¹ Hysbyswyd Joab fod y brenin yn wylo ac yn galaru am Absalom.

¹And it is declared to Joab, `Lo, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom;`

² Trodd buddugoliaeth y dydd yn alar i'r holl fyddin wedi iddynt glywed y diwrnod hwnnw fod y brenin yn gofidio am ei fab.

²and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, `The king hath been grieved for his son.`

³ Sleifiodd y fyddin i mewn i'r ddinas y diwrnod hwnnw, fel y bydd byddin sydd wedi ei chywilyddio ar �l ffoi mewn brwydr.

³And the people stealeth away, on that day, to go in to the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;

⁴ Yr oedd y brenin yn cuddio'i wyneb ac yn gweiddi'n uchel, "Fy mab Absalom, Absalom fy mab, fy mab!"

⁴and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth — a loud voice — `My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.`

⁵ Yna aeth Joab i'r ystafell at y brenin a dweud, "Yr wyt ti heddiw yn gwaradwyddo dy ddilynwyr i gyd, sef y rhai sydd wedi achub dy fywyd di heddiw, a bywydau dy feibion a'th ferched, a bywydau dy wragedd a'th ordderchwragedd.

⁵And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith, `Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants, those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines,

⁶ Trwy ddangos cariad tuag at dy gaseion a chas at dy garedigion, yr wyt ti'n cyhoeddi heddiw nad yw dy swyddogion na'th filwyr yn ddim gennyt. Yn wir fe welaf yn awr y byddit wrth dy fodd heddiw pe byddai Absalom wedi byw a ninnau i gyd wedi marw.

⁶to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us to-day dead, that then it were right in thine eyes.

⁷ Felly cod, dos allan a dywed air o galondid wrth dy ddilynwyr, neu, onid ei di allan atynt, tyngaf i'r ARGLWYDD, erbyn heno ni fydd gennyt yr un dyn ar �l; a byddi mewn gwaeth trybini na dim sydd wedi digwydd iti o'th febyd hyd yn awr."

⁷`And now, rise, go out and speak unto the heart of thy servants, for by Jehovah I have sworn, that — thou art not going out — there doth not lodge a man with thee to-night; and this [is] worse for thee than all the evil that hath come upon thee from thy youth till now.`

⁸ Ar hynny cododd y brenin ac eistedd yn y porth; anfonwyd neges at yr holl fyddin fod y brenin yn eistedd yn y porth, a daeth y fyddin gyfan ynghyd gerbron y brenin. Yr oedd yr Israeliaid i gyd wedi ffoi i'w cartrefi.

⁸And the king riseth, and sitteth in the gate, and to all the people they have declared, saying, `Lo, the king is sitting in the gate;` and all the people come in before the king, and Israel hath fled, each to his tents.

⁹ Yna dechreuodd pawb trwy holl lwythau Israel ddadlau a dweud, "Achubodd y brenin ni o afael ein gelynion, ac yn arbennig fe'n gwaredodd ni rhag y Philistiaid. Yn awr y mae wedi ffoi o'r wlad o achos Absalom.

⁹And it cometh to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, `The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, yea, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he hath fled out of the land because of Absalom,

¹⁰ Ond y mae Absalom, a eneiniwyd gennym yn frenin, wedi marw yn y rhyfel; pam felly yr ydych yn oedi dod �'r brenin adref?"

¹⁰and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are ye silent — to bring back the king?`

¹¹ Daeth dadleuon yr Israeliaid i gyd i glustiau'r brenin yn ei du375?, ac anfonodd at Sadoc ac Abiathar, yr offeiriaid, iddynt ddweud wrth henuriaid Jwda, "Pam yr ydych chwi'n oedi dod �'r brenin adref?

¹¹And king David sent unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, saying, `Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye last to bring back the king unto his house? (and the word of all Israel hath come unto the king, unto his house;)

¹² Chwi yw fy nhylwyth, fy asgwrn i a'm cnawd; pam yr ydych yn oedi dod �'r brenin adref?

¹²my brethren ye [are], my bone and my flesh ye [are], and why are ye last to bring back the king?

¹³ Dywedwch wrth Amasa, 'Onid fy asgwrn i a'm cnawd wyt tithau? Fel hyn y gwnelo Duw imi, a rhagor os nad ti o hyn ymlaen fydd capten y llu drosof yn lle Joab.'"

¹³And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh? Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not head of the host before me all the days instead of Joab.`

¹⁴ Enillodd galon holl wu375?r Jwda'n unfryd, ac anfonasant neges at y brenin, "Tyrd yn �l, ti a'th holl ddilynwyr."

¹⁴And he inclineth the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send unto the king, `Turn back, thou, and all thy servants.`

¹⁵ Daeth y brenin yn �l, a phan gyrhaeddodd yr Iorddonen, yr oedd y Jwdeaid wedi cyrraedd Gilgal ar eu ffordd i gyfarfod y brenin a'i hebrwng dros yr Iorddonen.

