¹ Pan ddaeth Saul yn �l o ymlid y Philistiaid, dywedwyd wrtho fod Dafydd yn niffeithwch En-gedi.

¹And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.

² Felly cymerodd Saul dair mil o wu375?r wedi eu dewis allan o Israel gyfan, a mynd i chwilio am Ddafydd a'i wu375?r ar hyd copa creigiau'r geifr gwylltion.

²Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.

³ Pan ddaeth at gorlannau'r defaid ar y ffordd, yr oedd yno ogof, ac aeth Saul i mewn i esmwytho'i gorff; ond yr oedd Dafydd a'i wu375?r yno ym mhen draw'r ogof.

³And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.

⁴ Ac meddai gwu375?r Dafydd wrtho, "Dyma'r diwrnod y dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrthyt y byddai'n rhoi dy elyn yn dy law, a chei wneud iddo beth a fynni." Cododd Dafydd yn ddistaw a thorrodd gwr y fantell oedd am Saul.

⁴And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

⁵ Ond wedyn pigodd cydwybod Dafydd ef, am iddo dorri cwr mantell Saul,

⁵And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

⁶ a dywedodd wrth ei ddynion, "Yr ARGLWYDD a'm gwared rhag imi wneud y fath beth i'm harglwydd, eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD, ac estyn llaw yn ei erbyn, oherwydd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD yw."

⁶And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.

⁷ Ataliodd Dafydd ei wu375?r �'r geiriau hyn rhag iddynt ymosod ar Saul.

⁷So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

⁸ Pan ymadawodd Saul �'r ogof a mynd i'w daith, aeth Dafydd allan o'r ogof a galw ar ei �l a dweud, "F'arglwydd frenin!" A phan edrychodd Saul yn �l, plygodd Dafydd �'i wyneb at y llawr ac ymgrymu.

⁸David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.

⁹ Yna dywedodd Dafydd wrth Saul, "Pam y gwrandewaist ar eiriau'r dynion sy'n dweud fod Dafydd yn ceisio niwed i ti?

⁹And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?

¹⁰ Heddiw fe weli �'th lygaid dy hun i'r ARGLWYDD dy roi yn fy llaw heddiw yn yr ogof; a dywedwyd wrthyf am dy ladd, ond trugarheais wrthyt a dweud, 'Nid estynnaf fy llaw yn erbyn f'arglwydd, oherwydd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD yw.'

¹⁰Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.

¹¹ Edrych, fy nhad, ie, edrych, dyma gwr dy fantell yn fy llaw. Gan imi dorri cwr dy fantell heb dy ladd, fe ddylit wybod a gweld nad oedd dim malais na gwrthryfel ynof. Ni wneuthum gam � thi, ond eto yr wyt yn ymlid ar fy �l i'm dal.

¹¹Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

¹² Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD farnu rhyngom a dial arnat, ond ni fydd fy llaw i arnat.

¹²The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

¹³ Fel y dywed yr hen ddihareb, 'O'r drygionus y daw drygioni.' Ond ni fydd fy llaw i arnat.

¹³As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

¹⁴ Ar �l pwy yr aeth brenin Israel? Pwy wyt ti'n ei ymlid? Ci marw! Chwannen!

¹⁴After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.

¹⁵ Fe gaiff yr ARGLWYDD fod yn ddyfarnwr a barnu rhyngom a'n gilydd; caiff ef chwilio a dadlau f'achos a'm rhyddhau o'th law."

¹⁵The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.

¹⁶ Wedi i Ddafydd orffen llefaru fel hyn wrth Saul, meddai Saul: "Dafydd, fy mab, ai dy lais di yw hwn?" Yna fe dorrodd allan i wylo.

¹⁶And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

¹⁷ Ac meddai wrth Ddafydd, "Yr wyt ti yn fwy cyfiawn na mi, oherwydd yr wyt ti wedi talu da i mi, a minnau wedi talu drwg i ti.

¹⁷And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.

¹⁸ Ac yr wyt wedi dangos mor dda fuost tuag ataf heddiw, pan oedd yr ARGLWYDD wedi fy rhoi yn dy law, a thithau'n ymatal rhag fy lladd.

¹⁸And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.

¹⁹ Pan fydd rhywun yn dod ar warthaf ei elyn, a yw'n ei adael yn rhydd? Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD dalu'n �l iti'n hael am yr hyn a wnaethost imi heddiw.

¹⁹For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.

²⁰ Mi wn, bellach, mai ti sydd i fod yn frenin, ac y bydd teyrnas Israel yn llwyddo danat;

²⁰And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.

²¹ tynga imi'n awr yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, na fyddi'n difa fy hil ar fy �l nac yn dileu fy enw o'm teulu."

²¹Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.

²² Tyngodd Dafydd i Saul. Yna aeth Saul adref, a Dafydd a'i wu375?r i fyny'n �l i'r lloches.

²²And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
