¹ Pan glywodd yr holl frenhinoedd y tu hwnt i'r Iorddonen, yn y mynydd-dir a'r Seffela ac arfordir y M�r Mawr wrth Lebanon, yn Hethiaid, Amoriaid, Canaaneaid, Peresiaid a Jebusiaid,

¹And it cometh to pass, when all the kings who [are] beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in every haven of the great sea, over-against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear —

² daethant ynghyd fel un i ryfela yn erbyn Josua ac Israel.

²that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel — one mouth.

³ Pan glywodd trigolion Gibeon yr hyn yr oedd Josua wedi ei wneud i Jericho ac Ai,

³And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua hath done to Jericho and to Ai,

⁴ dyma hwythau'n gweithredu'n gyfrwys. Aethant a darparu bwyd, a llwytho'u hasynnod � hen sachau, a hen wingrwyn tyllog wedi eu trwsio.

⁴and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up,

⁵ Rhoesant am eu traed hen sandalau wedi eu clytio, a hen ddillad amdanynt; a bara wedi sychu a llwydo oedd eu bwyd.

⁵and sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision is dry — it was crumbs.

⁶ Yna daethant at Josua i wersyll Gilgal, a dweud wrtho ef a phobl Israel, "Yr ydym wedi dod o wlad bell; felly gwnewch gyfamod � ni'n awr."

⁶And they go unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, and say unto him, and unto the men of Israel, `From a land far off we have come, and now, make with us a covenant;`

⁷ Ond meddai pobl Israel wrth yr Hefiaid, "Efallai eich bod yn byw yn ein hymyl, ac os felly, sut y gwnawn ni gyfamod � chwi?"

⁷and the men of Israel say unto the Hivite, `It may be in our midst ye are dwelling, and how do we make with thee a covenant?`

⁸ Dywedasant wrth Josua, "Dy weision di ydym." Pan ofynnodd Josua iddynt, "Pwy ydych, ac o ble y daethoch?",

⁸and they say unto Joshua, `Thy servants we [are].` And Joshua saith unto them, `Who [are] ye? and whence come ye?`

⁹ atebasant, "Y mae dy weision wedi dod o wlad bell iawn o achos enw'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw; oblegid clywsom s�n amdano ef, ac am y cwbl a wnaeth yn yr Aifft,

⁹And they say unto him, `From a land very far off have thy servants come, for the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have heard His fame, and all that He hath done in Egypt,

¹⁰ ac i ddau frenin yr Amoriaid y tu hwnt i'r Iorddonen, Sehon brenin Hesbon ac Og brenin Basan, a drigai yn Astaroth.

¹⁰and all that He hath done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [is] in Ashtaroth.

¹¹ Am hynny dywedodd ein henuriaid a holl drigolion ein gwlad wrthym, 'Cymerwch fwyd ar gyfer y daith ac ewch i'w cyfarfod, a dywedwch wrthynt, "Eich gweision ydym; felly'n awr gwnewch gyfamod � ni."'

¹¹`And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land speak unto us, saying, Take in your hand provision for the way, and go to meet them, and ye have said unto them, Your servants we [are], and now, make with us a covenant;

¹² Dyma'n bara; yr oedd yn boeth pan oeddem yn darparu i fynd oddi cartref, y diwrnod yr oeddem yn cychwyn i ddod atoch. Edrychwch fel y mae'n awr wedi sychu a llwydo.

¹²this our bread — hot we provided ourselves with it out of our houses, on the day of our coming out to go unto you, and now, lo, it is dry, and hath been crumbs;

¹³ A dyma'r gwingrwyn oedd yn newydd pan lanwasom hwy; edrychwch, y maent wedi rhwygo. A dyma'n dillad a'n sandalau wedi treulio gan bellter mawr y daith."

¹³and these [are] the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.`

¹⁴ Cymerodd pobl Israel beth o'u bwyd heb ymgynghori �'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁴And the men take of their provision, and the mouth of Jehovah have not asked;

¹⁵ Gwnaeth Josua heddwch � hwy, a gwneud cyfamod i'w harbed, a thyngodd arweinwyr y gynulleidfa iddynt.

¹⁵and Joshua maketh with them peace, and maketh with them a covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes of the company.

¹⁶ Ymhen tridiau wedi iddynt wneud y cyfamod � hwy, clywsant mai cymdogion yn byw yn eu hymyl oeddent.

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days after that they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they [are] their neighbours — that in their midst they are dwelling.

¹⁷ Wrth i'r Israeliaid deithio ymlaen, daethant ar y trydydd dydd i'w trefi hwy, Gibeon, Ceffira, Beeroth a Ciriath-jearim.

¹⁷And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their cities on the third day — and their cities [are] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim —

¹⁸ Ond nid ymosododd yr Israeliaid arnynt, oherwydd bod arweinwyr y gynulleidfa wedi tyngu iddynt yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, er i'r holl gynulleidfa rwgnach yn erbyn yr arweinwyr.

¹⁸and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to them have the princes of the company by Jehovah God of Israel, and all the company murmur against the princes.

¹⁹ Ond dywedodd yr holl arweinwyr wrth y gynulleidfa gyfan, "Yr ydym ni wedi tyngu iddynt yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, ac yn awr ni allwn gyffwrdd � hwy.

¹⁹And all the princes say unto all the company, `We — we have sworn to them by Jehovah, God of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;

²⁰ Dyma a wnawn iddynt: arbedwn eu bywydau, rhag i ddigofaint ddisgyn arnom oherwydd y llw a dyngasom."

²⁰this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.`

²¹ Ac meddai'r arweinwyr wrthynt, "C�nt fyw, er mwyn iddynt dorri coed a thynnu du373?r i'r holl gynulleidfa." Cytunodd yr holl gynulleidfa �'r hyn a ddywedodd yr arweinwyr.

²¹And the princes say unto them, `They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the princes spake to them.`

²² Galwodd Josua arnynt a dweud wrthynt, "Pam y bu ichwi ein twyllo a honni eich bod yn byw yn bell iawn i ffwrdd oddi wrthym, a chwithau'n byw yn ein hymyl?

²²And Joshua calleth for them, and speaketh unto them, saying, `Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, and ye in our midst dwelling?

²³ Yn awr yr ydych dan y felltith hon: bydd gweision o'ch plith yn barhaol yn torri coed ac yn tynnu du373?r ar gyfer tu375? fy Nuw."

²³and now, cursed are ye, and none of you is cut off [from being] a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.`

²⁴ Atebasant Josua fel hyn: "Fe ddywedwyd yn glir wrthym ni, dy weision, fod yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw wedi gorchymyn i'w was Moses roi i chwi y wlad gyfan, a distrywio o'ch blaen ei holl drigolion; am hynny yr oedd arnom ofn mawr am ein heinioes o'ch plegid, a dyna pam y gwnaethom hyn.

²⁴And they answer Joshua and say, `Because it was certainly declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;

²⁵ Yr ydym yn awr yn dy law; gwna inni yr hyn yr wyt ti'n ei dybio sy'n iawn."

²⁵and now, lo, we [are] in thy hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in thine eyes to do to us — do.`

²⁶ A dyna a wnaeth Josua iddynt y diwrnod hwnnw: fe'u hachubodd o law'r Israeliaid rhag iddynt eu lladd,

²⁶And he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;

²⁷ a'u gosod i dorri coed ac i dynnu du373?r i'r gynulleidfa ar gyfer allor yr ARGLWYDD yn y lle a ddewisai ef; ac felly y maent hyd heddiw.

²⁷and Joshua maketh them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, at the place which He doth choose.
