¹ Dywedodd Samuel wrth holl Israel, "Edrychwch, yr wyf wedi gwrando ar bopeth a ddywedasoch wrthyf, a gosod brenin arnoch.

¹And Samuel saith unto all Israel, `Lo, I have hearkened to your voice, to all that ye said to me, and I cause to reign over you a king,

² Yn awr, dyma'r brenin fydd yn eich arwain. Yr wyf fi'n hen a phenwyn, ac y mae fy meibion gyda chwi. B�m yn eich arwain, o'm hieuenctid hyd heddiw.

²and now, lo, the king is walking habitually before you, and I have become aged and gray-headed, and my sons, lo, they [are] with you, and I have walked habitually before you from my youth till this day.

³ Dyma fi; tystiwch yn f'erbyn gerbron yr ARGLWYDD a'i eneiniog: a gymerais ych unrhyw un? A gymerais asyn unrhyw un? A dwyllais rywun? A orthrymais rywun? A dderbyniais gil-dwrn oddi wrth rywun i gau fy llygaid? Dewch � thystiolaeth, ac fe'i rhoddaf yn �l."

³`Lo, here [am] I; testify against me, over-against Jehovah, and over-against His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose ass have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide mine eyes with it? — and I restore to you.`

⁴ Ond dywedasant, "Nid wyt ti wedi'n twyllo na'n gorthrymu, nac wedi cymryd dim gan neb."

⁴And they say, `Thou hast not oppressed us, nor hast thou crushed us, nor hast thou taken from the hand of any one anything.`

⁵ Yna dywedodd wrthynt, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dyst yn eich erbyn heddiw, a'i eneiniog hefyd, na chawsoch un dim yn fy meddiant." "Ydyw, y mae'n dyst," meddai'r bobl.

⁵And he saith unto them, `A witness [is] Jehovah against you: and a witness [is] His anointed this day, that ye have not found anything in my hand;` and they say, `A witness.`

⁶ Dywedodd Samuel, "Y tyst yw yr ARGLWYDD, a gododd Moses ac Aaron, ac a ddygodd eich hynafiaid i fyny o wlad yr Aifft;

⁶And Samuel saith unto the people, `Jehovah — He who made Moses and Aaron, and who brought up your fathers out of the land of Egypt!

⁷ felly safwch mewn trefn er mwyn imi ymresymu � chwi gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, ynglu375?n �'r holl weithredoedd achubol a wnaeth yr ARGLWYDD drosoch chwi a'ch hynafiaid.

⁷and, now, station yourselves, and I judge you before Jehovah, with all the righteous acts of Jehovah, which He did with you, and with your fathers.

⁸ Wedi i Jacob ddod i lawr i'r Aifft, gwaeddodd eich hynafiaid ar yr ARGLWYDD; anfonodd yntau Moses ac Aaron, a daethant hwy �'ch hynafiaid allan o'r Aifft a'u rhoi i fyw yn y lle hwn.

⁸`When Jacob hath come in to Egypt, and your fathers cry unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sendeth Moses and Aaron, and they bring out your fathers from Egypt, and cause them to dwell in this place,

⁹ Ond oherwydd iddynt anghofio'r ARGLWYDD eu Duw, gwerthodd hwy i law Sisera, pennaeth byddin Hasor, ac i'r Philistiaid, ac i frenin Moab; a bu'r rhain yn rhyfela yn eu herbyn.

⁹and they forget Jehovah their God, and He selleth them into the hand of Sisera, head of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fight against them,

¹⁰ Yna bu iddynt weiddi ar yr ARGLWYDD a dweud, 'Yr ydym ar fai am inni gefnu ar yr ARGLWYDD ac addoli'r Baalim a'r Astaroth; ond yn awr, achub ni o law ein gelynion, ac fe'th addolwn di.'

¹⁰and they cry unto Jehovah, and say, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and now, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we serve Thee.

¹¹ Anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD Jerwbbaal, Bedan, Jefftha a Samuel, a gwaredodd chwi o law y gelynion o'ch cwmpas, a chawsoch fyw'n ddiogel.

¹¹`And Jehovah sendeth Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivereth you out of the hand of your enemies round about, and ye dwell confidently.

¹² Ond pan welsoch Nahas brenin yr Ammoniaid yn dod yn eich erbyn, dywedasoch wrthyf, 'Na, rhaid cael brenin i deyrnasu arnom', er bod yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw yn frenin arnoch.

