¹When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

¹ Pan glywodd mab Saul fod Abner wedi marw yn Hebron, digalonnodd, ac yr oedd Israel gyfan mewn dryswch.

²Saul’s son had two men who were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin:

² Yr oedd gan fab Saul ddau ddyn yn benaethiaid ar finteioedd; Baana oedd enw un a Rechab oedd enw'r llall. Meibion i Rimmon o Beeroth oeddent, ac aelodau o lwyth Benjamin.

³and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).

³ Ystyrid bod Beeroth yn perthyn i Benjamin, er bod trigolion Beeroth wedi ffoi i Gittaim ac wedi aros yno hyd heddiw fel dyfodiaid.

⁴Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.

⁴ Yr oedd mab gan Jonathan fab Saul oedd yn gloff yn ei draed. Pum mlwydd oed ydoedd pan ddaeth y newydd o Jesreel am Saul a Jonathan; cododd ei famaeth ef a ffoi, ond wrth iddi frysio i ffoi, fe syrthiodd ef a chael ei gloffi. Meffiboseth oedd ei enw.

⁵The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, as he took his rest at noon.

⁵ Aeth Rechab a Baana, meibion Rimmon o Beeroth, i du375? Isboseth yng ngwres y dydd, tra oedd ef yn gorffwys ganol dydd.

⁶They came there into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they struck him in the body: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

⁶ Yr oedd y wraig a oedd yn cadw drws y tu375? wedi bod yn glanhau gwenith, ond yr oedd wedi hepian a chysgu, a llithrodd Rechab a'i frawd heibio iddi.

⁷Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, and killed him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.

⁷ Pan ddaethant i'r tu375?, yr oedd ef yn gorwedd ar ei wely yn ei ystafell gysgu, a thrawsant ef yn farw a thorri ei ben i ffwrdd, ac yna cymryd ei ben a mynd drwy'r nos ar hyd ffordd yr Araba.

⁸They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! Yahweh has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.”

⁸ Daethant � phen Isboseth at Ddafydd i Hebron, a dweud wrth y brenin, "Dyma ben Isboseth, mab Saul, dy elyn oedd yn ceisio dy fywyd. Rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD ddial heddiw i'n harglwydd frenin ar Saul a'i blant."

⁹David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

⁹ Ond atebodd Dafydd Rechab a'i frawd Baana, meibion Rimmon o Beeroth, a dweud, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD, a'm gwaredodd o bob cyfyngdra, yn fyw,

¹⁰when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.

¹⁰ pan ddaeth un i'm hysbysu fod Saul wedi marw, gan dybio'i fod yn dwyn newydd da, fe gydiais ynddo a'i ladd yn Siclag; dyna a roddais i hwnnw am ei newyddion!

¹¹How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?”

¹¹ Pa faint mwy pan fo dynion drwg wedi lladd dyn cyfiawn yn ei gartref, ar ei wely? Oni fyddaf yn awr yn ceisio iawn am ei waed oddi ar eich llaw chwi, a'ch difa oddi ar y ddaear?"

¹²David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.

¹² Rhoddodd Dafydd orchymyn i'w lanciau, a lladdasant hwy, a thorri eu dwylo a'u traed i ffwrdd, a'u crogi wrth y pwll yn Hebron. Yna cymerwyd pen Isboseth a'i gladdu ym meddrod Abner yn Hebron.
