¹ Aeth yr Israeliaid ymlaen, a gwersyllu yn Jericho yng ngwastadedd Moab, y tu draw i'r Iorddonen.

¹And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan from Jericho.

² Yr oedd Balac fab Sippor wedi gweld y cyfan a wnaeth Israel i'r Amoriaid,

²And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

³ a daeth ofn mawr ar Moab am fod yr Israeliaid mor niferus. Yr oedd y Moabiaid yn arswydo rhagddynt,

³And Moab was much afraid of the people, because they were many; and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

⁴ a dywedasant wrth henuriaid Midian, "Bydd y cynulliad hwn yn awr yn llyncu popeth o'n cwmpas, fel y mae'r ych yn llyncu glaswellt y maes." Yr oedd Balac fab Sippor yn frenin Moab ar y pryd,

⁴And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this company lick up all that is round about us, as an ox licks up the green herb of the field. Now Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

⁵ ac anfonodd ef genhadau at Balaam fab Beor yn Pethor, sydd yng ngwlad Amaw ac ar lan yr Ewffrates, a dweud, "Edrych, daeth pobl allan o'r Aifft, a chartrefu ar hyd a lled y wlad, ac y maent bellach gyferbyn � mi.

⁵And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is on the river in the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the land, and they abide over against me.

⁶ Tyrd, yn awr, a melltithia'r bobl hyn imi, oherwydd y maent yn gryfach na mi; yna, hwyrach y gallaf eu gorchfygu a'u gyrru allan o'r wlad, oherwydd gwn y daw bendith i'r sawl yr wyt ti'n ei fendithio, a melltith i'r sawl yr wyt ti'n ei felltithio."

⁶And now come, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are mightier than I: perhaps I may be able to smite them, and drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

⁷ Felly aeth henuriaid Moab a Midian at Balaam, gyda'r t�l am ddewino yn eu llaw, a rhoi iddo'r neges oddi wrth Balac.

⁷And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed, having the rewards of divination in their hand. And they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.

⁸ Dywedodd Balaam wrthynt, "Arhoswch yma heno; dychwelaf � gair atoch, yn �l fel y bydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi llefaru wrthyf." Felly arhosodd tywysogion Moab gyda Balaam. Yna daeth Duw at Balaam, a gofyn,

⁸And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, according as Jehovah shall speak unto me. And the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

⁹ "Pwy yw'r dynion hyn sydd gyda thi?"

⁹And God came to Balaam, and said, Who are these men with thee?

¹⁰ Atebodd Balaam ef, "Anfonodd Balac fab Sippor, brenin Moab, neges ataf yn dweud,

¹⁰And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me,

¹¹ 'Edrych, daeth pobl allan o'r Aifft, a chartrefu ar hyd a lled y wlad; tyrd, yn awr, a melltithia hwy imi; yna hwyrach y gallaf eu gorchfygu a'u gyrru allan.'"

¹¹Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the land. Now come, curse me them: perhaps I may be able to fight against them, and drive them out.

¹² Dywedodd Duw wrth Balaam, "Paid � mynd gyda hwy, na melltithio'r bobl, oherwydd y maent wedi eu bendithio."

¹²And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed.

¹³ Felly cododd Balaam drannoeth, a dweud wrth dywysogion Balac, "Ewch yn �l i'ch gwlad, oherwydd gwrthododd yr ARGLWYDD i mi ddod gyda chwi."

¹³And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go into your land; for Jehovah refuses to give me leave to go with you.

¹⁴ Yna cododd tywysogion Moab a mynd at Balac a dweud, "Y mae Balaam yn gwrthod dod gyda ni."

¹⁴And the princes of Moab rose up; and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam has refused to come with us.

¹⁵ Anfonodd Balac dywysogion eilwaith, ac yr oedd y rhain yn fwy niferus ac anrhydeddus na'r lleill.

¹⁵Then sent Balak yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.

¹⁶ Daethant at Balaam a dweud wrtho, "Dyma a ddywed Balac fab Sippor, 'Paid � gadael i ddim dy rwystro rhag dod ataf;

¹⁶And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be restrained from coming to me;

¹⁷ fe ddeliaf yn gwbl anrhydeddus � thi, ac fe wnaf y cyfan a ddywedi wrthyf; felly tyrd, a melltithia'r bobl hyn imi.'"

¹⁷for very highly will I honour thee, and whatever thou shalt say to me will I do; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

¹⁸ Ond dywedodd Balaam wrth weision Balac, "Pe bai Balac yn rhoi imi lond ei du375? o arian ac aur, ni allaf wneud yn groes i'r hyn y bydd yr ARGLWYDD fy Nuw yn ei orchymyn.

¹⁸And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.

¹⁹ Yn awr, arhoswch yma heno, er mwyn imi wybod beth arall a ddywed yr ARGLWYDD wrthyf."

¹⁹And now, I pray you, abide ye also here this night, and I shall know what Jehovah will say to me further.

²⁰ Daeth Duw at Balaam liw nos, a dweud wrtho, "Os yw'r dynion wedi dod i'th gyrchu, yna dos gyda hwy; ond paid � gwneud dim heblaw'r hyn a orchmynnaf iti."

²⁰Then God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men have come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but only what I shall say unto thee shalt thou do.

