¹ Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua, "Paid ag ofni nac arswydo; cymer y rhyfelwyr i gyd gyda thi, a dos i fyny at Ai. Edrych, yr wyf wedi rhoi yn dy law frenin Ai gyda'i bobl, ei ddinas a'i dir.

¹And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Fear not, nor be affrighted, take with thee all the people of war, and rise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land,

² Gwna i Ai a'i brenin fel y gwnaethost i Jericho a'i brenin, ond cewch gadw ei hanrhaith a'i hanifeiliaid hi yn ysbail i chwi eich hunain. Gosod iti filwyr ynghudd y tu cefn i'r ddinas."

²and thou hast done to Ai and to her king as thou hast done to Jericho and to her king; only, its spoil and its cattle ye spoil for yourselves; set for thee an ambush for the city at its rear.`

³ Cychwynnodd Josua a'r holl fyddin i fyny yn erbyn Ai; a dewisodd Josua ddeng mil ar hugain o ryfelwyr dewr, a'u hanfon ymlaen liw nos.

³And Joshua riseth, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai, and Joshua chooseth thirty thousand men, mighty ones of valour, and sendeth them away by night,

⁴ Yna gorchmynnodd iddynt fel hyn: "Edrychwch, yr ydych i guddio o olwg y ddinas, y tu cefn iddi; ond peidiwch � mynd yn rhy bell oddi wrthi, a byddwch i gyd yn barod.

⁴and commandeth them, saying, `See, ye are liers in wait against the city, at the rear of the city, ye go not very far off from the city, and all of you have been prepared,

⁵ Byddaf fi a'r holl fyddin sydd gyda mi yn agos�u at y ddinas, a phan dd�nt allan i ymosod arnom fel y tro cyntaf, yna byddwn yn ffoi o'u blaen.

⁵and I and all the people who [are] with me draw near unto the city, and it hath come to pass when they come out to meet us as at the first, and we have fled before them,

⁶ Fe dd�nt hwythau ar ein h�l nes inni eu denu hwy o'r ddinas, gan feddwl ein bod yn ffoi o'u blaen fel y gwnaethom y tro cynt.

⁶and they have come out after us till we have drawn them out of the city, for they say, They are fleeing before us as at the first, and we have fled before them,

⁷ Codwch chwithau o'ch cuddfan a meddiannu'r dref, oherwydd bydd yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw yn ei rhoi yn eich llaw.

⁷and ye rise from the ambush, and have occupied the city, and Jehovah your God hath given it into your hand;

⁸ Wedi ichwi oresgyn y dref, llosgwch hi � th�n. Gwnewch yn �l gair yr ARGLWYDD; edrychwch, dyma fy ngorchymyn i chwi."

⁸and it hath been, when ye capture the city, ye burn the city with fire, according to the word of Jehovah ye do, see, I have commanded you.`

⁹ Wedi i Josua eu hanfon ymaith, aethant i guddfan a'u gosod eu hunain rhwng Bethel ac Ai, i'r gorllewin o Ai. Treuliodd Josua'r noson honno gyda'r fyddin.

⁹And Joshua sendeth them away, and they go unto the ambush, and abide between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai; and Joshua lodgeth on that night in the midst of the people.

¹⁰ Cododd Josua a'r henuriaid yn fore drannoeth a chynnull y fyddin a'i harwain tuag Ai.

¹⁰And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and inspecteth the people, and goeth up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai;

¹¹ Aeth yr holl fyddin oedd gydag ef i fyny, a nes�u at ymyl y dref a gwersyllu i'r gogledd iddi, gyda dyffryn rhyngddynt hwy ac Ai.

¹¹and all the people of war who [are] with him have gone up, and draw nigh and come in over-against the city, and encamp on the north of Ai; and the valley [is] between him and Ai.

¹² Yr oedd wedi dewis tua phum mil o wu375?r ac wedi eu rhoi i guddio rhwng Bethel ac Ai i'r gorllewin o'r dref.

¹²And he taketh about five thousand men, and setteth them an ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city;

¹³ Yr oedd crynswth y fyddin yn gwersyllu i'r gogledd o'r dref a'r milwyr cudd i'r gorllewin o'r dref; treuliodd Josua y noson honno ar lawr y dyffryn.

