¹ Galwodd gwu375?r Effraim eu milwyr ynghyd a chroesi i Saffon, a dweud wrth Jefftha, "Pam yr aethost i ymladd yn erbyn yr Ammoniaid heb ein gwahodd ni i fynd gyda thi? Fe losgwn dy du375? am dy ben."

¹And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, `Wherefore has thou passed over to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and on us hast not called to go with thee? thy house we burn over thee with fire.`

² Dywedodd Jefftha, "Yr oedd gennyf fi a'm pobl achos chwerw yn erbyn yr Ammoniaid, ond pe byddwn wedi galw arnoch chwi, ni fyddech wedi fy achub o'u llaw.

²And Jephthah saith unto them, `A man of great strife I have been (I and my people) with the Bene-Ammon, and I call you, and ye have not saved me out of their hand,

³ Pan welais na fyddech yn fy achub, mentrais fynd yn erbyn yr Ammoniaid; ac fe roddodd yr ARGLWYDD hwy yn fy llaw. Pam yr ydych wedi dod ataf heddiw i ymladd � mi?"

³and I see that thou art not a saviour, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over unto the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah giveth them into my hand — and why have ye come up unto me this day to fight against me?`

⁴ Yna casglodd Jefftha holl filwyr Gilead at ei gilydd ac ymladd ag Effraim; a threchodd milwyr Gilead bobl Effraim, am iddynt ddweud, "Ff�edigion o Effraim ydych chwi, bobl Gilead, ymysg pobl Effraim a Manasse."

⁴And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fighteth with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead smite Ephraim, because they said, `Fugitives of Ephraim [are] ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim — in the midst of Manasseh.`

⁵ Meddiannodd Gilead y rhydau dros yr Iorddonen i gyfeiriad Effraim, a phan fyddai ffoadur o Effraim yn crefu am gael croesi, byddai dynion Gilead yn gofyn iddo, "Ai un o Effraim wyt ti?" Pe byddai hwnnw'n ateb, "Nage",

⁵And Gilead captureth the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it hath been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say, `Let me pass over,` and the men of Gilead say to him, `An Ephramite thou?` and he saith, `No;`

⁶ yna byddent yn dweud wrtho, "Dywed, 'Shibboleth'." Byddai yntau'n dweud, "Sibboleth", gan na fedrai ynganu'n gywir. Ac wedi iddynt ei ddal, byddent yn ei ladd ger rhydau'r Iorddonen. Bu farw dwy fil a deugain o wu375?r Effraim y pryd hwnnw.

⁶that they say to him, `Say, I pray thee, Shibboleth;` and he saith, `Sibboleth,` and is not prepared to speak right — and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty and two chiefs.

⁷ Bu Jefftha o Gilead yn farnwr ar Israel am chwe blynedd; a phan fu farw, claddwyd ef yn ei dref yn Gilead.