¹⁵And the king turneth back, and cometh in unto the Jordan, and Judah hath come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,

¹⁶ Brysiodd Simei, mab Gera y Benjaminiad o Bahurim, i fynd i lawr gyda gwu375?r Jwda i gyfarfod y Brenin Dafydd.

¹⁶and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hasteth, and cometh down with the men of Judah, to meet king David,

¹⁷ Daeth mil o ddynion o Benjamin gydag ef. A rhuthrodd Siba gwas teulu Saul, gyda'i bymtheg mab ac ugain gwas, i lawr at yr Iorddonen o flaen y brenin,

¹⁷and a thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.

¹⁸ a chroesi'r rhyd i gario teulu'r brenin drosodd, er mwyn ennill ffafr yn ei olwg. Wedi i'r brenin groesi, syrthiodd Simei fab Gera o'i flaen

¹⁸And passed over hath the ferry-boat to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera hath fallen before the king in his passing over into Jordan,

¹⁹ a dweud wrtho, "O f'arglwydd, paid �'m hystyried yn euog, a phaid � chofio ymddygiad gwarthus dy was y diwrnod y gadawodd f'arglwydd frenin Jerwsalem, na'i gadw mewn cof.

¹⁹and saith unto the king, `Let not my lord impute to me iniquity; neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, — for the king to set [it] unto his heart;

²⁰ Oherwydd y mae dy was yn sylweddoli iddo bechu, ac am hynny dyma fi wedi dod yma heddiw, yn gyntaf o holl du375? Joseff i ddod i lawr i gyfarfod f'arglwydd frenin."

²⁰for thy servant hath known that I have sinned; and lo, I have come to-day, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.`

²¹ Ymateb Abisai fab Serfia oedd, "Oni ddylid rhoi Simei i farwolaeth am felltithio eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD?"

²¹And Abishai son of Zeruiah answereth and saith, `For this is not Shimei put to death — because he reviled the anointed of Jehovah?`

²² Ond dywedodd Dafydd, "Beth sydd a wneloch chwi � mi, O feibion Serfia, eich bod yn troi'n wrthwynebwyr imi heddiw? Ni chaiff neb yn Israel ei roi i farwolaeth heddiw, oherwydd oni wn i heddiw mai myfi sy'n frenin ar Israel?"

²²And David saith, `What — to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that to-day I [am] king over Israel?`

²³ Dywedodd y brenin wrth Simei, "Ni fyddi farw." A thyngodd y brenin hynny wrtho.

²³And the king saith unto Shimei, `Thou dost not die;` and the king sweareth to him.

²⁴ Hefyd fe ddaeth Meffiboseth, u373?yr Saul, i lawr i gyfarfod y brenin. Nid oedd wedi trin ei draed na'i farf, na golchi ei ddillad o'r diwrnod yr ymadawodd y brenin hyd y dydd y dychwelodd yn ddiogel.

²⁴And Mephibosheth son of Saul hath come down to meet the king — and he prepared not his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, yea, his garments he washed not, even from the day of the going away of the king, till the day that he came in peace —

²⁵ Pan gyrhaeddodd o Jerwsalem i gyfarfod y brenin, gofynnodd y brenin iddo, "Pam nad aethost ti gyda mi, Meffiboseth?"

²⁵and it cometh to pass, when he hath come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king saith to him, `Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?`

²⁶ Atebodd yntau, "O f'arglwydd frenin, fy ngwas a'm twyllodd i; yr oeddwn i wedi bwriadu cyfrwyo asyn a marchogaeth arno yng nghwmni'r brenin, am fy mod yn gloff.

²⁶And he saith, `My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for thy servant said, I saddle for me the ass, and ride on it, and go with the king, for thy servant [is] lame;

²⁷ Y mae fy ngwas wedi f'enllibio i wrth f'arglwydd frenin, ond y mae f'arglwydd frenin fel angel Duw; gwna fel y gweli'n dda.

²⁷and he uttereth slander against thy servant unto my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do thou that which is good in thine eyes,

²⁸ I'm harglwydd frenin nid oedd y cyfan o dylwyth fy nhad ond meirwon, ac eto gosodaist ti dy was ymhlith y rhai oedd yn cael bwyta wrth dy fwrdd; pa hawl bellach sydd gennyf i apelio eto at y brenin?"

²⁸for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and thou dost set thy servant among those eating at thy table, and what right have I any more — even to cry any more unto the king?`

²⁹ Dywedodd y brenin wrtho, "Pam y dywedi ragor? Penderfynais dy fod ti a Siba i rannu'r ystad."

²⁹And the king saith to him, `Why dost thou speak any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba — share ye the field.`

³⁰ Dywedodd Meffiboseth wrth y brenin, "Cymered ef y cwbl, gan fod f'arglwydd frenin wedi cyrraedd adref yn ddiogel."

