¹ Pan glywodd mab Saul fod Abner wedi marw yn Hebron, digalonnodd, ac yr oedd Israel gyfan mewn dryswch.

¹And the son of Saul heareth that Abner [is] dead in Hebron, and his hands are feeble, and all Israel have been troubled.

² Yr oedd gan fab Saul ddau ddyn yn benaethiaid ar finteioedd; Baana oedd enw un a Rechab oedd enw'r llall. Meibion i Rimmon o Beeroth oeddent, ac aelodau o lwyth Benjamin.

²And two men, heads of troops, have been [to] the son of Saul, the name of the one [is] Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for also Beeroth is reckoned to Benjamin,

³ Ystyrid bod Beeroth yn perthyn i Benjamin, er bod trigolion Beeroth wedi ffoi i Gittaim ac wedi aros yno hyd heddiw fel dyfodiaid.

³and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are there sojourners unto this day.

⁴ Yr oedd mab gan Jonathan fab Saul oedd yn gloff yn ei draed. Pum mlwydd oed ydoedd pan ddaeth y newydd o Jesreel am Saul a Jonathan; cododd ei famaeth ef a ffoi, ond wrth iddi frysio i ffoi, fe syrthiodd ef a chael ei gloffi. Meffiboseth oedd ei enw.

⁴And to Jonathan son of Saul [is] a son — lame; he was a son of five years at the coming in of the rumour of [the death of] Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifteth him up, and fleeth, and it cometh to pass in her hasting to flee, that he falleth, and becometh lame, and his name [is] Mephibosheth.

⁵ Aeth Rechab a Baana, meibion Rimmon o Beeroth, i du375? Isboseth yng ngwres y dydd, tra oedd ef yn gorffwys ganol dydd.

⁵And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, go, and come in at the heat of the day unto the house of Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down — the lying down of noon;

⁶ Yr oedd y wraig a oedd yn cadw drws y tu375? wedi bod yn glanhau gwenith, ond yr oedd wedi hepian a chysgu, a llithrodd Rechab a'i frawd heibio iddi.

⁶and thither they have come, unto the midst of the house, taking wheat, and they smite him unto the fifth [rib], and Rechab and Baanah his brother have escaped;

⁷ Pan ddaethant i'r tu375?, yr oedd ef yn gorwedd ar ei wely yn ei ystafell gysgu, a thrawsant ef yn farw a thorri ei ben i ffwrdd, ac yna cymryd ei ben a mynd drwy'r nos ar hyd ffordd yr Araba.

⁷yea, they come in to the house, and he is lying on his bed, in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they smite him, and put him to death, and turn aside his head, and they take his head, and go the way of the plain all the night,

⁸ Daethant � phen Isboseth at Ddafydd i Hebron, a dweud wrth y brenin, "Dyma ben Isboseth, mab Saul, dy elyn oedd yn ceisio dy fywyd. Rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD ddial heddiw i'n harglwydd frenin ar Saul a'i blant."

⁸and bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth unto David in Hebron, and say unto the king, `Lo, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life; and Jehovah doth give to my lord the king vengeance this day, of Saul and of his seed.`

⁹ Ond atebodd Dafydd Rechab a'i frawd Baana, meibion Rimmon o Beeroth, a dweud, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD, a'm gwaredodd o bob cyfyngdra, yn fyw,

⁹And David answereth Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saith to them, `Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

¹⁰ pan ddaeth un i'm hysbysu fod Saul wedi marw, gan dybio'i fod yn dwyn newydd da, fe gydiais ynddo a'i ladd yn Siclag; dyna a roddais i hwnnw am ei newyddion!

¹⁰when one is declaring to me, saying, Lo, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him [for] the tidings.

¹¹ Pa faint mwy pan fo dynion drwg wedi lladd dyn cyfiawn yn ei gartref, ar ei wely? Oni fyddaf yn awr yn ceisio iawn am ei waed oddi ar eich llaw chwi, a'ch difa oddi ar y ddaear?"

¹¹Also — when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his own house, on his bed; and now, do not I require his blood of your hand, and have taken you away from the earth?`

¹² Rhoddodd Dafydd orchymyn i'w lanciau, a lladdasant hwy, a thorri eu dwylo a'u traed i ffwrdd, a'u crogi wrth y pwll yn Hebron. Yna cymerwyd pen Isboseth a'i gladdu ym meddrod Abner yn Hebron.

¹²And David commandeth the young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hang [them] over the pool in Hebron, and the head of Ish-Bosheth they have taken, and bury [it] in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron.
