¹Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

¹ Ymhen tua mis aeth Nahas yr Ammoniad i fyny a gwersyllu yn erbyn Jabes-gilead. Dywedodd holl wu375?r Jabes wrth Nahas, "Gwna gytundeb � ni, ac fe'th wasanaethwn."

²And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.

² Atebodd Nahas yr Ammoniad, "Ar un amod y gwnaf gytundeb � chwi � bod tynnu llygad de pob un ohonoch; a gosodaf hyn yn sarhad ar Israel gyfan."

³And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.

³ Yna meddai henuriaid Jabes wrtho, "Rho inni egwyl o wythnos i anfon negeswyr drwy derfynau Israel i gyd, ac os na chawn neb i'n gwaredu, down allan atat."

⁴Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.

⁴ Daeth y negeswyr at Gibea Saul ac adrodd am hyn yng nghlyw'r bobl, a chododd pawb ei lais ac wylo.

⁵And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

⁵ Yna daeth Saul o'r maes yn dilyn ei wedd o ychen a gofynnodd, "Beth sydd ar y bobl, yn wylo?" A mynegwyd wrtho helyntion gwu375?r Jabes.

⁶And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

⁶ Pan glywodd y pethau hyn, disgynnodd ysbryd Duw ar Saul, a ffromodd yn enbyd.

⁷And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

⁷ Cymerodd yr ychen a'u darnio a'u hanfon drwy holl derfynau Israel yn llaw y negeswyr gyda'r neges, "Pwy bynnag na ddaw allan ar �l Saul a Samuel, dyma a wneir i'w ychen." Syrthiodd ofn oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD ar y genedl, a daethant allan fel un.

⁸And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

⁸ Rhifwyd hwy yn Besec, ac yr oedd tri chan mil o Israeliaid a deng mil ar hugain o Jwdeaid.

⁹And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

⁹ A dywedwyd wrth y negeswyr a ddaeth o Jabes, "Dywedwch wrth bobl Jabes-gilead, 'Erbyn canol dydd yfory cewch waredigaeth.'" Pan gyrhaeddodd y negeswyr a dweud wrth bobl Jabes, bu llawenydd.

¹⁰Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.

¹⁰ A dywedodd gwu375?r Jabes wrth Nahas, "Yfory down allan atoch a chewch wneud a fynnoch � ni."

¹¹And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.

¹¹ Trannoeth, rhannodd Saul y bobl yn dair mintai, a daethant i ganol y gwersyll yn ystod y wyliadwriaeth fore a tharo'r Ammoniaid hyd ganol dydd; chwalwyd y gweddill oedd ar �l, fel nad oedd dau ohonynt gyda'i gilydd.

¹²And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

¹² Yna dywedodd y bobl wrth Samuel, "Pwy oedd yn dweud, 'A gaiff Saul deyrnasu trosom?'? Dygwch y dynion, a rhown hwy i farwolaeth."

¹³And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.

¹³ Ond dywedodd Saul, "Ni roddir neb i farwolaeth ar y dydd hwn, a'r ARGLWYDD wedi ennill y fath fuddugoliaeth heddiw yn Israel."

¹⁴Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.

¹⁴ Dywedodd Samuel wrth y bobl, "Dewch, awn i Gilgal ac adnewyddu'r frenhiniaeth yno."

¹⁵And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

¹⁵ Felly aeth y bobl i gyd i Gilgal, a gwneud Saul yn frenin yno yn Gilgal yng ngu373?ydd yr ARGLWYDD, ac aberthu heddoffrymau yno o flaen yr ARGLWYDD. A bu Saul a holl wu375?r Israel yn llawen iawn yno.
