¹ Gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD hwy yn llaw Midian am saith mlynedd.

¹The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

² Am fod Midian yn drech nag Israel parat�dd yr Israeliaid lochesau iddynt eu hunain yn y mynyddoedd, a hefyd ogofeydd a chaerau.

²The hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.

³ Bob tro y byddai'r Israeliaid wedi hau, byddai Midian ac Amalec a'r dwyreinwyr yn dod ac yn ymosod arnynt;

³So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;

⁴ byddent yn gwersyllu yn eu herbyn ac yn distrywio cnwd y ddaear cyn belled � Gasa, heb adael unrhyw beth byw yn Israel, na dafad nac ych nac asyn.

⁴and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, until you come to Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor donkey.

⁵ Pan ddoent hwy a'u hanifeiliaid a'u pebyll, yr oeddent mor niferus � locustiaid; nid oedd rhifo arnynt hwy na'u camelod pan ddoent i'r wlad i'w difrodi.

⁵For they came up with their livestock and their tents; they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.

⁶ Felly aeth Israel yn dlawd iawn o achos Midian; yna galwodd yr Israeliaid ar yr ARGLWYDD.

⁶Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried to Yahweh.

⁷ Wedi iddynt alw ar yr ARGLWYDD o achos Midian,

⁷It happened, when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh because of Midian,

⁸ anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD broffwyd at yr Israeliaid, a dywedodd hwnnw wrthynt, "Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel: 'Myfi a ddaeth � chwi i fyny o'r Aifft, a'ch rhyddhau o du375?'r caethiwed;

⁸that Yahweh sent a prophet to the children of Israel: and he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

⁹ achubais chwi o law'r Eifftiaid a phawb oedd yn eich gormesu, a'u gyrru allan o'ch blaen, a rhoi eu tir ichwi.

⁹and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;

¹⁰ Dywedais wrthych: Myfi yw'r ARGLWYDD, eich Duw; peidiwch ag ofni duwiau'r Amoriaid yr ydych yn byw yn eu gwlad. Ond ni wrandawsoch arnaf.'"

¹⁰and I said to you, “I am Yahweh your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not listened to my voice.’”

¹¹ Daeth angel yr ARGLWYDD ac eistedd dan y dderwen yn Offra, a oedd yn perthyn i Joas yr Abiesriad. Yr oedd ei fab, Gideon, yn dyrnu gwenith mewn gwinwryf, i'w guddio rhag Midian.

¹¹The angel of Yahweh came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

¹² Ymddangosodd angel yr ARGLWYDD iddo a dweud wrtho, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD gyda thi, u373?r dewr."

¹²The angel of Yahweh appeared to him, and said to him, “Yahweh is with you, you mighty man of valor!”

¹³ Ateb-odd Gideon ef, "Ond, syr, os yw'r ARGLWYDD gyda ni, pam y mae hyn i gyd wedi digwydd inni? A phle mae ei holl ryfeddodau y soniodd ein hynafiaid amdanynt, a dweud wrthym, 'Oni ddygodd yr ARGLWYDD ni i fyny o'r Aifft?'

¹³Gideon said to him, “Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, ‘Didn’t Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”

¹⁴ Erbyn hyn y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi'n gadael, a'n rhoi yng ngafael Midian." Trodd angel yr ARGLWYDD ato a dweud, "Dos, gyda'r nerth hwn sydd gennyt, a gwared Israel o afael Midian; onid wyf fi yn dy anfon?"

¹⁴Yahweh looked at him, and said, “Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?”

¹⁵ Atebodd yntau, "Ond, syr, sut y gwaredaf fi Israel? Edrych, fy nhylwyth i yw'r gwannaf yn Manasse, a minnau yw'r distatlaf o'm teulu."

¹⁵He said to him, “O Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” , how shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”

¹⁶ Yna dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Yn sicr byddaf fi gyda thi, a byddi'n taro'r Midianiaid fel pe baent un gu373?r."

¹⁶Yahweh said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.”

¹⁷ Atebodd yntau, "Os cefais ffafr yn d'olwg, yna rho arwydd imi mai ti sy'n siarad � mi.

¹⁷He said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk with me.

¹⁸ Paid � mynd oddi yma cyn imi ddychwelyd atat a chyflwyno fy offrwm a'i osod o'th flaen." Atebodd yntau, "Fe arhosaf nes iti ddod yn �l."

¹⁸Please don’t go away, until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you.” He said, “I will wait until you come back.”

¹⁹ Aeth Gideon a pharatoi myn gafr a phobi bara croyw o beilliaid. Gosododd y cig ar ddysgl a rhoi'r cawl mewn padell, a'u dwyn ato dan y dderwen, a'u cyflwyno.

¹⁹Gideon went in, and prepared a young goat, and unleavened cakes of an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of meal. He put the meat in a basket and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.

²⁰ Yna dywedodd angel Duw wrtho, "Cymer y cig a'r bara croyw a'u rhoi ar y graig acw, a thywallt y cawl." Gwnaeth hynny.

²⁰The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” He did so.

²¹ Estynnodd angel yr ARGLWYDD flaen y ffon oedd yn ei law, a phan gyffyrddodd �'r cig a'r bara croyw, cododd t�n o'r graig a'u llosgi; a diflannodd angel yr ARGLWYDD o'i olwg.

²¹Then the angel of Yahweh stretched out the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire went up out of the rock, and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of Yahweh departed out of his sight.

