¹It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

¹ Yn ystod y cyfnod pan oedd y barnwyr yn llywodraethu, bu newyn yn y wlad, ac aeth dyn o Fethlehem Jwda gyda'i wraig a'i ddau fab i fyw dros dro yng ngwlad Moab.

²The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there.

² Elimelech oedd enw'r dyn, Naomi oedd enw ei wraig, a Mahlon a Chilion oedd enwau'r ddau fab. Effrateaid o Fethlehem Jwda oeddent, ac aethant i wlad Moab ac aros yno.

³Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.

³ Ond bu farw Elimelech, gu373?r Naomi, a gadawyd hi'n weddw gyda'i dau fab.

⁴They took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.

⁴ Priododd y ddau � merched o Moab; Orpa oedd enw'r naill a Ruth oedd enw'r llall. Wedi iddynt fod yno tua deng mlynedd,

⁵Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.

⁵ bu farw Mahlon a Chilion ill dau; a gadawyd y wraig yn amddifad o'i dau blentyn yn ogystal ag o'i gu373?r.

⁶Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. had visited his people in giving them bread.

⁶ Penderfynodd hi a'i dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith ddychwelyd o wlad Moab, oherwydd iddi glywed yno i'r ARGLWYDD ymweld �'i bobl a rhoi bwyd iddynt.

⁷She went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

⁷ Gadawodd hi a'i dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith y man lle'r oeddent, a chychwyn yn �l am wlad Jwda.

⁸Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house: Yahweh deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.

⁸ Ac meddai Naomi wrth ei dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith, "Ewch yn �l adref, bob un at ei mam, y ddwy ohonoch; a bydded yr ARGLWYDD mor garedig wrthych chwi ag y buoch chwi wrth y rhai a fu farw ac wrthyf finnau,

⁹Yahweh grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁹ a rhoi i'r ddwy ohonoch orffwysfa mewn cartref gyda gu373?r." Yna fe'u cusanodd, a dechreuodd y ddwy wylo'n uchel,

¹⁰They said to her, “No, but we will return with you to your people.”

¹⁰ a dweud wrthi, "Ond yr ydym ni am ddychwelyd gyda thi at dy bobl."

¹¹Naomi said, “Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

¹¹ Dywedodd Naomi, "Ewch adref, fy merched. Pam y dewch gyda mi? A oes gennyf fi ragor o feibion yn fy nghroth, iddynt ddod yn wu375?r i chwi?

¹²Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons;

¹² Ewch yn �l, fy merched, oherwydd yr wyf fi'n rhy hen i gael gu373?r. Pe bawn i'n dweud bod gennyf obaith cael gu373?r heno, ac yna geni plant,

¹³would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me.”

¹³ a fyddech chwi'n disgwyl nes iddynt dyfu? A fyddech yn ymgadw rhag priodi? Na, fy merched; y mae'n llawer chwerwach i mi nag i chwi am fod llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn f'erbyn i."

¹⁴They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth joined with her.

¹⁴ Wylodd y ddwy yn uchel eto; yna ffarweliodd Orpa �'i mam-yng-nghyfraith, ond glynodd Ruth wrthi.

¹⁵She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”

¹⁵ A dywedodd Naomi, "Edrych, y mae dy chwaer-yng-nghyfraith wedi mynd yn �l at ei phobl a'i duw; dychwel dithau ar ei h�l."

¹⁶Ruth said, “Don’t entreat me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” my God;

¹⁶ Ond meddai Ruth, "Paid �'m hannog i'th adael, na throi'n �l oddi wrthyt, oherwydd i ble bynnag yr ei di, fe af finnau; ac ym mhle bynnag y byddi di'n aros, fe arhosaf finnau; dy bobl di fydd fy mhobl i, a'th Dduw di fy Nuw innau.

¹⁷where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. Yahweh do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me.”

¹⁷ Lle y byddi di farw, y byddaf finnau farw ac yno y'm cleddir. Fel hyn y gwnelo'r ARGLWYDD i mi, a rhagor, os bydd unrhyw beth ond angau yn ein gwahanu ni."

¹⁸When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.

¹⁸ Gwelodd Naomi ei bod yn benderfynol o fynd gyda hi, ac fe beidiodd �'i hannog rhagor.

¹⁹So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they asked, “Is this Naomi?”

¹⁹ Aeth y ddwy ymlaen nes dod i Fethlehem; ac wedi iddynt gyrraedd, bu cyffro trwy'r holl dref o'u plegid, a'r merched yn gofyn, "Ai Naomi yw hon?"

²⁰She said to them, “Don’t call me Naomi. Call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

²⁰ Dywedodd hithau wrthynt, "Peidiwch �'m galw'n Naomi, galwch fi'n Mara; oherwydd bu'r Hollalluog yn chwerw iawn wrthyf.

²¹I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty; why do you call me Naomi, since Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

²¹ Yr oeddwn yn llawn wrth fynd allan, ond daeth yr ARGLWYDD � mi'n �l yn wag. Pam y galwch fi'n Naomi, a'r ARGLWYDD wedi tystio i'm herbyn, a'r Hollalluog wedi dod � drwg arnaf?"

²²So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.

²² Fel hyn y dychwelodd Naomi o wlad Moab, a'i merch-yng-nghyfraith, Ruth y Foabes, gyda hi. Daethant i Fethlehem yn nechrau'r cynhaeaf haidd.
