¹ Anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD y proffwyd Nathan at Ddafydd; a phan ddaeth, dywedodd wrtho: "Yr oedd dau ddyn mewn rhyw dref, un yn gyfoethog a'r llall yn dlawd.

¹And Jehovah sendeth Nathan unto David, and he cometh unto him, and saith to him: `Two men have been in one city; One rich and one poor;

² Yr oedd gan yr un cyfoethog lawer iawn o ddefaid ac ychen;

²The rich hath flocks and herds very many;

³ ond nid oedd dim gan yr un tlawd, ar wah�n i un oenig fechan yr oedd wedi ei phrynu a'i magu, a thyfodd i fyny ar ei aelwyd gyda'i blant, yn bwyta o'r un tamaid ag ef, yn yfed o'r un cwpan, ac yn cysgu yn ei g�l; yr oedd fel merch iddo.

³And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb, Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth, And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it is to him as a daughter;

⁴ Pan ddaeth ymwelydd at y dyn cyfoethog, gofalodd hwnnw beidio � chymryd yr un o'i ddefaid na'i ychen ei hun i wneud pryd i'r teithiwr oedd wedi cyrraedd, yn hytrach fe gymerodd oenig y dyn tlawd a'i pharatoi ar gyfer y sawl a ddaeth ato."

⁴And there cometh a traveller to the rich man, And he spareth to take Of his own flock, and of his own herd, To prepare for the traveller Who hath come to him, And he taketh the ewe-lamb of the poor man, And prepareth it for the man Who hath come unto him.`

⁵ Enynnodd dig Dafydd yn fawr yn erbyn y dyn, a dywedodd wrth Nathan, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, y mae'r dyn a wnaeth hyn yn haeddu marw!

⁵And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly, and he saith unto Nathan, `Jehovah liveth, surely a son of death [is] the man who is doing this,

⁶ Rhaid iddo dalu'r oen yn �l bedair gwaith am wneud y fath beth ac am beidio � dangos trugaredd."

⁶and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.`

⁷ Dywedodd Nathan wrth Ddafydd, "Ti yw'r dyn. Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, 'Fe'th eneiniais di yn frenin ar Israel, ac fe'th waredais o law Saul;

⁷And Nathan saith unto David, `Thou [art] the man! Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

⁸ rhois iti du375? dy feistr a gwragedd dy feistr yn dy fynwes, a rhois iti hefyd du375? Israel a Jwda. A phe buasai hynny'n rhy ychydig, buaswn wedi ychwanegu cymaint eto.

⁸and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and such [things].

⁹ Pam yr wyt wedi dirmygu gair yr ARGLWYDD drwy wneud yr hyn sydd ddrwg yn ei olwg? Yr wyt wedi lladd Ureia yr Hethiad �'r cleddyf, a chymryd ei wraig yn wraig i ti, wedi iti ei lofruddio ef � chleddyf yr Ammoniaid.

⁹`Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon.

¹⁰ Bellach ni thry'r cleddyf oddi wrth dy du375? hyd byth, gan i ti fy nirmygu i a chymryd gwraig Ureia yr Hethiad yn wraig i ti.'

¹⁰`And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife;

¹¹ Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: 'Wele fi'n codi yn dy erbyn ddrwg o blith dy deulu dy hun; o flaen dy lygad cymeraf dy wragedd a'u rhoi i'th gymydog, a bydd ef yn gorwedd gyda'th wragedd di yn llygad yr haul hwn.

¹¹thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil, out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes, and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives before the eyes of this sun;

¹² Yn llechwraidd y gweithredaist ti, ond fe wnaf fi'r peth hwn yng ngu373?ydd Israel gyfan ac yn wyneb haul.'"

¹²for thou hast done [it] in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.`

¹³ Yna dywedodd Dafydd wrth Nathan, "Yr wyf wedi pechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD." Ac meddai Nathan wrth Ddafydd, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yntau wedi troi dy bechod heibio; ni fyddi farw.

¹³And David saith unto Nathan, `I have sinned against Jehovah.` And Nathan saith unto David, `Also — Jehovah hath caused thy sin to pass away; thou dost not die;

¹⁴ Ond oherwydd iti lwyr ddiystyru'r ARGLWYDD yn y mater hwn, yn ddi-os bydd farw y bachgen a enir iti."

¹⁴only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.`

¹⁵ Wedi i Nathan fynd adref, trawodd yr ARGLWYDD y plentyn a ymdd�g gwraig Ureia i Ddafydd, a chlafychodd.

¹⁵And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is incurable;

¹⁶ Ymbiliodd Dafydd � Duw dros y bachgen; ymprydiodd, a mynd a threulio'r nos yn gorwedd ar lawr.

¹⁶and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.

¹⁷ Pan geisiodd henuriaid ei du375? ei godi oddi ar lawr, ni fynnai godi ac ni fwyt�i fara gyda hwy.

