¹ Dywedodd Samuel wrth Saul, "Anfonwyd fi gan yr ARGLWYDD i'th eneinio'n frenin ar ei bobl Israel; felly gwrando'n awr ar eiriau'r ARGLWYDD.

¹And Samuel saith unto Saul, `Me did Jehovah send to anoint thee for king over His people, over Israel; and now, hearken to the voice of the words of Jehovah:

² Fel hyn y dywed ARGLWYDD y Lluoedd: 'Yr wyf am gosbi Amalec am yr hyn a wnaeth i Israel, sef eu rhwystro hwy ar y ffordd wrth iddynt ddod i fyny o'r Aifft.'

²`Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have looked after that which Amalek did to Israel, that which he laid for him in the way in his going up out of Egypt.

³ Dos, yn awr, a tharo'r Amaleciaid, a'u llwyr ddinistrio hwy a phopeth sydd ganddynt; paid �'u harbed, ond lladd bob dyn a dynes, pob plentyn a baban, pob eidion a dafad, pob camel ac asyn."

³Now, go, and thou hast smitten Amalek, and devoted all that it hath, and thou hast no pity on it, and hast put to death from man unto woman, from infant unto suckling, from ox unto sheep, from camel unto ass.`

⁴ Felly galwodd Saul y fyddin allan a'u rhestru yn Telaim. Yr oedd dau gan mil o wu375?r traed, a deng mil o ddynion Jwda.

⁴And Saul summoneth the people, and inspecteth them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand [are] men of Judah.

⁵ Pan ddaeth Saul at ddinas yr Amaleciaid, ymguddiodd mewn cwm,

⁵And Saul cometh in unto a city of Amalek, and layeth wait in a valley;

⁶ a dweud wrth y Ceneaid, "Ewch i ffwrdd, cefnwch ar yr Amaleciaid, rhag imi eich distrywio chwi gyda hwy; oherwydd buoch chwi'n garedig wrth yr holl Israeliaid pan oeddent yn dod i fyny o'r Aifft." Aeth y Ceneaid ymaith oddi wrth yr Amaleciaid;

⁶and Saul saith unto the Kenite, `Go, turn aside, go down from the midst of Amalek, lest I consume thee with it, and thou didst kindness with all the sons of Israel, in their going up out of Egypt;` and the Kenite turneth aside from the midst of Amalek.

⁷ yna trawodd Saul Amalec o Hafila hyd at Sur ar gwr yr Aifft.

⁷And Saul smiteth Amalek from Havilah — thy going in to Shur, which [is] on the front of Egypt,

⁸ Daliodd Agag brenin Amalec yn fyw, ond lladdodd y bobl i gyd �'r cleddyf.

⁸and he catcheth Agag king of Amalek alive, and all the people he hath devoted by the mouth of the sword;

⁹ Arbedodd Saul a'r fyddin nid yn unig Agag, ond hefyd y gorau o'r defaid a'r gwartheg, yr anifeiliaid breision a'r u373?yn, a phopeth o werth. Nid oeddent yn fodlon difa'r rheini; ond difodwyd popeth gwael a diwerth.

⁹and Saul hath pity — also the people — on Agag, and on the best of the flock, and of the herd, and of the seconds, and on the lambs, and on all that [is] good, and have not been willing to devote them; and all the work, despised and wasted — it they devoted.

¹⁰ Yna daeth gair yr ARGLWYDD at Samuel, yn dweud,

¹⁰And the word of Jehovah is unto Samuel, saying,

¹¹ "Y mae'n edifar gennyf fy mod wedi gwneud Saul yn frenin, oherwydd y mae wedi cefnu arnaf a heb gadw fy ngorchymyn." Digiodd Samuel, a galwodd ar yr ARGLWYDD drwy'r nos.

¹¹`I have repented that I caused Saul to reign for king, for he hath turned back from after Me, and My words he hath not performed;` and it is displeasing to Samuel, and he crieth unto Jehovah all the night.

