¹ Gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD hwy yn llaw Midian am saith mlynedd.

¹And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

² Am fod Midian yn drech nag Israel parat�dd yr Israeliaid lochesau iddynt eu hunain yn y mynyddoedd, a hefyd ogofeydd a chaerau.

²And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites the children of Israel made for themselves the dens that are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.

³ Bob tro y byddai'r Israeliaid wedi hau, byddai Midian ac Amalec a'r dwyreinwyr yn dod ac yn ymosod arnynt;

³And it came to pass when Israel sowed, that Midian came up, and Amalek, and the children of the east, and came up against them.

⁴ byddent yn gwersyllu yn eu herbyn ac yn distrywio cnwd y ddaear cyn belled � Gasa, heb adael unrhyw beth byw yn Israel, na dafad nac ych nac asyn.

⁴And they encamped against them, and destroyed the produce of the land, until thou come to Gazah, and they left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.

⁵ Pan ddoent hwy a'u hanifeiliaid a'u pebyll, yr oeddent mor niferus � locustiaid; nid oedd rhifo arnynt hwy na'u camelod pan ddoent i'r wlad i'w difrodi.

⁵For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number; and they entered into the land to destroy it.

⁶ Felly aeth Israel yn dlawd iawn o achos Midian; yna galwodd yr Israeliaid ar yr ARGLWYDD.

⁶And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Midian. And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah.

⁷ Wedi iddynt alw ar yr ARGLWYDD o achos Midian,

⁷And it came to pass when the children of Israel cried to Jehovah because of Midian,

⁸ anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD broffwyd at yr Israeliaid, a dywedodd hwnnw wrthynt, "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel: 'Myfi a ddaeth � chwi i fyny o'r Aifft, a'ch rhyddhau o du375?'r caethiwed;

⁸that Jehovah sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

⁹ achubais chwi o law'r Eifftiaid a phawb oedd yn eich gormesu, a'u gyrru allan o'ch blaen, a rhoi eu tir ichwi.

⁹and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land,

¹⁰ Dywedais wrthych: Myfi yw'r ARGLWYDD, eich Duw; peidiwch ag ofni duwiau'r Amoriaid yr ydych yn byw yn eu gwlad. Ond ni wrandawsoch arnaf.'"

¹⁰and I said to you, I am Jehovah your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But ye have not hearkened to my voice.

¹¹ Daeth angel yr ARGLWYDD ac eistedd dan y dderwen yn Offra, a oedd yn perthyn i Joas yr Abiesriad. Yr oedd ei fab, Gideon, yn dyrnu gwenith mewn gwinwryf, i'w guddio rhag Midian.

¹¹And an angel of Jehovah came and sat under the terebinth that was in Ophrah, that [belonged] to Joash the Abi-ezrite. And his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, to secure [it] from the Midianites.

¹² Ymddangosodd angel yr ARGLWYDD iddo a dweud wrtho, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD gyda thi, u373?r dewr."

¹²And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him, and said to him, Jehovah is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

¹³ Ateb-odd Gideon ef, "Ond, syr, os yw'r ARGLWYDD gyda ni, pam y mae hyn i gyd wedi digwydd inni? A phle mae ei holl ryfeddodau y soniodd ein hynafiaid amdanynt, a dweud wrthym, 'Oni ddygodd yr ARGLWYDD ni i fyny o'r Aifft?'

¹³And Gideon said to him, Ah my Lord, if Jehovah be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all his miracles that our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? And now Jehovah hath cast us off, and given us into the hand of Midian.

¹⁴ Erbyn hyn y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi'n gadael, a'n rhoi yng ngafael Midian." Trodd angel yr ARGLWYDD ato a dweud, "Dos, gyda'r nerth hwn sydd gennyt, a gwared Israel o afael Midian; onid wyf fi yn dy anfon?"

¹⁴And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have not I sent thee?

¹⁵ Atebodd yntau, "Ond, syr, sut y gwaredaf fi Israel? Edrych, fy nhylwyth i yw'r gwannaf yn Manasse, a minnau yw'r distatlaf o'm teulu."

¹⁵And he said to him, Ah Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

¹⁶ Yna dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Yn sicr byddaf fi gyda thi, a byddi'n taro'r Midianiaid fel pe baent un gu373?r."

¹⁶And Jehovah said to him, I will certainly be with thee; and thou shalt smite Midian as one man.

¹⁷ Atebodd yntau, "Os cefais ffafr yn d'olwg, yna rho arwydd imi mai ti sy'n siarad � mi.

¹⁷And he said to him, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, shew me a sign that it is thou who talkest with me.

¹⁸ Paid � mynd oddi yma cyn imi ddychwelyd atat a chyflwyno fy offrwm a'i osod o'th flaen." Atebodd yntau, "Fe arhosaf nes iti ddod yn �l."

¹⁸Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.

¹⁹ Aeth Gideon a pharatoi myn gafr a phobi bara croyw o beilliaid. Gosododd y cig ar ddysgl a rhoi'r cawl mewn padell, a'u dwyn ato dan y dderwen, a'u cyflwyno.

¹⁹And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid of the goats, and an ephah of flour in unleavened cakes: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the terebinth, and presented it.

²⁰ Yna dywedodd angel Duw wrtho, "Cymer y cig a'r bara croyw a'u rhoi ar y graig acw, a thywallt y cawl." Gwnaeth hynny.

²⁰And the Angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

²¹ Estynnodd angel yr ARGLWYDD flaen y ffon oedd yn ei law, a phan gyffyrddodd �'r cig a'r bara croyw, cododd t�n o'r graig a'u llosgi; a diflannodd angel yr ARGLWYDD o'i olwg.

²¹And the Angel of Jehovah put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. And the Angel of Jehovah departed out of his sight.

