¹ Unwaith eto enynnodd dicter yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn yr Israeliaid, ac anogodd Ddafydd yn eu herbyn trwy ddweud, "Dos, cyfrifa'r Israeliaid a'r Jwdeaid."

¹And the anger of Jehovah addeth to burn against Israel, and [an adversary] moveth David about them, saying, `Go, number Israel and Judah.`

² Felly fe ddywedodd y brenin wrth Joab, a swyddogion y fyddin oedd gydag ef, "Dos drwy holl lwythau Israel o Dan i Beerseba a chyfrifa'r bobl, er mwyn imi wybod eu nifer."

²And the king saith unto Joab, head of the host that [is] with him, `Go to and fro, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and inspect ye the people — and I have known the number of the people.`

³ Dywedodd Joab wrth y brenin, "Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw luosogi'r bobl ganwaith yr hyn ydynt, ac i tithau, f'arglwydd frenin, ei weld �'th lygaid dy hun; ond pam y mae f'arglwydd frenin �'i fryd ar wneud hyn?"

³And Joab saith unto the king, `Yea, Jehovah thy God doth add unto the people, as they are, a hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of this thing?`

⁴ Ond yr oedd gair y brenin yn drech na Joab a swyddogion y fyddin; felly fe aeth Joab a swyddogion y fyddin allan yn �l gorchymyn y brenin i gyfrif pobl Israel.

⁴And the word of the king is severe towards Joab, and against the heads of the force, and Joab goeth out, and the heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the people, even Israel;

⁵ Wedi croesi'r Iorddonen, dechreusant yn Aroer, i'r de o'r ddinas sydd yng nghanol y dyffryn, yna aethant i Gad, ac ymlaen i Jaser.

⁵and they pass over the Jordan, and encamp in Aroer, on the right of the city that [is] in the midst of the brook of Gad, and unto Jazer,

⁶ Yna daethant i Gilead a gwlad yr Hethiaid, cyn belled � Cades; ac i Dan a Jaan, a chwmpasu at Sidon.

⁶and they come in to Gilead, and unto the land of Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come in to Dan-Jaan, and round about unto Zidon,

⁷ Daethant wedyn at ddinas gaerog Tyrus, a holl drefi'r Hefiaid a'r Canaaneaid, a gorffen yn Negef Jwda, yn Beerseba.

⁷and they come in to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go out unto the south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba.

⁸ Wedi iddynt deithio drwy'r wlad gyfan, daethant yn �l i Jerwsalem ymhen naw mis ac ugain diwrnod.

⁸And they go to and fro through all the land, and come in at the end of nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem,

⁹ Rhoddodd Joab swm cyfrifiad y bobl i'r brenin: yr oedd yn Israel wyth gan mil o wu375?r abl i drin cleddyf, ac yr oedd milwyr Jwda yn bum can mil.

⁹and Joab giveth the account of the inspection of the people unto the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of valour, drawing sword, and the men of Judah five hundred thousand men.

¹⁰ Wedi iddo gyfrif y bobl, pigodd cydwybod Dafydd ef; a dywedodd wrth yr ARGLWYDD, "Pechais yn fawr trwy wneud hyn; am hynny, O ARGLWYDD, maddau i'th was, oherwydd b�m yn ff�l iawn."

¹⁰And the heart of David smiteth him, after that he hath numbered the people, and David saith unto Jehovah, `I have sinned greatly in that which I have done, and now, O Jehovah, cause to pass away, I pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted very foolishly.`

¹¹ Wedi i Ddafydd godi fore trannoeth, daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at y proffwyd Gad, gweledydd Dafydd, gan ddweud,

¹¹And David riseth in the morning, and the word of Jehovah hath been unto Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,

¹² "Dos a dywed wrth Ddafydd, 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Yr wyf yn cynnig tri pheth iti; dewis di un ohonynt, ac fe'i gwnaf iti'."

¹²`Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, Thus said Jehovah: Three — I am lifting up for thee, choose thee one of them, and I do [it] to thee.`

¹³ Daeth Gad at Ddafydd a'i hysbysu a dweud wrtho, "A fynni di dair blynedd o newyn yn dy wlad, ynteu tri mis o ffoi o flaen dy wrthwynebwyr tra byddant yn dy erlid, ynteu tridiau o haint yn dy wlad? Ystyria ac edrych pa ateb a roddaf i'r un a'm hanfonodd."

¹³And Gad cometh in unto David, and declareth to him, and saith to him, `Do seven years of famine come in to thee in thy land? or three months art thou fleeing before thine adversary — and he pursuing thee? or are three days` pestilence in thy land? now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending me.`

¹⁴ Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Gad, "Y mae'n gyfyng iawn arnaf, ond bydded inni syrthio i law'r ARGLWYDD, am fod ei drugareddau'n aml, yn hytrach nag imi syrthio i ddwylo pobl."

