1 Pan glywodd yr holl frenhinoedd y tu hwnt i'r Iorddonen, yn y mynydd-dir a'r Seffela ac arfordir y M�r Mawr wrth Lebanon, yn Hethiaid, Amoriaid, Canaaneaid, Peresiaid a Jebusiaid,
1It happened, when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it
2 daethant ynghyd fel un i ryfela yn erbyn Josua ac Israel.
2that they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 Pan glywodd trigolion Gibeon yr hyn yr oedd Josua wedi ei wneud i Jericho ac Ai,
3But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
4 dyma hwythau'n gweithredu'n gyfrwys. Aethant a darparu bwyd, a llwytho'u hasynnod � hen sachau, a hen wingrwyn tyllog wedi eu trwsio.
4they also resorted to a ruse, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins, old and torn and bound up,
5 Rhoesant am eu traed hen sandalau wedi eu clytio, a hen ddillad amdanynt; a bara wedi sychu a llwydo oedd eu bwyd.
5and old and patched shoes on their feet, and wore old garments. All the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.
6 Yna daethant at Josua i wersyll Gilgal, a dweud wrtho ef a phobl Israel, "Yr ydym wedi dod o wlad bell; felly gwnewch gyfamod � ni'n awr."
6They went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now therefore make a covenant with us.”
7 Ond meddai pobl Israel wrth yr Hefiaid, "Efallai eich bod yn byw yn ein hymyl, ac os felly, sut y gwnawn ni gyfamod � chwi?"
7The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “What if you live among us. How could we make a covenant with you?”
8 Dywedasant wrth Josua, "Dy weision di ydym." Pan ofynnodd Josua iddynt, "Pwy ydych, ac o ble y daethoch?",
8They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”
9 atebasant, "Y mae dy weision wedi dod o wlad bell iawn o achos enw'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw; oblegid clywsom s�n amdano ef, ac am y cwbl a wnaeth yn yr Aifft,
9They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far country because of the name of Yahweh your God; for we have heard of his fame, all that he did in Egypt,
10 ac i ddau frenin yr Amoriaid y tu hwnt i'r Iorddonen, Sehon brenin Hesbon ac Og brenin Basan, a drigai yn Astaroth.
10and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
11 Am hynny dywedodd ein henuriaid a holl drigolion ein gwlad wrthym, 'Cymerwch fwyd ar gyfer y daith ac ewch i'w cyfarfod, a dywedwch wrthynt, "Eich gweision ydym; felly'n awr gwnewch gyfamod � ni."'
11Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and tell them, “We are your servants. Now make a covenant with us.”’
12 Dyma'n bara; yr oedd yn boeth pan oeddem yn darparu i fynd oddi cartref, y diwrnod yr oeddem yn cychwyn i ddod atoch. Edrychwch fel y mae'n awr wedi sychu a llwydo.
12This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we went out to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and has become moldy.
13 A dyma'r gwingrwyn oedd yn newydd pan lanwasom hwy; edrychwch, y maent wedi rhwygo. A dyma'n dillad a'n sandalau wedi treulio gan bellter mawr y daith."
13These wineskins, which we filled, were new; and behold, they are torn. These our garments and our shoes have become old because of the very long journey.”
14 Cymerodd pobl Israel beth o'u bwyd heb ymgynghori �'r ARGLWYDD.
14The men sampled their provisions, and didn’t ask counsel from the mouth of Yahweh.
15 Gwnaeth Josua heddwch � hwy, a gwneud cyfamod i'w harbed, a thyngodd arweinwyr y gynulleidfa iddynt.
15Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live. The princes of the congregation swore to them.
16 Ymhen tridiau wedi iddynt wneud y cyfamod � hwy, clywsant mai cymdogion yn byw yn eu hymyl oeddent.
16It happened at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them.
17 Wrth i'r Israeliaid deithio ymlaen, daethant ar y trydydd dydd i'w trefi hwy, Gibeon, Ceffira, Beeroth a Ciriath-jearim.
17The children of Israel traveled and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim.
18 Ond nid ymosododd yr Israeliaid arnynt, oherwydd bod arweinwyr y gynulleidfa wedi tyngu iddynt yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, er i'r holl gynulleidfa rwgnach yn erbyn yr arweinwyr.
18The children of Israel didn’t strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel. All the congregation murmured against the princes.
19 Ond dywedodd yr holl arweinwyr wrth y gynulleidfa gyfan, "Yr ydym ni wedi tyngu iddynt yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, ac yn awr ni allwn gyffwrdd � hwy.
19But all the princes said to all the congregation, “We have sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
20 Dyma a wnawn iddynt: arbedwn eu bywydau, rhag i ddigofaint ddisgyn arnom oherwydd y llw a dyngasom."
20This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which we swore to them.”
21 Ac meddai'r arweinwyr wrthynt, "C�nt fyw, er mwyn iddynt dorri coed a thynnu du373?r i'r holl gynulleidfa." Cytunodd yr holl gynulleidfa �'r hyn a ddywedodd yr arweinwyr.
21The princes said to them, “Let them live, so they became wood cutters and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the princes had spoken to them.”
22 Galwodd Josua arnynt a dweud wrthynt, "Pam y bu ichwi ein twyllo a honni eich bod yn byw yn bell iawn i ffwrdd oddi wrthym, a chwithau'n byw yn ein hymyl?
22Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, “Why have you deceived us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you live among us?
23 Yn awr yr ydych dan y felltith hon: bydd gweision o'ch plith yn barhaol yn torri coed ac yn tynnu du373?r ar gyfer tu375? fy Nuw."
23Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you will never fail to be bondservants, both wood cutters and drawers of water for the house of my God.”
24 Atebasant Josua fel hyn: "Fe ddywedwyd yn glir wrthym ni, dy weision, fod yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw wedi gorchymyn i'w was Moses roi i chwi y wlad gyfan, a distrywio o'ch blaen ei holl drigolion; am hynny yr oedd arnom ofn mawr am ein heinioes o'ch plegid, a dyna pam y gwnaethom hyn.
24They answered Joshua, and said, “Because your servants were certainly told how Yahweh your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
25 Yr ydym yn awr yn dy law; gwna inni yr hyn yr wyt ti'n ei dybio sy'n iawn."
25Now, behold, we are in your hand. Do to us as it seems good and right to you to do.”
26 A dyna a wnaeth Josua iddynt y diwrnod hwnnw: fe'u hachubodd o law'r Israeliaid rhag iddynt eu lladd,
26He did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they didn’t kill them.
27 a'u gosod i dorri coed ac i dynnu du373?r i'r gynulleidfa ar gyfer allor yr ARGLWYDD yn y lle a ddewisai ef; ac felly y maent hyd heddiw.
27That day Joshua made them wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day, in the place which he should choose.