²¹ Cododd Balaam drannoeth, ac ar �l cyfrwyo ei asen, aeth gyda thywysogion Moab.

²¹And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

²² Ond digiodd Duw wrtho am fynd, a safodd angel yr ARGLWYDD ar y ffordd i'w rwystro. Fel yr oedd yn marchogaeth ar ei asen, a'i ddau was gydag ef,

²²And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the Angel of Jehovah set himself in the way to withstand him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two young men were with him.

²³ fe welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD yn sefyll ar y ffordd, a chleddyf yn barod yn ei law; felly trodd yr asen oddi ar y ffordd, ac aeth i mewn i gae. Yna trawodd Balaam hi er mwyn ei throi yn �l i'r ffordd.

²³And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field, and Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way.

²⁴ Safodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wedyn ar lwybr yn arwain trwy'r gwinllannoedd, a wal o boptu iddo.

²⁴And the Angel of Jehovah stood in a hollow of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

²⁵ Pan welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD, gwthiodd yn erbyn y wal, gan wasgu troed Balaam rhyngddi a'r wal.

²⁵And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and she pressed herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again.

²⁶ Felly trawodd Balaam yr asen eilwaith. Yna aeth angel yr ARGLWYDD ymlaen a sefyll mewn lle mor gyfyng fel nad oedd modd troi i'r dde na'r chwith.

²⁶Then the Angel of Jehovah went still further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

²⁷ Pan welodd yr asen angel yr ARGLWYDD, gorweddodd dan Balaam; ond gwylltiodd yntau, a tharo'r asen �'i ffon.

²⁷And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff.

²⁸ Yna agorodd yr ARGLWYDD enau'r asen, a pheri iddi ddweud wrth Balaam, "Beth a wneuthum iti, dy fod wedi fy nharo deirgwaith?"

²⁸And Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

²⁹ Atebodd Balaam hi, "Fe wnaethost ffu373?l ohonof. Pe bai gennyf gleddyf yn fy llaw, byddwn yn dy ladd."

²⁹And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee!

³⁰ Yna gofynnodd yr asen i Balaam, "Onid myfi yw'r asen yr wyt wedi ei marchogaeth trwy gydol dy oes hyd heddiw? A wneuthum y fath beth � thi erioed o'r blaen?" Atebodd yntau, "Naddo."

³⁰And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, No.

³¹ Yna agorodd yr ARGLWYDD lygaid Balaam, a phan welodd ef angel yr ARGLWYDD yn sefyll ar y ffordd, a'i gleddyf yn barod yn ei law, plygodd ei ben ac ymgrymu ar ei wyneb.

³¹Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed and prostrated himself on his face.

³² Dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Pam y trewaist dy asen y teirgwaith hyn? Fe ddeuthum i'th rwystro am dy fod yn rhuthro i fynd o'm blaen,

³²And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, it was I who came forth to withstand thee, for the way [thou walkest in] is for ruin before me.

³³ ond gwelodd dy asen fi, a throi oddi wrthyf deirgwaith. Pe na bai wedi troi oddi wrthyf, buaswn wedi dy ladd di ac arbed dy asen."

³³And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times; had she not turned from me, I had now certainly slain thee, and saved her alive.

³⁴ Dywedodd Balaam wrth angel yr ARGLWYDD, "Yr wyf wedi pechu; ni wyddwn dy fod yn sefyll ar y ffordd i'm rhwystro. Yn awr, os yw'r hyn a wneuthum yn ddrwg yn dy olwg, fe ddychwelaf adref."

³⁴And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; and now, if it be evil in thine eyes, I will get me back again.

³⁵ Ond dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrth Balaam, "Dos gyda'r dynion; ond paid � dweud dim heblaw'r hyn a orchmynnaf iti." Felly aeth Balaam yn ei flaen gyda thywysogion Balac.

³⁵And the Angel of Jehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men, but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that shalt thou speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

³⁶ Pan glywodd Balac fod Balaam yn dod, aeth allan i'w gyfarfod yn Ar yn Moab, ar y ffin bellaf ger afon Arnon.

³⁶And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meet him, to the city of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is at the extremity of the border.

³⁷ Dywedodd Balac wrtho, "Onid anfonais neges atat i'th alw? Pam na ddaethost ataf? Oni allaf ddelio'n anrhydeddus � thi?"

³⁷And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why didst thou not come to me? am I not surely able to honour thee?

³⁸ Atebodd Balaam ef, "Dyma fi wedi dod atat! Yn awr, a yw'r gallu gennyf i lefaru unrhyw beth ohonof fy hun? Ni allaf lefaru ond y gair a roddodd Duw yn fy ngenau."

³⁸And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I am come to thee; but shall I now be able at all to say anything? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.

³⁹ Felly aeth Balaam gyda Balac, a chyrraedd Ciriath-husoth.

³⁹And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath-huzoth.

⁴⁰ Yna aberthodd Balac wartheg a defaid, a'u hanfon at Balaam a'r tywysogion oedd gydag ef.

⁴⁰And Balak offered oxen and small cattle, and sent to Balaam and to the princes that were with him.

⁴¹ Trannoeth aeth Balac i gyrchu Balaam i fyny i Bamoth-baal, ac oddi yno fe ganfu fod y bobl yn cyrraedd cyn belled ag y gwelai.

⁴¹And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the extremity of the people.
