¹ Yna daeth gwu375?r Ciriath-jearim a chyrchu arch yr ARGLWYDD, a'i dwyn atynt i du375? Abinadab ar y bryn, a chysegru ei fab Eleasar i gadw arch yr ARGLWYDD.

¹And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and hallowed Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.

² Aeth llawer o amser heibio, tuag ugain mlynedd, er pan ddaeth yr arch i aros yn Ciriath-jearim, ac yr oedd holl du375? Israel yn hiraethu am yr ARGLWYDD.

²And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.

³ Dywedodd Samuel wrth yr Israeliaid, "Os ydych yn dychwelyd at yr ARGLWYDD �'ch holl galon, bwriwch ymaith y duwiau estron a'r Astaroth o'ch mysg; rhowch eich meddwl ar yr ARGLWYDD, a'i addoli ef yn unig, ac fe'ch achub o law y Philistiaid."

³And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye return to Jehovah with all your heart, put away the strange gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and apply your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

⁴ A bwriodd Israel ymaith y Baalim a'r Astaroth, ac addoli'r ARGLWYDD yn unig.

⁴And the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths and served Jehovah only.

⁵ Yna dywedodd Samuel, "Casglwch holl Israel i Mispa, a gwedd�af drosoch ar yr ARGLWYDD."

⁵And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray Jehovah for you.

⁶ Ac wedi iddynt ymgasglu i Mispa, a thynnu du373?r a'i arllwys gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, gwnaethant ympryd yno y diwrnod hwnnw a dweud, "Yr ydym wedi pechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD." Yn Mispa yr oedd Samuel yn barnu Israel.

⁶And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

⁷ Pan glywodd y Philistiaid fod Israel wedi dod ynghyd i Mispa, daeth arglwyddi'r Philistiaid i fyny yn erbyn Israel. Clywodd Israel hynny, a daeth arnynt ofn y Philistiaid, ac meddent wrth Samuel,

⁷And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah; and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel; and the children of Israel heard [it], and were afraid of the Philistines.

⁸ "Gwedd�a'n ddi-baid drosom ar yr ARGLWYDD ein Duw iddo'n gwaredu ni o law'r Philistiaid."

⁸And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

⁹ Cymerodd Samuel oen sugno a'i offrymu'n boethoffrwm cyfan i'r ARGLWYDD; gwedd�odd ar yr ARGLWYDD dros Israel, ac atebodd yr ARGLWYDD ef.

⁹And Samuel took a sucking-lamb, and offered it as a whole burnt-offering to Jehovah; and Samuel cried to Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answered him.

¹⁰ Y diwrnod hwnnw, fel yr oedd Samuel yn offrymu'r poethoffrwm, a'r Philistiaid yn nes�u i ymladd ag Israel, cododd yr ARGLWYDD storm daranau yn erbyn y Philistiaid a'u drysu, a gyrrwyd hwy ar ffo o flaen Israel.

¹⁰And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines advanced to battle against Israel. And Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were routed before Israel.

¹¹ Yna aeth gwu375?r Israel allan o Mispa, ac erlid y Philistiaid a'u taro nes dod islaw Beth-car.

¹¹And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.

¹² Yna cymerodd Samuel faen, a'i osod rhwng Mispa a S�n a'i alw'n Eben-eser, a dweud, "Hyd yma y cynorthwyodd yr ARGLWYDD ni."

¹²And Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto Jehovah has helped us.

¹³ Darostyngwyd y Philistiaid ac ni ddaethant eto i diriogaeth Israel; yr oedd llaw'r ARGLWYDD yn erbyn y Philistiaid holl ddyddiau Samuel.

¹³And the Philistines were subdued, and came no more into the borders of Israel; and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

¹⁴ Adferwyd i Israel y trefi yr oedd y Philistiaid wedi eu dwyn oddi arni, o Ecron hyd Gath; a rhyddhaodd Israel eu terfynau o afael y Philistiaid. Yr oedd heddwch hefyd rhwng Israel a'r Amoriaid.

¹⁴And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and their territory did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.

¹⁵ Bu Samuel yn barnu Israel ar hyd ei oes.

¹⁵And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

¹⁶ Bob blwyddyn �i ar gylchdaith i Fethel, Gilgal a Mispa, a barnu Israel yn y mannau hyn.

¹⁶And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.

¹⁷ Yna dychwelai i Rama, oherwydd yno'r oedd ei gartref. Barnai Israel yno hefyd, a chododd yno allor i'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁷And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house, and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to Jehovah.
