¹ Aeth Samson i Timna, ac yno sylwodd ar un o ferched y Philistiaid.

¹And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

² Pan ddychwelodd, dywedodd wrth ei dad a'i fam, "Yr wyf wedi gweld un o ferched y Philistiaid yn Timna; cymerwch honno'n wraig imi."

²And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.

³ Ac meddai ei dad a'i fam wrtho, "Onid oes gwraig iti ymhlith merched dy gymrodyr a'th holl geraint? Pam yr ei i geisio gwraig o blith y Philistiaid dienwaededig?" Ond dywedodd Samson wrth ei dad, "Cymer honno imi, oherwydd hi sydd wrth fy modd."

³Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

⁴ Ni wyddai ei dad a'i fam mai oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD yr oedd hyn, ac mai ceisio achos yn erbyn y Philistiaid yr oedd ef. Yr adeg honno y Philistiaid oedd yn arglwyddiaethu ar Israel.

⁴But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

⁵ Aeth Samson i lawr gyda'i dad a'i fam i Timna, a phan gyrhaeddodd winllannoedd Timna, daeth llew ifanc i'w gyfarfod dan ruo.

⁵Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

⁶ Disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ar Samson, a holltodd y llew ifanc fel hollti myn, heb ddim yn ei law; ond ni ddywedodd wrth ei rieni beth a wnaeth.

⁶And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

⁷ Yna aeth Samson yn ei flaen i siarad gyda'r ferch, a'i chael wrth ei fodd.

⁷And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

⁸ Pan ddych-welodd ymhen amser i'w phriodi, trodd i edrych ar ysgerbwd y llew, a dyna lle'r oedd haid o wenyn a m�l y tu mewn i'r corff.

⁸And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.

⁹ Cymerodd beth o'r m�l yn ei law, ac aeth yn ei flaen dan fwyta, nes dod at ei dad a'i fam; rhoddodd beth hefyd iddynt hwy i'w fwyta, heb ddweud wrthynt mai o gorff y llew y daeth y m�l.

⁹And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.

¹⁰ Aeth ei dad i lawr at y ferch, a gwnaeth Samson wledd yno yn �l arfer y gwu375?r ifainc.

¹⁰So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

¹¹ Pan welsant ef, dewiswyd deg ar hugain o gyfeillion i gadw cwmni iddo.

¹¹And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

¹² Ac meddai Samson wrthynt, "Yr wyf am osod pos i chwi; os llwyddwch i'w ateb yn gywir yn ystod saith diwrnod y wledd, rhof i chwi ddeg darn ar hugain o frethyn a deg siwt ar hugain o ddillad.

¹²And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

¹³ Ond os methwch roi'r ateb imi, rhaid i chwi roi i mi ddeg darn ar hugain o frethyn a deg siwt ar hugain o ddillad."

¹³But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.

¹⁴ Dywedasant wrtho, "Mynega dy bos, inni ei glywed." A dywedodd wrthynt: "o'r bwytawr fe ddaeth bwyd, ac o'r cryf fe ddaeth melystra." Am dridiau buont yn methu ateb y pos.

¹⁴And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

¹⁵ Ar y pedwerydd dydd dywedasant wrth wraig Samson, "Huda dy u373?r i ddatgelu'r pos inni, neu fe'th losgwn di a'th deulu. Ai er mwyn ein tlodi y rhoesoch wahoddiad inni yma?"

¹⁵And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

¹⁶ Aeth gwraig Samson ato yn ei dagrau a dweud, "Fy nghas�u yr wyt ti, nid fy ngharu; rwyt wedi gosod pos i lanciau fy mhobl heb ei egluro i mi." Ac meddai yntau, "Nid wyf wedi ei egluro i'm tad a'm mam; pam yr eglurwn ef i ti?"

¹⁶And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?

¹⁷ Bu'n wylo wrtho trwy gydol y saith diwrnod y cynhaliwyd y wledd, ac ar y seithfed dydd fe'i heglurodd iddi, am ei bod wedi ei flino. Eglurodd hithau'r pos i lanciau ei phobl.

¹⁷And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

¹⁸ A dywedodd dynion y dref wrtho ar y seithfed diwrnod, cyn i'r haul fachlud: "Beth sy'n felysach na m�l, a beth sy'n gryfach na llew?" Dywedodd yntau wrthynt: "Oni bai i chwi aredig �'m heffer, ni fyddech wedi datrys fy mhos."

¹⁸And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? and he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

¹⁹ Yna disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD arno, aeth i lawr i Ascalon a lladdodd ddeg ar hugain o ddynion. Cymerodd eu gwisgoedd a rhoi'r siwtiau i'r rhai a atebodd y pos, ond yr oedd wedi digio'n enbyd ac aeth yn ei �l adref.

¹⁹And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.

²⁰ Rhoddwyd gwraig Samson i'w gyfaill, a fu'n was priodas iddo.

²⁰But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
