1 Yr oedd yn digwydd bod yno ddihiryn o'r enw Seba fab Bichri, o lwyth Benjamin. Canodd ef yr utgorn a chyhoeddi, "Nid oes i ni gyfran yn Nafydd, nac etifeddiaeth ym mab Jesse. Pob un i'w babell, O Israel!"
1And there hath been called there a man of worthlessness, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and saith, `We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each to his tents, O Israel.`
2 Yna ciliodd yr Israeliaid oddi wrth Ddafydd, a dilyn Seba fab Bichri; ond glynodd y Jwdeaid wrth eu brenin bob cam, o'r Iorddonen i Jerwsalem.
2And every man of Israel goeth up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their king, from the Jordan even unto Jerusalem.
3 Wedi i'r Brenin Dafydd gyrraedd Jerwsalem, cymerodd y deg gor-dderchwraig a adawyd i ofalu am y tu375?, a'u rhoi dan warchod; yr oedd yn rhoi eu cynhaliaeth iddynt, ond heb fynd i mewn atynt. A buont dan glo hyd ddydd eu marwolaeth, yn byw fel gweddwon.
3And David cometh in unto his house at Jerusalem, and the king taketh the ten women-concubines — whom he had left to keep the house, and putteth them in a house of ward, and sustaineth them, and unto them he hath not gone in, and they are shut up unto the day of their death, in widowhood living.
4 Yna dywedodd y brenin wrth Amasa, "Galw ynghyd ataf filwyr Jwda, a bydd yn �l yma o fewn tridiau."
4And the king saith unto Amasa, `Call for me the men of Judah [in] three days, and thou, stand here,`
5 Aeth Amasa i alw Jwda ynghyd, ond oedodd yn hwy na'r amser penodedig.
5and Amasa goeth to call Judah, and tarrieth beyond the appointed time that he had appointed him;
6 Ac meddai Dafydd wrth Abisai, "Yn awr bydd Seba fab Bichri yn creu mwy o helynt inni nag Absalom; cymer fy ngweision ac erlid ar ei �l, rhag iddo gyrraedd dinasoedd caerog a diflannu o'n golwg."
6and David saith unto Abishai, `Now doth Sheba son of Bichri do evil to us more than Absalom; thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he have found for himself fenced cities, and delivered himself [from] our eye.`
7 Dilynwyd Abisai gan Joab a'r Cerethiaid a'r Pelethiaid a'r holl filwyr profiadol, a gadawsant Jerwsalem i erlid ar �l Seba fab Bichri. Pan oeddent wrth y maen mawr yn Gibeon, daeth Amasa i'w cyfarfod.
7And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri;
8 Yr oedd Joab wedi gwregysu'r fantell yr oedd yn ei gwisgo, a throsti yr oedd gwregys ei gleddyf a oedd mewn gwain wedi ei rhwymo ar ei lwynau; ac wrth iddo symud ymlaen, fe syrthiodd y cleddyf.
8they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa hath gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; his long robe he hath put on him, and upon it a girdle — a sword [is] fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and he hath gone out, and it falleth.
9 Wedi i Joab ddweud wrth Amasa, "Sut yr wyt ti, fy mrawd?" gafaelodd �'i law dde ym marf Amasa i'w gusanu.
9And Joab saith to Amasa, `Art thou [in] peace, my brother?` and the right hand of Joab layeth hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to him;
10 Nid oedd Amasa wedi sylwi ar y cleddyf oedd yn llaw Joab, a thrawodd Joab ef yn ei fol nes i'w ymysgaroedd ddisgyn i'r llawr, a bu farw heb ail ergyd. Yna aeth Joab a'i frawd Abisai yn eu blaen ar �l Seba fab Bichri.
10and Amasa hath not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he smiteth him with it unto the fifth [rib], and sheddeth out his bowels to the earth, and he hath not repeated [it] to him, and he dieth; and Joab and Abishai his brother have pursued after Sheba son of Bichri.
11 Safodd un o lanciau Joab wrth y corff a dweud, "Pwy bynnag sy'n fodlon ar Joab, a phwy bynnag sydd o blaid Dafydd, canlynwch Joab."
