda'r gist a'r llygod aur a'r modelau o'u cornwydydd.

¹¹and they place the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer, and the golden mice, and the images of their emerods.

¹² Cerddodd y buchod ar eu hunion ar y ffordd i gyfeiriad Beth-semes, gan frefu wrth fynd, ond yn cadw i'r un briffordd heb wyro i'r dde na'r chwith; a cherddodd arglwyddi'r Philistiaid ar eu h�l hyd at derfyn Beth-semes.

¹²And the kine go straight in the way, on the way to Beth-Shemesh, in one highway they have gone, going and lowing, and have not turned aside right or left; and the princes of the Philistines are going after them unto the border of Beth-Shemesh.

¹³ Yr oedd pobl Beth-semes yn medi eu cynhaeaf gwenith yn y dyffryn, a phan godasant eu llygaid a gweld yr arch, yr oeddent yn llawen o'i gweld.

¹³And the Beth-Shemeshites are reaping their wheat-harvest in the valley, and they lift up their eyes, and see the ark, and rejoice to see [it].

¹⁴ Daeth y fen i faes Josua, gu373?r o Beth-semes, a sefyll yno yn ymyl carreg fawr, ac wedi iddynt ddarnio coed y fen, offrymasant y buchod yn boethoffrwm i'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁴And the cart hath come in unto the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite, and standeth there, and there [is] a great stone, and they cleave the wood of the cart, and the kine they have caused to ascend — a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

¹⁵ Yna tynnodd y Lefiaid i lawr arch yr ARGLWYDD, a'r gist oedd gyda hi yn cynnwys y pethau aur, a'u rhoi ar y garreg fawr; a'r dydd hwnnw offrymodd gwu375?r Beth-semes boethoffrymau ac ebyrth i'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁵And the Levites have taken down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer which [is] with it, in which [are] the vessels of gold, and place [them] on the great stone; and the men of Beth-Shemesh have caused to ascend burnt-offerings and sacrifice sacrifices in that day to Jehovah;

¹⁶ Ac wedi i bum arglwydd y Philistiaid weld, aethant yn �l i Ecron yr un diwrnod.

¹⁶and the five princes of the Philistines have seen [it], and turn back [to] Ekron, on that day.

¹⁷ Dyma restr y cornwydydd aur a anfonodd y Philistiaid i'r ARGLWYDD yn offrwm dros gamwedd: un dros Asdod, un dros Gasa, un dros Ascalon, un dros Gath ac un dros Ecron.

¹⁷And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines have sent back — a guilt-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;

¹⁸ Hefyd llygod aur yn �l nifer holl ddinasoedd y Philistiaid a oedd dan y pum arglwydd, yn ddinas gaerog neu'n bentref agored. Saif y garreg fawr y gosodwyd arni arch yr ARGLWYDD yn dyst hyd y dydd hwn ym maes Josua o Beth-semes.

¹⁸and the golden mice — the number of all the cities of the Philistines — for the five princes, from the fenced city even unto the hamlet of the villages, even unto the great meadow on which they placed the ark of Jehovah — [are] unto this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite.

¹⁹ Trawyd rhai o wu375?r Beth-semes am iddynt edrych i mewn i arch yr ARGLWYDD. Trawyd deg a thrigain ohonynt, a galarodd y bobl oherwydd bod yr ARGLWYDD wedi gwneud lladdfa mor fawr yn eu plith.

¹⁹And He smiteth among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they looked into the ark of Jehovah, yea, He smiteth among the people seventy men — fifty chief men; and the people mourn, because Jehovah smote among the people — a great smiting.

²⁰ A dywedodd gwu375?r Beth-semes, "Pwy a fedr sefyll o flaen yr ARGLWYDD, y Duw sanctaidd hwn? At bwy yr � oddi wrthym ni?"

²⁰And the men of Beth-Shemesh say, `Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and unto whom doth He go up from us?`

²¹ Anfonasant negeswyr at drigolion Ciriath-jearim a dweud, "Anfonodd y Philistiaid arch yr ARGLWYDD yn �l, dewch i lawr i'w chyrchu."

²¹And they send messengers unto the inhabitants of Kirjath-Jearim, saying, `The Philistines have sent back the ark of Jehovah; come down, take it up unto you.`
