¹ Dywedodd Saul wrth ei fab Jonathan a'i holl weision am ladd Dafydd.

¹And Saul speaketh unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, to put David to death,

² Ond yr oedd Jonathan fab Saul wedi mynd yn hoff iawn o Ddafydd, a dywedodd wrtho, "Y mae fy nhad Saul yn ceisio dy ladd di; bydd di'n ofalus ohonot dy hun bore yfory, ac ymguddia ac aros o'r golwg.

²and Jonathan son of Saul delighted exceedingly in David, and Jonathan declareth to David, saying, `Saul my father is seeking to put thee to death, and, now, take heed, I pray thee, in the morning, and thou hast abode in a secret place, and been hidden,

³ Mi af finnau a sefyll yn ymyl fy nhad, allan yn ymyl y lle y byddi di, ac mi soniaf amdanat wrth fy nhad; ac os gwelaf unrhyw beth, mi ddywedaf wrthyt."

³and I — I go out, and have stood by the side of my father in the field where thou [art], and I speak of thee unto my father, and have seen what [is coming], and have declared to thee.`

⁴ Siaradodd Jonathan o blaid Dafydd wrth ei dad Saul, a dweud wrtho, "Peidied y brenin � gwneud cam �'i was Dafydd, oherwydd ni wnaeth ef gam � thi; yn wir, bu ei weithredoedd o les mawr iti.

⁴And Jonathan speaketh good of David unto Saul his father, and saith unto him, `Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works for thee [are] very good;

⁵ Mentrodd ei fywyd i ladd y Philistiad hwnnw, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD fuddugoliaeth fawr i Israel gyfan. Yr oeddit tithau'n gweld ac yn llawenychu; pam ynteu yr wyt am wneud cam ag un dieuog, a lladd Dafydd heb achos?"

⁵yea, he putteth his life in his hand, and smiteth the Philistine, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation for all Israel; thou hast seen, and dost rejoice, and why dost thou sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for nought?`

⁶ Gwrandawodd Saul ar ble Jonathan a thyngodd: "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, ni chaiff ei ladd."

⁶And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul sweareth, `Jehovah liveth — he doth not die.`

⁷ Wedi i Jonathan alw Dafydd, a dweud hyn i gyd wrtho, aeth ag ef at Saul; a bu Dafydd yn ei wasanaethu fel cynt.

⁷And Jonathan calleth for David, and Jonathan declareth to him all these words, and Jonathan bringeth in David unto Saul, and he is before him as heretofore.

⁸ A phan dorrodd rhyfel allan eto, aeth Dafydd i ymladd yn erbyn y Philistiaid a gwneud difrod mawr arnynt, a hwythau'n ffoi o'i flaen.

⁸And there addeth to be war, and David goeth out and fighteth against the Philistines, and smiteth among them — a great smiting, and they flee from his face.

⁹ Daeth ysbryd drwg oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD ar Saul ac yntau'n eistedd gartref � gwaywffon yn ei law, a Dafydd yn canu'r delyn.

⁹And a spirit of sadness [from] Jehovah is unto Saul, and he is sitting in his house, and his javelin in his hand, and David is playing with the hand,

¹⁰ Ceisiodd Saul drywanu'r waywffon trwy Ddafydd i'r pared, ond osg�dd Dafydd ef, ac i'r pared y trawodd y waywffon; felly dihangodd Dafydd a ffoi.

¹⁰and Saul seeketh to smite with the javelin through David, and through the wall, and he freeth himself from the presence of Saul, and he smiteth the javelin through the wall; and David hath fled and escapeth during that night.

¹¹ Y noson honno anfonodd Saul negeswyr i gartref Dafydd i'w wylio er mwyn ei ladd yn y bore. Ond yr oedd Michal gwraig Dafydd wedi dweud wrtho, "Os na fyddi'n dianc heno am d'einioes, yfory byddi'n farw."

¹¹And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal his wife declareth to David, saying, `If thou art not delivering thy life to-night — tomorrow thou art put to death.`

¹² Felly, wedi i Michal ollwng Dafydd i lawr drwy'r ffenestr, aeth yntau ar ffo a dianc.

