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, ac yntau yn yr Aifft, lle'r oedd wedi ffoi rhag y Brenin Solomon, dychwelodd oddi yno.

²And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

³ Galwyd arno, ac fe ddaeth yntau a holl Israel a dweud wrth Rehoboam,

³And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all 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 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, Come again to me after three days. 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'n gl�n wrthynt, a'u bodloni a'u hateb � geiriau teg, byddant yn weision iti am byth."

⁷And they spoke to him saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please 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 gyfoedion iddo 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 the people who 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 Y 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 Rehoboam gyngor yr henuriaid, a derbyn cyngor y llanciau.

¹³And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,

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 spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to it; 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 Dduw, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD gyflawni'r gair a lefarwyd drwy Aheia o Seilo wrth Jeroboam fab Nebat.

¹⁵So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he 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 gyfran inni ym mab Jesse. Adref i'th bebyll, Israel! Edrych at dy du375? dy hun, Ddafydd!"

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: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And all Israel went to their tents.

¹⁷ Yna aeth Israel adref. 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 Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of 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.
