¹ Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua, "Paid ag ofni nac arswydo; cymer y rhyfelwyr i gyd gyda thi, a dos i fyny at Ai. Edrych, yr wyf wedi rhoi yn dy law frenin Ai gyda'i bobl, ei ddinas a'i dir.

¹And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land;

² Gwna i Ai a'i brenin fel y gwnaethost i Jericho a'i brenin, ond cewch gadw ei hanrhaith a'i hanifeiliaid hi yn ysbail i chwi eich hunain. Gosod iti filwyr ynghudd y tu cefn i'r ddinas."

²And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it.

³ Cychwynnodd Josua a'r holl fyddin i fyny yn erbyn Ai; a dewisodd Josua ddeng mil ar hugain o ryfelwyr dewr, a'u hanfon ymlaen liw nos.

³So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night.

⁴ Yna gorchmynnodd iddynt fel hyn: "Edrychwch, yr ydych i guddio o olwg y ddinas, y tu cefn iddi; ond peidiwch � mynd yn rhy bell oddi wrthi, a byddwch i gyd yn barod.

⁴And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:

⁵ Byddaf fi a'r holl fyddin sydd gyda mi yn agos�u at y ddinas, a phan dd�nt allan i ymosod arnom fel y tro cyntaf, yna byddwn yn ffoi o'u blaen.

⁵and I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;

⁶ Fe dd�nt hwythau ar ein h�l nes inni eu denu hwy o'r ddinas, gan feddwl ein bod yn ffoi o'u blaen fel y gwnaethom y tro cynt.

⁶and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: so we will flee before them;

⁷ Codwch chwithau o'ch cuddfan a meddiannu'r dref, oherwydd bydd yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw yn ei rhoi yn eich llaw.

⁷and ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.

⁸ Wedi ichwi oresgyn y dref, llosgwch hi � th�n. Gwnewch yn �l gair yr ARGLWYDD; edrychwch, dyma fy ngorchymyn i chwi."

⁸And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do: see, I have commanded you.

⁹ Wedi i Josua eu hanfon ymaith, aethant i guddfan a'u gosod eu hunain rhwng Bethel ac Ai, i'r gorllewin o Ai. Treuliodd Josua'r noson honno gyda'r fyddin.

⁹And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

¹⁰ Cododd Josua a'r henuriaid yn fore drannoeth a chynnull y fyddin a'i harwain tuag Ai.

¹⁰And Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

¹¹ Aeth yr holl fyddin oedd gydag ef i fyny, a nes�u at ymyl y dref a gwersyllu i'r gogledd iddi, gyda dyffryn rhyngddynt hwy ac Ai.

¹¹And all the people, [even] the [men of] war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai.

¹² Yr oedd wedi dewis tua phum mil o wu375?r ac wedi eu rhoi i guddio rhwng Bethel ac Ai i'r gorllewin o'r dref.

¹²And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.

¹³ Yr oedd crynswth y fyddin yn gwersyllu i'r gogledd o'r dref a'r milwyr cudd i'r gorllewin o'r dref; treuliodd Josua y noson honno ar lawr y dyffryn.

¹³So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers-in-wait that were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

¹⁴ Pan welodd brenin Ai hwy, brysiodd ef a dynion y dref yn gynnar yn y bore i fynd allan gyda'r holl fyddin i gyfarfod Israel mewn brwydr ar lecyn yn wynebu'r Araba, heb wybod bod milwyr yn llechu y tu �l i'r dref.

¹⁴And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

¹⁵ Ffodd Josua a'r Israeliaid oll i gyfeiriad yr anialwch, fel pe baent wedi eu taro ganddynt.

¹⁵And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

¹⁶ Galwyd yr holl bobl oedd yn y dref i ymlid ar eu h�l; ac wrth iddynt ymlid ar �l Josua, fe'u denwyd i ffwrdd o'r dref.

¹⁶And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

¹⁷ Nid oedd neb ar �l yn Ai na Bethel heb fynd allan ar �l Israel; gadawsant y dref yn benagored a mynd i ymlid yr Israeliaid.

¹⁷And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.

¹⁸ Yna dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua, "Estyn y waywffon sydd yn dy law tuag Ai, oherwydd yr wyf am roi'r dref yn dy law."

