¹ Yn y ddeunawfed flwyddyn i'r Brenin Jeroboam, daeth Abeia yn frenin ar Jwda.

¹In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam -- Abijah reigneth over Judah;

² Teyrnasodd am dair blynedd yn Jerwsalem, a Michaia ferch Uriel o Gibea oedd enw ei fam.

²three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, (and the name of his mother [is] Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah,) and war hath been between Abijah and Jeroboam.

³ Bu rhyfel rhwng Abeia a Jeroboam; aeth Abeia i'r frwydr gyda byddin o filwyr dewr, pedwar can mil o wu375?r dethol, a daeth Jeroboam i'w gyfarfod gydag wyth can mil o wroniaid dethol.

³And Abijah directeth the war with a force of mighty men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam hath set in array with him battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty of valour.

⁴ Safodd Abeia ar Fynydd Semaraim ym mynydd-dir Effraim a dweud, "Gwrandewch arnaf fi, Jeroboam a holl Israel.

⁴And Abijah riseth up on the hill of Zemaraim that [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, and saith, `Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel!

⁵ Oni wyddoch fod ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel wedi rhoi i Ddafydd a'i feibion yr hawl i deyrnasu am byth ar Israel trwy gyfamod halen?

⁵Is it not for you to know that Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given the kingdom to David over Israel to the age, to him and to his sons -- a covenant of salt?

⁶ Ond gwrthryfelodd Jeroboam fab Nebat, gwas Solomon fab Dafydd, yn erbyn ei arglwydd,

⁶and rise up doth Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, and rebelleth against his lord!

⁷ a chasglu ato ddihirod ofer, a fu'n herio Rehoboam fab Solomon, pan oedd yn llanc ifanc ofnus a heb fod yn ddigon cryf i'w gwrthsefyll.

⁷`And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart, and hath not strengthened himself against them.

⁸ Yn awr, yr ydych chwi'n bwriadu gwrthsefyll teyrnas yr ARGLWYDD, sydd wedi ei rhoi i feibion Dafydd, am eich bod yn niferus iawn ac yn berchen ar y lloi aur a wnaeth Jeroboam yn dduwiau i chwi.

⁸`And now, ye are saying to strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David, and ye [are] a numerous multitude, and with you calves of gold that Jeroboam hath made to you for gods.

⁹ Onid ydych wedi diarddel offeiriaid yr ARGLWYDD, meibion Aaron, a'r Lefiaid, ac ethol eich offeiriaid eich hunain, fel y gwna pobl gwledydd eraill? Y mae pwy bynnag sy'n dod i'w gysegru ei hun � bustach ifanc a saith o hyrddod yn mynd yn offeiriad i'r un nad yw'n dduw.

⁹`Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to you priests like the peoples of the lands? every one who hath come to fill his hand with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he hath been a priest to No-gods!

¹⁰ Ond yr ARGLWYDD yw ein Duw ni, ac nid ydym wedi ei wrthod; meibion Aaron yw'r offeiriaid sydd gennym ni yn gwasanaethu'r ARGLWYDD, a'r Lefiaid yn eu cynorthwyo.

¹⁰`As for us, Jehovah [is] our God, and we have not forsaken Him, and priests are ministering to Jehovah, sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work,

¹¹ Y maent yn llosgi poethoffrymau ac arogldarth peraidd i'r ARGLWYDD bob bore a hwyr, ac yn trefnu'r bara gosod ar y bwrdd dihalog a chynnau'r lampau yn y canhwyllbren aur bob prynhawn. Oherwydd yr ydym ni'n dal i wasanaethu'r ARGLWYDD ein Duw; ond yr ydych chwi wedi ei wrthod.

¹¹and are making perfume to Jehovah, burnt-offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and perfume of spices, and the arrangement of bread [is] on the pure table, and the candlestick of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening, for we are keeping the charge of Jehovah our God, and ye -- ye have forsaken Him.

¹² Wele, y mae Duw gyda ni i'n harwain, a'i offeiriaid � thrwmpedau yn galw brwydr yn eich erbyn. Bobl Israel, peidiwch ag ymladd yn erbyn ARGLWYDD Dduw eich hynafiaid, oherwydd ni fyddwch yn llwyddo."

¹²`And lo, with us -- at [our] head -- [is] God, and His priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah, God of your fathers, for ye do not prosper.'

¹³ Anfonodd Jeroboam rai o'u hamgylch i ymguddio ac ymosod arnynt o'r tu �l; felly, tra oedd rhai o flaen Jwda, yr oedd y lleill mewn cuddfan y tu cefn iddynt.

¹³And Jeroboam hath brought round the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is] behind them.

¹⁴ Troes gwu375?r Jwda, a gweld y byddai'n rhaid iddynt ymladd o'r tu blaen ac o'r tu �l;

¹⁴And Judah turneth, and lo, against them [is] the battle, before and behind, and they cry to Jehovah, and the priests are blowing with trumpets,

¹⁵ yna galwasant ar yr ARGLWYDD, ac fe ganodd yr offeiriaid y trwmpedau, a bloeddiodd gwu375?r Jwda. Pan floeddiodd gwu375?r Jwda, trawodd Duw Jeroboam a holl Israel o flaen Abeia a Jwda.

¹⁵and the men of Judah shout -- and it cometh to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that God hath smitten Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah.

¹⁶ Ffodd yr Israeliaid o flaen gwu375?r Jwda, ac fe roddodd Duw hwy yn eu llaw.

¹⁶And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God giveth them into their hand,

¹⁷ Lladdodd Abeia a'i filwyr lawer iawn ohonynt; syrthiodd yn gelain bum can mil o wu375?r dethol Israel.

¹⁷and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

¹⁸ Darostyngwyd yr Israeliaid y pryd hwnnw, a chafodd byddin Jwda fuddugoliaeth am iddynt ymddiried yn ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid.

¹⁸And the sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah are strong, for they have leant on Jehovah, God of their fathers.

¹⁹ Ymlidiodd Abeia ar �l Jeroboam a chymryd oddi arno ddinasoedd Bethel, Jesana ac Effraim a'u pentrefi.

¹⁹And Abijah pursueth after Jeroboam, and captureth from him cities, Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small towns, and Ephraim and its small towns.

²⁰ Ni lwyddodd Jeroboam i adennill ei nerth yn ystod teyrnasiad Abeia; trawyd ef gan yr ARGLWYDD, a bu farw.

²⁰And Jeroboam hath not retained power any more in the days of Abijah, and Jehovah smiteth him, and he dieth.

²¹ Ond cryfhaodd Abeia; priododd bedair ar ddeg o wragedd, a chenhedlu dau fab ar hugain ac un ar bymtheg o ferched.

²¹And Abijah strengtheneth himself, and taketh to him fourteen wives, and begetteth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters,

²² Y mae gweddill hanes Abeia, yr hyn a wnaeth ac a ddywedodd, yn ysgrifenedig yn llyfr y proffwyd Ido.

²²and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the `Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo.
