¹ Yna dywedodd Ahitoffel wrth Absalom, "Gad imi ddewis deuddeng mil o ddynion a mynd ar �l Dafydd heno.

¹And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me, I pray, choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David to-night;

² Dof ar ei warthaf pan fydd yn lluddedig a diymadferth, a chodaf arswyd arno, nes bod pawb sydd gydag ef yn ffoi; ni laddaf neb ond y brenin,

²and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;

³ a dof �'r holl bobl yn �l atat fel priodferch yn dod adref at ei phriod. Bywyd un yn unig sydd arnat ei eisiau; caiff gweddill y bobl lonydd."

³and I will bring back all the people to thee. The man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: all the people shall be in peace.

⁴ Yr oedd Absalom a holl henuriaid Israel yn gweld hwn yn gyngor da,

⁴And the saying was right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.

⁵ ond dywedodd Absalom, "Galwch Husai yr Arciad hefyd er mwyn inni glywed beth sydd ganddo yntau i'w ddweud."

⁵And Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and we will hear also what he says.

⁶ Wedi i Husai gyrraedd, dywedodd Absalom wrtho, "Dyma sut y cynghorodd Ahitoffel. A ddylem dderbyn ei gyngor? Onid e, rho di dy gyngor."

⁶And Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom spoke to him saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner: shall we carry out his word? If not, speak thou.

⁷ Dywedodd Husai wrth Absalom, "Nid yw'r cyngor a roddodd Ahitoffel y tro hwn yn un da."

⁷And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.

⁸ Aeth Husai ymlaen, "Yr wyt ti'n adnabod dy dad a'i ddynion: y maent yn filwyr profiadol, ac mor filain ag arth wyllt wedi ei hamddifadu o'i chenawon; hefyd, y mae dy dad yn gynefin � rhyfela, ni fydd ef yn treulio'r nos gyda'r fyddin, ac y mae eisoes wedi ymguddio mewn ogof neu ryw lecyn arall.

⁸And Hushai said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are of exasperated spirit, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

⁹ Pan leddir rhywrai o blith dy filwyr ar y dechrau, bydd pwy bynnag a fydd yn clywed y newydd yn meddwl bod cyflafan wedi digwydd ymysg y rhai sy'n dilyn Absalom.

⁹Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or some such place; and it will come to pass, when some of them fall at the first, whoever heareth it will say, There has been slaughter among the people that follow Absalom,

¹⁰ Yna fe fydd ysbryd y cryfaf, yr un � chalon fel llew, yn darfod yn llwyr, oherwydd y mae Israel gyfan yn gwybod mai milwr dewr yw dy dad, a bod dynion grymus gydag ef.

¹⁰and even the valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion shall utterly melt; for all Israel knows that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.

¹¹ Yr wyf fi am dy gynghori i gasglu atat Israel gyfan o Dan i Beerseba, mor niferus � thywod glan y m�r, a bod i tithau'n bersonol fynd gyda hwy i'r frwydr.

¹¹But I counsel that all Israel be speedily gathered to thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.

¹² Ac fe ddown ar ei warthaf, ym mha le bynnag y ceir ef; disgynnwn arno fel gwlith yn syrthio ar y ddaear, ac ni adewir dim un ohonynt, ef na'r dynion sydd gydag ef.

¹²And we shall come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.

¹³ Ac os digwydd iddo ddianc i ryw ddinas, bydd Israel gyfan yn taflu rhaffau am y ddinas honno a byddwn yn ei llusgo i'r ceunant, heb adael y garreg leiaf ohoni ar �l."

¹³And if he withdraw into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the torrent, until there be not one small stone found there.

¹⁴ Dywedodd Absalom a'r holl Israeliaid, "Y mae cyngor Husai yr Arciad yn well na chyngor Ahitoffel." Yr ARGLWYDD oedd wedi peri drysu cyngor da Ahitoffel, er mwyn i'r ARGLWYDD ddwyn dinistr ar Absalom.

¹⁴And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. And Jehovah had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, in order that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.

¹⁵ Dywedodd Husai wrth yr offeiriaid Sadoc ac Abiathar, "Fel hyn ac fel hyn yr oedd cyngor Ahitoffel i Absalom a henuriaid Israel; ac fel hyn ac fel hyn y cynghorais innau.

