¹ Yr oedd gan Absalom fab Dafydd chwaer brydferth o'r enw Tamar, a syrthiodd Amnon, un arall o feibion Dafydd, mewn cariad � hi.

¹And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David having a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the son of David loved her.

² Poenodd Amnon nes ei fod yn glaf o achos ei chwaer Tamar; oherwydd yr oedd hi yn wyryf, ac nid oedd yn bosibl yng ngolwg Amnon iddo wneud dim iddi.

²And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed difficult for Amnon to do the least thing to her.

³ Ond yr oedd ganddo gyfaill o'r enw Jonadab, mab Simea brawd Dafydd, ac yr oedd Jonadab yn ddyn cyfrwys iawn.

³And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.

⁴ Gofynnodd hwn iddo, "Pam yr wyt ti'n nychu fel hyn o ddydd i ddydd, O fab y brenin? Oni ddywedi di wrthyf?" Atebodd Amnon, "Yr wyf mewn cariad � Tamar, chwaer fy mrawd Absalom."

⁴And he said to him, Why dost thou, the king's son, get thinner from morning to morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

⁵ Yna dywedodd Jonadab wrtho, "Gorwedd ar dy wely a chymer arnat dy fod yn glaf; a phan ddaw dy dad i'th weld, dywed wrtho, 'Gad i'm chwaer Tamar ddod i roi bwyd imi, a pharatoi'r bwyd yn fy ngolwg, er mwyn i mi gael gweld a bwyta o'i llaw hi.'"

⁵And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed and feign thyself sick; and when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.

⁶ Felly aeth Amnon i'w wely a chymryd arno ei fod yn glaf; a phan ddaeth y brenin i'w weld, dywedodd Amnon wrtho, "Gad i'm chwaer Tamar ddod a gwneud cwpl o deisennau bach o flaen fy llygaid, fel y caf fwyta o'i llaw."

⁶So Amnon lay down and feigned himself sick; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

⁷ Anfonodd Dafydd at Tamar i'r palas a dweud, "Dos yn awr i du375? dy frawd Amnon a pharatoa fwyd iddo."

⁷And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go, I pray thee, to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.

⁸ Fe aeth Tamar i du375? ei brawd Amnon, ac yntau yn ei wely; cymerodd does, a'i dylino a gwneud teisennau bach o flaen ei lygaid, a'u crasu.

⁸And Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he had lain down. And she took flour and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

⁹ Yna cymerodd y badell a'u gosod o'i flaen. Ond gwrthododd Amnon fwyta, a gorchmynnodd iddynt anfon pawb allan.

⁹And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Put every man out from me. And they went out every man from him.

¹⁰ Wedi i bawb fynd allan, dywedodd Amnon wrth Tamar, "Tyrd �'r bwyd i'r siambr imi gael bwyta o'th law." Felly cymerodd Tamar y teisennau a barat�dd, a mynd � hwy at Amnon ei brawd i'r siambr;

¹⁰And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the dish into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

¹¹ ond pan gynigiodd hwy iddo i'w bwyta, ymaflodd ynddi, a dweud wrthi, "Tyrd, fy chwaer, gorwedd gyda mi."

¹¹And she presented them to him to eat; and he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

¹² Dywedodd hithau wrtho, "Na, fy mrawd, paid �'m treisio, oherwydd ni wneir fel hyn yn Israel; paid � gwneud peth mor ff�l.

¹²And she said to him, No, my brother, do not humble me; for no such thing is done in Israel: do not this infamy.

¹³ Amdanaf fi, i ble y gallwn fynd �'m gwarth? A byddit tithau fel un o'r ffyliaid yn Israel. Dos i ofyn i'r brenin, oherwydd ni fyddai'n gwrthod fy rhoi iti."

¹³And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

¹⁴ Ond gwrthododd wrando arni, a threchodd hi a'i threisio a gorwedd gyda hi.

¹⁴But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her.

¹⁵ Yna casaodd Amnon hi � chas perffaith; yn wir yr oedd ei gasineb tuag ati yn fwy na'r cariad a fu ganddo, a dywedodd wrthi, "Cod a dos."

¹⁵And Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.

¹⁶ Dywedodd hithau, "Na, oherwydd y mae fy ngyrru i ffwrdd yn waeth cam na'r llall a wnaethost � mi." Ni fynnai ef wrando arni,

¹⁶And she said to him, There is no cause for this evil in sending me away, [which] is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.

¹⁷ ond galwodd am y llanc oedd yn gweini arno, a dweud, "Gyrrwch hon i ffwrdd oddi wrthyf, a chloi'r drws ar ei h�l."

¹⁷Then he called his young man that attended upon him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.

¹⁸ Yr oedd ganddi fantell amryliw amdani, oherwydd dyna sut yr arferai tywysogesau dibriod wisgo. Pan drodd ei was hi allan a chloi'r drws ar ei h�l,

¹⁸Now she had a vest of many colours upon her; for so were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. And his attendant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

¹⁹ taflodd Tamar ludw drosti ei hun, rhwygo'i mantell amryliw, gosod ei llaw ar ei phen, a mynd allan gan lefain.

¹⁹And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her vest of many colours which was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying out as she went.

