¹ Pan fu farw Abeia, a'i gladdu yn Ninas Dafydd, daeth ei fab Asa yn frenin yn ei le. Yn ystod ei deyrnasiad ef cafodd y wlad lonydd am ddeng mlynedd.

¹And Abijah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead: in his days was the land quiet ten years.

² Gwnaeth Asa yr hyn oedd dda ac uniawn yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw.

²And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,

³ Symudodd ymaith allorau'r duwiau dieithr a'r uchelfeydd, a dryllio'r colofnau a chwalu delwau Asera.

³and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,

⁴ Anogodd Jwda i geisio ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid a chadw'r gyfraith a'r gorchmynion,

⁴and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;

⁵ ac fe symudodd ymaith o holl ddinasoedd Jwda yr uchelfeydd a'r allorau. Cafodd y deyrnas lonydd yn ei oes ef.

⁵and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.

⁶ Adeiladodd ddinasoedd caerog yn Jwda tra oedd y wlad yn cael llonydd, ac ni fu rhyfel yn ei erbyn yn ystod y blynyddoedd hynny am fod yr ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi heddwch iddo.

⁶And he buildeth cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land hath quiet, and there is no war with him in these years, because Jehovah hath given rest to him.

⁷ Dywedodd wrth Jwda, "Gadewch i ni adeiladu'r dinasoedd hyn a'u hamgylchu � muriau gyda thyrau, a dorau a barrau. Y mae'r wlad yn dal yn agored o'n blaen am i ni geisio'r ARGLWYDD ein Duw. Yr ydym ni wedi ei geisio ef, ac y mae yntau wedi rhoi heddwch i ni oddi amgylch." Felly, adeiladodd y bobl a llwyddo.

⁷And he saith to Judah, `Let us build these cities, and compass [them] with wall, and towers, two-leaved doors, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God, we have sought, and He giveth rest to us round about;' and they build and prosper.

⁸ Yr oedd gan Asa fyddin o dri chan mil o wu375?r Jwda yn dwyn tarian a gwaywffon, a dau gant a phedwar ugain mil o wu375?r Benjamin yn dwyn tarian a thynnu bwa; yr oeddent oll yn wroniaid.

⁸And there is to Asa a force bearing target and spear, out of Judah three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, bearing shield and treading bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these [are] mighty of valour.

⁹ Daeth Sera yr Ethiopiad yn eu herbyn gyda byddin o filiwn, a thri chant o gerbydau.

⁹And come out unto them doth Zerah the Cushite with a force of a thousand thousand, and chariots three hundred, and he cometh in unto Mareshah,

¹⁰ Pan gyrhaeddodd Maresa, daeth Asa allan yn ei erbyn, a pharatoesant i ymladd yn nyffryn Seffatha, yn ymyl Maresa.

¹⁰and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

¹¹ Galwodd Asa ar yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw a dweud, "O ARGLWYDD, nid oes neb fel ti i gynorthwyo'r gwan yn erbyn y cryf; cynorthwya ni, O ARGLWYDD ein Duw, oherwydd yr ydym yn ymddiried ynot, ac yn dy enw di y daethom yn erbyn y dyrfa hon. O ARGLWYDD, ein Duw ni wyt ti; na fydded i neb gystadlu � thi."

¹¹And Asa calleth unto Jehovah his God, and saith, `Jehovah! it is nothing with Thee to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O Jehovah, our God, for on Thee we have leant, and in Thy name we have come against this multitude; O Jehovah, our God thou [art]; let him not prevail with Thee -- mortal man!

¹² Felly, gorchfygodd yr ARGLWYDD yr Ethiopiaid o flaen Asa a Jwda. Fe ffoesant,

¹²And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,

¹³ gydag Asa a'i fyddin yn eu herlid, hyd at Gerar, lle syrthiodd cymaint ohonynt o flaen yr ARGLWYDD a'i fyddin fel na allent adennill eu nerth.

¹³and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even to Gerar, and there fall of the Cushim, for they have no preserving, because they have been broken before Jehovah, and before His camp; and they bear away very much spoil,

¹⁴ Casglodd gwu375?r Jwda anrhaith mawr iawn, a choncro'r holl ddinasoedd o gwmpas Gerar, am fod ofn yr ARGLWYDD arnynt. Anrheithiasant yr holl ddinasoedd am fod ysbail mawr iawn ynddynt.

¹⁴and smite all the cities round about Gerar, for a fear of Jehovah hath been upon them, and they spoil all the cities, for abundant spoil hath been in them;

¹⁵ Ymosodasant hefyd ar gorlannau'r anifeiliaid a chario ymaith lawer o ddefaid a chamelod, ac yna dychwelyd i Jerwsalem.

¹⁵and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.
