¹ Pan ddychwelodd Rehoboam i Jerwsalem, galwodd ynghyd dylwythau Jwda a Benjamin, cant a phedwar ugain o filoedd o ryfelwyr dethol, i ryfela yn erbyn Israel i adennill y frenhiniaeth i Rehoboam.

¹And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.

² Ond daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Semeia, gu373?r Duw:

²And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,

³ "Dywed wrth Rehoboam fab Solomon, brenin Jwda, ac wrth holl Israel yn Jwda a Benjamin,

³`Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

⁴ 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Peidiwch � mynd i ryfela yn erbyn eich perthnasau; ewch yn �l adref bob un, gan mai oddi wrthyf fi y daw hyn.'" A gwrandawsant ar eiriau'r ARGLWYDD, a pheidio � mynd yn erbyn Jeroboam.

⁴Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back from going against Jeroboam.

⁵ Arhosodd Rehoboam yn Jerwsalem, ac adeiladu dinasoedd caerog yn Jwda.

⁵And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah,

⁶ Adeiladodd Bethlehem, Etam, Tecoa,

⁶yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa,

⁷ Beth-sur, Socho, Adulam,

⁷and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,

⁸ Gath, Maresa, Siff,

⁸and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

⁹ Adoraim, Lachis, Aseca,

⁹and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

¹⁰ Sora, Ajalon a Hebron, sef dinasoedd caerog Jwda a Benjamin.

¹⁰and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.

¹¹ Cryfhaodd y caerau a rhoi rheolwyr ynddynt, a hefyd st�r o fwyd, olew a gwin.

¹¹And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,

¹² Gwnaeth bob dinas yn amddiffynfa gadarn iawn ac yn lle i gadw tarianau a gwaywffyn. Felly daliodd ei afael ar Jwda a Benjamin.

¹²and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.

¹³ Daeth yr offeiriaid a'r Lefiaid ato o ble bynnag yr oeddent yn byw yn Israel gyfan;

¹³And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,

¹⁴ oherwydd yr oedd y Lefiaid wedi gadael eu cytir a'u tiriogaeth a dod i Jwda a Jerwsalem, am fod Jeroboam a'i feibion wedi eu rhwystro rhag bod yn offeiriaid i'r ARGLWYDD,

¹⁴for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Jehovah,

¹⁵ ac wedi penodi ei offeiriaid ei hun ar gyfer yr uchelfeydd ac ar gyfer y bychod geifr a'r lloi a luniodd.

¹⁵and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made --

¹⁶ A daeth pawb o lwythau Israel, a oedd yn awyddus i geisio ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, ar �l y Lefiaid i Jerwsalem er mwyn aberthu i ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid.

¹⁶and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father.

¹⁷ Felly cryfhasant frenhiniaeth Jwda, a chadarnhau Rehoboam fab Solomon am dair blynedd, gan ddilyn yn llwybrau Dafydd a Solomon trwy'r cyfnod hwn.

¹⁷And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.

¹⁸ Priododd Rehoboam � Mahalath; merch i Jerimoth fab Dafydd ac i Abihail ferch Eliab, fab Jesse oedd hi,

¹⁸And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.

¹⁹ ac fe roes iddo feibion, sef Jeus, Samareia a Saham.

¹⁹And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.

²⁰ Ar ei h�l hi, fe gymerodd Maacha ferch Absalom, a rhoes hithau iddo Abeia, Attai, Sisa a Selomith.

²⁰And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

²¹ Yr oedd Rehoboam yn caru Maacha ferch Absalom yn fwy na'i holl wragedd a'i ordderchwragedd. Yr oedd ganddo ddeunaw o wragedd a thrigain o ordderchwragedd, ac fe genhedlodd wyth ar hugain o feibion a thrigain o ferched.

²¹And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines -- for eighteen wives he hath taken, and sixty concubines -- and he begetteth twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.

²² Gosododd Rehoboam Abeia fab Maacha yn bennaeth ar ei frodyr, er mwyn ei wneud yn frenin.

²²And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign.

²³ Bu'n ddigon doeth i wasgaru ei feibion trwy'r holl ddinasoedd caerog yn nhiriogaeth Jwda a Benjamin. Darparodd yn hael ar eu cyfer a cheisiodd lawer o wragedd iddynt.

²³And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he asketh a multitude of wives.
