¹ Aeth Rehoboam i Sichem, gan mai i Sichem y daethai holl Israel i'w urddo'n frenin.

¹And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

² Pan glywodd Jeroboam fab Nebat, a oedd o hyd yn yr Aifft, lle'r oedd wedi ffoi rhag y Brenin Solomon, arhosodd yn yr Aifft.

²And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;

³ Ond galwasant amdano, a daeth Jeroboam a holl gynulliad Israel a dweud wrth Rehoboam,

³and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

⁴ "Trymhaodd dy dad ein hiau; os gwnei di'n awr ysgafnhau peth ar gaethiwed caled dy dad a'r iau drom a osododd arnom, yna fe'th wasanaethwn."

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten thou the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

⁵ Dywedodd yntau wrthynt, "Ewch i ffwrdd am dridiau, ac yna dewch yn �l ataf." Aeth y bobl.

⁵And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

⁶ Ymgynghorodd Rehoboam �'r henuriaid oedd yn llys ei dad Solomon pan oedd yn fyw, a gofynnodd, "Sut y byddech chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn?"

⁶And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?

⁷ Eu hateb oedd, "Os byddi di heddiw yn was i'r bobl hyn, a'u gwasanaethu a'u hateb � geiriau teg, byddant yn weision i ti am byth."

⁷And they spoke to him saying, If this day thou wilt be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them and answer them and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.

⁸ Ond gwrthododd y cyngor a roes yr henuriaid, a cheisiodd gyngor y llanciau oedd yn gyfoed ag ef ac yn aelodau o'i lys.

⁸But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him.

⁹ Gofynnodd iddynt hwy, "Beth ydych chwi'n fy nghynghori i ateb y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyf, 'Ysgafnha rywfaint ar yr iau a osododd dy dad arnom'? "

⁹And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?

¹⁰ Atebodd y llanciau oedd yn gyfoed ag ef, "Fel hyn y dywedi wrth y bobl hyn sy'n dweud wrthyt: 'Gwnaeth dy dad ein hiau yn drwm; ysgafnha dithau arnom.' Ie, dyma a ddywedi wrthynt: 'Y mae fy mys bach i yn braffach na llwynau fy nhad!

¹⁰And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people that have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, -- thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;

¹¹ Mae'n wir i'm tad osod iau drom arnoch, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach. Cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!'"

¹¹and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, *I* will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but *I* will chastise you with scorpions.

¹² Pan ddaeth Jeroboam a'r holl bobl at Rehoboam ar y trydydd dydd, yn �l gorchymyn y brenin, "Dewch yn �l ataf ymhen tridiau",

¹²And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.

¹³ atebodd y brenin hwy'n chwyrn. Diystyrodd gyngor yr henuriaid, a derbyn cyngor y llanciau.

¹³And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him;

¹⁴ Dywedodd wrthynt, "Trymhaodd fy nhad eich iau, ond fe'i gwnaf fi hi'n drymach; cystwyodd fy nhad chwi � chwip, ond fe'ch cystwyaf fi chwi � ffrewyll!"

¹⁴and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but *I* will chastise you with scorpions.

¹⁵ Felly ni wrandawodd y brenin ar y bobl, oherwydd fel hyn y tynghedwyd gan yr ARGLWYDD, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD gyflawni'r gair a lefarodd drwy Aheia o Seilo wrth Jeroboam fab Nebat.

¹⁵So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by Jehovah, that he might give effect to his word, which Jehovah spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁶ A phan welodd holl Israel nad oedd y brenin am wrando arnynt, daeth ateb oddi wrth y bobl at y brenin: "Pa ran sydd i ni yn Nafydd? Nid oes cyfran inni ym mab Jesse. Adref i'th bebyll, Israel! Edrych at dy du375? dy hun, Ddafydd!" Yna aeth Israel adref.

¹⁶And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? And [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: To your tents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David! And Israel went to their tents.

¹⁷ Ond yr oedd rhai Israeliaid yn byw yn nhrefi Jwda, a Rehoboam yn frenin arnynt.