¹² Bore trannoeth cododd yn gynnar i gyfarfod � Saul, ond dywedwyd wrtho fod Saul wedi mynd i Garmel, ac wedi codi cofeb iddo'i hun yno cyn troi'n �l a mynd draw i Gilgal.

¹²And Samuel riseth early to meet Saul in the morning, and it is declared to Samuel, saying, `Saul hath come in to Carmel, and lo, he is setting up to himself a monument, and goeth round, and passeth over, and goeth down to Gilgal.`

¹³ Wedi i Samuel ddod o hyd i Saul, dywedodd Saul wrtho, "Bendith yr ARGLWYDD arnat! Yr wyf wedi cadw gorchymyn yr ARGLWYDD."

¹³And Samuel cometh in unto Saul, and Saul saith to him, `Blessed [art] thou of Jehovah; I have performed the word of Jehovah.`

¹⁴ Gofynnodd Samuel, "Beth ynteu yw'r brefu defaid sydd yn fy nghlustiau, a'r su373?n gwartheg yr wyf yn ei glywed?"

¹⁴And Samuel saith, `And what [is] the noise of this flock in mine ears — and the noise of the herd which I am hearing?`

¹⁵ Dywedodd Saul, "Y bobl sydd wedi dod � hwy oddi wrth yr Amaleciaid, oherwydd y maent wedi arbed y gorau o'r defaid a'r gwartheg er mwyn aberthu i'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw. Yr ydym wedi difa'r gweddill."

¹⁵And Saul saith, `From Amalek they have brought them, because the people had pity on the best of the flock, and of the herd, in order to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God, and the remnant we have devoted.`

¹⁶ Dywedodd Samuel wrth Saul, "Taw, imi gael dweud wrthyt beth a ddywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrthyf neithiwr." Meddai yntau wrtho, "Dywed."

¹⁶And Samuel saith unto Saul, `Desist, and I declare to thee that which Jehovah hath spoken unto me to-night;` and he saith to him, `Speak.`

¹⁷ A dywedodd Samuel, "Er iti fod yn fychan yn d'olwg dy hun, oni ddaethost yn ben ar lwythau Israel, a'r ARGLWYDD wedi d'eneinio'n frenin ar Israel?

¹⁷And Samuel saith, `Art not thou, if thou [art] little in thine own eyes, head of the tribes of Israel? and Jehovah doth anoint thee for king over Israel,

¹⁸ Fe anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD di allan a dweud, 'Dos a difroda'r pechaduriaid hynny, Amalec, a rhyfela � hwy nes eu difa.'

¹⁸and Jehovah sendeth thee in the way, and saith, Go, and thou hast devoted the sinners, the Amalekite, and fought against them till they are consumed;

¹⁹ Pam na wrandewaist ar lais yr ARGLWYDD, ond rhuthro ar yr ysbail, a gwneud drwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD?"

¹⁹and why hast thou not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah — and dost fly unto the spoil, and dost do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah?`

²⁰ Dywedodd Saul wrth Samuel, "Ond yr wyf wedi gwrando ar lais yr ARGLWYDD, a mynd fel yr anfonodd ef fi; deuthum ag Agag brenin Amalec yn �l, a difrodi'r Amaleciaid.

²⁰And Saul saith unto Samuel, `Because — I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and I go in the way which Jehovah hath sent me, and bring in Agag king of Amalek, and Amalek I have devoted;

²¹ Fe gymerodd y bobl beth o'r ysbail, yn ddefaid a gwartheg, y pigion o'r diofryd, er mwyn aberthu i'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw yn Gilgal."

²¹and the people taketh of the spoil of the flock and herd, the first part of the devoted thing, for sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal.`

²² Yna dywedodd Samuel: "A oes gan yr ARGLWYDD bleser mewn offrymau ac ebyrth, fel mewn gwrando ar lais yr ARGLWYDD? Gwell gwrando nag aberth, ac ufudd-dod na braster hyrddod.

²²And Samuel saith, `Hath Jehovah had delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as [in] hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? lo, hearkening than sacrifice is better; to give attention than fat of rams;

²³ Yn wir, pechod fel dewiniaeth yw anufudd-dod, a throsedd fel addoli eilunod yw cyndynrwydd. Am i ti wrthod gair yr ARGLWYDD, gwrthododd ef di fel brenin."

