¹ Yr oedd gan Absalom fab Dafydd chwaer brydferth o'r enw Tamar, a syrthiodd Amnon, un arall o feibion Dafydd, mewn cariad � hi.

¹And it cometh to pass afterwards that Absalom son of David hath a fair sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loveth her.

² Poenodd Amnon nes ei fod yn glaf o achos ei chwaer Tamar; oherwydd yr oedd hi yn wyryf, ac nid oedd yn bosibl yng ngolwg Amnon iddo wneud dim iddi.

²And Amnon hath distress — even to become sick, because of Tamar his sister, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.

³ Ond yr oedd ganddo gyfaill o'r enw Jonadab, mab Simea brawd Dafydd, ac yr oedd Jonadab yn ddyn cyfrwys iawn.

³And Amnon hath a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David`s brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,

⁴ Gofynnodd hwn iddo, "Pam yr wyt ti'n nychu fel hyn o ddydd i ddydd, O fab y brenin? Oni ddywedi di wrthyf?" Atebodd Amnon, "Yr wyf mewn cariad � Tamar, chwaer fy mrawd Absalom."

⁴and saith to him, `Wherefore [art] thou thus lean, O king`s son, morning by morning? dost thou not declare to me?` And Amnon saith to him, `Tamar — sister of Absalom my brother — I am loving.`

⁵ Yna dywedodd Jonadab wrtho, "Gorwedd ar dy wely a chymer arnat dy fod yn glaf; a phan ddaw dy dad i'th weld, dywed wrtho, 'Gad i'm chwaer Tamar ddod i roi bwyd imi, a pharatoi'r bwyd yn fy ngolwg, er mwyn i mi gael gweld a bwyta o'i llaw hi.'"

⁵And Jonadab saith to him, `Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, `Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.`

⁶ Felly aeth Amnon i'w wely a chymryd arno ei fod yn glaf; a phan ddaeth y brenin i'w weld, dywedodd Amnon wrtho, "Gad i'm chwaer Tamar ddod a gwneud cwpl o deisennau bach o flaen fy llygaid, fel y caf fwyta o'i llaw."

⁶And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, `Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes, and I eat from her hand.`

⁷ Anfonodd Dafydd at Tamar i'r palas a dweud, "Dos yn awr i du375? dy frawd Amnon a pharatoa fwyd iddo."

⁷And David sendeth unto Tamar, to the house, saying, `Go, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and make for him food.`

⁸ Fe aeth Tamar i du375? ei brawd Amnon, ac yntau yn ei wely; cymerodd does, a'i dylino a gwneud teisennau bach o flaen ei lygaid, a'u crasu.

⁸And Tamar goeth to the house of Amnon her brother, and he is lying down, and she taketh the dough, and kneadeth, and maketh cakes before his eyes, and cooketh the cakes,

⁹ Yna cymerodd y badell a'u gosod o'i flaen. Ond gwrthododd Amnon fwyta, a gorchmynnodd iddynt anfon pawb allan.

⁹and taketh the frying-pan, and poureth out before him, and he refuseth to eat, and Amnon saith, `Take ye out every one from me;` and they go out every one from him.

¹⁰ Wedi i bawb fynd allan, dywedodd Amnon wrth Tamar, "Tyrd �'r bwyd i'r siambr imi gael bwyta o'th law." Felly cymerodd Tamar y teisennau a barat�dd, a mynd � hwy at Amnon ei brawd i'r siambr;

¹⁰And Amnon saith unto Tamar, `Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from thy hand;` and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into the inner chamber,

¹¹ ond pan gynigiodd hwy iddo i'w bwyta, ymaflodd ynddi, a dweud wrthi, "Tyrd, fy chwaer, gorwedd gyda mi."

¹¹and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith to her, `Come, lie with me, my sister.`

¹² Dywedodd hithau wrtho, "Na, fy mrawd, paid �'m treisio, oherwydd ni wneir fel hyn yn Israel; paid � gwneud peth mor ff�l.

¹²And she saith to him, `Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not this folly.