²² Yna fe sylweddolodd Gideon mai angel yr ARGLWYDD oedd, a dywedodd, "Gwae fi, f'Arglwydd DDUW, am imi weld angel yr ARGLWYDD wyneb yn wyneb."

²²Gideon saw that he was the angel of Yahweh; and Gideon said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh! Because I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face!”

²³ Ond dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Heddwch iti; paid ag ofni, ni byddi farw."

²³Yahweh said to him, “Peace be to you! Don’t be afraid. You shall not die.”

²⁴ Adeiladodd Gideon allor i'r ARGLWYDD yno a'i henwi Jehofa-shalom. Y mae yn Offra Abieser hyd y dydd hwn.

²⁴Then Gideon built an altar there to Yahweh, and called it “Yahweh is Peace or, Yahweh Shalom .” To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

²⁵ Y noson honno dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, "Cymer ych o eiddo dy dad, yr ail ych, yr un seithmlwydd, a thyn i lawr yr allor i Baal sydd gan dy dad, a thor i lawr y pren Asera sydd yn ei hymyl.

²⁵It happened the same night, that Yahweh said to him, “Take your father’s bull, even the second bull seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;

²⁶ Adeilada allor briodol i'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw ar ben y fangre hon; yna cymer yr ail ych a'i offrymu'n boethoffrwm ar goed yr Asera a dorraist i lawr."

²⁶and build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this stronghold, in an orderly way, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down.”

²⁷ Cymerodd Gideon ddeg o'i weision a gwnaeth fel yr oedd yr ARGLWYDD wedi dweud wrtho, ond gan fod arno ofn gwneud hynny liw dydd oherwydd ei deulu a phobl y ddinas, fe'i gwnaeth liw nos.

²⁷Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Yahweh had spoken to him: and it happened, because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

²⁸ Pan gododd pobl y ddinas yn gynnar yn y bore a gweld allor Baal wedi ei bwrw i lawr a'r pren Asera oedd yn ei hymyl wedi ei thorri, a'r ail ych wedi ei offrymu ar yr allor oedd wedi ei chodi,

²⁸When the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered on the altar that was built.

²⁹ yna gofynnodd pawb i'w gilydd, "Pwy a wnaeth hyn?" Ar �l chwilio a holi, dywedasant, "Gideon fab Joas sydd wedi gwneud hyn."

²⁹They said one to another, “Who has done this thing?” When they inquired and asked, they said, “Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.”

³⁰ Yna dywedodd pobl y ddinas wrth Joas, "Tyrd �'th fab allan iddo gael marw, oherwydd y mae wedi bwrw i lawr allor Baal a thorri'r pren Asera oedd yn ei hymyl."

³⁰Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.”

³¹ Ond meddai Joas wrth bawb oedd yn sefyll o'i gwmpas, "A ydych chwi am ddadlau achos Baal? A ydych chwi am ei achub ef? Rhoir pwy bynnag sy'n dadlau drosto i farwolaeth erbyn y bore. Os yw'n dduw, dadleued drosto'i hun am i rywun fwrw ei allor i lawr."

³¹Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has broken down his altar.”

³² A'r diwrnod hwnnw galwyd Gideon yn Jerwbbaal � hynny yw, "Bydded i Baal ddadlau ag ef" � am iddo fwrw ei allor i lawr.

³²Therefore on that day he named him Jerub-Baal, “Jerub-Baal” means “Let Baal contend.” saying, “Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.”

³³ Daeth yr holl Midianiaid a'r Amaleciaid a'r dwyreinwyr ynghyd, a chroesi a gwersyllu yn nyffryn Jesreel.

³³Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.

³⁴ Disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ar Gideon; chwythodd yntau'r utgorn a galw ar yr Abiesriaid i'w ddilyn.

³⁴But the Spirit of Yahweh came on Gideon; and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together after him.

³⁵ Anfonodd negeswyr drwy Manasse gyfan a galw arnynt hwythau hefyd i'w ddilyn. Yna anfonodd negeswyr drwy Aser, Sabulon a Nafftali, a daethant hwythau i'w cyfarfod.

³⁵He sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

³⁶ Dywedodd Gideon wrth Dduw, "Os wyt am waredu Israel drwy fy llaw i, fel yr addewaist,

³⁶Gideon said to God, “If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,

³⁷ dyma fi'n gosod cnu o wl�n ar y llawr dyrnu; os bydd gwlith ar y cnu yn unig, a'r llawr i gyd yn sych, yna byddaf yn gwybod y gwaredi Israel drwof fi, fel y dywedaist."

³⁷behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then shall I know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken.”

³⁸ Felly y bu. Pan gododd fore trannoeth a hel y cnu at ei gilydd, gwasgodd ddigon o wlith ohono i lenwi ffiol �'r du373?r.

³⁸It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

³⁹ Ond meddai Gideon wrth Dduw, "Paid � digio wrthyf os gofynnaf un peth arall; yr wyf am wneud un prawf arall �'r cnu: bydded y cnu'n unig yn sych, a gwlith ar y llawr i gyd."

³⁹Gideon said to God, “Don’t let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once. Please let me make a trial just this once with the fleece. Let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew.”

⁴⁰ Gwnaeth Duw hynny y noson honno, y cnu'n unig yn sych, a gwlith ar y llawr i gyd.

⁴⁰God did so that night: for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
