¹ Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua, "Paid ag ofni nac arswydo; cymer y rhyfelwyr i gyd gyda thi, a dos i fyny at Ai. Edrych, yr wyf wedi rhoi yn dy law frenin Ai gyda'i bobl, ei ddinas a'i dir.

¹And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. Take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.

² Gwna i Ai a'i brenin fel y gwnaethost i Jericho a'i brenin, ond cewch gadw ei hanrhaith a'i hanifeiliaid hi yn ysbail i chwi eich hunain. Gosod iti filwyr ynghudd y tu cefn i'r ddinas."

²And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.

³ Cychwynnodd Josua a'r holl fyddin i fyny yn erbyn Ai; a dewisodd Josua ddeng mil ar hugain o ryfelwyr dewr, a'u hanfon ymlaen liw nos.

³And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and sent them away by night.

⁴ Yna gorchmynnodd iddynt fel hyn: "Edrychwch, yr ydych i guddio o olwg y ddinas, y tu cefn iddi; ond peidiwch � mynd yn rhy bell oddi wrthi, a byddwch i gyd yn barod.

⁴And he commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you ready.

⁵ Byddaf fi a'r holl fyddin sydd gyda mi yn agos�u at y ddinas, a phan dd�nt allan i ymosod arnom fel y tro cyntaf, yna byddwn yn ffoi o'u blaen.

⁵And I and all the people that are with me will approach to the city; and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.

⁶ Fe dd�nt hwythau ar ein h�l nes inni eu denu hwy o'r ddinas, gan feddwl ein bod yn ffoi o'u blaen fel y gwnaethom y tro cynt.

⁶And they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first; and we will flee before them.

⁷ Codwch chwithau o'ch cuddfan a meddiannu'r dref, oherwydd bydd yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw yn ei rhoi yn eich llaw.

⁷And ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.

⁸ Wedi ichwi oresgyn y dref, llosgwch hi � th�n. Gwnewch yn �l gair yr ARGLWYDD; edrychwch, dyma fy ngorchymyn i chwi."

⁸And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

⁹ Wedi i Josua eu hanfon ymaith, aethant i guddfan a'u gosod eu hunain rhwng Bethel ac Ai, i'r gorllewin o Ai. Treuliodd Josua'r noson honno gyda'r fyddin.

⁹And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people.

¹⁰ Cododd Josua a'r henuriaid yn fore drannoeth a chynnull y fyddin a'i harwain tuag Ai.

¹⁰And Joshua rose early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

¹¹ Aeth yr holl fyddin oedd gydag ef i fyny, a nes�u at ymyl y dref a gwersyllu i'r gogledd iddi, gyda dyffryn rhyngddynt hwy ac Ai.

¹¹And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.

¹² Yr oedd wedi dewis tua phum mil o wu375?r ac wedi eu rhoi i guddio rhwng Bethel ac Ai i'r gorllewin o'r dref.

¹²Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.

¹³ Yr oedd crynswth y fyddin yn gwersyllu i'r gogledd o'r dref a'r milwyr cudd i'r gorllewin o'r dref; treuliodd Josua y noson honno ar lawr y dyffryn.

¹³And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

¹⁴ Pan welodd brenin Ai hwy, brysiodd ef a dynion y dref yn gynnar yn y bore i fynd allan gyda'r holl fyddin i gyfarfod Israel mewn brwydr ar lecyn yn wynebu'r Araba, heb wybod bod milwyr yn llechu y tu �l i'r dref.

¹⁴And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

¹⁵ Ffodd Josua a'r Israeliaid oll i gyfeiriad yr anialwch, fel pe baent wedi eu taro ganddynt.

¹⁵And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness.

¹⁶ Galwyd yr holl bobl oedd yn y dref i ymlid ar eu h�l; ac wrth iddynt ymlid ar �l Josua, fe'u denwyd i ffwrdd o'r dref.

¹⁶And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

¹⁷ Nid oedd neb ar �l yn Ai na Bethel heb fynd allan ar �l Israel; gadawsant y dref yn benagored a mynd i ymlid yr Israeliaid.

¹⁷And not a man remained in Ai and Bethel that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.

¹⁸ Yna dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua, "Estyn y waywffon sydd yn dy law tuag Ai, oherwydd yr wyf am roi'r dref yn dy law."

¹⁸And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his hand toward the city.

