¹ Hysbyswyd Joab fod y brenin yn wylo ac yn galaru am Absalom.

¹It was told Joab, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”

² Trodd buddugoliaeth y dydd yn alar i'r holl fyddin wedi iddynt glywed y diwrnod hwnnw fod y brenin yn gofidio am ei fab.

²The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”

³ Sleifiodd y fyddin i mewn i'r ddinas y diwrnod hwnnw, fel y bydd byddin sydd wedi ei chywilyddio ar �l ffoi mewn brwydr.

³The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

⁴ Yr oedd y brenin yn cuddio'i wyneb ac yn gweiddi'n uchel, "Fy mab Absalom, Absalom fy mab, fy mab!"

⁴The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”

⁵ Yna aeth Joab i'r ystafell at y brenin a dweud, "Yr wyt ti heddiw yn gwaradwyddo dy ddilynwyr i gyd, sef y rhai sydd wedi achub dy fywyd di heddiw, a bywydau dy feibion a'th ferched, a bywydau dy wragedd a'th ordderchwragedd.

⁵Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “You have shamed this day the faces of all your servants, who this day have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;

⁶ Trwy ddangos cariad tuag at dy gaseion a chas at dy garedigion, yr wyt ti'n cyhoeddi heddiw nad yw dy swyddogion na'th filwyr yn ddim gennyt. Yn wir fe welaf yn awr y byddit wrth dy fodd heddiw pe byddai Absalom wedi byw a ninnau i gyd wedi marw.

⁶in that you love those who hate you, and hate those who love you. For you have declared this day, that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it would have pleased you well.

⁷ Felly cod, dos allan a dywed air o galondid wrth dy ddilynwyr, neu, onid ei di allan atynt, tyngaf i'r ARGLWYDD, erbyn heno ni fydd gennyt yr un dyn ar �l; a byddi mewn gwaeth trybini na dim sydd wedi digwydd iti o'th febyd hyd yn awr."

⁷Now therefore arise, go out, and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by Yahweh, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”

⁸ Ar hynny cododd y brenin ac eistedd yn y porth; anfonwyd neges at yr holl fyddin fod y brenin yn eistedd yn y porth, a daeth y fyddin gyfan ynghyd gerbron y brenin. Yr oedd yr Israeliaid i gyd wedi ffoi i'w cartrefi.

⁸Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. They told to all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.

⁹ Yna dechreuodd pawb trwy holl lwythau Israel ddadlau a dweud, "Achubodd y brenin ni o afael ein gelynion, ac yn arbennig fe'n gwaredodd ni rhag y Philistiaid. Yn awr y mae wedi ffoi o'r wlad o achos Absalom.

⁹All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

¹⁰ Ond y mae Absalom, a eneiniwyd gennym yn frenin, wedi marw yn y rhyfel; pam felly yr ydych yn oedi dod �'r brenin adref?"

¹⁰Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”

¹¹ Daeth dadleuon yr Israeliaid i gyd i glustiau'r brenin yn ei du375?, ac anfonodd at Sadoc ac Abiathar, yr offeiriaid, iddynt ddweud wrth henuriaid Jwda, "Pam yr ydych chwi'n oedi dod �'r brenin adref?

¹¹King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? Since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house.

¹² Chwi yw fy nhylwyth, fy asgwrn i a'm cnawd; pam yr ydych yn oedi dod �'r brenin adref?

¹²You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’

¹³ Dywedwch wrth Amasa, 'Onid fy asgwrn i a'm cnawd wyt tithau? Fel hyn y gwnelo Duw imi, a rhagor os nad ti o hyn ymlaen fydd capten y llu drosof yn lle Joab.'"

¹³Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually in the room of Joab.’”

¹⁴ Enillodd galon holl wu375?r Jwda'n unfryd, ac anfonasant neges at y brenin, "Tyrd yn �l, ti a'th holl ddilynwyr."

