¹ Aeth yr Israeliaid ymlaen, a gwersyllu yn Jericho yng ngwastadedd Moab, y tu draw i'r Iorddonen.

¹And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho.

² Yr oedd Balac fab Sippor wedi gweld y cyfan a wnaeth Israel i'r Amoriaid,

²And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to the Amorite,

³ a daeth ofn mawr ar Moab am fod yr Israeliaid mor niferus. Yr oedd y Moabiaid yn arswydo rhagddynt,

³and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the people, for it [is] numerous; and Moab is vexed by the presence of the sons of Israel,

⁴ a dywedasant wrth henuriaid Midian, "Bydd y cynulliad hwn yn awr yn llyncu popeth o'n cwmpas, fel y mae'r ych yn llyncu glaswellt y maes." Yr oedd Balac fab Sippor yn frenin Moab ar y pryd,

⁴and Moab saith unto the elders of Midian, `Now doth the assembly lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the green thing of the field.` And Balak son of Zippor [is] king of Moab at that time,

⁵ ac anfonodd ef genhadau at Balaam fab Beor yn Pethor, sydd yng ngwlad Amaw ac ar lan yr Ewffrates, a dweud, "Edrych, daeth pobl allan o'r Aifft, a chartrefu ar hyd a lled y wlad, ac y maent bellach gyferbyn � mi.

⁵and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which [is] by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, `Lo, a people hath come out of Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding over-against me;

⁶ Tyrd, yn awr, a melltithia'r bobl hyn imi, oherwydd y maent yn gryfach na mi; yna, hwyrach y gallaf eu gorchfygu a'u gyrru allan o'r wlad, oherwydd gwn y daw bendith i'r sawl yr wyt ti'n ei fendithio, a melltith i'r sawl yr wyt ti'n ei felltithio."

⁶and now, come, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for it [is] mightier than I; it may be I prevail — we smite it — and I cast it out from the land; for I have known — that which thou blessest is blessed, and that which thou cursest is cursed.`

⁷ Felly aeth henuriaid Moab a Midian at Balaam, gyda'r t�l am ddewino yn eu llaw, a rhoi iddo'r neges oddi wrth Balac.

⁷And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian go, and divinations in their hand, and they come in unto Balaam, and speak unto him the words of Balak,

⁸ Dywedodd Balaam wrthynt, "Arhoswch yma heno; dychwelaf � gair atoch, yn �l fel y bydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi llefaru wrthyf." Felly arhosodd tywysogion Moab gyda Balaam. Yna daeth Duw at Balaam, a gofyn,

⁸and he saith unto them, `Lodge here to-night, and I have brought you back word, as Jehovah speaketh unto me;` and the princes of Moab abide with Balaam.

⁹ "Pwy yw'r dynion hyn sydd gyda thi?"

⁹And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, `Who [are] these men with thee?`

¹⁰ Atebodd Balaam ef, "Anfonodd Balac fab Sippor, brenin Moab, neges ataf yn dweud,

¹⁰And Balaam saith unto God, `Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me:

¹¹ 'Edrych, daeth pobl allan o'r Aifft, a chartrefu ar hyd a lled y wlad; tyrd, yn awr, a melltithia hwy imi; yna hwyrach y gallaf eu gorchfygu a'u gyrru allan.'"

¹¹Lo, the people that is coming out from Egypt and covereth the eye of the land, — now come, pierce it for me; it may be I am able to fight against it, and have cast it out;`

¹² Dywedodd Duw wrth Balaam, "Paid � mynd gyda hwy, na melltithio'r bobl, oherwydd y maent wedi eu bendithio."

¹²and God saith unto Balaam, `Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.`

¹³ Felly cododd Balaam drannoeth, a dweud wrth dywysogion Balac, "Ewch yn �l i'ch gwlad, oherwydd gwrthododd yr ARGLWYDD i mi ddod gyda chwi."

¹³And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the princes of Balak, `Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing to suffer me to go with you;`

¹⁴ Yna cododd tywysogion Moab a mynd at Balac a dweud, "Y mae Balaam yn gwrthod dod gyda ni."

¹⁴and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, `Balaam is refusing to come with us.`

¹⁵ Anfonodd Balac dywysogion eilwaith, ac yr oedd y rhain yn fwy niferus ac anrhydeddus na'r lleill.

