¹ Gadawodd yr ARGLWYDD y cenhedloedd hyn i brofi'r Israeliaid oedd heb gael unrhyw brofiad o ryfeloedd Canaan, a hynny er mwyn i genedlaethau Israel gael profiad,

¹And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;

² ac er mwyn dysgu'r rhai nad oedd ganddynt brofiad blaenorol sut i ryfela.

²only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:

³ Gadawyd pum arglwydd y Philistiaid, y Canaaneaid oll, y Sidoniaid, a'r Hefiaid oedd yn byw ar fynydd-dir Lebanon o Fynydd Baal-hermon hyd Lebo-hamath.

³five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.

⁴ Yr oeddent yno i'r ARGLWYDD brofi Israel drwyddynt, a chael gwybod a fyddent yn ufuddhau i'r gorchmynion a roddodd ef i'w hynafiaid trwy Moses.

⁴And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

⁵ Ymgartrefodd yr Israeliaid ymysg y Canaaneaid, Hethiaid, Amoriaid, Peresiaid, Hefiaid a Jebusiaid;

⁵And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;

⁶ a chymerasant eu merched hwy yn wragedd, a rhoi eu merched eu hunain i'w meibion hwy, ac addoli eu duwiau.

⁶and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

⁷ Gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, ac anghofio'r ARGLWYDD eu Duw ac addoli'r duwiau Baal ac Asera.

⁷And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.

⁸ Cyneuodd llid yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn Israel a gwerthodd hwy i law Cusan-risathaim, brenin Aram-naharaim, a bu'r Israeliaid yn gwasanaethu Cusan-risathaim am wyth mlynedd.

⁸And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.

⁹ Yna gwaeddodd yr Israeliaid ar yr ARGLWYDD, a chododd yr ARGLWYDD achubwr i'r Israeliaid, sef Othniel fab Cenas, brawd iau Caleb, ac fe'u gwaredodd.

⁹And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

¹⁰ Daeth ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD arno, a barnodd Israel a mynd allan i ryfela, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD yn ei law Cusan-risathaim, brenin Aram, ac fe'i trechodd.

¹⁰And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.

¹¹ Yna cafodd y wlad lonydd am ddeugain mlynedd, nes i Othniel fab Cenas farw.

¹¹And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

¹² Unwaith eto gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, a nerthodd ef Eglon brenin Moab yn eu herbyn am iddynt wneud yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD.

¹²And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah.

¹³ Casglodd Eglon yr Ammoniaid a'r Amaleciaid ato, ac ymosododd ar Israel a meddiannu Dinas y Palmwydd.

¹³And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.

¹⁴ Bu'r Israeliaid yn gwasanaethu Eglon brenin Moab am ddeunaw mlynedd.

¹⁴And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

¹⁵ Yna gwaeddodd yr Israeliaid ar yr ARGLWYDD, a chododd ef achubwr iddynt, sef Ehud fab Gera, Benjaminiad a dyn llawchwith; ac anfonodd yr Israeliaid gydag ef deyrnged i Eglon brenin Moab.

¹⁵And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.

¹⁶ Yr oedd Ehud wedi gwneud cleddyf daufiniog, cufydd o hyd, a'i wregysu ar ei glun dde, o dan ei ddillad.

¹⁶And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.

¹⁷ Cyflwynodd y deyrnged i Eglon brenin Moab, a oedd yn ddyn tew iawn.

¹⁷And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.

¹⁸ Ar �l gorffen cyflwyno'r deyrnged, anfonodd ymaith y bobl a fu'n cario'r deyrnged,

¹⁸And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.

¹⁹ ond dychwelodd Ehud ei hun oddi wrth y colofnau ger Gilgal a dweud, "Y mae gennyf neges gyfrinachol iti, O frenin."

¹⁹But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.

²⁰ Galwodd yntau am dawelwch, ac aeth pawb oedd yn sefyll o'i gwmpas allan. Yna nesaodd Ehud ato, ac yntau'n eistedd wrtho'i hunan mewn ystafell haf oedd ganddo ar y to, a dywedodd, "Gair gan Dduw sydd gennyf iti." Cododd yntau oddi ar ei sedd.

²⁰And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.

²¹ Yna estynnodd Ehud ei law chwith, cydiodd yn y cleddyf oedd ar ei glun dde, a'i daro i fol Eglon,

²¹Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;

²² nes bod y carn yn mynd i mewn ar �l y llafn, a'r braster yn cau amdano. Ni thynnodd y cleddyf o'i fol, a daeth allan y tu cefn.

²²and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.

²³ Yna aeth Ehud allan trwy'r cyntedd a chau drysau'r ystafell arno a'u cloi.

²³And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.

²⁴ Wedi iddo fynd i ffwrdd, daeth gweision Eglon, ac wedi edrych a gweld drysau'r ystafell ynghlo, dywedasant, "Rhaid mai esmwyth�u ei gorff y mae yn yr ystafell haf."

²⁴And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.

²⁵ Wedi iddynt ddisgwyl nes bod cywilydd arnynt, ac yntau heb agor drysau'r ystafell, cymerasant allwedd a'u hagor, a dyna lle'r oedd eu meistr wedi syrthio i'r llawr yn farw.

²⁵And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.

²⁶ Yr oedd Ehud wedi dianc tra oeddent hwy'n oedi; aeth heibio i'r colofnau a dianc i Seira.

²⁶And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.

²⁷ Pan gyrhaeddodd, fe ganodd yr utgorn ym mynydd-dir Effraim, a daeth yr Israeliaid i lawr gydag ef o'r mynydd-dir, ac yntau'n eu harwain.

²⁷And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.

²⁸ Dywedodd wrthynt, "Dilynwch fi, oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi eich gelyn Moab yn eich llaw." Aethant hwythau ar ei �l a dal rhydau'r Iorddonen yn erbyn Moab, a rhwystro pawb rhag croesi.

²⁸And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over.

²⁹ Lladdasant y pryd hwnnw tua deng mil o'r Moabiaid, pob un yn heini a grymus; ni ddihangodd neb.

²⁹And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.

³⁰ Darostyngwyd y Moabiaid y diwrnod hwnnw dan law Israel, a chafodd y wlad lonydd am bedwar ugain mlynedd.

³⁰And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.

³¹ Ar ei �l ef bu Samgar fab Anath. Lladdodd ef chwe chant o Philistiaid � swmbwl gyrru ychen. Fe waredodd yntau Israel.

³¹And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel.
