¹ Pan fu farw Abeia, a'i gladdu yn Ninas Dafydd, daeth ei fab Asa yn frenin yn ei le. Yn ystod ei deyrnasiad ef cafodd y wlad lonydd am ddeng mlynedd.

¹So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

² Gwnaeth Asa yr hyn oedd dda ac uniawn yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw.

²Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yahweh his God:

³ Symudodd ymaith allorau'r duwiau dieithr a'r uchelfeydd, a dryllio'r colofnau a chwalu delwau Asera.

³for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim,

⁴ Anogodd Jwda i geisio ARGLWYDD Dduw eu hynafiaid a chadw'r gyfraith a'r gorchmynion,

⁴and commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

⁵ ac fe symudodd ymaith o holl ddinasoedd Jwda yr uchelfeydd a'r allorau. Cafodd y deyrnas lonydd yn ei oes ef.

⁵Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

⁶ Adeiladodd ddinasoedd caerog yn Jwda tra oedd y wlad yn cael llonydd, ac ni fu rhyfel yn ei erbyn yn ystod y blynyddoedd hynny am fod yr ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi heddwch iddo.

⁶He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Yahweh had given him rest.

⁷ Dywedodd wrth Jwda, "Gadewch i ni adeiladu'r dinasoedd hyn a'u hamgylchu � muriau gyda thyrau, a dorau a barrau. Y mae'r wlad yn dal yn agored o'n blaen am i ni geisio'r ARGLWYDD ein Duw. Yr ydym ni wedi ei geisio ef, ac y mae yntau wedi rhoi heddwch i ni oddi amgylch." Felly, adeiladodd y bobl a llwyddo.

⁷For he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.

⁸ Yr oedd gan Asa fyddin o dri chan mil o wu375?r Jwda yn dwyn tarian a gwaywffon, a dau gant a phedwar ugain mil o wu375?r Benjamin yn dwyn tarian a thynnu bwa; yr oeddent oll yn wroniaid.

⁸Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.

⁹ Daeth Sera yr Ethiopiad yn eu herbyn gyda byddin o filiwn, a thri chant o gerbydau.

⁹There came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million troops, and three hundred chariots; and he came to Mareshah.

¹⁰ Pan gyrhaeddodd Maresa, daeth Asa allan yn ei erbyn, a pharatoesant i ymladd yn nyffryn Seffatha, yn ymyl Maresa.

¹⁰Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

¹¹ Galwodd Asa ar yr ARGLWYDD ei Dduw a dweud, "O ARGLWYDD, nid oes neb fel ti i gynorthwyo'r gwan yn erbyn y cryf; cynorthwya ni, O ARGLWYDD ein Duw, oherwydd yr ydym yn ymddiried ynot, ac yn dy enw di y daethom yn erbyn y dyrfa hon. O ARGLWYDD, ein Duw ni wyt ti; na fydded i neb gystadlu � thi."

¹¹Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.”

¹² Felly, gorchfygodd yr ARGLWYDD yr Ethiopiaid o flaen Asa a Jwda. Fe ffoesant,

¹²So Yahweh struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

¹³ gydag Asa a'i fyddin yn eu herlid, hyd at Gerar, lle syrthiodd cymaint ohonynt o flaen yr ARGLWYDD a'i fyddin fel na allent adennill eu nerth.

¹³Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Yahweh, and before his army; and they carried away very much booty.

¹⁴ Casglodd gwu375?r Jwda anrhaith mawr iawn, a choncro'r holl ddinasoedd o gwmpas Gerar, am fod ofn yr ARGLWYDD arnynt. Anrheithiasant yr holl ddinasoedd am fod ysbail mawr iawn ynddynt.

¹⁴They struck all the cities around Gerar; for the fear of Yahweh came on them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.

¹⁵ Ymosodasant hefyd ar gorlannau'r anifeiliaid a chario ymaith lawer o ddefaid a chamelod, ac yna dychwelyd i Jerwsalem.

¹⁵They struck also the tents of livestock, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