²⁰ Gofynnodd ei brawd Absalom iddi, "Ai dy frawd Amnon a fu gyda thi? Taw, yn awr, fy chwaer; dy frawd yw ef, paid � phoeni'n ormodol am hyn." Ond arhosodd Tamar yn alarus yng nghartref ei brawd Absalom.

²⁰And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, be still: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. And Tamar remained, and [that] desolate, in her brother Absalom's house.

²¹ Pan glywodd y brenin Dafydd am hyn i gyd, bu'n ddig iawn, ond ni wastrododd ei fab Amnon, am ei fod yn ei garu, oherwydd ef oedd ei gyntafanedig.

²¹And king David heard of all these things, and he was very angry.

²² Ni ddywedodd Absalom air wrth Amnon na drwg na da; ond yr oedd Absalom yn cas�u Amnon am iddo dreisio ei chwaer Tamar.

²²And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled his sister Tamar.

²³ Ymhen dwy flynedd yr oedd yn ddiwrnod cneifio gan Absalom yn Baal-hasor ger Effraim, ac fe estynnodd wahoddiad i holl feibion y brenin.

²³And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

²⁴ Aeth Absalom at y brenin hefyd, a dweud, "Edrych, y mae gan dy was ddiwrnod cneifio; doed y brenin a'i weision yno gyda'th was."

²⁴And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold, now, thy servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

²⁵ Ond meddai'r brenin wrth Absalom, "Na, na, fy mab, ni ddown i gyd, rhag bod yn ormod o faich arnat." Ac er iddo grefu, gwrthododd fynd; ond rhoes ei fendith iddo.

²⁵And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.

²⁶ Yna dywedodd Absalom, "Os na ddoi di, gad i'm brawd Amnon ddod gyda ni." Gofynnodd y brenin, "Pam y dylai ef fynd gyda thi?"

²⁶And Absalom said, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?

²⁷ Ond wedi i Absalom grefu arno, fe anfonodd gydag ef Amnon a holl feibion y brenin.

²⁷But Absalom pressed him; and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

²⁸ Yna huliodd Absalom wledd frenhinol, a gorchymyn i'w lanciau, "Edrychwch, pan fydd Amnon yn llawen gan win, a minnau'n dweud, 'Tarwch Amnon', yna lladdwch ef. Peidiwch ag ofni; onid wyf fi wedi gorchymyn i chwi? Byddwch yn wrol a dewr."

²⁸And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then slay him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

²⁹ Gwnaeth y llanciau i Amnon yn �l gorchymyn Absalom, a neidiodd holl feibion y brenin ar gefn eu mulod a ffoi.

²⁹And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and they rode each upon his mule and fled.

³⁰ Tra oeddent ar y ffordd, daeth si i glyw Dafydd fod Absalom wedi lladd holl feibion y brenin, heb adael yr un ohonynt.

³⁰And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

³¹ Cododd y brenin a rhwygo'i ddillad; yna gorweddodd ar lawr, a'i holl weision yn sefyll o'i gwmpas �'u dillad wedi eu rhwygo.

³¹Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent.

³² Yna meddai Jonadab mab Simea brawd Dafydd, "Peidied f'arglwydd � meddwl eu bod wedi lladd y bechgyn, meibion y brenin, i gyd; Amnon yn unig sydd wedi marw. Y mae hyn wedi bod ym mwriad Absalom o'r dydd y treisiodd ei chwaer Tamar.

³²And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he humbled his sister Tamar.

³³ Peidied f'arglwydd yn awr � chymryd y peth at ei galon, fel petai holl feibion y brenin wedi marw; Amnon yn unig sy'n farw,

³³And now let not my lord the king take the thing to heart, to say, All the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.

³⁴ ac y mae Absalom wedi ffoi." Fel yr oedd y llanc oedd ar wyliadwriaeth yn edrych allan, gwelodd dwr o bobl yn dod i lawr o gyfeiriad Horonaim. Aeth y gwyliwr a dweud wrth y brenin ei fod wedi gweld dynion yn dod o gyfeiriad Horonaim ar hyd ochr y mynydd.

³⁴And Absalom fled. And the young man that watched lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there came much people from the way behind him, from the hill-side.

³⁵ Dywedodd Jonadab wrth y brenin, "Dacw feibion y brenin yn dod. Y mae wedi digwydd fel y dywedodd dy was."

³⁵And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.

³⁶ Ac fel yr oedd yn gorffen siarad, dyma feibion y brenin yn cyrraedd ac yn torri allan i wylo, nes bod y brenin hefyd a'i holl weision yn wylo'n chwerw.

³⁶And as soon as he had ended speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.

³⁷ Ffodd Absalom, a mynd at Talmai fab Ammihur brenin Gesur; ac yr oedd Dafydd yn parhau i alaru ar �l ei fab.

³⁷And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.

³⁸ Wedi i Absalom ffoi a chyrraedd Gesur, arhosodd yno am dair blynedd.

³⁸Now Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

³⁹ Yna cododd hiraeth ar y Brenin Dafydd am Absalom, unwaith yr oedd wedi ei gysuro am farwolaeth Amnon.

³⁹And king David longed to go forth to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