¹⁵And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,

¹⁶ Daethant at Balaam a dweud wrtho, "Dyma a ddywed Balac fab Sippor, 'Paid � gadael i ddim dy rwystro rhag dod ataf;

¹⁶and they come in unto Balaam, and say to him, `Thus said Balak son of Zippor, Be not, I pray thee, withheld from coming unto me,

¹⁷ fe ddeliaf yn gwbl anrhydeddus � thi, ac fe wnaf y cyfan a ddywedi wrthyf; felly tyrd, a melltithia'r bobl hyn imi.'"

¹⁷for very greatly I honour thee, and all that thou sayest unto me I do; and come, I pray thee, pierce for me this people.`

¹⁸ Ond dywedodd Balaam wrth weision Balac, "Pe bai Balac yn rhoi imi lond ei du375? o arian ac aur, ni allaf wneud yn groes i'r hyn y bydd yr ARGLWYDD fy Nuw yn ei orchymyn.

¹⁸And Balaam answereth and saith unto the servants of Balak, `If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah my God, to do a little or a great thing;

¹⁹ Yn awr, arhoswch yma heno, er mwyn imi wybod beth arall a ddywed yr ARGLWYDD wrthyf."

¹⁹and, now, abide, I pray you, in this [place], you also, to-night; and I know what Jehovah is adding to speak with me.`

²⁰ Daeth Duw at Balaam liw nos, a dweud wrtho, "Os yw'r dynion wedi dod i'th gyrchu, yna dos gyda hwy; ond paid � gwneud dim heblaw'r hyn a orchmynnaf iti."

²⁰And God cometh in unto Balaam, by night, and saith to him, `If to call for thee the men have come, rise, go with them, and only the thing which I speak unto thee — it thou dost do.`

²¹ Cododd Balaam drannoeth, ac ar �l cyfrwyo ei asen, aeth gyda thywysogion Moab.

²¹And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and goeth with the princes of Moab,

²² Ond digiodd Duw wrtho am fynd, a safodd angel yr ARGLWYDD ar y ffordd i'w rwystro. Fel yr oedd yn marchogaeth ar ei asen, a'i ddau was gydag ef,

²²and the anger of God burneth because he is going, and a messenger of Jehovah stationeth himself in the way for an adversary to him, and he is riding on his ass, and two of his servants [are] with him,

²³ fe welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD yn sefyll ar y ffordd, a chleddyf yn barod yn ei law; felly trodd yr asen oddi ar y ffordd, ac aeth i mewn i gae. Yna trawodd Balaam hi er mwyn ei throi yn �l i'r ffordd.

²³and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turneth aside out of the way, and goeth into a field, and Balaam smiteth the ass to turn it aside into the way.

²⁴ Safodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wedyn ar lwybr yn arwain trwy'r gwinllannoedd, a wal o boptu iddo.

²⁴And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of the vineyards — a wall on this [side] and a wall on that —

²⁵ Pan welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD, gwthiodd yn erbyn y wal, gan wasgu troed Balaam rhyngddi a'r wal.

²⁵and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and is pressed unto the wall, and presseth Balaam`s foot unto the wall, and he addeth to smite her;

²⁶ Felly trawodd Balaam yr asen eilwaith. Yna aeth angel yr ARGLWYDD ymlaen a sefyll mewn lle mor gyfyng fel nad oedd modd troi i'r dde na'r chwith.

²⁶and the messenger of Jehovah addeth to pass over, and standeth in a strait place where there is no way to turn aside — right or left —

²⁷ Pan welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD, gorweddodd dan Balaam; ond gwylltiodd yntau, a tharo'r asen �'i ffon.

²⁷and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and croucheth under Balaam, and the anger of Balaam burneth, and he smiteth the ass with a staff.

²⁸ Yna agorodd yr ARGLWYDD enau'r asen, a pheri iddi ddweud wrth Balaam, "Beth a wneuthum iti, dy fod wedi fy nharo deirgwaith?"

²⁸And Jehovah openeth the mouth of the ass, and she saith to Balaam, `What have I done to thee that thou hast smitten me these three times?`

²⁹ Atebodd Balaam hi, "Fe wnaethost ffu373?l ohonof. Pe bai gennyf gleddyf yn fy llaw, byddwn yn dy ladd."