11And a man hath stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and saith, `He who hath delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David — after Joab!`
12 Yr oedd Amasa'n gorwedd yn bentwr gwaedlyd ar ganol yr heol, a phan welodd y dyn fod y bobl i gyd yn sefyll, symudodd Amasa o'r heol i'r cae a bwrw dilledyn drosto.
12And Amasa is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man seeth that all the people have stood still, and he bringeth round Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casteth over him a garment, when he hath seen that every one who hath come by him — hath stood still.
13 Yr oedd pawb a dd�i heibio wedi bod yn sefyll wrth ei weld; ond wedi iddo gael ei symud o'r heol, yr oedd pawb yn dilyn Joab i erlid ar �l Seba fab Bichri.
13When he hath been removed out of the highway, every man hath passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
14 Aeth Seba trwy holl lwythau Israel nes cyrraedd Abel-beth-maacha, ac ymgasglodd yr holl Bichriaid a'i ddilyn.
14And he passeth over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and go in also after him,
15 Pan gyrhaeddodd holl fyddin Joab, rhoesant warchae arno yn Abel-beth-maacha a chodi gwarchglawdd yn erbyn y ddinas, a thurio i ddymchwel y mur.
15and they go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mount against the city, and it standeth in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
16 Yna safodd gwraig ddoeth ar yr amddiffynfa a gweiddi o'r ddinas, "Gwrandewch, gwrandewch, a dywedwch wrth Joab am iddo ddod yma i mi gael siarad ag ef."
16And a wise woman calleth out of the city, `Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, and I speak unto thee.`
17 Daeth yntau ati, a gofynnodd y wraig, "Ai ti yw Joab?" "Ie," meddai yntau. Yna dywedodd hi wrtho, "Gwrando ar eiriau dy lawforwyn," ac atebodd yntau, "Rwy'n gwrando."
17And he cometh near unto her, and the woman saith, `Art thou Joab?` and he saith, `I [am].` And she saith to him, `Hear the words of thy handmaid;` and he saith, `I am hearing.`
18 Ac meddai hi, "Byddent yn arfer dweud ers talwm, 'Dim ond iddynt geisio cyngor yn Abel, a dyna ben ar y peth.'
18and she speaketh, saying, `They spake often in former times, saying, Let them diligently ask at Abel, and so they finished.
19 Un o rai heddychol a ffyddlon Israel wyf fi, ond yr wyt ti'n ceisio distrywio dinas sy'n fam yn Israel. Pam yr wyt am ddifetha etifeddiaeth yr ARGLWYDD?"
19I [am] of the peaceable — faithful ones of Israel; thou art seeking to destroy a city, and a mother in Israel; why dost thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
20 Atebodd Joab a dweud, "Pell y bo, pell y bo oddi wrthyf! Nid wyf am ddifetha na distrywio.
20And Joab answereth and saith, `Far be it — far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
21 Nid felly y mae; ond dyn o fynydd-dir Effraim, o'r enw Seba fab Bichri, sydd wedi codi yn erbyn y Brenin Dafydd; dim ond i chwi ei roi ef imi, fe adawaf y ddinas." Dywedodd y wraig wrth Joab, "Fe deflir ei ben iti dros y mur."
21The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim — Sheba son of Bichri his name — hath lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give ye up him by himself, and I go away from the city.` And the woman saith unto Joab, `Lo, his head is cast unto thee over the wall.`
22 Yna fe aeth y wraig yn ei doethineb at yr holl bobl; torrwyd pen Seba fab Bichri a'i daflu i Joab. Seiniodd yntau'r utgorn, gadawyd y ddinas, a gwasgarodd pawb i'w cartrefi. Dychwelodd Joab i Jerwsalem at y brenin.
22And the woman cometh unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] unto Joab, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and they are scattered from the city, each to his tents, and Joab hath turned back to Jerusalem unto the king.
23 Joab oedd dros holl fyddin Israel, a Benaia fab Jehoiada dros y Cerethiaid a'r Pelethiaid.
23And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
24 Adoram oedd dros y llafur gorfod, a Jehosaffat fab Ahilud oedd y cofiadur.
24and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
25 Sefa oedd yr ysgrifennydd, a Sadoc ac Abiathar yn offeiriaid.
25and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,
26 Yr oedd Ira y Jairiad hefyd yn offeiriad i Ddafydd.
26and also, Ira the Jairite hath been minister to David.
