¹ Pan fu farw Abeia, a'i gladdu yn Ninas Dafydd, daeth ei fab Asa yn frenin yn ei le. Yn ystod ei deyrnasiad ef cafodd y wlad lonydd am ddeng mlynedd.

¹And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

² Gwnaeth Asa yr hyn oedd dda ac uniawn yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw.

²And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Jehovah his God;

³ Symudodd ymaith allorau'r duwiau dieithr a'r uchelfeydd, a dryllio'r colofnau a chwalu delwau Asera.

³and he took away the altars of the strange [gods] and the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs;

⁴ Anogodd Jwda i geisio ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid a chadw'r gyfraith a'r gorchmynion,

⁴and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment.

⁵ ac fe symudodd ymaith o holl ddinasoedd Jwda yr uchelfeydd a'r allorau. Cafodd y deyrnas lonydd yn ei oes ef.

⁵And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.

⁶ Adeiladodd ddinasoedd caerog yn Jwda tra oedd y wlad yn cael llonydd, ac ni fu rhyfel yn ei erbyn yn ystod y blynyddoedd hynny am fod yr ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi heddwch iddo.

⁶And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given him rest.

⁷ Dywedodd wrth Jwda, "Gadewch i ni adeiladu'r dinasoedd hyn a'u hamgylchu � muriau gyda thyrau, a dorau a barrau. Y mae'r wlad yn dal yn agored o'n blaen am i ni geisio'r ARGLWYDD ein Duw. Yr ydym ni wedi ei geisio ef, ac y mae yntau wedi rhoi heddwch i ni oddi amgylch." Felly, adeiladodd y bobl a llwyddo.

⁷And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered.

⁸ Yr oedd gan Asa fyddin o dri chan mil o wu375?r Jwda yn dwyn tarian a gwaywffon, a dau gant a phedwar ugain mil o wu375?r Benjamin yn dwyn tarian a thynnu bwa; yr oeddent oll yn wroniaid.

⁸And Asa had an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour.

⁹ Daeth Sera yr Ethiopiad yn eu herbyn gyda byddin o filiwn, a thri chant o gerbydau.

⁹And Zerah the Ethiopian came out against him with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.

¹⁰ Pan gyrhaeddodd Maresa, daeth Asa allan yn ei erbyn, a pharatoesant i ymladd yn nyffryn Seffatha, yn ymyl Maresa.

¹⁰And Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.

¹¹ Galwodd Asa ar yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw a dweud, "O ARGLWYDD, nid oes neb fel ti i gynorthwyo'r gwan yn erbyn y cryf; cynorthwya ni, O ARGLWYDD ein Duw, oherwydd yr ydym yn ymddiried ynot, ac yn dy enw di y daethom yn erbyn y dyrfa hon. O ARGLWYDD, ein Duw ni wyt ti; na fydded i neb gystadlu � thi."

¹¹And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it maketh no difference to thee to help, whether there be much or no power: help us, O Jehovah our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name have we come against this multitude. Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

¹² Felly, gorchfygodd yr ARGLWYDD yr Ethiopiaid o flaen Asa a Jwda. Fe ffoesant,

¹²And Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

¹³ gydag Asa a'i fyddin yn eu herlid, hyd at Gerar, lle syrthiodd cymaint ohonynt o flaen yr ARGLWYDD a'i fyddin fel na allent adennill eu nerth.

¹³And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil.

¹⁴ Casglodd gwu375?r Jwda anrhaith mawr iawn, a choncro'r holl ddinasoedd o gwmpas Gerar, am fod ofn yr ARGLWYDD arnynt. Anrheithiasant yr holl ddinasoedd am fod ysbail mawr iawn ynddynt.

¹⁴And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them.

¹⁵ Ymosodasant hefyd ar gorlannau'r anifeiliaid a chario ymaith lawer o ddefaid a chamelod, ac yna dychwelyd i Jerwsalem.

¹⁵They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