¹³ Amdanaf fi, i ble y gallwn fynd �'m gwarth? A byddit tithau fel un o'r ffyliaid yn Israel. Dos i ofyn i'r brenin, oherwydd ni fyddai'n gwrthod fy rhoi iti."

¹³And I — whither do I cause my reproach to go? and thou — thou art as one of the fools in Israel; and now, speak, I pray thee, unto the king; for he doth not withhold me from thee.`

¹⁴ Ond gwrthododd wrando arni, a threchodd hi a'i threisio a gorwedd gyda hi.

¹⁴And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbleth her, and lieth with her.

¹⁵ Yna casaodd Amnon hi � chas perffaith; yn wir yr oedd ei gasineb tuag ati yn fwy na'r cariad a fu ganddo, a dywedodd wrthi, "Cod a dos."

¹⁵And Amnon hateth her — a very great hatred — that greater [is] the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon saith to her, `Rise, go.`

¹⁶ Dywedodd hithau, "Na, oherwydd y mae fy ngyrru i ffwrdd yn waeth cam na'r llall a wnaethost � mi." Ni fynnai ef wrando arni,

¹⁶And she saith to him, `Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me — to send me away;` and he hath not been willing to hearken to her,

¹⁷ ond galwodd am y llanc oedd yn gweini arno, a dweud, "Gyrrwch hon i ffwrdd oddi wrthyf, a chloi'r drws ar ei h�l."

¹⁷and calleth his young man, his servant, and saith, `Send away, I pray thee, this one from me without, and bolt the door after her;`

¹⁸ Yr oedd ganddi fantell amryliw amdani, oherwydd dyna sut yr arferai tywysogesau dibriod wisgo. Pan drodd ei was hi allan a chloi'r drws ar ei h�l,

¹⁸— and upon her [is] a long coat, for such upper robes do daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on, — and his servant taketh her out without, and hath bolted the door after her.

¹⁹ taflodd Tamar ludw drosti ei hun, rhwygo'i mantell amryliw, gosod ei llaw ar ei phen, a mynd allan gan lefain.

¹⁹And Tamar taketh ashes for her head, and the long coat that [is] on her she hath rent, and putteth her hand on her head, and goeth, going on and crying;

²⁰ Gofynnodd ei brawd Absalom iddi, "Ai dy frawd Amnon a fu gyda thi? Taw, yn awr, fy chwaer; dy frawd yw ef, paid � phoeni'n ormodol am hyn." Ond arhosodd Tamar yn alarus yng nghartref ei brawd Absalom.

²⁰and Absalom her brother saith unto her, `Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] thy brother; set not thy heart to this thing;` and Tamar dwelleth — but desolate — in the house of Absalom her brother.

²¹ Pan glywodd y brenin Dafydd am hyn i gyd, bu'n ddig iawn, ond ni wastrododd ei fab Amnon, am ei fod yn ei garu, oherwydd ef oedd ei gyntafanedig.

²¹And king David hath heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;

²² Ni ddywedodd Absalom air wrth Amnon na drwg na da; ond yr oedd Absalom yn cas�u Amnon am iddo dreisio ei chwaer Tamar.

²²and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled Tamar his sister.

²³ Ymhen dwy flynedd yr oedd yn ddiwrnod cneifio gan Absalom yn Baal-hasor ger Effraim, ac fe estynnodd wahoddiad i holl feibion y brenin.

²³And it cometh to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which [is] with Ephraim, and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king.

²⁴ Aeth Absalom at y brenin hefyd, a dweud, "Edrych, y mae gan dy was ddiwrnod cneifio; doed y brenin a'i weision yno gyda'th was."

²⁴And Absalom cometh unto the king, and saith, `Lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee, and his servants, with thy servant.`

²⁵ Ond meddai'r brenin wrth Absalom, "Na, na, fy mab, ni ddown i gyd, rhag bod yn ormod o faich arnat." Ac er iddo grefu, gwrthododd fynd; ond rhoes ei fendith iddo.

