¹ Wedi hyn darparodd Absalom iddo'i hun gerbyd a meirch, a hanner cant o ddynion i redeg o'i flaen.

¹And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

² Codai'n fore, a sefyll ar ochr y ffordd at borth y ddinas, a phan fyddai unrhyw un yn dod ag achos at y brenin am ddedfryd, byddai Absalom yn ei alw ato ac yn holi, "O ba dref yr wyt ti?" A byddai hwnnw'n ateb, "O un o lwythau Israel y mae dy was."

²And Absalom rose early, and stood beside the way of the gate; and it was so, that when any man who had a controversy had to come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

³ Yna byddai Absalom yn dweud, "Edrych, y mae dy achos yn un da a chryf, ond ni chei wrandawiad gan y brenin."

³And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man to hear thee [appointed] by the king.

⁴ Ac ychwanegai Absalom, "O na fyddwn i yn cael fy ngosod yn farnwr dros y wlad! Yna byddai pob un � chu373?yn neu achos ganddo yn dod ataf fi, a byddwn i yn sicrhau cyfiawnder iddo."

⁴And Absalom said, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any controversy and cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!

⁵ Pan fyddai unrhyw un yn agos�u i ymgrymu iddo, byddai ef yn estyn ei law, yn gafael ynddo ac yn ei gusanu.

⁵And it was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.

⁶ Fel hyn y byddai Absalom yn ymddwyn tuag at bob Israeliad oedd yn dod at y brenin am ddedfryd, a denodd fryd pobl Israel.

⁶And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

⁷ Wedi pedair blynedd dywedodd Absalom wrth y brenin, "Gad imi fynd i Hebron a thalu'r adduned a wneuthum i'r ARGLWYDD;

⁷And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay in Hebron my vow which I have vowed to Jehovah.

⁸ oherwydd pan oeddwn yn byw yn Gesur yn Syria, gwnaeth dy was yr adduned hon, 'Os byth y daw'r ARGLWYDD � mi yn �l i Jerwsalem, fe addolaf yr ARGLWYDD.'"

⁸For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode in Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah.

⁹ Dywedodd y brenin, "Dos mewn heddwch!" Aeth yntau i ffwrdd i Hebron.

⁹And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he rose up and went to Hebron.

¹⁰ Yr oedd Absalom wedi anfon negeswyr drwy holl lwythau Israel a dweud wrthynt, "Pan glywch sain yr utgorn, cyhoeddwch, 'Y mae Absalom wedi dod yn frenin yn Hebron.'"

¹⁰And Absalom sent emissaries into all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, ye shall say, Absalom reigns in Hebron.

¹¹ Aeth deucant o wu375?r gydag Absalom o Jerwsalem; yr oeddent wedi eu gwahodd, ac yn mynd yn gwbl ddiniwed, heb wybod dim byd.

¹¹And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew nothing.

¹² Anfonodd Absalom hefyd am Ahitoffel y Giloniad, cynghorydd Dafydd, i ddod o'i dref, Gilo, i fod gydag ef wrth offrymu'r ebyrth. Yr oedd y cynllwyn yn cynyddu, a'r bobl oedd o blaid Absalom yn dal i amlhau.

¹²And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy gathered strength; and the people increased continually with Absalom.

¹³ Daeth rhywun a dweud wrth Ddafydd fod bryd pobl Israel ar Absalom,

¹³And there came one to David who reported saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.

¹⁴ a dywedodd Dafydd wrth ei holl weision oedd gydag ef yn Jerwsalem, "Codwch, inni gael ffoi; onid e, ni fydd modd inni ddianc rhag Absalom; brysiwch oddi yma rhag iddo ef ymosod yn sydyn arnom a pheri niwed inni, a tharo'r ddinas �'r cleddyf."

¹⁴And David said to all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Rise up and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from Absalom. Be quick to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

¹⁵ Dywedodd gweision y brenin wrtho, "Beth bynnag yw penderfyniad ein harglwydd frenin, y mae dy weision yn barod."

¹⁵And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants [will do] whatever my lord the king shall choose.

¹⁶ Yna ymadawodd y brenin, a'i deulu i gyd yn ei ganlyn, gan adael deg o'r gordderchwragedd i ofalu am y tu375?.

¹⁶And the king went forth, and all his household after him, and the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.

¹⁷ Wedi i'r brenin a'r holl fintai oedd yn ei ganlyn fynd allan, safodd ger y tu375? pellaf.

¹⁷And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and stayed at the remote house.

¹⁸ A safodd ei weision gerllaw iddo, tra oedd y Cerethiaid a'r Pelethiaid i gyd, a'r holl Gethiaid, sef y chwe chant o wu375?r oedd wedi dod o Gath i'w ganlyn, yn croesi gerbron y brenin.

¹⁸And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed over before the king.

¹⁹ Gofynnodd y brenin i Itai y Gethiad, "Pam yr wyt ti'n dod gyda ni? Dos yn �l ac aros gyda'r brenin newydd, oherwydd dieithryn wyt ti, ac alltud oddi cartref.