¹⁴He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”

¹⁵ Daeth y brenin yn �l, a phan gyrhaeddodd yr Iorddonen, yr oedd y Jwdeaid wedi cyrraedd Gilgal ar eu ffordd i gyfarfod y brenin a'i hebrwng dros yr Iorddonen.

¹⁵So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.

¹⁶ Brysiodd Simei, mab Gera y Benjaminiad o Bahurim, i fynd i lawr gyda gwu375?r Jwda i gyfarfod y Brenin Dafydd.

¹⁶Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.

¹⁷ Daeth mil o ddynion o Benjamin gydag ef. A rhuthrodd Siba gwas teulu Saul, gyda'i bymtheg mab ac ugain gwas, i lawr at yr Iorddonen o flaen y brenin,

¹⁷There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.

¹⁸ a chroesi'r rhyd i gario teulu'r brenin drosodd, er mwyn ennill ffafr yn ei olwg. Wedi i'r brenin groesi, syrthiodd Simei fab Gera o'i flaen

¹⁸A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he had come over the Jordan.

¹⁹ a dweud wrtho, "O f'arglwydd, paid �'m hystyried yn euog, a phaid � chofio ymddygiad gwarthus dy was y diwrnod y gadawodd f'arglwydd frenin Jerwsalem, na'i gadw mewn cof.

¹⁹He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, nor remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

²⁰ Oherwydd y mae dy was yn sylweddoli iddo bechu, ac am hynny dyma fi wedi dod yma heddiw, yn gyntaf o holl du375? Joseff i ddod i lawr i gyfarfod f'arglwydd frenin."

²⁰For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”

²¹ Ymateb Abisai fab Serfia oedd, "Oni ddylid rhoi Simei i farwolaeth am felltithio eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD?"

²¹But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shall Shimei not be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed?”

²² Ond dywedodd Dafydd, "Beth sydd a wneloch chwi � mi, O feibion Serfia, eich bod yn troi'n wrthwynebwyr imi heddiw? Ni chaiff neb yn Israel ei roi i farwolaeth heddiw, oherwydd oni wn i heddiw mai myfi sy'n frenin ar Israel?"

²²David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be adversaries to me? Shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? For don’t I know that I am this day king over Israel?”

²³ Dywedodd y brenin wrth Simei, "Ni fyddi farw." A thyngodd y brenin hynny wrtho.

²³The king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” The king swore to him.

²⁴ Hefyd fe ddaeth Meffiboseth, u373?yr Saul, i lawr i gyfarfod y brenin. Nid oedd wedi trin ei draed na'i farf, na golchi ei ddillad o'r diwrnod yr ymadawodd y brenin hyd y dydd y dychwelodd yn ddiogel.

²⁴Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

²⁵ Pan gyrhaeddodd o Jerwsalem i gyfarfod y brenin, gofynnodd y brenin iddo, "Pam nad aethost ti gyda mi, Meffiboseth?"

²⁵It happened, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”

²⁶ Atebodd yntau, "O f'arglwydd frenin, fy ngwas a'm twyllodd i; yr oeddwn i wedi bwriadu cyfrwyo asyn a marchogaeth arno yng nghwmni'r brenin, am fy mod yn gloff.

²⁶He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, I will saddle me a donkey, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because your servant is lame.

²⁷ Y mae fy ngwas wedi f'enllibio i wrth f'arglwydd frenin, ond y mae f'arglwydd frenin fel angel Duw; gwna fel y gweli'n dda.

²⁷He has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Do therefore what is good in your eyes.

²⁸ I'm harglwydd frenin nid oedd y cyfan o dylwyth fy nhad ond meirwon, ac eto gosodaist ti dy was ymhlith y rhai oedd yn cael bwyta wrth dy fwrdd; pa hawl bellach sydd gennyf i apelio eto at y brenin?"

²⁸For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more to the king?”

