¹ Aeth angel yr ARGLWYDD i fyny o Gilgal i Bochim, a dywedodd, "Dygais chwi allan o'r Aifft, a dod � chwi i'r wlad a addewais i'ch hynafiaid. Dywedais hefyd, 'Ni thorraf fy nghyfamod � chwi byth;

¹And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,

² peidiwch chwithau � gwneud cyfamod � thrigolion y wlad hon, ond bwriwch i lawr eu hallorau.' Eto nid ydych wedi gwrando arnaf. Pam y gwnaethoch hyn?

²and saith, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye — ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land — their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice — what [is] this ye have done?

³ Yr wyf wedi penderfynu na yrraf hwy allan o'ch blaen, ond byddant yn ddrain yn eich ystlysau, a'u duwiau yn fagl ichwi."

³And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.`

⁴ Pan lefarodd angel yr ARGLWYDD y geiriau hyn wrth yr holl Israeliaid, torrodd y bobl allan i wylo'n uchel.

⁴And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,

⁵ Am hynny enwyd y lle hwnnw Bochim; ac offrymasant yno aberth i'r ARGLWYDD.

⁵and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.

⁶ Gollyngodd Josua y bobl ac aeth pob un o'r Israeliaid i'w etifeddiaeth i gymryd meddiant o'r wlad.

⁶And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;

⁷ Addolodd y bobl yr ARGLWYDD holl ddyddiau Josua, a holl ddyddiau'r henuriaid oedd wedi goroesi Josua ac wedi gweld yr holl waith mawr a wnaeth yr ARGLWYDD dros Israel.

⁷and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.

⁸ Bu farw Josua fab Nun, gwas yr ARGLWYDD, yn gant a deg oed,

⁸And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,

⁹ a chladdwyd ef o fewn terfynau ei etifeddiaeth, yn Timnath-heres ym mynydd-dir Effraim, i'r gogledd o Fynydd Gaas.

⁹and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of mount Gaash;

¹⁰ Casglwyd yr holl genhedlaeth honno at eu hynafiaid, a chododd cenhedlaeth arall ar eu h�l, nad oedd yn adnabod yr ARGLWYDD na chwaith yn gwybod am yr hyn a wnaeth dros Israel.

¹⁰and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.

¹¹ Gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD; aethant i addoli'r Baalim,

¹¹And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,

¹² gan adael yr ARGLWYDD, Duw eu hynafiaid, a'u dygodd allan o wlad yr Aifft, a mynd ar �l duwiau estron o blith duwiau'r cenhedloedd oedd o'u cwmpas, ac ymgrymu iddynt hwy, a digio'r ARGLWYDD.

¹²and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,

¹³ Gadawsant yr ARGLWYDD ac addoli Baal ac Astaroth.

¹³yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.

¹⁴ Cyneuodd llid yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn Israel, a rhoddodd hwy yn llaw rhai a fu'n eu hanrheithio, a gwerthodd hwy i law eu gelynion oddi amgylch, fel nad oeddent bellach yn medru gwrthsefyll eu gelynion.

¹⁴And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;

¹⁵ I ble bynnag yr aent, yr oedd llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn eu herbyn er drwg, fel yr oedd wedi addo a thyngu iddynt. Ac aeth yn gyfyng iawn arnynt.

¹⁵in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed — greatly.

¹⁶ Yna fe gododd yr ARGLWYDD farnwyr a'u hachubodd o law eu hanrheithwyr.

¹⁶And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;

¹⁷ Eto nid oeddent yn gwrando hyd yn oed ar eu barnwyr, ond yn hytrach yn puteinio ar �l duwiau estron ac yn ymgrymu iddynt, gan gefnu'n fuan ar y ffordd a gerddodd eu hynafiaid mewn ufudd-dod i orchmynion yr ARGLWYDD; ni wnaent hwy felly.

¹⁷and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah — they have not done so.

¹⁸ Pan fyddai'r ARGLWYDD yn codi barnwr iddynt, byddai ef gyda'r barnwr ac yn eu gwaredu o law eu gelynion holl ddyddiau y barnwr hwnnw; oherwydd byddai'r ARGLWYDD yn tosturio wrthynt yn eu griddfan o achos eu gormeswyr a'u cystuddwyr.

¹⁸And when Jehovah raised up to them judges — then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.

¹⁹ Eto, pan fyddai farw'r barnwr, yn �l yr aent ac ymddwyn yn fwy llygredig na'u hynafiaid, gan fynd ar �l duwiau estron i'w haddoli ac ymgrymu iddynt, heb roi heibio yr un o'u harferion na'u ffyrdd gwrthnysig.

¹⁹And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge — they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.

²⁰ Cyneuodd llid yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn Israel, a dywedodd, "Am i'r genedl hon droseddu fy nghyfamod a orchmynnais i'w hynafiaid, heb wrando ar fy llais,

²⁰And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, `Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice —

²¹ nid wyf finnau am ddisodli o'u blaen yr un o'r cenhedloedd a adawodd Josua pan fu farw."

²¹I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth,

²² Gadawyd hwy i brofi'r Israeliaid, i weld a fyddent yn cadw ffordd yr ARGLWYDD ai peidio, ac yn rhodio ynddi fel y gwnaeth eu hynafiaid.

²²in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or not.`

²³ Gadawodd yr ARGLWYDD y cenhedloedd hyn heb eu disodli ar unwaith, na'u rhoi yn llaw Josua.

²³And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