²³for a sin of divination [is] rebellion, and iniquity and teraphim [is] stubbornness; because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He also doth reject thee from [being] king.`

²⁴ Dywedodd Saul wrth Samuel, "Yr wyf wedi pechu, oblegid yr wyf wedi torri gorchymyn yr ARGLWYDD a'th air dithau, am imi ofni'r bobl a gwrando ar eu llais.

²⁴And Saul saith unto Samuel, `I have sinned, for I passed over the command of Jehovah, and thy words; because I have feared the people, I also hearken to their voice;

²⁵ Maddau'n awr fy mai, a thyrd yn �l gyda mi, er mwyn imi ymostwng i'r ARGLWYDD."

²⁵and now, bear, I pray thee, with my sin, and turn back with me, and I bow myself to Jehovah.`

²⁶ Ond dywedodd Samuel wrth Saul, "Na ddof; yr wyt wedi gwrthod gair yr ARGLWYDD, ac y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi dy wrthod di fel brenin ar Israel."

²⁶And Samuel saith unto Saul, `I do not turn back with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth reject thee from being king over Israel.`

²⁷ Trodd Samuel i fynd i ffwrdd, ond cydiodd Saul yng nghwr ei fantell, ac fe rwygodd.

²⁷And Samuel turneth round to go, and he layeth hold on the skirt of his upper robe — and it is rent!

²⁸ Ac meddai Samuel wrtho, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhwygo brenhiniaeth Israel oddi wrthyt heddiw, ac am ei rhoi i un yn d'ymyl sy'n well na thi.

²⁸And Samuel saith unto him, `Jehovah hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and given it to thy neighbour who is better than thou;

²⁹ Nid yw Ysblander Israel yn dweud celwydd nac yn edifarhau, oherwydd nid meidrolyn yw ef, i newid ei feddwl."

²⁹and also, the Pre-eminence of Israel doth not lie nor repent, for He [is] not a man to be penitent.`

³⁰ Dywedodd Saul eto, "Rwyf ar fai, ond dangos di barch tuag ataf gerbron henuriaid fy mhobl a'r Israeliaid, a thyrd yn �l gyda mi, er mwyn imi ymostwng gerbron yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw."

³⁰And he saith, `I have sinned; now, honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn back with me; and I have bowed myself to Jehovah thy God.`

³¹ Yna dychwelodd Samuel gyda Saul, ac ymostyngodd Saul gerbron yr ARGLWYDD.

³¹And Samuel turneth back after Saul, and Saul boweth himself to Jehovah;

³² A dywedodd Samuel, "Dewch ag Agag brenin Amalec ataf fi." Daeth Agag ato'n anfoddog, a dweud, "Fe giliodd chwerwder marwolaeth."

³²and Samuel saith, `Bring ye nigh unto me Agag king of Amalek,` and Agag cometh unto him daintily, and Agag saith, `Surely the bitterness of death hath turned aside.`

³³ Ond dywedodd Samuel: "Fel y gwnaeth dy gleddyf di wragedd yn ddi-blant, felly bydd dy fam dithau'n ddi-blant ymysg gwragedd." Yna darniodd Samuel Agag gerbron yr ARGLWYDD yn Gilgal.

³³And Samuel saith, `As thy sword bereaved women — so is thy mother bereaved above women;` and Samuel heweth Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.

³⁴ Wedyn aeth Samuel i Rama, a Saul i'w gartref yn Gibea Saul.

³⁴And Samuel goeth to Ramath, and Saul hath gone unto his house — to Gibeah of Saul.

³⁵ Ni welodd Samuel mo Saul byth wedyn, hyd ddydd ei farw, ond gofidiodd am Saul. Yr oedd yn edifar gan yr ARGLWYDD ei fod wedi gwneud Saul yn frenin ar Israel.

³⁵And Samuel hath not added to see Saul till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned for Saul, and Jehovah repented that He had caused Saul to reign over Israel.