²⁹and Balaam saith to the ass, `Because thou hast rolled thyself against me; oh that there were a sword in my hand, for now I had slain thee;`

³⁰ Yna gofynnodd yr asen i Balaam, "Onid myfi yw'r asen yr wyt wedi ei marchogaeth trwy gydol dy oes hyd heddiw? A wneuthum y fath beth � thi erioed o'r blaen?" Atebodd yntau, "Naddo."

³⁰and the ass saith unto Balaam, `Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden since [I was] thine unto this day? have I at all been accustomed to do to thee thus?` and he saith, `No.`

³¹ Yna agorodd yr ARGLWYDD lygaid Balaam, a phan welodd ef angel yr ARGLWYDD yn sefyll ar y ffordd, a'i gleddyf yn barod yn ei law, plygodd ei ben ac ymgrymu ar ei wyneb.

³¹And Jehovah uncovereth the eyes of Balaam, and he seeeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and he boweth and doth obeisance, to his face;

³² Dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Pam y trewaist dy asen y teirgwaith hyn? Fe ddeuthum i'th rwystro am dy fod yn rhuthro i fynd o'm blaen,

³²and the messenger of Jehovah saith unto him, `Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? lo, I — I have come out for an adversary, for [thy] way hath been perverse before me,

³³ ond gwelodd dy asen fi, a throi oddi wrthyf deirgwaith. Pe na bai wedi troi oddi wrthyf, buaswn wedi dy ladd di ac arbed dy asen."

³³and the ass seeth me, and turneth aside at my presence these three times; unless she had turned aside from my presence, surely now also, thee I had slain, and her kept alive.`

³⁴ Dywedodd Balaam wrth angel yr ARGLWYDD, "Yr wyf wedi pechu; ni wyddwn dy fod yn sefyll ar y ffordd i'm rhwystro. Yn awr, os yw'r hyn a wneuthum yn ddrwg yn dy olwg, fe ddychwelaf adref."

³⁴And Balaam saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, `I have sinned, for I did not know that thou [art] standing to meet me in the way; and now, if evil in thine eyes — I turn back by myself.`

³⁵ Ond dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrth Balaam, "Dos gyda'r dynion; ond paid � dweud dim heblaw'r hyn a orchmynnaf iti." Felly aeth Balaam yn ei flaen gyda thywysogion Balac.

³⁵And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Balaam, `Go with the men; and only the word which I speak unto thee — it thou dost speak;` and Balaam goeth with the princes of Balak.

³⁶ Pan glywodd Balac fod Balaam yn dod, aeth allan i'w gyfarfod yn Ar yn Moab, ar y ffin bellaf ger afon Arnon.

³⁶And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to meet him, unto a city of Moab, which [is] on the border of Arnon, which [is] in the extremity of the border;

³⁷ Dywedodd Balac wrtho, "Onid anfonais neges atat i'th alw? Pam na ddaethost ataf? Oni allaf ddelio'n anrhydeddus � thi?"

³⁷and Balak saith unto Balaam, `Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?`

³⁸ Atebodd Balaam ef, "Dyma fi wedi dod atat! Yn awr, a yw'r gallu gennyf i lefaru unrhyw beth ohonof fy hun? Ni allaf lefaru ond y gair a roddodd Duw yn fy ngenau."

³⁸And Balaam saith unto Balak, `Lo, I have come unto thee; now — am I at all able to speak anything? the word which God setteth in my mouth — it I do speak.`

³⁹ Felly aeth Balaam gyda Balac, a chyrraedd Ciriath-husoth.

³⁹And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,

⁴⁰ Yna aberthodd Balac wartheg a defaid, a'u hanfon at Balaam a'r tywysogion oedd gydag ef.

⁴⁰and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who [are] with him;

⁴¹ Trannoeth aeth Balac i gyrchu Balaam i fyny i Bamoth-baal, ac oddi yno fe ganfu fod y bobl yn cyrraedd cyn belled ag y gwelai.

⁴¹and it cometh to pass in the morning, that Balak taketh Balaam, and causeth him to go up the high places of Baal, and he seeth from thence the extremity of the people.
