¹Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

¹ Aeth Dafydd i Nob at yr offeiriad Ahimelech. Daeth yntau i'w gyfarfod dan grynu, a gofyn iddo, "Pam yr wyt ti ar dy ben dy hun, heb neb gyda thi?"

²And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

² Ac meddai Dafydd wrth yr offeiriad Ahimelech, "Y brenin sydd wedi rhoi gorchymyn imi, a dweud wrthyf, 'Nid yw neb i wybod dim pam yr anfonais di, na beth a orchmynnais iti.' Ac yr wyf wedi rhoi cyfarwyddyd i'r milwyr ifainc i'm cyfarfod yn y fan a'r fan.

³Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

³ Yn awr, beth sydd gennyt wrth law? Gad imi gael pum torth, neu'r hyn sydd gennyt."

⁴And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

⁴ Atebodd yr offeiriad, "Nid oes gennyf ddim bara cyffredin wrth law; ond y mae yma fara cysegredig � os yw'r milwyr wedi ymgadw'n llwyr oddi wrth wragedd."

⁵And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

⁵ Atebodd Dafydd, "Yn wir y mae'n hen arfer gennym ymgadw oddi wrth wragedd pan fyddaf yn cychwyn ar ymgyrch, fel bod arfau'r milwyr yn gysegredig; ac os yw felly ar siwrnai gyffredin, pa faint mwy y bydd yr arfau'n gysegredig heddiw?"

⁶So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

⁶ Yna fe roddodd yr offeiriad iddo'r bara cysegredig, gan nad oedd yno ddim ond y bara gosod oedd wedi ei symud o bresenoldeb yr ARGLWYDD, er mwyn gosod bara ffres ar ddiwrnod y cyfnewid.

⁷Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.

⁷ Ar y pryd, yr oedd un o weision Saul yno dan adduned gerbron yr ARGLWYDD; ei enw oedd Doeg yr Edomiad, ac ef oedd penbugail Saul.

⁸And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.

⁸ Gofynnodd Dafydd i Ahimelech, "Onid oes yma waywffon neu gleddyf wrth law gennyt? Oherwydd ni ddeuthum �'m cleddyf na'm harfau gyda mi, am fod cymaint brys gyda gorchymyn y brenin."

⁹And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.

⁹ Atebodd yr offeiriad, "Beth am gleddyf Goliath y Philistiad, y dyn a leddaist yn nyffryn Ela? Y mae hwnnw yma wedi ei lapio mewn brethyn y tu �l i'r effod. Os wyt ti am hwnnw, cymer ef, oherwydd nid oes yma yr un arall ond hwnnw."

¹⁰And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

¹⁰ Ac meddai Dafydd, "Nid oes debyg iddo; rho ef imi." Y diwrnod hwnnw ymadawodd Dafydd, ac er mwyn ffoi oddi wrth Saul, aeth at Achis brenin Gath.

¹¹And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

¹¹ Gofynnodd gweision Achis iddo, "Onid hwn yw Dafydd, brenin y wlad? Onid am hwn y maent yn canu wrth ddawnsio, 'Lladdodd Saul ei filoedd, a Dafydd ei fyrddiynau'?"

¹²And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

¹² Cymerodd Dafydd y geiriau hyn at ei galon, ac ofnodd rhag Achis brenin Gath.

¹³And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

¹³ Newidiodd ei ymddygiad o'u blaen, a dechrau ymddwyn fel ynfytyn yn eu mysg, a chripio drysau'r porth, a glafoerio hyd ei farf.

¹⁴Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

¹⁴ Ac meddai Achis wrth ei weision, "Gallwch weld bod y dyn yn wallgof; pam y daethoch ag ef ataf fi?

¹⁵Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?

¹⁵ A wyf yn brin o ynfydion, fel eich bod yn dod � hwn o'm blaen i ynfydu? A ddaw hwn i'm tu375??"