¹⁹ Estynnodd Josua'r waywffon oedd yn ei law tua'r dref; ac fel yr estynnai ei law, cododd y milwyr cudd o'u lle ar unwaith, a rhuthro i mewn i'r dref a'i chipio, a llosgi'r dref heb oedi dim.

¹⁹And the ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand, and came into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.

²⁰ Pan drodd dynion Ai ac edrych yn eu h�l, gwelsant fwg y dref yn esgyn i'r awyr, ond ni allent ffoi nac yma nac acw, gan fod y fyddin a fu'n ffoi tua'r anialwch wedi troi i wynebu ei herlidwyr;

²⁰And the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers.

²¹ oherwydd pan welodd Josua a holl Israel fod y milwyr cudd wedi cipio'r dref, a bod mwg yn codi ohoni, troesant yn eu h�l ac ymosod ar ddynion Ai.

²¹When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

²² Daeth y lleill allan o'r dref i'w cyfarfod, ac felly'r oeddent yn y canol rhwng dwy garfan o Israeliaid; trawyd hwy heb i neb gael ei arbed na dianc.

²²And the others went out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until they let none of them escape or flee away.

²³ Daliwyd brenin Ai yn fyw, a daethant ag ef gerbron Josua.

²³And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

²⁴ Wedi i'r Israeliaid ladd holl drigolion Ai oedd allan yn yr anialwch, lle'r oeddent wedi eu hymlid, a phob un ohonynt wedi syrthio dan fin y cleddyf nes eu difa'n llwyr, yna dychwelodd Israel gyfan i Ai, a'i tharo �'r cleddyf.

²⁴And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

²⁵ Nifer y rhai a syrthiodd y diwrnod hwnnw oedd deuddeng mil, yn wu375?r a gwragedd, sef holl boblogaeth Ai.

²⁵And so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.

²⁶ Ni thynnodd Josua'n �l y llaw oedd yn dal y waywffon nes difa holl drigolion Ai.

²⁶And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

²⁷ Dim ond y gwartheg ac anrhaith y dref a gymerodd yr Israeliaid yn ysbail iddynt eu hunain, yn �l gorchymyn yr ARGLWYDD i Josua.

²⁷Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua.

²⁸ Llosgodd Josua Ai a'i gadael yn domen barhaol a erys yn ddiffaith hyd heddiw.

²⁸And Joshua burned Ai, and made it an everlasting heap of desolation to this day.

²⁹ Crogodd frenin Ai ar grocbren hyd yr hwyr, ac ar fachlud yr haul gorchmynnodd Josua iddynt dynnu ei gorff i lawr o'r crocbren a'i daflu ger y fynedfa i'r dref; codwyd carnedd fawr o gerrig drosto, sydd yno hyd heddiw.

²⁹And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, [which remains] to this day.

³⁰ Yna cododd Josua allor i'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, ym Mynydd Ebal.

³⁰Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,

³¹ Fel yr oedd Moses gwas yr ARGLWYDD wedi gorchymyn i'r Israeliaid, ac fel sy'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr cyfraith Moses, yr oedd yr allor wedi ei hadeiladu o gerrig heb eu naddu na'u trin � haearn. Ac offrymasant arni boethoffrymau i'r ARGLWYDD, ac aberthu heddoffrymau.

³¹as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

³² Yno yng ngu373?ydd yr Israeliaid ysgrifennodd ar feini gopi o gyfraith Moses.

³²And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the children of Israel.

³³ Yr oedd Israel gyfan � ei henuriaid, ei swyddogion, a'i barnwyr � yn sefyll o boptu'r arch, gerbron yr offeiriaid, sef y Lefiaid oedd yn cludo arch cyfamod yr ARGLWYDD. Yr oedd estron a brodor fel ei gilydd yno, hanner ohonynt ar bwys Mynydd Garisim, a hanner ar bwys Mynydd Ebal, fel yr oedd Moses gwas yr ARGLWYDD wedi gorchymyn yn y dechrau ar gyfer bendithio pobl Israel.

³³And all Israel, and their elders, and their officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born [Israelite]; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning.

³⁴ Wedi hynny darllenodd Josua holl eiriau'r gyfraith, y fendith a'r felltith, fel sy'n ysgrifenedig yn llyfr y gyfraith.

³⁴And afterwards he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

³⁵ Ni adawodd Josua air o'r cyfan a orchmynnodd Moses heb ei ddarllen gerbron holl gynulleidfa Israel, gan gynnwys y gwragedd a'r plant a'r estron oedd yn aros yn eu mysg.

³⁵There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them.