¹⁷But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

¹⁸ Pan anfonodd y brenin atynt Adoram, goruchwyliwr y llafur gorfod, llabyddiodd yr Israeliaid ef a'i ladd; ond llwyddodd y Brenin Rehoboam i gyrraedd ei gerbyd a ffoi i Jerwsalem.

¹⁸And king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁹ Ac y mae Israel mewn gwrthryfel yn erbyn llinach Dafydd hyd heddiw.

¹⁹And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.

²⁰ Wedi i Israel gyfan glywed fod Jeroboam wedi dychwelyd, anfonasant i'w wahodd i'r gymanfa, a'i urddo'n frenin dros Israel gyfan. Nid oedd ond llwyth Jwda'n unig yn glynu wrth linach Dafydd.

²⁰And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and made him king over all Israel: none followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

²¹ Pan ddychwelodd Rehoboam i Jerwsalem, galwodd ynghyd holl dylwyth Jwda a llwyth Benjamin, cant a phedwar ugain o filoedd o ryfelwyr dethol, i ryfela yn erbyn Israel i adennill y frenhiniaeth i Rehoboam fab Solomon.

²¹And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

²² Ond daeth gair Duw at Semaia, gu373?r Duw:

²²But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

²³ "Dywed wrth Rehoboam fab Solomon, brenin Jwda, ac wrth holl bobl Jwda a Benjamin a phawb arall,

²³Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remainder of the people, saying,

²⁴ 'Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD: Peidiwch � mynd i ryfela yn erbyn eich brodyr yr Israeliaid; ewch yn �l adref bob un, gan mai oddi wrthyf fi y daw hyn.'" A gwrandawsant ar air yr ARGLWYDD, a dychwelyd adref yn �l gair yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁴Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren, the children of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the word of Jehovah, and returned to depart, according to the word of Jehovah.

²⁵ Adeiladodd Jeroboam Sichem ym mynydd-dir Effraim i fyw yno, ond wedyn gadawodd y fan ac adeiladu Penuel.

²⁵And Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

²⁶ Meddyliodd Jeroboam, "Yn awr, efallai y dychwel y frenhiniaeth at linach Dafydd.

²⁶And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David.

²⁷ Os �'r bobl hyn i offrymu yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD yn Jerwsalem, yna fe fydd calon y bobl hyn yn troi'n �l at eu meistr, Rehoboam brenin Jwda; fe'm lladdant i a dychwelyd at Rehoboam brenin Jwda."

²⁷If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.

²⁸ Felly cymerodd y brenin gyngor a gwneud dau lo aur, a dweud wrth y bobl, "Y mae'n ormod i chwi fynd i fyny i Jerwsalem; dyma dy dduwiau, Israel, y rhai a ddaeth � chwi i fyny o'r Aifft."

²⁸And the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!

²⁹ Gosodwyd un eilun i fyny ym Methel, a rhoi'r llall yn Dan.

²⁹And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.

³⁰ Ond bu hyn yn achos pechu, oherwydd yr oedd y bobl yn mynd i addoli'r naill i Fethel a'r llall i Dan.

³⁰And this thing became a sin; and the people went [to worship] before the one, as far as Dan.

³¹ Wedi iddo godi uchelfeydd, urddodd offeiriaid o blith y bobl i gyd, heb iddynt fod yn Lefiaid.

³¹And he made a house of high places, and made priests from all classes of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

³² Sefydlodd Jeroboam u373?yl o bererindod ar y pymthegfed dydd o'r wythfed mis, fel yr u373?yl o bererindod oedd yn Jwda; ac yr oedd yntau yn offrymu ar yr allor. Dyna sut y gwn�i ym Methel, ac aberthu i'r lloi a luniodd; hefyd fe osododd ym Methel offeiriaid yr uchelfeydd a godwyd ganddo.

³²And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.

³³ Fe offrymodd ar yr allor a wnaeth ym Methel ar y pymthegfed dydd o'r wythfed mis. Dyfeisiodd ddyddiad iddo'i hun, lluniodd u373?yl o bererindod i'r Israeliaid ac aeth ef ei hun at yr allor i offrymu.

³³And he offered upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he made a feast for the children of Israel, and he offered upon the altar, burning incense.
