¹ Wedi hyn darparodd Absalom iddo'i hun gerbyd a meirch, a hanner cant o ddynion i redeg o'i flaen.

¹And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

² Codai'n fore, a sefyll ar ochr y ffordd at borth y ddinas, a phan fyddai unrhyw un yn dod ag achos at y brenin am ddedfryd, byddai Absalom yn ei alw ato ac yn holi, "O ba dref yr wyt ti?" A byddai hwnnw'n ateb, "O un o lwythau Israel y mae dy was."

²And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

³ Yna byddai Absalom yn dweud, "Edrych, y mae dy achos yn un da a chryf, ond ni chei wrandawiad gan y brenin."

³And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.

⁴ Ac ychwanegai Absalom, "O na fyddwn i yn cael fy ngosod yn farnwr dros y wlad! Yna byddai pob un � chu373?yn neu achos ganddo yn dod ataf fi, a byddwn i yn sicrhau cyfiawnder iddo."

⁴Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

⁵ Pan fyddai unrhyw un yn agos�u i ymgrymu iddo, byddai ef yn estyn ei law, yn gafael ynddo ac yn ei gusanu.

⁵And it was so, that, when any man came nigh to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.

⁶ Fel hyn y byddai Absalom yn ymddwyn tuag at bob Israeliad oedd yn dod at y brenin am ddedfryd, a denodd fryd pobl Israel.

⁶And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

⁷ Wedi pedair blynedd dywedodd Absalom wrth y brenin, "Gad imi fynd i Hebron a thalu'r adduned a wneuthum i'r ARGLWYDD;

⁷And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto Jehovah, in Hebron.

⁸ oherwydd pan oeddwn yn byw yn Gesur yn Syria, gwnaeth dy was yr adduned hon, 'Os byth y daw'r ARGLWYDD � mi yn �l i Jerwsalem, fe addolaf yr ARGLWYDD.'"

⁸For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah.

⁹ Dywedodd y brenin, "Dos mewn heddwch!" Aeth yntau i ffwrdd i Hebron.

⁹And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.

¹⁰ Yr oedd Absalom wedi anfon negeswyr drwy holl lwythau Israel a dweud wrthynt, "Pan glywch sain yr utgorn, cyhoeddwch, 'Y mae Absalom wedi dod yn frenin yn Hebron.'"

¹⁰But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

¹¹ Aeth deucant o wu375?r gydag Absalom o Jerwsalem; yr oeddent wedi eu gwahodd, ac yn mynd yn gwbl ddiniwed, heb wybod dim byd.

¹¹And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they knew not anything.

¹² Anfonodd Absalom hefyd am Ahitoffel y Giloniad, cynghorydd Dafydd, i ddod o'i dref, Gilo, i fod gydag ef wrth offrymu'r ebyrth. Yr oedd y cynllwyn yn cynyddu, a'r bobl oedd o blaid Absalom yn dal i amlhau.

¹²And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.

¹³ Daeth rhywun a dweud wrth Ddafydd fod bryd pobl Israel ar Absalom,

¹³And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.

¹⁴ a dywedodd Dafydd wrth ei holl weision oedd gydag ef yn Jerwsalem, "Codwch, inni gael ffoi; onid e, ni fydd modd inni ddianc rhag Absalom; brysiwch oddi yma rhag iddo ef ymosod yn sydyn arnom a pheri niwed inni, a tharo'r ddinas �'r cleddyf."

¹⁴And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

¹⁵ Dywedodd gweision y brenin wrtho, "Beth bynnag yw penderfyniad ein harglwydd frenin, y mae dy weision yn barod."

¹⁵And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose.

¹⁶ Yna ymadawodd y brenin, a'i deulu i gyd yn ei ganlyn, gan adael deg o'r gordderchwragedd i ofalu am y tu375?.

¹⁶And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, that were concubines, to keep the house.

¹⁷ Wedi i'r brenin a'r holl fintai oedd yn ei ganlyn fynd allan, safodd ger y tu375? pellaf.

¹⁷And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak.

¹⁸ A safodd ei weision gerllaw iddo, tra oedd y Cerethiaid a'r Pelethiaid i gyd, a'r holl Gethiaid, sef y chwe chant o wu375?r oedd wedi dod o Gath i'w ganlyn, yn croesi gerbron y brenin.

¹⁸And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.

¹⁹ Gofynnodd y brenin i Itai y Gethiad, "Pam yr wyt ti'n dod gyda ni? Dos yn �l ac aros gyda'r brenin newydd, oherwydd dieithryn wyt ti, ac alltud oddi cartref.

¹⁹Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile; [return] to thine own place.