³⁰And Mephibosheth saith unto the king, `Yea, the whole let him take, after that my lord the king hath come in peace unto his house.`

³¹ Daeth Barsilai y Gileadiad i lawr o Rogelim a mynd cyn belled �'r Iorddonen i hebrwng y brenin.

³¹And Barzillai the Gileadite hath gone down from Rogelim, and passeth over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;

³² Yr oedd Barsilai yn hen iawn, yn bedwar ugain oed, ac ef oedd wedi cynnal y brenin tra oedd yn aros ym Mahanaim, oherwydd yr oedd yn u373?r cefnog iawn.

³²and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;

³³ Dywedodd y brenin wrth Barsilai, "Tyrd drosodd gyda mi, a chynhaliaf di tra byddi gyda mi yn Jerwsalem."

³³and the king saith unto Barzillai, `Pass thou over with me, and I have sustained thee with me in Jerusalem.`

³⁴ Ond meddai Barsilai wrth y brenin, "Pa faint rhagor sydd gennyf i fyw, fel y down i fyny i Jerwsalem gyda'r brenin?

³⁴And Barzillai saith unto the king, `How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?

³⁵ Yr wyf yn bedwar ugain oed erbyn hyn; ni allaf ddweud y gwahaniaeth rhwng da a drwg; nid wyf yn medru blasu'r hyn yr wyf yn ei fwyta na'i yfed, na chlywed erbyn hyn leisiau cantorion a chantoresau. Pam y byddwn yn faich pellach ar f'arglwydd frenin?

³⁵A son of eighty years I [am] to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a burden unto my lord the king?

³⁶ Yn fuan iawn bydd dy was wedi hebrwng y brenin at yr Iorddonen; pam y dylai'r brenin roi'r fath d�l imi?

³⁶As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this recompense?

³⁷ Gad i'th was ddychwelyd, fel y caf farw yn fy ninas fy hun, gerllaw bedd fy nhad a'm mam. Ond dyma dy was Cimham, gad iddo ef groesi gyda'm harglwydd frenin, a gwna iddo ef fel y gweli'n dda."

³⁷Let, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother, — and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do thou to him that which [is] good in thine eyes.`

³⁸ Dywedodd y brenin, "Fe gaiff Cimham fynd drosodd gyda mi, a gwnaf iddo fel y gweli di'n dda; a gwnaf i tithau beth bynnag a ddeisyfi gennyf."

³⁸And the king saith, `With me doth Chimham go over, and I do to him that which [is] good in thine eyes, yea, all that thou dost fix on me I do to thee.`

³⁹ Croesodd yr holl bobl dros yr Iorddonen, tra oedd y brenin yn aros; yna cusanodd y brenin Barsilai, a'i fendithio, ac aeth yntau adref.

³⁹And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king hath passed over, and the king giveth a kiss to Barzillai, and blesseth him, and he turneth back to his place.

⁴⁰ Pan groesodd y brenin i Gilgal, aeth Cimham drosodd gydag ef; yr oedd holl filwyr Jwda a hanner milwyr Israel yn ei hebrwng drosodd.

⁴⁰And the king passeth over to Gilgal, and Chimham hath passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.

⁴¹ Yna daeth yr holl Israeliaid a dweud wrth y brenin, "Pam y mae'n brodyr, pobl Jwda, wedi dwyn y brenin, a dod ag ef a'i deulu dros yr Iorddonen, a holl filwyr Dafydd gydag ef?"

⁴¹And, lo, all the men of Israel are coming unto the king, and they say unto the king, `Wherefore have they stolen thee — our brethren, the men of Judah?` (and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him).

⁴² Dywedodd holl wu375?r Jwda wrth yr Israeliaid, "Y mae'r brenin yn perthyn yn nes i ni. Pam yr ydych mor ddig am hyn? A ydym ni wedi bwyta o gwbl ar ei draul, neu wedi derbyn unrhyw fantais ganddo?"

⁴²And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, `Because the king [is] near unto us, and why [is] this — ye are displeased about this matter? have we at all eaten of the king`s [substance?] a gift hath he lifted up to us?`

⁴³ Ateb gwu375?r Israel i wu375?r Jwda ar hyn oedd: "Y mae gennym ni ddengwaith mwy o hawl ar y brenin na chwi, ac yr ydym ni yn hu375?n na chwi hefyd. Pam yr ydych yn ein bychanu ni? Onid ni oedd y cyntaf i s�n am ddod �'n brenin yn �l?" Ond dadleuodd gwu375?r Jwda yn ffyrnicach na gwu375?r Israel.

⁴³And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, `Ten parts we have in the king, and also in David more than you; and wherefore have ye lightly esteemed us, that our word hath not been first to bring back our king?` And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