¹⁹And the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king; for thou art a foreigner, and besides, thou hast emigrated to the place where thou [dwellest].

²⁰ Ddoe y daethost ti; a wnaf fi iti grwydro heddiw gyda ni ar daith, a minnau heb wybod i ble'r wyf yn mynd? Dos yn �l, a dos �'th gymrodyr gyda thi; a bydded i'r ARGLWYDD ddangos iti drugaredd a ffyddlondeb."

²⁰Thou didst come yesterday, and should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I can? Return and take back thy brethren. Mercy and truth be with thee!

²¹ Atebodd Itai a dweud wrth y brenin, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, a thithau hefyd, f'arglwydd frenin, ple bynnag yr � f'arglwydd frenin, i farw neu i fyw, yno'n sicr y bydd dy was hefyd."

²¹And Ittai answered the king and said, [As] Jehovah liveth, and [as] my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.

²² Yna dywedodd Dafydd wrth Itai, "Dos ymlaen, ynteu." Felly aeth Itai y Gethiad yn ei flaen, a'i holl bobl a'r holl blant oedd gydag ef.

²²And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.

²³ Yr oedd su373?n wylo mawr trwy'r holl wlad pan oedd y bobl yn croesi. Safodd y brenin wrth nant Cidron nes i'r bobl i gyd fynd drosodd i gyfeiriad yr anialwch.

²³And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over; the king also himself passed over the torrent Kidron, and all the people passed over, towards the way of the wilderness.

²⁴ Yr oedd Sadoc yno hefyd, a'r holl Lefiaid oedd gydag ef yn cario arch cyfamod Duw. Wedi iddynt osod arch Duw i lawr, bu Abiathar yn offrymu nes i'r bobl i gyd ymadael �'r ddinas.

²⁴And behold, Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed completely out of the city.

²⁵ Yna dywedodd y brenin wrth Sadoc, "Dos ag arch Duw yn �l i'r ddinas; os caf ffafr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, fe ddaw � mi yn �l, a gadael imi ei gweld hi a'i chartref.

²⁵And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find favour in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and shew me it, and its habitation.

²⁶ Ond os dywed fel hyn, 'Nid oes arnaf d'eisiau,' dyma fi; caiff wneud fel y myn � mi."

²⁶But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth good to him.

²⁷ Hefyd dywedodd y brenin wrth Sadoc yr offeiriad, "Edrych, fe elli di ac Abiathar ddychwelyd yn ddiogel i'r ddinas, a'ch dau fab gyda chwi, Ahimaas dy fab di a Jonathan, mab Abiathar.

²⁷And the king said to Zadok the priest, Thou art the seer: return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

²⁸ Edrychwch, fe oedaf wrth rydau'r anialwch hyd nes y caf air oddi wrthych i'm hysbysu."

²⁸See, I will stop in the plains of the desert, until there come word from you to inform me.

²⁹ Felly dygodd Sadoc ac Abiathar arch Duw yn �l i Jerwsalem, ac aros yno.

²⁹And Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they abode there.

³⁰ Dringodd Dafydd lethr Mynydd yr Olewydd dan wylo a chuddio'i ben a cherdded yn droednoeth. Yr oedd yr holl bobl oedd gydag ef hefyd yn dringo gan guddio'u pennau ac wylo.

³⁰But David went up by the ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot; and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.

³¹ Dywedwyd wrth Ddafydd fod Ahitoffel ymysg y cynllwynwyr gydag Absalom, a gwedd�odd Dafydd, "O ARGLWYDD, tro gyngor Ahitoffel yn ffolineb."

³¹And one told David saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. Then said David, Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

³² Pan gyrhaeddodd Dafydd y copa, lle byddid yn addoli Duw, dyma Husai yr Arciad yn dod i'w gyfarfod �'i fantell wedi ei rhwygo a phridd ar ei ben.

³²And it came to pass, when David had come to the summit, where he worshipped God, that behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.

³³ Meddai Dafydd wrtho, "Os doi di gyda mi, byddi'n faich arnaf;

³³And David said to him, If thou passest on with me, thou wilt be a burden to me;

³⁴ ond os ei di'n �l i'r ddinas a dweud wrth Absalom, 'Dy was di wyf fi, f'arglwydd frenin; gwas dy dad oeddwn gynt, ond dy was di wyf yn awr', yna gelli ddrysu cyngor Ahitoffel drosof.

³⁴but if thou return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so now will I be thy servant; then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.

³⁵ Bydd gennyt yr offeiriaid Sadoc ac Abiathar gyda thi yno; yr wyt i ddweud wrthynt hwy bob gair a glywi o du375?'r brenin,

³⁵And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? and it shall be, [that] whatsoever thing thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

³⁶ oherwydd y mae'r ddau fachgen, Ahimaas fab Sadoc a Jonathan fab Abiathar, yno gyda hwy, ac fe gewch anfon ataf trwyddynt hwy bob dim a glywch."

³⁶Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's [son], and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send to me everything that ye shall hear.

³⁷ Daeth Husai, cyfaill Dafydd, i'r ddinas fel yr oedd Absalom yn cyrraedd Jerwsalem.

³⁷And Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
