1 Llefarodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Josua a dweud,
1Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 "Dywed wrth yr Israeliaid am neilltuo dinasoedd noddfa, fel y gorchmynnais iddynt trwy Moses,
2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Assign the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,
3 er mwyn i'r sawl sydd wedi lladd rhywun trwy amryfusedd, neu'n anfwriadol, gael ffoi iddynt, a chael noddfa ynddynt rhag y dialydd gwaed.
3that the manslayer who kills any person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there. They shall be to you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.
4 Pan fydd rhywun yn ffoi i un o'r dinasoedd hyn, y mae i sefyll wrth fynediad porth y ddinas, ac adrodd ei achos yng nghlyw henuriaid y ddinas honno. Os byddant yn caniat�u iddo ddod i mewn atynt i'r ddinas, byddant yn nodi lle ar ei gyfer, a chaiff aros yno gyda hwy.
4He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city. They shall take him into the city with them, and give him a place, that he may live among them.
5 Os daw'r dialydd gwaed ar ei �l, nid ydynt i ildio'r lleiddiad iddo, oherwydd yn anfwriadol y lladdodd ef ei gymydog, ac nid oedd yn ei gas�u'n flaenorol.
5If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, and didn’t hate him before.
6 Caiff aros yn y ddinas honno nes iddo sefyll ei brawf gerbron y gynulleidfa. Ar farwolaeth y sawl fydd yn archoffeiriad ar y pryd, caiff y lleiddiad fynd yn �l i'w gartref yn y dref y ffodd ohoni."
6He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days. Then the manslayer shall return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city he fled from.’”
7 Neilltuasant Cedes yn Galilea ym mynydd-dir Nafftali, Sichem ym mynydd�dir Effraim, a Ciriath-arba, sef Hebron, ym mynydd�dir Jwda.
7They set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
8 Y tu hwnt i'r Iorddonen, i'r dwyrain o Jericho, nodasant Beser ar y gwastatir yn yr anialwch, o lwyth Reuben; Ramoth yn Gilead o lwyth Gad, a Golan yn Basan o lwyth Manasse.
8Beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Nodwyd y dinasoedd hyn ar gyfer yr holl Israeliaid, a'r dieithriaid oedd dros dro yn eu mysg, er mwyn i'r sawl fyddai wedi lladd rhywun mewn amryfusedd ffoi iddynt, rhag iddo farw trwy law dialydd gwaed cyn sefyll ei brawf gerbron y gynulleidfa.
9These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the alien who lives among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands before the congregation.