²⁹ Dywedodd y brenin wrtho, "Pam y dywedi ragor? Penderfynais dy fod ti a Siba i rannu'r ystad."

²⁹The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”

³⁰ Dywedodd Meffiboseth wrth y brenin, "Cymered ef y cwbl, gan fod f'arglwydd frenin wedi cyrraedd adref yn ddiogel."

³⁰Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”

³¹ Daeth Barsilai y Gileadiad i lawr o Rogelim a mynd cyn belled �'r Iorddonen i hebrwng y brenin.

³¹Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.

³² Yr oedd Barsilai yn hen iawn, yn bedwar ugain oed, ac ef oedd wedi cynnal y brenin tra oedd yn aros ym Mahanaim, oherwydd yr oedd yn u373?r cefnog iawn.

³²Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

³³ Dywedodd y brenin wrth Barsilai, "Tyrd drosodd gyda mi, a chynhaliaf di tra byddi gyda mi yn Jerwsalem."

³³The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”

³⁴ Ond meddai Barsilai wrth y brenin, "Pa faint rhagor sydd gennyf i fyw, fel y down i fyny i Jerwsalem gyda'r brenin?

³⁴Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

³⁵ Yr wyf yn bedwar ugain oed erbyn hyn; ni allaf ddweud y gwahaniaeth rhwng da a drwg; nid wyf yn medru blasu'r hyn yr wyf yn ei fwyta na'i yfed, na chlywed erbyn hyn leisiau cantorion a chantoresau. Pam y byddwn yn faich pellach ar f'arglwydd frenin?

³⁵I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

³⁶ Yn fuan iawn bydd dy was wedi hebrwng y brenin at yr Iorddonen; pam y dylai'r brenin roi'r fath d�l imi?

³⁶Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?

³⁷ Gad i'th was ddychwelyd, fel y caf farw yn fy ninas fy hun, gerllaw bedd fy nhad a'm mam. Ond dyma dy was Cimham, gad iddo ef groesi gyda'm harglwydd frenin, a gwna iddo ef fel y gweli'n dda."

³⁷Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”

³⁸ Dywedodd y brenin, "Fe gaiff Cimham fynd drosodd gyda mi, a gwnaf iddo fel y gweli di'n dda; a gwnaf i tithau beth bynnag a ddeisyfi gennyf."

³⁸The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you require of me, that I will do for you.”

³⁹ Croesodd yr holl bobl dros yr Iorddonen, tra oedd y brenin yn aros; yna cusanodd y brenin Barsilai, a'i fendithio, ac aeth yntau adref.

³⁹All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.

⁴⁰ Pan groesodd y brenin i Gilgal, aeth Cimham drosodd gydag ef; yr oedd holl filwyr Jwda a hanner milwyr Israel yn ei hebrwng drosodd.

⁴⁰So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

⁴¹ Yna daeth yr holl Israeliaid a dweud wrth y brenin, "Pam y mae'n brodyr, pobl Jwda, wedi dwyn y brenin, a dod ag ef a'i deulu dros yr Iorddonen, a holl filwyr Dafydd gydag ef?"

⁴¹Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”

⁴² Dywedodd holl wu375?r Jwda wrth yr Israeliaid, "Y mae'r brenin yn perthyn yn nes i ni. Pam yr ydych mor ddig am hyn? A ydym ni wedi bwyta o gwbl ar ei draul, neu wedi derbyn unrhyw fantais ganddo?"

⁴²All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”

⁴³ Ateb gwu375?r Israel i wu375?r Jwda ar hyn oedd: "Y mae gennym ni ddengwaith mwy o hawl ar y brenin na chwi, ac yr ydym ni yn hu375?n na chwi hefyd. Pam yr ydych yn ein bychanu ni? Onid ni oedd y cyntaf i s�n am ddod �'n brenin yn �l?" Ond dadleuodd gwu375?r Jwda yn ffyrnicach na gwu375?r Israel.

⁴³The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
