¹ Cododd Satan yn erbyn Israel ac annog Dafydd i gyfrif yr Israeliaid.

¹And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.

² Felly dywedodd Dafydd wrth Joab a swyddogion y fyddin, "Ewch a chyf-rifwch Israel o Beerseba i Dan; yna dychwelwch ataf er mwyn i mi wybod eu nifer."

²And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

³ Dywedodd Joab, "Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD luosogi ei bobl ganwaith yr hyn ydynt. F'arglwydd frenin, onid gweision f'arglwydd ydynt i gyd? Pam y mae f'arglwydd yn gwneud ymholiad fel hyn? Pam y dylai camwedd ddod ar Israel?"

³And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel?

⁴ Ond yr oedd gair y brenin yn drech na Joab, ac fe aeth Joab allan a thramwyo trwy holl Israel, a dychwelodd i Jerwsalem. Yna rhodd-odd swm y cyfrifiad o'r bobl i Ddafydd:

⁴But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.

⁵ yr oedd yn Israel filiwn a chan mil o wu375?r a fedrai drin y cleddyf, ac yn Jwda bedwar cant saith deg o filoedd.

⁵And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.

⁶ Ond nid oedd Joab wedi cynnwys Lefi a Benjamin yn eu mysg am ei fod yn ffieiddio gorchymyn y brenin.

⁶But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

⁷ Yr oedd hyn yn ddrwg yng ngolwg Duw, ac felly trawodd Israel.

⁷And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.

⁸ A dywedodd Dafydd wrth Dduw, "Pechais yn fawr trwy wneud hyn; am hynny maddau i'th was, oherwydd b�m yn ff�l iawn."

⁸And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

⁹ Daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Gad, gweledydd Dafydd, gan ddweud,

⁹And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,

¹⁰ "Dos a dywed wrth Ddafydd, 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Yr wyf yn cynnig tri pheth iti; dewis di un ohonynt, ac fe'i gwnaf iti.'"

¹⁰Go and speak to David saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I offer thee three [things]; choose one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

¹¹ Daeth Gad at Ddafydd ac meddai wrtho, "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD:

¹¹And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:

¹² Dewis naill ai tair blynedd o newyn, neu dri mis o ffoi o flaen dy wrth-wynebwyr a chleddyf dy elynion yn dy oddiweddyd, neu dridiau o haint yn y wlad, sef cleddyf yr ARGLWYDD, ac angel yr ARGLWYDD yn dinistrio trwy holl derfynau Israel. Ystyria pa ateb a roddaf i'r un a'm hanfonodd."

¹²Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

¹³ Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Gad, "Y mae'n gyfyng iawn arnaf, ond bydded imi syrthio i law'r ARGLWYDD, am fod ei drugareddau'n aml, yn hytrach nag imi syrthio i law dynion."

¹³And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.

¹⁴ Felly anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD haint ar Israel, a bu farw deng mil a thrigain o'r bobl.

¹⁴And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

¹⁵ Anfonodd Duw hefyd angel i Jerwsalem i'w dinistrio, ond fel yr oedd ar fin ei dinistrio edrychodd yr ARGLWYDD ac edifarhaodd am y niwed, a dywedodd wrth yr angel oedd yn gyfrifol am y dinistr, "Digon bellach! Atal dy law." Yr oedd angel yr ARGLWYDD yn ymyl llawr dyrnu Ornan y Jebusiad.

¹⁵And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was destroying, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

¹⁶ Yna edrychodd Dafydd a gweld angel yr ARGLWYDD yn sefyll rhwng daear a nefoedd, �'i gleddyf noeth yn ei law wedi ei estyn dros Jerwsalem; ac fe syrthiodd Dafydd a'r henuriaid, a oedd wedi eu gwisgo mewn sachliain, ar eu hwynebau.

¹⁶And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.

¹⁷ Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Dduw, "Onid myfi a orchmynnodd rifo'r bobl? Onid myfi sydd wedi pechu a gwneud drwg? Am y defaid hyn, beth a wnaethant hwy? O ARGLWYDD fy Nuw, bydded dy law yn f'erbyn i a'm teulu, ond paid ag anfon pla ar dy bobl."

¹⁷And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.

¹⁸ Yna dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrth Gad am orchymyn i Ddafydd fynd i fyny a chodi allor i'r ARGLWYDD ar lawr dyrnu Ornan y Jebusiad.

¹⁸And the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

¹⁹ Felly fe aeth Dafydd, ar air Gad, fel y gorchmynnodd yn enw'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁹And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.

²⁰ Yr oedd Ornan yn dyrnu gwenith; trodd a gweld yr angel, ac aeth ei bedwar mab oedd gydag ef i ymguddio.

²⁰And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

²¹ Daeth Dafydd at Ornan, a phan welodd Ornan ef aeth allan o'r llawr dyrnu ac ymgrymu iddo hyd lawr.

²¹And David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.

²² Dywedodd Dafydd wrtho, "Rho i mi'r llawr dyrnu, er mwyn i mi godi allor yno i'r ARGLWYDD; rho ef i mi am ei lawn bris, er mwyn atal y pla rhag y bobl."

²²And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

²³ Meddai Ornan wrth Ddafydd, "Cymered f'arglwydd frenin ef a gwneud yr hyn a fyn; edrych, yr wyf yn rhoi'r ychen ar gyfer y poethoffrymau, a'r offer dyrnu yn danwydd a'r gwenith yn fwydoffrwm. Fe gei'r cwbl gennyf."

²³And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; I give it all.

²⁴ Ond dywedodd y brenin wrth Ornan, "Na, rhaid i mi ei brynu am ei lawn werth. Ni chymeraf yr hyn sydd eiddot ti ac aberthu i'r ARGLWYDD boethoffrwm di-gost."

²⁴And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will in any case buy [them] for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost.

²⁵ Felly talodd Dafydd chwe chan sicl o aur wrth eu pwysau i Ornan am y lle;

²⁵And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].

²⁶ a chododd yno allor i'r ARGLWYDD, ac aberthu poethoffrymau a heddoffrymau. Galwodd ar yr ARGLWYDD, ac atebodd yntau ef trwy anfon t�n o'r nefoedd ar allor y poethoffrwm.

²⁶And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.

²⁷ A gorchmynnodd yr ARGLWYDD i'r angel roi ei gleddyf yn �l yn ei wain.

²⁷And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.

²⁸ Y pryd hwnnw, pan welodd Dafydd fod yr ARGLWYDD wedi ei ateb yn llawr dyrnu Ornan y Jebusiad, fe aberthodd yno.

²⁸At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

²⁹ Yr oedd tabernacl yr ARGLWYDD, a wnaeth Moses yn yr anialwch, ac allor y poethoffrwm, yn yr uchelfa yn Gibeon y pryd hwnnw;

²⁹And the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

³⁰ ond ni allai Dafydd fynd o'i flaen i ymofyn � Duw am ei fod yn ofni cleddyf angel yr ARGLWYDD.

³⁰But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