¹³and they set the people, all the camp which [is] on the north of the city, and its rear on the west of the city, and Joshua goeth on that night into the midst of the valley.

¹⁴ Pan welodd brenin Ai hwy, brysiodd ef a dynion y dref yn gynnar yn y bore i fynd allan gyda'r holl fyddin i gyfarfod Israel mewn brwydr ar lecyn yn wynebu'r Araba, heb wybod bod milwyr yn llechu y tu �l i'r dref.

¹⁴And it cometh to pass, when the king of Ai seeth [it], that hasten, and rise early, and go out do the men of the city to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at the appointed season, at the front of the plain, and he hath not known that an ambush [is] against him, on the rear of the city.

¹⁵ Ffodd Josua a'r Israeliaid oll i gyfeiriad yr anialwch, fel pe baent wedi eu taro ganddynt.

¹⁵And Joshua and all Israel [seem] stricken before them, and flee the way of the wilderness,

¹⁶ Galwyd yr holl bobl oedd yn y dref i ymlid ar eu h�l; ac wrth iddynt ymlid ar �l Josua, fe'u denwyd i ffwrdd o'r dref.

¹⁶and all the people who [are] in the city are called to pursue after them, and they pursue after Joshua, and are drawn away out of the city,

¹⁷ Nid oedd neb ar �l yn Ai na Bethel heb fynd allan ar �l Israel; gadawsant y dref yn benagored a mynd i ymlid yr Israeliaid.

¹⁷and there hath not been left a man in Ai and Bethel who hath not gone out after Israel, and they leave the city open, and pursue after Israel.

¹⁸ Yna dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua, "Estyn y waywffon sydd yn dy law tuag Ai, oherwydd yr wyf am roi'r dref yn dy law."

¹⁸And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Stretch out with the javelin which [is] in thy hand towards Ai, for into thy hand I give it;` and Joshua stretcheth out with the javelin which [is] in his hand toward the city,

¹⁹ Estynnodd Josua'r waywffon oedd yn ei law tua'r dref; ac fel yr estynnai ei law, cododd y milwyr cudd o'u lle ar unwaith, a rhuthro i mewn i'r dref a'i chipio, a llosgi'r dref heb oedi dim.

¹⁹and the ambush hath risen [with] haste, out of its place, and they run at the stretching out of his hand, and go into the city, and capture it, and hasten, and burn the city with fire.

²⁰ Pan drodd dynion Ai ac edrych yn eu h�l, gwelsant fwg y dref yn esgyn i'r awyr, ond ni allent ffoi nac yma nac acw, gan fod y fyddin a fu'n ffoi tua'r anialwch wedi troi i wynebu ei herlidwyr;

²⁰And the men of Ai look behind them, and see, and lo, the smoke of the city hath gone up unto the heavens, and there hath not been in them power to flee hither and thither — and the people who are fleeing to the wilderness have turned against the pursuer, —

²¹ oherwydd pan welodd Josua a holl Israel fod y milwyr cudd wedi cipio'r dref, a bod mwg yn codi ohoni, troesant yn eu h�l ac ymosod ar ddynion Ai.

²¹and Joshua and all Israel have seen that the ambush hath captured the city, and that the smoke of the city hath gone up, and they turn back and smite the men of Ai;

²² Daeth y lleill allan o'r dref i'w cyfarfod, ac felly'r oeddent yn y canol rhwng dwy garfan o Israeliaid; trawyd hwy heb i neb gael ei arbed na dianc.

²²and these have come out from the city to meet them, and they are in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that, and they smite them till he hath not left to them a remnant and escaped one;

²³ Daliwyd brenin Ai yn fyw, a daethant ag ef gerbron Josua.

²³and the king of Ai they caught alive, and bring him near unto Joshua.

²⁴ Wedi i'r Israeliaid ladd holl drigolion Ai oedd allan yn yr anialwch, lle'r oeddent wedi eu hymlid, a phob un ohonynt wedi syrthio dan fin y cleddyf nes eu difa'n llwyr, yna dychwelodd Israel gyfan i Ai, a'i tharo �'r cleddyf.