²⁰ Ddoe y daethost ti; a wnaf fi iti grwydro heddiw gyda ni ar daith, a minnau heb wybod i ble'r wyf yn mynd? Dos yn �l, a dos �'th gymrodyr gyda thi; a bydded i'r ARGLWYDD ddangos iti drugaredd a ffyddlondeb."

²⁰Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren; mercy and truth be with thee.

²¹ Atebodd Itai a dweud wrth y brenin, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, a thithau hefyd, f'arglwydd frenin, ple bynnag yr � f'arglwydd frenin, i farw neu i fyw, yno'n sicr y bydd dy was hefyd."

²¹And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be.

²² Yna dywedodd Dafydd wrth Itai, "Dos ymlaen, ynteu." Felly aeth Itai y Gethiad yn ei flaen, a'i holl bobl a'r holl blant oedd gydag ef.

²²And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.

²³ Yr oedd su373?n wylo mawr trwy'r holl wlad pan oedd y bobl yn croesi. Safodd y brenin wrth nant Cidron nes i'r bobl i gyd fynd drosodd i gyfeiriad yr anialwch.

²³And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

²⁴ Yr oedd Sadoc yno hefyd, a'r holl Lefiaid oedd gydag ef yn cario arch cyfamod Duw. Wedi iddynt osod arch Duw i lawr, bu Abiathar yn offrymu nes i'r bobl i gyd ymadael �'r ddinas.

²⁴And, lo, Zadok also [came], and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.

²⁵ Yna dywedodd y brenin wrth Sadoc, "Dos ag arch Duw yn �l i'r ddinas; os caf ffafr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, fe ddaw � mi yn �l, a gadael imi ei gweld hi a'i chartref.

²⁵And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:

²⁶ Ond os dywed fel hyn, 'Nid oes arnaf d'eisiau,' dyma fi; caiff wneud fel y myn � mi."

²⁶but if he say thus, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.

²⁷ Hefyd dywedodd y brenin wrth Sadoc yr offeiriad, "Edrych, fe elli di ac Abiathar ddychwelyd yn ddiogel i'r ddinas, a'ch dau fab gyda chwi, Ahimaas dy fab di a Jonathan, mab Abiathar.

²⁷The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art thou [not] a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

²⁸ Edrychwch, fe oedaf wrth rydau'r anialwch hyd nes y caf air oddi wrthych i'm hysbysu."

²⁸See, I will tarry at the fords of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.

²⁹ Felly dygodd Sadoc ac Abiathar arch Duw yn �l i Jerwsalem, ac aros yno.

²⁹Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they abode there.

³⁰ Dringodd Dafydd lethr Mynydd yr Olewydd dan wylo a chuddio'i ben a cherdded yn droednoeth. Yr oedd yr holl bobl oedd gydag ef hefyd yn dringo gan guddio'u pennau ac wylo.

³⁰And David went up by the ascent of the [mount of] Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.

³¹ Dywedwyd wrth Ddafydd fod Ahitoffel ymysg y cynllwynwyr gydag Absalom, a gwedd�odd Dafydd, "O ARGLWYDD, tro gyngor Ahitoffel yn ffolineb."

³¹And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

³² Pan gyrhaeddodd Dafydd y copa, lle byddid yn addoli Duw, dyma Husai yr Arciad yn dod i'w gyfarfod �'i fantell wedi ei rhwygo a phridd ar ei ben.

³²And it came to pass, that, when David was come to the top [of the ascent], where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.

³³ Meddai Dafydd wrtho, "Os doi di gyda mi, byddi'n faich arnaf;

³³And David said unto him, If thou passest on with me, then thou wilt be a burden unto me:

³⁴ ond os ei di'n �l i'r ddinas a dweud wrth Absalom, 'Dy was di wyf fi, f'arglwydd frenin; gwas dy dad oeddwn gynt, ond dy was di wyf yn awr', yna gelli ddrysu cyngor Ahitoffel drosof.

³⁴but if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant; then wilt thou defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

³⁵ Bydd gennyt yr offeiriaid Sadoc ac Abiathar gyda thi yno; yr wyt i ddweud wrthynt hwy bob gair a glywi o du375?'r brenin,

³⁵And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

³⁶ oherwydd y mae'r ddau fachgen, Ahimaas fab Sadoc a Jonathan fab Abiathar, yno gyda hwy, ac fe gewch anfon ataf trwyddynt hwy bob dim a glywch."

³⁶Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me everything that ye shall hear.

³⁷ Daeth Husai, cyfaill Dafydd, i'r ddinas fel yr oedd Absalom yn cyrraedd Jerwsalem.

³⁷So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