¹⁷And the elders of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he hath not been willing, nor hath he eaten with them bread;

¹⁸ Ar y seithfed dydd bu farw'r plentyn, ond yr oedd gweision Dafydd yn ofni dweud wrtho ei fod wedi marw. "Gwelwch," meddent, "tra oedd y plentyn yn fyw, nid oedd yn gwrando arnom, er inni siarad ag ef; sut y dywedwn wrtho fod y plentyn wedi marw? Gallai wneud rhyw niwed iddo'i hun."

¹⁸and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the lad is dead, for they said, `Lo, in the lad being alive we spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do we say unto him, The lad is dead? — then he hath done evil.`

¹⁹ Pan welodd Dafydd fod ei weision yn sibrwd ymhlith ei gilydd, deallodd fod y plentyn wedi marw; felly dywedodd Dafydd wrth ei weision, "A yw'r plentyn wedi marw?" "Ydyw," meddent hwythau.

¹⁹And David seeth that his servants are whispering, and David understandeth that the lad is dead, and David saith unto his servants, `Is the lad dead?` and they say, `Dead.`

²⁰ Yna cododd Dafydd oddi ar lawr, ac ymolchi a'i eneinio'i hun a newid ei ddillad; ac aeth i du375? Dduw i addoli. Wedyn aeth i'w du375? a gofyn am fwyd; ac wedi iddynt ei osod iddo, fe fwytaodd.

²⁰And David riseth from the earth, and doth bathe and anoint [himself], and changeth his raiment, and cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and boweth himself, and cometh unto his house, and asketh and they place for him bread, and he eateth.

²¹ Gofynnodd ei weision iddo, "Beth yw hyn yr wyt yn ei wneud? Tra oedd y plentyn yn fyw, yr oeddit yn ymprydio ac yn wylo; ond wedi i'r plentyn farw, yr wyt wedi codi a bwyta."

²¹And his servants say unto him, `What [is] this thing thou hast done? because of the living lad thou hast fasted and dost weep, and when the lad is dead thou hast risen and dost eat bread.`

²² Eglurodd yntau, "Tra oedd y plentyn yn dal yn fyw, yr oeddwn yn ymprydio ac yn wylo am fy mod yn meddwl, 'Pwy a u373?yr a fydd yr ARGLWYDD yn trugarhau wrthyf, ac y bydd y plentyn fyw?'

²²And he saith, `While the lad is alive I have fasted, and weep, for I said, Who knoweth? — Jehovah doth pity me, and the lad hath lived;

²³ Ond erbyn hyn y mae wedi marw; pam felly y dylwn ymprydio? A fedraf fi ddod ag ef yn �l? Byddaf fi'n mynd ato ef, ond ni ddaw ef yn �l ataf fi."

²³and now, he hath died, why [is] this — I fast? am I able to bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn back unto me.`

²⁴ Cysurodd Dafydd ei wraig Bathseba, ac aeth i mewn ati a gorwedd gyda hi; esgorodd hithau ar fab, a'i alw'n Solomon. Hoffodd yr ARGLWYDD ef,

²⁴And David comforteth Bath-Sheba his wife, and goeth in unto her, and lieth with her, and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Solomon; and Jehovah hath loved him,

²⁵ ac anfonodd neges drwy law'r proffwyd Nathan i'w enwi yn Jedidia oblegid yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁵and sendeth by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calleth his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah.

²⁶ Ymosododd Joab ar Rabba'r Ammoniaid, a chipiodd ddinas y brenin.

²⁶And Joab fighteth against Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and captureth the royal city,

²⁷ Anfonodd Joab negeswyr at Ddafydd a dweud, "Yr wyf wedi ymosod ar Rabba, ac wedi cipio'r gronfa ddu373?r.

²⁷and Joab sendeth messengers unto David, and saith, `I have fought against Rabbah — also I have captured the city of waters;

²⁸ Yn awr, casgla weddill y fyddin a gwersylla yn erbyn y ddinas a'i hennill, rhag i mi gipio'r ddinas ac iddi gael ei galw ar f'enw i."

²⁸and now, gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name hath been called upon it.`

²⁹ Casglodd Dafydd y fyddin gyfan, ac aeth i Rabba ac ymladd yn ei herbyn a'i hennill.

²⁹And David gathereth all the people, and goeth to Rabbah, and fighteth against it, and captureth it;

³⁰ Cymerodd goron eu brenin oddi ar ei ben � yr oedd yn pwyso talent o aur, a gem gwerthfawr ynddi � a rhoed hi ar ben Dafydd. Dygodd o'r ddinas lawer o ysbail,

³⁰and he taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and the spoil of the city he hath brought out, very much;

³¹ ac aeth �'r bobl oedd ynddi a'u gosod i lafurio � llifiau a cheibiau heyrn a bwyeill heyrn, a hefyd i weithio priddfeini. Gwnaeth Dafydd yr un modd � holl drefi'r Ammoniaid, ac yna dychwelodd ef a'r holl fyddin i Jerwsalem.

³¹and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and hath caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he doth to all the cities of the Bene-Ammon; and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
