1 Gadawodd yr ARGLWYDD y cenhedloedd hyn i brofi'r Israeliaid oedd heb gael unrhyw brofiad o ryfeloedd Canaan, a hynny er mwyn i genedlaethau Israel gael profiad,
1Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 ac er mwyn dysgu'r rhai nad oedd ganddynt brofiad blaenorol sut i ryfela.
2only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it:
3 Gadawyd pum arglwydd y Philistiaid, y Canaaneaid oll, y Sidoniaid, a'r Hefiaid oedd yn byw ar fynydd-dir Lebanon o Fynydd Baal-hermon hyd Lebo-hamath.
3the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
4 Yr oeddent yno i'r ARGLWYDD brofi Israel drwyddynt, a chael gwybod a fyddent yn ufuddhau i'r gorchmynion a roddodd ef i'w hynafiaid trwy Moses.
4They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
5 Ymgartrefodd yr Israeliaid ymysg y Canaaneaid, Hethiaid, Amoriaid, Peresiaid, Hefiaid a Jebusiaid;
5The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
6 a chymerasant eu merched hwy yn wragedd, a rhoi eu merched eu hunain i'w meibion hwy, ac addoli eu duwiau.
6and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
7 Gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, ac anghofio'r ARGLWYDD eu Duw ac addoli'r duwiau Baal ac Asera.
7The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
8 Cyneuodd llid yr ARGLWYDD yn erbyn Israel a gwerthodd hwy i law Cusan-risathaim, brenin Aram-naharaim, a bu'r Israeliaid yn gwasanaethu Cusan-risathaim am wyth mlynedd.
8Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
9 Yna gwaeddodd yr Israeliaid ar yr ARGLWYDD, a chododd yr ARGLWYDD achubwr i'r Israeliaid, sef Othniel fab Cenas, brawd iau Caleb, ac fe'u gwaredodd.
9When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 Daeth ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD arno, a barnodd Israel a mynd allan i ryfela, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD yn ei law Cusan-risathaim, brenin Aram, ac fe'i trechodd.
10The Spirit of Yahweh came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11 Yna cafodd y wlad lonydd am ddeugain mlynedd, nes i Othniel fab Cenas farw.
11The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 Unwaith eto gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, a nerthodd ef Eglon brenin Moab yn eu herbyn am iddynt wneud yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD.
12The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
13 Casglodd Eglon yr Ammoniaid a'r Amaleciaid ato, ac ymosododd ar Israel a meddiannu Dinas y Palmwydd.
13He gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 Bu'r Israeliaid yn gwasanaethu Eglon brenin Moab am ddeunaw mlynedd.
14The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Yna gwaeddodd yr Israeliaid ar yr ARGLWYDD, a chododd ef achubwr iddynt, sef Ehud fab Gera, Benjaminiad a dyn llawchwith; ac anfonodd yr Israeliaid gydag ef deyrnged i Eglon brenin Moab.
15But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
16 Yr oedd Ehud wedi gwneud cleddyf daufiniog, cufydd o hyd, a'i wregysu ar ei glun dde, o dan ei ddillad.
16Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17 Cyflwynodd y deyrnged i Eglon brenin Moab, a oedd yn ddyn tew iawn.
17He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 Ar �l gorffen cyflwyno'r deyrnged, anfonodd ymaith y bobl a fu'n cario'r deyrnged,
18When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
19 ond dychwelodd Ehud ei hun oddi wrth y colofnau ger Gilgal a dweud, "Y mae gennyf neges gyfrinachol iti, O frenin."
19But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret errand to you, king.” The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him went out from him.
20 Galwodd yntau am dawelwch, ac aeth pawb oedd yn sefyll o'i gwmpas allan. Yna nesaodd Ehud ato, ac yntau'n eistedd wrtho'i hunan mewn ystafell haf oedd ganddo ar y to, a dywedodd, "Gair gan Dduw sydd gennyf iti." Cododd yntau oddi ar ei sedd.
20Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God to you.” He arose out of his seat.
21 Yna estynnodd Ehud ei law chwith, cydiodd yn y cleddyf oedd ar ei glun dde, a'i daro i fol Eglon,
21Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:
22 nes bod y carn yn mynd i mewn ar �l y llafn, a'r braster yn cau amdano. Ni thynnodd y cleddyf o'i fol, a daeth allan y tu cefn.
22and the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
23 Yna aeth Ehud allan trwy'r cyntedd a chau drysau'r ystafell arno a'u cloi.
23Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
24 Wedi iddo fynd i ffwrdd, daeth gweision Eglon, ac wedi edrych a gweld drysau'r ystafell ynghlo, dywedasant, "Rhaid mai esmwyth�u ei gorff y mae yn yr ystafell haf."
24Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, “Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”
25 Wedi iddynt ddisgwyl nes bod cywilydd arnynt, ac yntau heb agor drysau'r ystafell, cymerasant allwedd a'u hagor, a dyna lle'r oedd eu meistr wedi syrthio i'r llawr yn farw.
25They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 Yr oedd Ehud wedi dianc tra oeddent hwy'n oedi; aeth heibio i'r colofnau a dianc i Seira.
26Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
27 Pan gyrhaeddodd, fe ganodd yr utgorn ym mynydd-dir Effraim, a daeth yr Israeliaid i lawr gydag ef o'r mynydd-dir, ac yntau'n eu harwain.
27It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
28 Dywedodd wrthynt, "Dilynwch fi, oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi eich gelyn Moab yn eich llaw." Aethant hwythau ar ei �l a dal rhydau'r Iorddonen yn erbyn Moab, a rhwystro pawb rhag croesi.
28He said to them, “Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any man to pass over.
29 Lladdasant y pryd hwnnw tua deng mil o'r Moabiaid, pob un yn heini a grymus; ni ddihangodd neb.
29They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
30 Darostyngwyd y Moabiaid y diwrnod hwnnw dan law Israel, a chafodd y wlad lonydd am bedwar ugain mlynedd.
30So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. The land had rest eighty years.
31 Ar ei �l ef bu Samgar fab Anath. Lladdodd ef chwe chant o Philistiaid � swmbwl gyrru ychen. Fe waredodd yntau Israel.
31After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck of the Philistines six hundred men with an oxgoad: and he also saved Israel.
