¹ Wedi i Ddafydd orffen siarad � Saul, ymglymodd enaid Jonathan wrth enaid Dafydd, a charodd ef fel ef ei hun.

¹And it cometh to pass, when he finisheth to speak unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan hath been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loveth him as his own soul.

² Cymerodd Saul ef y dydd hwnnw, ac ni chaniataodd iddo fynd adref at ei dad.

²And Saul taketh him on that day, and hath not permitted him to turn back to the house of his father.

³ Gwnaeth Jonathan gyfamod � Dafydd am ei fod yn ei garu fel ef ei hun;

³And Jonathan maketh — also David — a covenant, because he loveth him as his own soul,

⁴ tynnodd y fantell oedd amdano a'i rhoi i Ddafydd; hefyd ei arfau, hyd yn oed ei gleddyf, ei fwa a'i wregys.

⁴and Jonathan strippeth himself of the upper robe which [is] upon him, and giveth it to David, and his long robe, even unto his sword, and unto his bow, and unto his girdle.

⁵ Llwyddodd Dafydd ym mhob gorchwyl a roddai Saul iddo, a gosododd Saul ef yn bennaeth ei filwyr, er boddhad i bawb, gan gynnwys swyddogion Saul.

⁵And David goeth out whithersoever Saul doth send him; he acted wisely, and Saul setteth him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.

⁶ Un tro yr oeddent ar eu ffordd adref, a Dafydd yn dychwelyd ar �l taro'r Philistiaid, a daeth y gwragedd allan ym mhob tref yn Israel i edrych; aeth y merched dawnsio i gyfarfod y Brenin Saul gyda thympanau a molawdau a thrionglau,

⁶And it cometh to pass, in their coming in, in David`s returning from smiting the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing — also the dancers — to meet Saul the king, with tabrets, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;

⁷ ac yn eu llawenydd canodd y gwragedd: "Lladdodd Saul ei filoedd, a Dafydd ei fyrddiynau."

⁷and the women answer — those playing, and say, `Saul hath smitten among his thousands, And David among his myriads.`

⁸ Digiodd Saul yn arw, a chafodd ei gythruddo gan y dywediad. Meddai, "Maent yn rhoi myrddiynau i Ddafydd, a dim ond miloedd i mi; beth yn rhagor sydd iddo ond y frenhiniaeth?"

⁸And it is displeasing to Saul exceedingly, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he saith, `They have given to David myriads, and to me they have given the thousands, and more to him [is] only the kingdom;`

⁹ o'r diwrnod hwnnw ymlaen yr oedd Saul yn cadw llygad ar Ddafydd.

⁹and Saul is eyeing David from that day and thenceforth.

¹⁰ Trannoeth meddiannwyd Saul gan yr ysbryd drwg, a pharablodd yn wallgof yng nghanol y tu375?, ac yr oedd Dafydd yn canu'r delyn yn �l ei arfer.

¹⁰And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospereth over Saul, and he prophesieth in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,

¹¹ Yr oedd gan Saul waywffon yn ei law, a hyrddiodd hi, gan feddwl trywanu Dafydd i'r pared, ond osg�dd Dafydd ef ddwywaith.

¹¹and Saul casteth the javelin, and saith, `I smite through David, even through the wall;` and David turneth round out of his presence twice.

¹² Cafodd Saul ofn rhag Dafydd oherwydd fod yr ARGLWYDD wedi troi o'i blaid ef ac yn erbyn Saul.

¹²And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for Jehovah hath been with him, and from Saul He hath turned aside;

¹³ Gyrrodd Saul ef i ffwrdd oddi wrtho, a'i wneud yn gapten ar fil o ddynion; ac ef oedd yn arwain y fyddin.

¹³and Saul turneth him aside from him, and appointeth him to himself head of a thousand, and he goeth out an cometh in, before the people.

¹⁴ Yr oedd Dafydd yn llwyddiannus ym mhopeth a wn�i, ac yr oedd yr ARGLWYDD gydag ef.

¹⁴And David is in all his ways acting wisely, and Jehovah [is] with him,

¹⁵ Pan welodd Saul mor llwyddiannus oedd Dafydd, yr oedd arno fwy o'i ofn.

¹⁵and Saul seeth that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,

¹⁶ Yr oedd Israel a Jwda i gyd yn ymserchu yn Nafydd am mai ef oedd yn arwain y fyddin.

¹⁶and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.

¹⁷ Dywedodd Saul wrth Ddafydd, "Dyma fy merch hynaf, Merab. Fe'i rhoddaf yn wraig i ti, ond i ti ddangos gwrhydri i mi ac ymladd brwydrau'r ARGLWYDD." Meddwl yr oedd Saul, "Peidied fy llaw i �'i gyffwrdd, ond yn hytrach law y Philistiaid."