¹⁵And Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.

¹⁶ Anfonwch yn awr ar frys a dywedwch wrth Ddafydd, 'Paid ag aros y nos wrth rydau'r anialwch, ond dos drosodd ar unwaith, rhag i'r brenin a'r holl bobl sydd gydag ef gael eu difa.'"

¹⁶And now send quickly, and tell David saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

¹⁷ Yr oedd Jonathan ac Ahimaas yn aros yn En-rogel, a morwyn yn mynd �'r neges iddynt hwy, a hwythau wedyn yn mynd �'r neges i'r Brenin Dafydd; oherwydd ni feiddient gael eu gweld yn mynd i'r ddinas.

¹⁷And Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and the maid went and told them; and they went and told king David, for they might not be seen to come into the city.

¹⁸ Ond fe welodd bachgen hwy, a dweud wrth Absalom; felly aeth y ddau ar frys nes dod i du375? rhyw ddyn yn Bahurim. Yr oedd gan hwnnw bydew yn ei fuarth ac aethant i lawr iddo.

¹⁸But a lad saw them, and told Absalom. Then they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.

¹⁹ Yna cymerodd ei wraig y caead a'i osod ar geg y pydew a thaenu grawn drosto, fel nad oedd neb yn gwybod.

¹⁹And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn on it; and the thing was not known.

²⁰ Pan ddaeth gweision Absalom at y tu375? a gofyn i'r wraig, "Ple mae Ahimaas a Jonathan?" dywedodd hithau, "Y maent wedi mynd dros y ffrwd ddu373?r." Ond er iddynt chwilio, ni chawsant mohonynt, ac aethant yn �l i Jerwsalem.

²⁰And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And they sought and could not find [them], and returned to Jerusalem.

²¹ Wedi iddynt fynd, daethant hwythau i fyny o'r pydew a mynd �'r neges i'r Brenin Dafydd, a dweud wrtho am groesi'r du373?r ar unwaith, oherwydd bod Ahitoffel wedi cynghori fel y gwnaeth yn eu herbyn.

²¹And it came to pass after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.

²² Dechreuodd Dafydd, a'r holl bobl oedd gydag ef, groesi'r Iorddonen, ac erbyn toriad gwawr nid oedd neb ar �l heb groesi'r Iorddonen.

²²Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; by the morning light there was not one of them missing that had not gone over the Jordan.

²³ Pan welodd Ahitoffel na chymerwyd ei gyngor ef, cyfrwyodd ei asyn a mynd adref i'w dref ei hun. Gosododd drefn ar ei du375?, ac yna fe'i crogodd ei hun. Wedi iddo farw, fe'i claddwyd ym medd ei dad.

²³And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose and went to his house, to his city, and gave charge to his household, and hanged himself, and he died; and he was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

²⁴ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi cyrraedd Mahanaim erbyn i Absalom a holl filwyr Israel gydag ef groesi'r Iorddonen.

²⁴And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

²⁵ Yr oedd Absalom wedi gosod Amasa dros y fyddin yn lle Joab. Yr oedd ef yn fab i ddyn o'r enw Ithra'r Ismaeliad, a oedd wedi priodi Abigal ferch Nahas, chwaer Serfia mam Joab.

²⁵And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab; which Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

²⁶ Gwersyllodd Israel gydag Absalom yn nhir Gilead.

²⁶And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.

²⁷ Wedi i Ddafydd gyrraedd Mahanaim, daeth Sobi fab Nahas o Rabba'r Ammoniaid, a Machir fab Ammiel o Lo-debar, a Barsilai y Gileadiad o Rogelim

²⁷And as soon as David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

²⁸ � gwelyau, powlenni a llestri; hefyd gwenith, haidd, blawd, crasyd, ffa, ffacbys,

²⁸brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],

²⁹ m�l, ceulion o laeth defaid a chaws o laeth gwartheg. Rhoesant hwy i Ddafydd a'r bobl oedd gydag ef i'w bwyta, oherwydd meddent, "Bydd y bobl yn newynog a lluddedig, ac yn sychedig yn yr anialwch."

²⁹and honey, and cream, and sheep, and cheese of kine to David, and to the people that were with him, to eat; for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.