¹⁸And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

¹⁹ Estynnodd Josua'r waywffon oedd yn ei law tua'r dref; ac fel yr estynnai ei law, cododd y milwyr cudd o'u lle ar unwaith, a rhuthro i mewn i'r dref a'i chipio, a llosgi'r dref heb oedi dim.

¹⁹And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and set the city on fire.

²⁰ Pan drodd dynion Ai ac edrych yn eu h�l, gwelsant fwg y dref yn esgyn i'r awyr, ond ni allent ffoi nac yma nac acw, gan fod y fyddin a fu'n ffoi tua'r anialwch wedi troi i wynebu ei herlidwyr;

²⁰And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

²¹ oherwydd pan welodd Josua a holl Israel fod y milwyr cudd wedi cipio'r dref, a bod mwg yn codi ohoni, troesant yn eu h�l ac ymosod ar ddynion Ai.

²¹And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

²² Daeth y lleill allan o'r dref i'w cyfarfod, ac felly'r oeddent yn y canol rhwng dwy garfan o Israeliaid; trawyd hwy heb i neb gael ei arbed na dianc.

²²And the others came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

²³ Daliwyd brenin Ai yn fyw, a daethant ag ef gerbron Josua.

²³And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

²⁴ Wedi i'r Israeliaid ladd holl drigolion Ai oedd allan yn yr anialwch, lle'r oeddent wedi eu hymlid, a phob un ohonynt wedi syrthio dan fin y cleddyf nes eu difa'n llwyr, yna dychwelodd Israel gyfan i Ai, a'i tharo �'r cleddyf.

²⁴And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

²⁵ Nifer y rhai a syrthiodd y diwrnod hwnnw oedd deuddeng mil, yn wu375?r a gwragedd, sef holl boblogaeth Ai.

²⁵And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

²⁶ Ni thynnodd Josua'n �l y llaw oedd yn dal y waywffon nes difa holl drigolion Ai.

²⁶For Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

²⁷ Dim ond y gwartheg ac anrhaith y dref a gymerodd yr Israeliaid yn ysbail iddynt eu hunain, yn �l gorchymyn yr ARGLWYDD i Josua.

²⁷Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey unto themselves, according unto the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua.

²⁸ Llosgodd Josua Ai a'i gadael yn domen barhaol a erys yn ddiffaith hyd heddiw.

²⁸So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day.

²⁹ Crogodd frenin Ai ar grocbren hyd yr hwyr, ac ar fachlud yr haul gorchmynnodd Josua iddynt dynnu ei gorff i lawr o'r crocbren a'i daflu ger y fynedfa i'r dref; codwyd carnedd fawr o gerrig drosto, sydd yno hyd heddiw.

²⁹And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.

³⁰ Yna cododd Josua allor i'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, ym Mynydd Ebal.

³⁰Then Joshua built an altar unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,

³¹ Fel yr oedd Moses gwas yr ARGLWYDD wedi gorchymyn i'r Israeliaid, ac fel sy'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr cyfraith Moses, yr oedd yr allor wedi ei hadeiladu o gerrig heb eu naddu na'u trin � haearn. Ac offrymasant arni boethoffrymau i'r ARGLWYDD, ac aberthu heddoffrymau.

³¹as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

³² Yno yng ngu373?ydd yr Israeliaid ysgrifennodd ar feini gopi o gyfraith Moses.

³²And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.

³³ Yr oedd Israel gyfan � ei henuriaid, ei swyddogion, a'i barnwyr � yn sefyll o boptu'r arch, gerbron yr offeiriaid, sef y Lefiaid oedd yn cludo arch cyfamod yr ARGLWYDD. Yr oedd estron a brodor fel ei gilydd yno, hanner ohonynt ar bwys Mynydd Garisim, a hanner ar bwys Mynydd Ebal, fel yr oedd Moses gwas yr ARGLWYDD wedi gorchymyn yn y dechrau ar gyfer bendithio pobl Israel.

³³And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the homeborn; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

³⁴ Wedi hynny darllenodd Josua holl eiriau'r gyfraith, y fendith a'r felltith, fel sy'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr y gyfraith.

³⁴And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

³⁵ Ni adawodd Josua air o'r cyfan a orchmynnodd Moses heb ei ddarllen gerbron holl gynulleidfa Israel, gan gynnwys y gwragedd a'r plant a'r estron oedd yn aros yn eu mysg.

³⁵There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners that were among them.