¹²And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;

¹³ Yna cymerodd Michal y teraffim a'u gosod yn y gwely, a rhoi clustog o flew geifr lle byddai'r pen, a thaenu dilledyn drosti.

¹³and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and the mattress of goats` [hair] she hath put [for] his pillows, and covereth with a garment.

¹⁴ Pan anfonodd Saul negeswyr i ddal Dafydd, dywedodd hi, "Y mae'n glaf."

¹⁴And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, `He [is] sick.`

¹⁵ Ond anfonodd Saul y negeswyr yn �l i chwilio am Ddafydd gyda'r gorchymyn, "Dewch ag ef ataf yn ei wely, imi ei ladd."

¹⁵And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, `Bring him up in the bed unto me,` — to put him to death.

¹⁶ Pan ddaeth y negeswyr, dyna lle'r oedd y teraffim yn y gwely, gyda chlustog o flew geifr wrth y pen.

¹⁶And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim [are] on the bed, and the mattress of goats` [hair], [for] his pillows.

¹⁷ Meddai Saul wrth Michal, "Pam y twyllaist fi fel hyn, a gollwng fy ngelyn yn rhydd i ddianc?" Atebodd Michal, "Ef a ddywedodd wrthyf, 'Gollwng fi, neu mi'th laddaf.'"

¹⁷And Saul saith unto Michal, `Why thus hast thou deceived me — that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?` and Michal saith unto Saul, `He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?`

¹⁸ Ffodd Dafydd a dianc i Rama at Samuel, ac adrodd wrtho'r cwbl a wnaeth Saul iddo. Yna aeth Samuel ac yntau, ac aros yn Naioth.

¹⁸And David hath fled, and is escaped, and cometh in unto Samuel to Ramath, and declareth to him all that Saul hath done to him, and he goeth, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.

¹⁹ Mynegwyd i Saul, "Y mae Dafydd yn Naioth ger Rama."

¹⁹And it is declared to Saul, saying, `Lo, David [is] in Naioth in Ramah.`

²⁰ Anfonodd Saul negeswyr i ddal Dafydd, ond pan welsant dwr o broffwydi'n proffwydo, a Samuel yn sefyll yno'n bennaeth arnynt, disgynnodd ysbryd Duw arnynt ac aethant hwythau i broffwydo.

²⁰And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing, set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul`s messengers, and they prophesy — they also.

²¹ Pan fynegwyd hyn i Saul, anfonodd negeswyr eraill, ond aethant hwythau i broffwydo hefyd; a phan anfonodd Saul negeswyr am y trydydd tro, aeth y rheini hefyd i broffwydo.

²¹And they declare [it] to Saul, and he sendeth other messengers, and they prophesy — they also; and Saul addeth and sendeth messengers a third time, and they prophesy — they also.

²² Yna fe aeth ef ei hun i Rama, ac wedi iddo gyrraedd y pydew mawr yn Secu a holi ple'r oedd Samuel a Dafydd, dywedodd rhywun eu bod yn Naioth ger Rama.

²²And he goeth — he also — to Ramath, and cometh in unto the great well which [is] in Sechu, and asketh, and saith, `Where [are] Samuel and David?` and [one] saith, `Lo, in Naioth in Ramah.`

²³ Wrth iddo fynd yno i Naioth ger Rama, disgynnodd ysbryd Duw arno yntau hefyd, ac aeth yn ei flaen dan broffwydo nes dod i Naioth ger Rama.

²³And he goeth thither — unto Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is upon him — him also; and he goeth, going on, and he prophesyeth till his coming in to Naioth in Ramah,

²⁴ Yno fe ddiosgodd yntau ei ddillad a phroffwydo gerbron Samuel; a gorweddodd yn noeth drwy'r dydd a'r noson honno. Dyna pam y dywedir, "A yw Saul hefyd ymysg y proffwydi?"

²⁴and he strippeth off — he also — his garments, and prophesieth — he also — before Samuel, and falleth down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, `Is Saul also among the prophets?`