¹⁴And David saith unto Gad, `I have great distress, let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for many [are] His mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.`

¹⁵ Felly dewisodd Dafydd yr haint. Yr oedd yn dymor y cynhaeaf gwenith, ac anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD haint ar Israel o'r bore hyd derfyn y cyfnod penodedig. Bu farw deng mil a thrigain o'r bobl o Dan i Beerseba.

¹⁵And Jehovah giveth a pestilence on Israel from the morning even unto the time appointed, and there die of the people, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, seventy thousand men,

¹⁶ Ond pan estynnodd yr angel ei law yn erbyn Jerwsalem i'w dinistrio, edifarhaodd yr ARGLWYDD am y niwed, a dywedodd wrth yr angel oedd yn distrywio'r bobl, "Digon bellach! Atal dy law." Yr oedd angel yr ARGLWYDD yn ymyl llawr dyrnu Arafna y Jebusiad.

¹⁶and the messenger putteth forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who is destroying among the people, `Enough, now, cease thy hand;` and the messenger of Jehovah was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁷ Pan welodd Dafydd yr angel yn taro'r bobl, dywedodd wrth yr ARGLWYDD, "Myfi sydd wedi pechu, a myfi sydd wedi gwneud drwg; ond am y defaid hyn, beth a wnaethant hwy? Bydded dy law yn f'erbyn i a'm teulu."

¹⁷And David speaketh unto Jehovah, when he seeth the messenger who is smiting among the people, and saith, `Lo, I have sinned, yea, I have done perversely; and these — the flock — what have they done? Let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father.`

¹⁸ Daeth Gad at Ddafydd y diwrnod hwnnw a dweud wrtho, "Dos, a chyfod allor i'r ARGLWYDD ar lawr dyrnu Arafna y Jebusiad."

¹⁸And Gad cometh in unto David on that day, and saith to him, `Go up, raise to Jehovah an altar in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite;`

¹⁹ Felly, ar air Gad, fe aeth Dafydd fel y gorchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD.

¹⁹and David goeth up, according to the word of Gad, as Jehovah commanded.

²⁰ Pan edrychodd Arafna a gweld y brenin a'i weision yn dod tuag ato, aeth allan a moesymgrymu i'r brenin �'i wyneb i'r llawr.

²⁰And Araunah looketh, and seeth the king and his servants passing over unto him, and Araunah goeth out and boweth himself to the king — his face to the earth.

²¹ Ac meddai Arafna, "Pam y daeth f'arglwydd frenin at ei was?" Atebodd Dafydd, "I brynu gennyt y llawr dyrnu, i godi allor i'r ARGLWYDD er mwyn atal y pla sydd ar y bobl."

²¹And Araunah saith, `Wherefore hath my lord the king come unto his servant?` and David saith, `To buy from thee the threshing-floor, to build an altar to Jehovah, and the plague is restrained from the people.`

²² Yna dywedodd Arafna wrth Ddafydd, "Cymered f'arglwydd frenin ef ac offrymu'r hyn a fyn; edrych, dyma'r ychen ar gyfer y poethoffrwm, a'r sled ddyrnu ac iau'r ychen yn danwydd."

²²And Araunah saith unto David, `Let my lord the king take and cause to ascend that which is good in his eyes; see, the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the instruments of the oxen, for wood;`

²³ Rhoddodd Arafna'r cwbl i'r brenin, a dweud wrtho, "Bydded yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw yn fodlon arnat."

²³the whole hath Araunah given, [as] a king to a king; and Araunah saith unto the king, `Jehovah thy God doth accept thee.`

²⁴ Ond dywedodd y brenin wrth Arafna, "Na, rhaid imi ei brynu gennyt am bris. Nid wyf am aberthu i'r ARGLWYDD fy Nuw boethoffrwm di-gost." Felly prynodd Dafydd y llawr dyrnu a'r ychen am hanner can sicl o arian;

²⁴And the king saith unto Araunah, `Nay, for I do surely buy from thee for a price, and I do not cause to ascend to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings for nought;` and David buyeth the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver,

²⁵ a chododd yno allor i'r ARGLWYDD, ac aberthu poethoffrymau a heddoffrymau. Der-byniodd yr ARGLWYDD ymbil ar ran y wlad, ac ataliwyd y pla oddi ar Israel.

²⁵and David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and causeth to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and Jehovah is entreated for the land, and the plague is restrained from Israel.
