¹ Pan welodd Athaleia, mam Ahaseia, fod ei mab wedi marw, aeth ati i ddifodi'r holl linach frenhinol.

¹And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the royal seed.

² Ond cymerwyd Joas fab Ahaseia gan Jehoseba, merch y Brenin Joram a chwaer Ahaseia, a'i ddwyn yn ddirgel o blith plant y brenin, a oedd i'w lladd. Rhoed ef a'i famaeth mewn ystafell wely, a'i guddio rhag Athaleia, ac ni laddwyd ef.

²But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, [and hid] him and his nurse in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

³ A bu ynghudd gyda hi yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD am chwe blynedd, tra oedd Athaleia'n rheoli'r wlad.

³And he was with her hid in the house of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.

⁴ Ond yn y seithfed flwyddyn anfonodd Jehoiada am gapteiniaid y Cariaid a'r gwarchodlu, a'u dwyn ato i du375?'r ARGLWYDD. Gwnaeth gytundeb � hwy, a pharodd iddynt dyngu llw yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD; yna dangosodd iddynt fab y brenin,

⁴And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains of the hundreds, of the bodyguard and the couriers, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and shewed them the king's son.

⁵ a gorchymyn iddynt, "Dyma'r hyn a wnewch: y mae traean ohonoch yn dod i mewn ar y Saboth ac ar wyliadwriaeth yn y palas;

⁵And he commanded them saying, This is the thing which ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house;

⁶ y mae'r ail draean ym mhorth Sur, a'r trydydd ym mhorth cefn y gwarchodlu, ac yn cymryd eu tro i warchod y palas.

⁶and a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the couriers; and ye shall keep the watch of the house for a defence.

⁷ Ond yn awr, y mae'r ddau gwmni sy'n rhydd ar y Saboth i warchod o gwmpas y brenin yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD.

⁷And the two parts of you, all those that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah about the king.

⁸ Safwch o amgylch y brenin, pob un �'i arfau yn ei law, a lladdwch unrhyw un a ddaw'n agos at y rhengoedd; arhoswch gyda'r brenin ble bynnag yr �."

⁸And ye shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that comes within the ranks shall be put to death; and ye shall be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.

⁹ Gwnaeth y capteiniaid bopeth a orchmynnodd yr offeiriad Jehoiada, pob un yn cymryd ei gwmni, y rhai oedd ar ddyletswydd ar y Saboth, a'r rhai oedd yn rhydd, a dod at yr offeiriad Jehoiada.

⁹And the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go forth on the sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest.

¹⁰ Yna rhoddodd yr offeiriad i'r capteiniaid y gwaywffyn a'r tarianau a fu gan Ddafydd ac a oedd yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁰And the priest gave to the captains of the hundreds king David's spears and shields which were in the house of Jehovah.

¹¹ Safodd y gwarchodlu i amgylchu'r brenin, pob un �'i arfau yn ei law, ar draws y tu375? o'r ochr dde i'r ochr chwith, o gwmpas yr allor a'r tu375?.

¹¹And the couriers stood by the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, toward the altar and the house.

¹² Yna dygwyd mab y brenin gerbron, a rhoi'r goron a'r warant iddo. Urddasant ef yn frenin, a'i eneinio, a churo dwylo a dweud, "Byw fyddo'r brenin!"

¹²And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king!

¹³ Clywodd Athaleia drwst y gwarchodlu a'r bobl, a daeth atynt i du375?'r ARGLWYDD.

¹³And Athaliah heard the noise of the couriers [and] of the people; and she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.

¹⁴ Pan welodd hi y brenin yn sefyll wrth y golofn yn �l y ddefod, gyda'r capteiniaid a'r trwmpedau o amgylch y brenin, a holl bobl y wlad yn llawenhau ac yn canu trwmpedau, rhwygodd ei dillad a gweiddi, "Brad, brad!"

¹⁴And she looked, and behold, the king stood on the dais, according to the custom, and the princes and the trumpeters were by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. And Athaliah rent her garments and cried, Conspiracy! Conspiracy!

¹⁵ Gorchmynnodd yr offeiriad Jehoiada i'r capteiniaid, swyddogion y fyddin, "Ewch � hi y tu allan i gyffiniau'r tu375?, a lladdwch �'r cleddyf unrhyw un sy'n ei dilyn; ond peidier," meddai'r offeiriad, "�'i lladd yn nhu375?'r ARGLWYDD."

¹⁵And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Lead her forth without the ranks; and whosoever follows her, slay with the sword; for the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁶ Felly daliasant hi a'i dwyn at fynedfa Porth y Meirch i'r palas, a'i lladd yno.

¹⁶And they made way for her, and she went by the way by which the horses entered the king's house, and there was she put to death.

¹⁷ Gwnaeth Jehoiada gyfamod rhwng yr ARGLWYDD a'r brenin a'i bobl, iddynt fod yn bobl i'r ARGLWYDD; gwnaeth gyfamod hefyd rhwng y brenin a'r bobl.

¹⁷And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be the people of Jehovah; and between the king and the people.

¹⁸ Aeth holl bobl y wlad at deml Baal a'i thynnu i lawr, a dryllio'i hallorau a'i delwau'n chwilfriw, a lladd Mattan, offeiriad Baal, o flaen yr allorau; a phenododd yr offeiriad arolygwyr ar du375?'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁸Then all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down: his altars and his images they broke in pieces completely, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah.

¹⁹ Yna cymerodd Jehoiada y capteiniaid a'r Cariaid a'r gwarchodlu, a holl bobl y wlad, i hebrwng y brenin o du375?'r ARGLWYDD, a'i ddwyn trwy borth y gwarchodlu i'r palas a'i osod ar yr orsedd frenhinol.

¹⁹And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the bodyguard, and the couriers, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way through the gate of the couriers into the king's house. And he sat upon the throne of the kings.

²⁰ Llawenhaodd holl bobl y wlad, a daeth llonyddwch i'r ddinas wedi lladd Athaleia �'r cleddyf yn y palas.

²⁰And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they had slain Athaliah with the sword [beside] the king's house.

²¹ Saith oed oedd Jehoas pan ddaeth yn frenin.

²¹Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