¹⁷And Saul saith unto David, `Lo, my elder daughter Merab — her I give to thee for a wife; only, be to me for a son of valour, and fight the battles of Jehovah;` and Saul said, `Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.`

¹⁸ Atebodd Dafydd, "Pwy wyf fi, a beth yw tras llwyth fy nhad yn Israel, i mi fod yn fab-yng-nghyfraith i'w brenin?"

¹⁸And David saith unto Saul, `Who [am] I? and what my life — the family of my father in Israel — that I am son-in-law to the king?`

¹⁹ Ond pan ddaeth yr amser i roi Merab ferch Saul i Ddafydd, rhoddwyd hi'n wraig i Adriel o Mehola.

¹⁹And it cometh to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she hath been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

²⁰ Syrthiodd Michal ferch Saul mewn cariad � Dafydd, a phan ddywedwyd wrth Saul, yr oedd hynny'n dderbyniol ganddo.

²⁰And Michal daughter of Saul loveth David, and they declare to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,

²¹ Meddyliodd Saul, "Fe'i rhoddaf hi iddo; bydd hi'n fagl iddo, er mwyn i law y Philistiaid ei daro." A dywedodd Saul wrth Ddafydd am yr eildro, "Yn awr cei fod yn fab-yng-nghyfraith imi."

²¹and Saul saith, `I give her to him, and she is to him for a snare, and the hand of the Philistines is on him;` and Saul saith unto David, `By the second — thou dost become my son-in-law to-day.`

²² Yna gorchmynnodd Saul i'w weision, "Dywedwch yn ddistaw bach wrth Ddafydd, 'Y mae'r brenin, weli di, yn falch ohonot, a phawb o'i weision yn dy hoffi; yn awr, prioda ferch y brenin'."

²²And Saul commandeth his servants, `Speak unto David gently, saying, Lo, the king hath delighted in thee, and all his servants have loved thee, and now, be son-in-law to the king.`

²³ Pan sibrydodd gweision Saul y pethau hyn yng nghlust Dafydd, dywedodd ef, "Ai dibwys o beth yn eich golwg yw priodi merch y brenin? Dyn tlawd a dinod wyf fi."

²³And the servants of Saul speak in the ears of David these words, and David saith, `Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law to the king — and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?`

²⁴ Aeth gweision Saul �'r neges yn �l iddo, sut yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud.

²⁴And the servants of Saul declare to him, saying, `According to these words hath David spoken.`

²⁵ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Dywedwch fel hyn wrth Ddafydd, 'Nid yw'r brenin yn chwennych rhodd briodas heblaw cant o flaengrwyn Philistiaid, i dalu'r pwyth i elynion y brenin'." Syniad Saul oedd peri i Ddafydd gwympo trwy law y Philistiaid.

²⁵And Saul saith, `Thus do ye say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines — to be avenged on the enemies of the king;` and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.

²⁶ Cyflwynodd ei weision y neges hon i Ddafydd, ac ystyriodd y byddai'n dderbyniol iddo felly briodi merch y brenin.

²⁶And his servants declare to David these words, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law to the king; and the days have not been full,

²⁷ Cyn bod yr amser wedi dod i ben, cychwynnodd Dafydd allan gyda'i wu375?r, ac aethant a lladd dau gant o ddynion y Philistiaid. Dygodd Dafydd eu blaengrwyn a'u cyflwyno i gyd i'r brenin, er mwyn cael priodi merch y brenin; a rhoddodd Saul ei ferch Michal yn wraig iddo.

²⁷and David riseth and goeth, he and his men, and smiteth among the Philistines two hundred men, and David bringeth in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law to the king; and Saul giveth to him Michal his daughter for a wife.

²⁸ Wedi i Saul weld a sylweddoli bod yr ARGLWYDD gyda Dafydd, a bod ei ferch Michal yn ei garu,

²⁸And Saul seeth and knoweth that Jehovah [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul hath loved him,

²⁹ daeth arno fwy o ofn Dafydd nag o'r blaen, ac aeth yn elyn am oes iddo.

²⁹and Saul addeth to be afraid of the presence of David yet; and Saul is an enemy with David all the days.

³⁰ Bob tro y d�i arweinwyr y Philistiaid allan i ymladd, byddai Dafydd yn fwy llwyddiannus na phawb arall o weision Saul, ac enillodd enwogrwydd mawr.

³⁰And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it cometh to pass from the time of their coming out, David hath acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
