¹The men of Kiriath Jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Yahweh.

¹ Yna daeth gwu375?r Ciriath-jearim a chyrchu arch yr ARGLWYDD, a'i dwyn atynt i du375? Abinadab ar y bryn, a chysegru ei fab Eleasar i gadw arch yr ARGLWYDD.

²It happened, from the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh.

² Aeth llawer o amser heibio, tuag ugain mlynedd, er pan ddaeth yr arch i aros yn Ciriath-jearim, ac yr oedd holl du375? Israel yn hiraethu am yr ARGLWYDD.

³Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you do return to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

³ Dywedodd Samuel wrth yr Israeliaid, "Os ydych yn dychwelyd at yr ARGLWYDD �'ch holl galon, bwriwch ymaith y duwiau estron a'r Astaroth o'ch mysg; rhowch eich meddwl ar yr ARGLWYDD, a'i addoli ef yn unig, ac fe'ch achub o law y Philistiaid."

⁴Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served Yahweh only.

⁴ A bwriodd Israel ymaith y Baalim a'r Astaroth, ac addoli'r ARGLWYDD yn unig.

⁵Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to Yahweh.”

⁵ Yna dywedodd Samuel, "Casglwch holl Israel i Mispa, a gwedd�af drosoch ar yr ARGLWYDD."

⁶They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

⁶ Ac wedi iddynt ymgasglu i Mispa, a thynnu du373?r a'i arllwys gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, gwnaethant ympryd yno y diwrnod hwnnw a dweud, "Yr ydym wedi pechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD." Yn Mispa yr oedd Samuel yn barnu Israel.

⁷When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

⁷ Pan glywodd y Philistiaid fod Israel wedi dod ynghyd i Mispa, daeth arglwyddi'r Philistiaid i fyny yn erbyn Israel. Clywodd Israel hynny, a daeth arnynt ofn y Philistiaid, ac meddent wrth Samuel,

⁸The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Don’t cease to cry to Yahweh our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.”

⁸ "Gwedd�a'n ddi-baid drosom ar yr ARGLWYDD ein Duw iddo'n gwaredu ni o law'r Philistiaid."

⁹Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh: and Samuel cried to Yahweh for Israel; and Yahweh answered him.

⁹ Cymerodd Samuel oen sugno a'i offrymu'n boethoffrwm cyfan i'r ARGLWYDD; gwedd�odd ar yr ARGLWYDD dros Israel, ac atebodd yr ARGLWYDD ef.

¹⁰As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Yahweh thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.

¹⁰ Y diwrnod hwnnw, fel yr oedd Samuel yn offrymu'r poethoffrwm, a'r Philistiaid yn nes�u i ymladd ag Israel, cododd yr ARGLWYDD storm daranau yn erbyn y Philistiaid a'u drysu, a gyrrwyd hwy ar ffo o flaen Israel.

¹¹The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, until they came under Beth Kar.

¹¹ Yna aeth gwu375?r Israel allan o Mispa, ac erlid y Philistiaid a'u taro nes dod islaw Beth-car.

¹²Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, “Ebenezer” means “stone of help.” saying, “Yahweh helped us until now.”

¹² Yna cymerodd Samuel faen, a'i osod rhwng Mispa a S�n a'i alw'n Eben-eser, a dweud, "Hyd yma y cynorthwyodd yr ARGLWYDD ni."

¹³So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel. The hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

¹³ Darostyngwyd y Philistiaid ac ni ddaethant eto i diriogaeth Israel; yr oedd llaw'r ARGLWYDD yn erbyn y Philistiaid holl ddyddiau Samuel.

¹⁴The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

¹⁴ Adferwyd i Israel y trefi yr oedd y Philistiaid wedi eu dwyn oddi arni, o Ecron hyd Gath; a rhyddhaodd Israel eu terfynau o afael y Philistiaid. Yr oedd heddwch hefyd rhwng Israel a'r Amoriaid.

¹⁵Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

¹⁵ Bu Samuel yn barnu Israel ar hyd ei oes.

¹⁶He went from year to year in circuit to Bethel and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.

¹⁶ Bob blwyddyn �i ar gylchdaith i Fethel, Gilgal a Mispa, a barnu Israel yn y mannau hyn.

¹⁷His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to Yahweh.

¹⁷ Yna dychwelai i Rama, oherwydd yno'r oedd ei gartref. Barnai Israel yno hefyd, a chododd yno allor i'r ARGLWYDD.
