¹ Yr oedd yr Israeliaid wedi tyngu yn Mispa na fyddai neb ohonynt yn rhoi ei ferch yn wraig i Benjaminiad.

¹Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.

² Wedi i'r bobl ddod i Fethel ac eistedd yno gerbron Duw hyd yr hwyr, dechreusant wylo'n hidl,

²And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore.

³ a dweud, "Pam, O ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, y digwyddodd hyn i Israel, bod un llwyth heddiw yn eisiau?"

³And they said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to-day one tribe lacking in Israel?

⁴ Trannoeth, wedi i'r bobl godi'n fore, codasant yno allor ac aberthu poethoffrymau a heddoffrymau.

⁴And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.

⁵ Yna dywedodd yr Israeliaid, "Pwy o holl lwythau Israel sydd heb ddod i fyny at yr ARGLWYDD i'r cynulliad?" Oherwydd yr oedd llw difrifol wedi ei dyngu y byddai'r sawl na dd�i i fyny at yr ARGLWYDD i Mispa yn sicr o gael ei roi i farwolaeth.

⁵And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up in the assembly unto Jehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death.

⁶ Gofidiodd yr Israeliaid am eu perthynas Benjamin, a dweud, "Y mae un llwyth wedi ei dorri allan o Israel heddiw.

⁶And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.

⁷ Beth a wnawn ni dros y dynion sydd ar �l, a ninnau wedi tyngu i'r ARGLWYDD na roddem iddynt yr un o'n merched yn wraig?"

⁷How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by Jehovah that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?

⁸ Ac meddent, "Prun o lwythau Israel sydd heb ddod i fyny at yr ARGLWYDD i Mispa?" Nid oedd neb o Jabes-gilead wedi dod i'r gwersyll i'r cynulliad.

⁸And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.

⁹ Pan gyfrifwyd y bobl, nid oedd yno neb o drigolion Jabes-gilead.

⁹For when the people were numbered, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there.

¹⁰ Felly anfonodd y cynulliad ddeuddeng mil o wu375?r rhyfel yno, a gorchymyn iddynt, "Ewch a lladdwch drigolion Jabes-gilead �'r cleddyf, yn cynnwys y gwragedd a'r plant.

¹⁰And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.

¹¹ A dyma'r hyn a wnewch: dinistriwch yn llwyr bob dyn, a phob dynes nad yw'n wyryf."

¹¹And this is the thing that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.

¹² Cawsant ymhlith Jabes-gilead bedwar cant o wyryfon nad oeddent wedi gorwedd gyda dyn; a daethant � hwy i'r gwersyll i Seilo yng ngwlad Canaan.

¹²And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

¹³ Anfonodd y cynulliad cyfan neges at y Benjaminiaid oedd yng nghraig Rimmon, a chynnig heddwch iddynt.

¹³And the whole congregation sent and spake to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace unto them.

¹⁴ Yna, wedi iddynt ddychwelyd, rhoesant iddynt y merched o Jabes-gilead yr oeddent wedi eu harbed. Eto nid oedd hynny'n ddigon ar eu cyfer.

¹⁴And Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.

¹⁵ A chan fod y bobl yn gofidio am Benjamin, am i'r ARGLWYDD wneud bwlch yn llwythau Israel,

¹⁵And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

¹⁶ dywedodd henuriaid y cynulliad, "Beth a wnawn am wragedd i'r gweddill, gan fod y merched wedi eu difa o blith Benjamin?"

¹⁶Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?

¹⁷ Ac meddent, "Rhaid cael etifeddion i'r rhai o Benjamin a arbedwyd, rhag dileu llwyth o Israel.

¹⁷And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel.

¹⁸ Ni allwn roi iddynt wragedd o blith ein merched ni, am fod yr Israeliaid wedi tyngu, 'Melltigedig fyddo'r hwn a roddo wraig i Benjamin.'"

¹⁸Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.

¹⁹ A dyna hwy'n dweud, "Y mae gu373?yl i'r ARGLWYDD bob blwyddyn yn Seilo, o du'r gogledd i Fethel, ac i'r dwyrain o'r briffordd sy'n arwain o Fethel i Sichem, i'r de o Lebona."

¹⁹And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

²⁰ A rhoesant orchymyn i'r Benjaminiaid, "Ewch ac ymguddiwch yn y gwinllannoedd,

²⁰And they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,

²¹ a gwyliwch. A phan ddaw merched Seilo allan i ddawnsio, rhuthrwch allan o'r gwinllannoedd a chipiwch bob un wraig o'u plith, ac yna dewch yn �l i dir Benjamin.

²¹and see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

²² Ac os daw eu hynafiaid neu eu brodyr atom i achwyn, fe ddywedwn wrthynt, 'Byddwch yn rasol wrthynt, oherwydd ni chawsom wragedd iddynt trwy ryfel; ac nid chwi sydd wedi eu rhoi hwy iddynt, felly rydych chwi'n ddieuog.'"

²²And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain unto us, that we will say unto them, Grant them graciously unto us, because we took not for each man [of them] his wife in battle, neither did ye give them unto them, else would ye now be guilty.

²³ Gwnaeth y Benjaminiaid hyn, ac wedi i bob un gael gwraig o blith y dawnswyr yr oeddent wedi eu cipio, aethant yn �l i'w tiriogaeth ac ailadeiladu'r trefi a byw ynddynt.

²³And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they carried off: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them.

²⁴ Dychwelodd yr Israeliaid hefyd yr un pryd i'w tiriogaeth, a phob un yn mynd yn �l at ei lwyth a'i deulu ei hun.

²⁴And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.

²⁵ Yn y dyddiau hynny nid oedd brenin yn Israel. Yr oedd pob un yn gwneud yr hyn oedd yn iawn yn ei olwg ei hun.

²⁵In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
