1It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
1 Tua throad y flwyddyn, yr adeg y byddai'r brenhinoedd yn mynd i ryfela, arweiniodd Joab y fyddin allan a distrywio Ammon a gosod Rabba dan warchae; ond fe arhosodd Dafydd yn Jerwsalem. Trawodd Joab Rabba a'i dinistrio.
2David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set on David’s head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
2 Yna cymerodd Dafydd goron eu brenin oddi ar ei ben a chael ei bod yn pwyso talent o aur, a bod gem gwerthfawr ynddi; fe'i rhoed ar ben Dafydd.
3He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut them with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
3 Dygodd o'r ddinas lawer o ysbail, ac aeth �'r bobl oedd ynddi ymaith a'u gosod i lafurio � llifiau a cheibiau heyrn a bwyeill. Gwnaeth Dafydd yr un modd � holl drefi'r Ammoniaid, ac yna dychwelodd ef a'r holl fyddin i Jerwsalem.
4It happened after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
4 Ar �l hynny bu rhyfel yn erbyn y Philistiaid yn Geser. Y tro hwnnw lladdwyd Sippai, un o dylwyth y Reffaim, gan Sibbechai yr Husathiad.
5There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
5 A bu rhyfel eilwaith yn erbyn y Philistiaid, a lladdwyd Lahmi, brawd Goliath o Gath, gan Elhanan fab Jair; yr oedd coes gwaywffon Goliath fel carfan gwehydd.
6There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
6 Pan fu rhyfel eto yn Gath, yr oedd yno gawr o ddyn gyda chwech o fysedd ar bob llaw a throed, pedwar ar hugain i gyd; ac yr oedd yntau yn hanu o'r Reffaim.
7When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.
7 Bwriodd sen ar Israel, ond lladdwyd ef gan Jonathan fab Simei, brawd Dafydd.
8These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
8 Yr oedd y rhain yn hanu o'r Reffaim yn Gath, a chwympasant trwy law Dafydd a'i weision.