²² Yna fe sylweddolodd Gideon mai angel yr ARGLWYDD oedd, a dywedodd, "Gwae fi, f'Arglwydd DDUW, am imi weld angel yr ARGLWYDD wyneb yn wyneb."

²²And Gideon perceived that he was an angel of Jehovah; and Gideon said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! for because I have seen an angel of Jehovah face to face ...

²³ Ond dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Heddwch iti; paid ag ofni, ni byddi farw."

²³And Jehovah said to him, Peace be unto thee: fear not; thou shalt not die.

²⁴ Adeiladodd Gideon allor i'r ARGLWYDD yno a'i henwi Jehofa-shalom. Y mae yn Offra Abieser hyd y dydd hwn.

²⁴And Gideon built there an altar to Jehovah, and called it Jehovah-shalom. To this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.

²⁵ Y noson honno dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Cymer ych o eiddo dy dad, yr ail ych, yr un seithmlwydd, a thyn i lawr yr allor i Baal sydd gan dy dad, a thor i lawr y pren Asera sydd yn ei hymyl.

²⁵And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said to him, Take the young bullock, which thy father hath, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;

²⁶ Adeilada allor briodol i'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw ar ben y fangre hon; yna cymer yr ail ych a'i offrymu'n boethoffrwm ar goed yr Asera a dorraist i lawr."

²⁶and build an altar to Jehovah thy God upon the top of this strong place in the ordered manner, and take the second bullock, and offer up a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah that thou shalt cut down.

²⁷ Cymerodd Gideon ddeg o'i weision a gwnaeth fel yr oedd yr ARGLWYDD wedi dweud wrtho, ond gan fod arno ofn gwneud hynny liw dydd oherwydd ei deulu a phobl y ddinas, fe'i gwnaeth liw nos.

²⁷And Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had said to him. And it came to pass, because he feared his father's house, and the men of the city, if he did it by day, that he did it by night.

²⁸ Pan gododd pobl y ddinas yn gynnar yn y bore a gweld allor Baal wedi ei bwrw i lawr a'r pren Asera oedd yn ei hymyl wedi ei thorri, a'r ail ych wedi ei offrymu ar yr allor oedd wedi ei chodi,

²⁸And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered up upon the altar that was built.

²⁹ yna gofynnodd pawb i'w gilydd, "Pwy a wnaeth hyn?" Ar �l chwilio a holi, dywedasant, "Gideon fab Joas sydd wedi gwneud hyn."

²⁹And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.

³⁰ Yna dywedodd pobl y ddinas wrth Joas, "Tyrd �'th fab allan iddo gael marw, oherwydd y mae wedi bwrw i lawr allor Baal a thorri'r pren Asera oedd yn ei hymyl."

³⁰And the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.

³¹ Ond meddai Joas wrth bawb oedd yn sefyll o'i gwmpas, "A ydych chwi am ddadlau achos Baal? A ydych chwi am ei achub ef? Rhoir pwy bynnag sy'n dadlau drosto i farwolaeth erbyn y bore. Os yw'n dduw, dadleued drosto'i hun am i rywun fwrw ei allor i lawr."

³¹And Joash said to all that stood near him, Will *ye* contend for Baal? or will *ye* save him? he that contends for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning. If he be a god, let him plead for himself, because they have broken down his altar.

³² A'r diwrnod hwnnw galwyd Gideon yn Jerwbbaal � hynny yw, "Bydded i Baal ddadlau ag ef" � am iddo fwrw ei allor i lawr.

³²And on that day they called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead with him, because he has broken down his altar.

³³ Daeth yr holl Midianiaid a'r Amaleciaid a'r dwyreinwyr ynghyd, a chroesi a gwersyllu yn nyffryn Jesreel.

³³And all Midian and Amalek and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.

³⁴ Disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ar Gideon; chwythodd yntau'r utgorn a galw ar yr Abiesriaid i'w ddilyn.

³⁴And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Gideon, and he blew the trumpet, and the Abi-ezrites were gathered after him.

³⁵ Anfonodd negeswyr drwy Manasse gyfan a galw arnynt hwythau hefyd i'w ddilyn. Yna anfonodd negeswyr drwy Aser, Sabulon a Nafftali, a daethant hwythau i'w cyfarfod.

³⁵And he sent messengers throughout Manasseh, and they also were gathered after him; and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

³⁶ Dywedodd Gideon wrth Dduw, "Os wyt am waredu Israel drwy fy llaw i, fel yr addewaist,

³⁶And Gideon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,

³⁷ dyma fi'n gosod cnu o wl�n ar y llawr dyrnu; os bydd gwlith ar y cnu yn unig, a'r llawr i gyd yn sych, yna byddaf yn gwybod y gwaredi Israel drwof fi, fel y dywedaist."

³⁷behold, I put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if dew shall be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said.

³⁸ Felly y bu. Pan gododd fore trannoeth a hel y cnu at ei gilydd, gwasgodd ddigon o wlith ohono i lenwi ffiol �'r du373?r.

³⁸And it was so. And when he rose up early on the morrow, he pressed the fleece together, and wrung dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water.

³⁹ Ond meddai Gideon wrth Dduw, "Paid � digio wrthyf os gofynnaf un peth arall; yr wyf am wneud un prawf arall �'r cnu: bydded y cnu'n unig yn sych, a gwlith ar y llawr i gyd."

³⁹And Gideon said to God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once! Let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it, I pray thee, be dry upon the fleece only, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

⁴⁰ Gwnaeth Duw hynny y noson honno, y cnu'n unig yn sych, a gwlith ar y llawr i gyd.

⁴⁰And God did so that night, and it was dry upon the fleece only, but on all the ground there was dew.
