¹ Yna dywedodd Ahitoffel wrth Absalom, "Gad imi ddewis deuddeng mil o ddynion a mynd ar �l Dafydd heno.

¹Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:

² Dof ar ei warthaf pan fydd yn lluddedig a diymadferth, a chodaf arswyd arno, nes bod pawb sydd gydag ef yn ffoi; ni laddaf neb ond y brenin,

²and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;

³ a dof �'r holl bobl yn �l atat fel priodferch yn dod adref at ei phriod. Bywyd un yn unig sydd arnat ei eisiau; caiff gweddill y bobl lonydd."

³and I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in peace.

⁴ Yr oedd Absalom a holl henuriaid Israel yn gweld hwn yn gyngor da,

⁴And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.

⁵ ond dywedodd Absalom, "Galwch Husai yr Arciad hefyd er mwyn inni glywed beth sydd ganddo yntau i'w ddweud."

⁵Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.

⁶ Wedi i Husai gyrraedd, dywedodd Absalom wrtho, "Dyma sut y cynghorodd Ahitoffel. A ddylem dderbyn ei gyngor? Onid e, rho di dy gyngor."

⁶And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? if not, speak thou.

⁷ Dywedodd Husai wrth Absalom, "Nid yw'r cyngor a roddodd Ahitoffel y tro hwn yn un da."

⁷And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good.

⁸ Aeth Husai ymlaen, "Yr wyt ti'n adnabod dy dad a'i ddynion: y maent yn filwyr profiadol, ac mor filain ag arth wyllt wedi ei hamddifadu o'i chenawon; hefyd, y mae dy dad yn gynefin � rhyfela, ni fydd ef yn treulio'r nos gyda'r fyddin, ac y mae eisoes wedi ymguddio mewn ogof neu ryw lecyn arall.

⁸Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

⁹ Pan leddir rhywrai o blith dy filwyr ar y dechrau, bydd pwy bynnag a fydd yn clywed y newydd yn meddwl bod cyflafan wedi digwydd ymysg y rhai sy'n dilyn Absalom.

⁹Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it will come to pass, when some of them are fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.

¹⁰ Yna fe fydd ysbryd y cryfaf, yr un � chalon fel llew, yn darfod yn llwyr, oherwydd y mae Israel gyfan yn gwybod mai milwr dewr yw dy dad, a bod dynion grymus gydag ef.

¹⁰And even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.

¹¹ Yr wyf fi am dy gynghori i gasglu atat Israel gyfan o Dan i Beerseba, mor niferus � thywod glan y m�r, a bod i tithau'n bersonol fynd gyda hwy i'r frwydr.

¹¹But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.

¹² Ac fe ddown ar ei warthaf, ym mha le bynnag y ceir ef; disgynnwn arno fel gwlith yn syrthio ar y ddaear, ac ni adewir dim un ohonynt, ef na'r dynion sydd gydag ef.

¹²So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave so much as one.

¹³ Ac os digwydd iddo ddianc i ryw ddinas, bydd Israel gyfan yn taflu rhaffau am y ddinas honno a byddwn yn ei llusgo i'r ceunant, heb adael y garreg leiaf ohoni ar �l."

¹³Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.

¹⁴ Dywedodd Absalom a'r holl Israeliaid, "Y mae cyngor Husai yr Arciad yn well na chyngor Ahitoffel." Yr ARGLWYDD oedd wedi peri drysu cyngor da Ahitoffel, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD ddwyn dinistr ar Absalom.

¹⁴And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For Jehovah had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.

¹⁵ Dywedodd Husai wrth yr offeiriaid Sadoc ac Abiathar, "Fel hyn ac fel hyn yr oedd cyngor Ahitoffel i Absalom a henuriaid Israel; ac fel hyn ac fel hyn y cynghorais innau.

¹⁵Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.

¹⁶ Anfonwch yn awr ar frys a dywedwch wrth Ddafydd, 'Paid ag aros y nos wrth rydau'r anialwch, ond dos drosodd ar unwaith, rhag i'r brenin a'r holl bobl sydd gydag ef gael eu difa.'"

¹⁶Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

¹⁷ Yr oedd Jonathan ac Ahimaas yn aros yn En-rogel, a morwyn yn mynd �'r neges iddynt hwy, a hwythau wedyn yn mynd �'r neges i'r Brenin Dafydd; oherwydd ni feiddient gael eu gweld yn mynd i'r ddinas.

¹⁷Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En-rogel; and a maid-servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come into the city.

¹⁸ Ond fe welodd bachgen hwy, a dweud wrth Absalom; felly aeth y ddau ar frys nes dod i du375? rhyw ddyn yn Bahurim. Yr oedd gan hwnnw bydew yn ei fuarth ac aethant i lawr iddo.

¹⁸But a lad saw them, and told Absalom: and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither.

¹⁹ Yna cymerodd ei wraig y caead a'i osod ar geg y pydew a thaenu grawn drosto, fel nad oedd neb yn gwybod.

¹⁹And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and strewed bruised grain thereon; and nothing was known.

²⁰ Pan ddaeth gweision Absalom at y tu375? a gofyn i'r wraig, "Ple mae Ahimaas a Jonathan?" dywedodd hithau, "Y maent wedi mynd dros y ffrwd ddu373?r." Ond er iddynt chwilio, ni chawsant mohonynt, ac aethant yn �l i Jerwsalem.

²⁰And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They are gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

²¹ Wedi iddynt fynd, daethant hwythau i fyny o'r pydew a mynd �'r neges i'r Brenin Dafydd, a dweud wrtho am groesi'r du373?r ar unwaith, oherwydd bod Ahitoffel wedi cynghori fel y gwnaeth yn eu herbyn.

²¹And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David, Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water; for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.

²² Dechreuodd Dafydd, a'r holl bobl oedd gydag ef, groesi'r Iorddonen, ac erbyn toriad gwawr nid oedd neb ar �l heb groesi'r Iorddonen.

²²Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over the Jordan.

²³ Pan welodd Ahitoffel na chymerwyd ei gyngor ef, cyfrwyodd ei asyn a mynd adref i'w dref ei hun. Gosododd drefn ar ei du375?, ac yna fe'i crogodd ei hun. Wedi iddo farw, fe'i claddwyd ym medd ei dad.

²³And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

²⁴ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi cyrraedd Mahanaim erbyn i Absalom a holl filwyr Israel gydag ef groesi'r Iorddonen.

²⁴Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

²⁵ Yr oedd Absalom wedi gosod Amasa dros y fyddin yn lle Joab. Yr oedd ef yn fab i ddyn o'r enw Ithra'r Ismaeliad, a oedd wedi priodi Abigal ferch Nahas, chwaer Serfia mam Joab.

²⁵And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

²⁶ Gwersyllodd Israel gydag Absalom yn nhir Gilead.

²⁶And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.

²⁷ Wedi i Ddafydd gyrraedd Mahanaim, daeth Sobi fab Nahas o Rabba'r Ammoniaid, a Machir fab Ammiel o Lo-debar, a Barsilai y Gileadiad o Rogelim

²⁷And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

²⁸ � gwelyau, powlenni a llestri; hefyd gwenith, haidd, blawd, crasyd, ffa, ffacbys,

²⁸brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched [grain], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],

²⁹ m�l, ceulion o laeth defaid a chaws o laeth gwartheg. Rhoesant hwy i Ddafydd a'r bobl oedd gydag ef i'w bwyta, oherwydd meddent, "Bydd y bobl yn newynog a lluddedig, ac yn sychedig yn yr anialwch."

²⁹and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