¹²`And ye see that Nahash king of the Bene-Ammon hath come against you, and ye say to me, Nay, but a king doth reign over us; and Jehovah your God [is] your king!

¹³ Yn awr, dyma'r brenin yr ydych wedi ei ddewis a gofyn amdano; ydyw, y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi brenin i chwi.

¹³And, now, lo, the king whom ye have chosen — whom ye have asked! and lo, Jehovah hath placed over you a king.

¹⁴ Os byddwch yn ofni'r ARGLWYDD, ac yn ei addoli ef ac yn ufuddhau iddo heb wrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, ac os byddwch chwi a'r brenin a osodir arnoch yn dilyn yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw, popeth yn dda.

¹⁴`If ye fear Jehovah, and have served Him, and hearkened to His voice, then ye do not provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and ye have been — both ye and the king who hath reigned over you — after Jehovah your God.

¹⁵ Ond os na wrandewch ar yr ARGLWYDD, ond gwrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, yna bydd llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn eich erbyn chwi a'ch brenin i'ch difa.

¹⁵`And if ye do not hearken to the voice of Jehovah — then ye have provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and the hand of Jehovah hath been against you, and against your fathers.

¹⁶ Yn awr, safwch yma a gwelwch y peth mawr hwn y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn ei wneud o flaen eich llygaid.

¹⁶`Also now, station yourselves and see this great thing which Jehovah is doing before your eyes;

¹⁷ Onid yw'n adeg y cynhaeaf gwenith? Galwaf ar yr ARGLWYDD i anfon taranau a glaw, a chewch weld a gwybod eich bod wedi cyflawni trosedd mawr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD drwy ofyn am frenin."

¹⁷is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I call unto Jehovah, and He doth give voices and rain; and know ye and see that your evil is great which ye have done in the eyes of Jehovah, to ask for you a king.`

¹⁸ Yna galwodd Samuel ar yr ARGLWYDD, ac anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD daranau a glaw y diwrnod hwnnw, ac ofnodd yr holl bobl yr ARGLWYDD a Samuel.

¹⁸And Samuel calleth unto Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth voices and rain, on that day, and all the people greatly fear Jehovah and Samuel;

¹⁹ Dywedodd yr holl bobl wrth Samuel, "Gwedd�a ar yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw ar ein rhan, rhag inni farw, oherwydd yr ydym wedi ychwanegu at ein holl bechodau y drwg hwn o geisio inni frenin."

¹⁹and all the people say unto Samuel, `Pray for thy servants unto Jehovah thy God, and we do not die, for we have added to all our sins evil to ask for us a king.`

²⁰ Dywedodd Samuel wrth y bobl, "Peidiwch ag ofni, er i chwi wneud yr holl ddrwg hwn; peidiwch � throi i ffwrdd oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD; addolwch yr ARGLWYDD �'ch holl galon.

²⁰And Samuel saith unto the people, `Fear not; ye have done all this evil; only, turn not aside from after Jehovah — and ye have served Jehovah with all your heart,

²¹ Peidiwch � throi at wagedd eilunod na fedrant gynorthwyo na gwaredu am mai gwagedd ydynt.

²¹and ye do not turn aside after the vain things which do not profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain,

²² Er mwyn ei enw mawr ni fydd yr ARGLWYDD yn gwrthod ei bobl; oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dymuno'ch gwneud yn bobl iddo.

²²for Jehovah doth not leave His people, on account of His great name; for Jehovah hath been pleased to make you to Him for a people.

²³ A phell y bo oddi wrthyf finnau bechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD trwy roi'r gorau i wedd�o drosoch a'ch hyfforddi yn y ffordd dda ac uniawn.

²³`I, also, far be it from me to sin against Jehovah, by ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in the good and upright way;

²⁴ Yn unig ofnwch yr ARGLWYDD, a gwasanaethwch ef mewn gwirionedd ac �'ch holl galon. Ystyriwch y pethau mawr a wnaeth drosoch.

²⁴only, fear ye Jehovah, and ye have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He hath made great with you;

²⁵ Ond os parhewch i wneud drwg, ysgubir chwi a'ch brenin i ffwrdd."

²⁵and if ye really do evil, both ye and your king are consumed.`