²⁴And it cometh to pass, at Israel`s finishing to slay all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them (and they fall all of them by the mouth of the sword till their consumption), that all Israel turn back to Ai, and smite it by the mouth of the sword;

²⁵ Nifer y rhai a syrthiodd y diwrnod hwnnw oedd deuddeng mil, yn wu375?r a gwragedd, sef holl boblogaeth Ai.

²⁵and all who fall during the day, of men and of women, are twelve thousand — all men of Ai.

²⁶ Ni thynnodd Josua'n �l y llaw oedd yn dal y waywffon nes difa holl drigolion Ai.

²⁶And Joshua hath not brought back his hand which he stretched out with the javelin till that he hath devoted all the inhabitants of Ai;

²⁷ Dim ond y gwartheg ac anrhaith y dref a gymerodd yr Israeliaid yn ysbail iddynt eu hunain, yn �l gorchymyn yr ARGLWYDD i Josua.

²⁷only, the cattle and the spoil of that city have Israel spoiled for themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which He commanded Joshua.

²⁸ Llosgodd Josua Ai a'i gadael yn domen barhaol a erys yn ddiffaith hyd heddiw.

²⁸And Joshua burneth Ai, and maketh it a heap age-during — a desolation unto this day;

²⁹ Crogodd frenin Ai ar grocbren hyd yr hwyr, ac ar fachlud yr haul gorchmynnodd Josua iddynt dynnu ei gorff i lawr o'r crocbren a'i daflu ger y fynedfa i'r dref; codwyd carnedd fawr o gerrig drosto, sydd yno hyd heddiw.

²⁹and the king of Ai he hath hanged on the tree till even-time, and at the going in of the sun hath Joshua commanded, and they take down his carcase from the tree, and cast it unto the opening of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones till this day.

³⁰ Yna cododd Josua allor i'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, ym Mynydd Ebal.

³⁰Then doth Joshua build an altar to Jehovah, God of Israel, in mount Ebal,

³¹ Fel yr oedd Moses gwas yr ARGLWYDD wedi gorchymyn i'r Israeliaid, ac fel sy'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr cyfraith Moses, yr oedd yr allor wedi ei hadeiladu o gerrig heb eu naddu na'u trin � haearn. Ac offrymasant arni boethoffrymau i'r ARGLWYDD, ac aberthu heddoffrymau.

³¹as Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses — an altar of whole stones, over which he hath not waved iron — and they cause to go up upon it burnt-offerings to Jehovah, and sacrifice peace-offerings;

³² Yno yng ngu373?ydd yr Israeliaid ysgrifennodd ar feini gopi o gyfraith Moses.

³²and he writeth there on the stones the copy of the law of Moses, which he hath written in the presence of the sons of Israel.

³³ Yr oedd Israel gyfan � ei henuriaid, ei swyddogion, a'i barnwyr � yn sefyll o boptu'r arch, gerbron yr offeiriaid, sef y Lefiaid oedd yn cludo arch cyfamod yr ARGLWYDD. Yr oedd estron a brodor fel ei gilydd yno, hanner ohonynt ar bwys Mynydd Garisim, a hanner ar bwys Mynydd Ebal, fel yr oedd Moses gwas yr ARGLWYDD wedi gorchymyn yn y dechrau ar gyfer bendithio pobl Israel.

³³And all Israel, and its elders, and authorities, and its judges, are standing on this side and on that of the ark, over-against the priests, the Levites, bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the native, half of them over-against mount Gerizim, and the half of them over-against mount Ebal, as Moses servant of Jehovah commanded to bless the people of Israel at the first.

³⁴ Wedi hynny darllenodd Josua holl eiriau'r gyfraith, y fendith a'r felltith, fel sy'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr y gyfraith.

³⁴And afterwards he hath proclaimed all the words of the law, the blessing and the reviling, according to all that is written in the book of the law;

³⁵ Ni adawodd Josua air o'r cyfan a orchmynnodd Moses heb ei ddarllen gerbron holl gynulleidfa Israel, gan gynnwys y gwragedd a'r plant a'r estron oedd yn aros yn eu mysg.

³⁵there hath not been a thing of all that Moses commanded which Joshua hath not proclaimed before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the infants, and the sojourner who is going in their midst.
