1 Wedi hyn ymofynnodd Dafydd �'r ARGLWYDD a gofyn, "A af i fyny i un o drefi Jwda?" Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Dos." Gofynnodd Dafydd, "I ba un?" Atebodd yr ARGLWYDD, "I Hebron."
1And it came to pass after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2 Felly fe aeth Dafydd i fyny yno, a'i ddwy wraig, Ahinoam o Jesreel ac Abigail, gwraig Nabal, o Garmel;
2So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
3 hefyd fe aeth Dafydd �'r gwu375?r oedd ganddo, bob un �'i deulu, a thrigo yn nhref Hebron.
3And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 Yna daeth gwu375?r Jwda, ac eneinio Dafydd yno yn frenin ar du375? Jwda. Dywedwyd wrth Ddafydd mai gwu375?r Jabes-gilead oedd wedi claddu Saul,
4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul.
5 ac anfonodd Dafydd negeswyr atynt a dweud wrthynt, "Bendith yr ARGLWYDD arnoch am ichwi wneud y gymwynas hon �'ch arglwydd Saul, a'i gladdu.
5And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!
6 Ac yn awr bydded i'r ARGLWYDD ddangos caredigrwydd a ffyddlondeb atoch chwithau; a gwnaf finnau ddaioni i chwi, am ichwi wneud y peth hwn.
6And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.
7 Byddwch gryf a dewr yn awr; y mae eich arglwydd Saul wedi marw, ond y mae tu375? Jwda wedi f'eneinio i yn frenin arnynt."
7And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 Yr oedd Abner fab Ner, cadfridog Saul, wedi cymryd Isboseth fab Saul ac wedi mynd ag ef drosodd i Mahanaim.
8And Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9 Gwnaeth ef yn frenin dros Gilead, pobl Aser, Jesreel, Effraim a Benjamin, a thros Israel gyfan.
9and made him king over Gilead, and over the Asshurites, and over Jizreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Deugain oed oedd Isboseth fab Saul pan ddaeth yn frenin ar Israel, a theyrnasodd am ddwy flynedd; ond yr oedd tu375? Jwda yn dilyn Dafydd.
10Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. However, the house of Judah followed David.
11 Saith mlynedd a chwe mis oedd hyd y cyfnod y bu Dafydd yn frenin ar du375? Jwda yn Hebron.
11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 Aeth Abner fab Ner gyda dilynwyr Isboseth allan o Mahanaim tua Gibeon.
12And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Aeth Joab fab Serfia a dilynwyr Dafydd allan hefyd; a chyfarfu'r ddau wrth bwll Gibeon, gyda'r naill fintai ar un ochr i'r pwll, a'r llall yr ochr arall.
13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool.
14 Ac meddai Abner wrth Joab, "Gad i'r llanciau ddod a chynnal gornest o'n blaenau." Cytunodd Joab.
14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Yna daethant ymlaen, a chyfrifwyd deuddeg o lwyth Benjamin ar ochr Isboseth fab Saul, a deuddeg o blith dilynwyr Dafydd.
15And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 Cydiodd pob un ym mhen ei wrthwynebydd a thrywanu ei gleddyf i'w ystlys, a syrthiodd y cwbl gyda'i gilydd; am hynny galwyd y lle hwnnw sydd yn Gibeon yn Helcath-hasurim.
16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
17 Bu brwydr galed iawn y diwrnod hwnnw, a threchwyd Abner fab Ner a'r Israeliaid gan ddilynwyr Dafydd.
17And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
18 Yr oedd tri mab Serfia yno, Joab, Abisai ac Asahel; ac yr oedd Asahel cyn gyflymed ei draed ag unrhyw ewig ar y dd�l.
18And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field.
19 Rhedodd Asahel ar �l Abner heb wyro i'r dde na'r chwith oddi ar ei �l.
19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner.
20 Edrychodd Abner o'i �l a dywedodd, "Ai ti sydd yna, Asahel?" Atebodd yntau, "Ie."
20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am.
21 Dywedodd Abner wrtho, "Tro draw i'r dde neu i'r chwith, a dal un o'r llanciau, a chymer ei arfau ef." Ond ni fynnai Asahel droi oddi ar ei �l.
21And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
22 Dywedodd Abner eto wrth Asahel, "Tro draw oddi wrthyf; pam y mae'n rhaid imi dy daro i'r llawr? Sut y gallwn wynebu dy frawd Joab?"
22And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23 Ond gwrthododd droi draw, a thrawodd Abner ef yn ei fol � b�n ei waywffon, nes iddi ddod allan trwy ei gefn. Syrthiodd i lawr, ac yno y bu farw. Ac wrth ddod heibio'r fan y bu i Asahel syrthio a marw, safai pawb yn ei unfan.
23But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24 Ond daliodd Joab ac Abisai i ymlid ar �l Abner, ac fel yr oedd yr haul yn machlud, daethant at fryn Amma sydd gyferbyn � Gia, i gyfeiriad anialwch Gibeon.
24And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Ymgasglodd y Benjaminiaid at Abner, ac ymffurfio'n un fintai a sefyll ar gopa bryn Amma.
25And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill.
26 Yna gwaeddodd Abner ar Joab a dweud, "A yw'r cleddyf i ddifa am byth? Oni wyddost mai chwerw fydd diwedd hyn? Am ba hyd y gwrthodi ddweud wrth y milwyr am beidio ag erlid eu perthnasau?"
26And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
27 Atebodd Joab, "Cyn wired � bod Duw yn fyw, oni bai dy fod wedi siarad, ni fyddai'r milwyr wedi peidio ag ymlid eu perthnasau tan y bore."
27And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Yna seiniodd Joab yr utgorn, a pheidiodd yr holl bobl ag ymlid yr Israeliaid, na brwydro rhagor.
28And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.
29 Aeth Abner a'i ddynion ar draws yr Araba drwy'r nos, a chroesi'r Iorddonen, a dal ymlaen drwy gydol y bore nes dod i Mahanaim.
29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30 A phan ddaeth Joab yn ei �l o ddilyn Abner, fe gasglodd y bobl ynghyd, ac yr oedd pedwar ar bymtheg o ddilynwyr Dafydd yn eisiau, yn ogystal ag Asahel.
30And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
31 Yr oedd dilynwyr Dafydd wedi lladd o blith Benjamin dri chant a thrigain o filwyr Abner. Cymerwyd Asahel a'i gladdu ym medd ei dad ym Methlehem.
31And the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men, who had died.
32 Yna cerddodd Joab a'i ddynion drwy'r nos, a chyrraedd Hebron fel yr oedd yn dyddio.
32And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