²⁵And the king saith unto Absalom, `Nay, my son, let us not all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;` and he presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he blesseth him.

²⁶ Yna dywedodd Absalom, "Os na ddoi di, gad i'm brawd Amnon ddod gyda ni." Gofynnodd y brenin, "Pam y dylai ef fynd gyda thi?"

²⁶And Absalom saith, `If not — let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us;` and the king saith to him, `Why doth he go with thee?`

²⁷ Ond wedi i Absalom grefu arno, fe anfonodd gydag ef Amnon a holl feibion y brenin.

²⁷and Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon, and all the sons of the king.

²⁸ Yna huliodd Absalom wledd frenhinol, a gorchymyn i'w lanciau, "Edrychwch, pan fydd Amnon yn llawen gan win, a minnau'n dweud, 'Tarwch Amnon', yna lladdwch ef. Peidiwch ag ofni; onid wyf fi wedi gorchymyn i chwi? Byddwch yn wrol a dewr."

²⁸And Absalom commandeth his young men, saying, `See, I pray thee, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea, become sons of valour.`

²⁹ Gwnaeth y llanciau i Amnon yn �l gorchymyn Absalom, a neidiodd holl feibion y brenin ar gefn eu mulod a ffoi.

²⁹And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.

³⁰ Tra oeddent ar y ffordd, daeth si i glyw Dafydd fod Absalom wedi lladd holl feibion y brenin, heb adael yr un ohonynt.

³⁰And it cometh to pass — they [are] in the way — and the report hath come unto David, saying, `Absalom hath smitten all the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;`

³¹ Cododd y brenin a rhwygo'i ddillad; yna gorweddodd ar lawr, a'i holl weision yn sefyll o'i gwmpas �'u dillad wedi eu rhwygo.

³¹and the king riseth, and rendeth his garments, and lieth on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] rent garments.

³² Yna meddai Jonadab mab Simea brawd Dafydd, "Peidied f'arglwydd � meddwl eu bod wedi lladd y bechgyn, meibion y brenin, i gyd; Amnon yn unig sydd wedi marw. Y mae hyn wedi bod ym mwriad Absalom o'r dydd y treisiodd ei chwaer Tamar.

³²And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David`s brother, answereth and saith, `Let not my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is] dead, for by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister;

³³ Peidied f'arglwydd yn awr � chymryd y peth at ei galon, fel petai holl feibion y brenin wedi marw; Amnon yn unig sy'n farw,

³³and now, let not my lord the king lay unto his heart the word, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [is] dead.`

³⁴ ac y mae Absalom wedi ffoi." Fel yr oedd y llanc oedd ar wyliadwriaeth yn edrych allan, gwelodd dwr o bobl yn dod i lawr o gyfeiriad Horonaim. Aeth y gwyliwr a dweud wrth y brenin ei fod wedi gweld dynion yn dod o gyfeiriad Horonaim ar hyd ochr y mynydd.

³⁴And Absalom fleeth, and the young man who is watching lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.

³⁵ Dywedodd Jonadab wrth y brenin, "Dacw feibion y brenin yn dod. Y mae wedi digwydd fel y dywedodd dy was."

³⁵And Jonadab saith unto the king, `Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.`

³⁶ Ac fel yr oedd yn gorffen siarad, dyma feibion y brenin yn cyrraedd ac yn torri allan i wylo, nes bod y brenin hefyd a'i holl weision yn wylo'n chwerw.

³⁶And it cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept — a very great weeping.

³⁷ Ffodd Absalom, a mynd at Talmai fab Ammihur brenin Gesur; ac yr oedd Dafydd yn parhau i alaru ar �l ei fab.

³⁷And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourneth for his son all the days.

³⁸ Wedi i Absalom ffoi a chyrraedd Gesur, arhosodd yno am dair blynedd.

³⁸And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;

³⁹ Yna cododd hiraeth ar y Brenin Dafydd am Absalom, unwaith yr oedd wedi ei gysuro am farwolaeth Amnon.

³⁹and [the soul of] king David determineth to go out unto Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
