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."

¹And Nahash the Ammonite cometh up, and encampeth against Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say unto Nahash, `Make with us a covenant, and we serve thee.`

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."

²And Nahash the Ammonite saith unto them, `For this I covenant with you, by picking out to you every right eye — and I have put it a reproach on all Israel.`

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."

³And the elders of Jabesh say to him, `Let us alone seven days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and if there is none saving us — then we have come out unto thee.`

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

⁴And the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up their voice and weep;

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.

⁵and lo, Saul hath come after the herd out of the field, and Saul saith, `What — to the people, that they weep?` and they recount to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

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

⁶And the Spirit of God doth prosper over Saul, in his hearing these words, and his anger burneth greatly,

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.

⁷and he taketh a couple of oxen, and cutteth them in pieces, and sendeth through all the border of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, `He who is not coming out after Saul and after Samuel — thus it is done to his oxen;` and the fear of Jehovah falleth on the people, and they come out as one man.

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

⁸And he inspecteth them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

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.

⁹And they say to the messengers who are coming, `Thus do ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye have safety — by the heat of the sun;` and the messengers come and declare to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice;

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

¹⁰and the men of Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], `To-morrow we come out unto you, and ye have done to us according to all that [is] good in your eyes.`

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.

¹¹And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Saul putteth the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst of the camp in the morning-watch, and smite Ammon till the heat of the day; and it cometh to pass that those left are scattered, and there have not been left of them two together.

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

¹²And the people say unto Samuel, `Who is he that saith, Saul doth reign over us! give ye up the men, and we put them to death.`

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

¹³And Saul saith, `There is no man put to death on this day, for to-day hath Jehovah wrought salvation in Israel.`

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

¹⁴And Samuel saith unto the people, `Come and we go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there;`

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.

¹⁵and all the people go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign there before Jehovah in Gilgal, and sacrifice there sacrifices of peace-offerings before Jehovah, and there Saul rejoiceth — and all the men of Israel — very greatly.
