¹ Pan ddaeth Saul yn �l o ymlid y Philistiaid, dywedwyd wrtho fod Dafydd yn niffeithwch En-gedi.

¹And it cometh to pass when Saul hath turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, `Lo, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.`

² Felly cymerodd Saul dair mil o wu375?r wedi eu dewis allan o Israel gyfan, a mynd i chwilio am Ddafydd a'i wu375?r ar hyd copa creigiau'r geifr gwylltion.

²And Saul taketh three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goeth to seek David and his men, on the front of the rocks of the wild goats,

³ Pan ddaeth at gorlannau'r defaid ar y ffordd, yr oedd yno ogof, ac aeth Saul i mewn i esmwytho'i gorff; ond yr oedd Dafydd a'i wu375?r yno ym mhen draw'r ogof.

³and he cometh in unto folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goeth in to cover his feet; and David and his men in the sides of the cave are abiding.

⁴ Ac meddai gwu375?r Dafydd wrtho, "Dyma'r diwrnod y dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrthyt y byddai'n rhoi dy elyn yn dy law, a chei wneud iddo beth a fynni." Cododd Dafydd yn ddistaw a thorrodd gwr y fantell oedd am Saul.

⁴And the men of David say unto him, `Lo, the day of which Jehovah said unto thee, Lo, I am giving thine enemy into thy hand, and thou hast done to him as it is good in thine eyes;` and David riseth and cutteth off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul — gently.

⁵ Ond wedyn pigodd cydwybod Dafydd ef, am iddo dorri cwr mantell Saul,

⁵And it cometh to pass afterwards that the heart of David smiteth him, because that he hath cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,

⁶ a dywedodd wrth ei ddynion, "Yr ARGLWYDD a'm gwared rhag imi wneud y fath beth i'm harglwydd, eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD, ac estyn llaw yn ei erbyn, oherwydd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD yw."

⁶and he saith to his men, `Far be it from me, by Jehovah; I do not do this thing to my lord — to the anointed of Jehovah — to put forth my hand against him, for the anointed of Jehovah he [is].`

⁷ Ataliodd Dafydd ei wu375?r �'r geiriau hyn rhag iddynt ymosod ar Saul.

⁷And David subdueth his men by words, and hath not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul hath risen from the cave, and goeth on the way;

⁸ Pan ymadawodd Saul �'r ogof a mynd i'w daith, aeth Dafydd allan o'r ogof a galw ar ei �l a dweud, "F'arglwydd frenin!" A phan edrychodd Saul yn �l, plygodd Dafydd �'i wyneb at y llawr ac ymgrymu.

⁸and David riseth afterwards, and goeth out from the cave, and calleth after Saul, saying, `My lord, O king!` And Saul looketh attentively behind him, and David boweth — face to the earth — and doth obeisance.

⁹ Yna dywedodd Dafydd wrth Saul, "Pam y gwrandewaist ar eiriau'r dynion sy'n dweud fod Dafydd yn ceisio niwed i ti?

⁹And David saith to Saul, `Why dost thou hear the words of man, saying, Lo, David is seeking thine evil?

¹⁰ Heddiw fe weli �'th lygaid dy hun i'r ARGLWYDD dy roi yn fy llaw heddiw yn yr ogof; a dywedwyd wrthyf am dy ladd, ond trugarheais wrthyt a dweud, 'Nid estynnaf fy llaw yn erbyn f'arglwydd, oherwydd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD yw.'

¹⁰Lo, this day have thine eyes seen how that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and [one] said to slay thee, and [mine eye] hath pity on thee, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for the anointed of Jehovah he [is].

¹¹ Edrych, fy nhad, ie, edrych, dyma gwr dy fantell yn fy llaw. Gan imi dorri cwr dy fantell heb dy ladd, fe ddylit wybod a gweld nad oedd dim malais na gwrthryfel ynof. Ni wneuthum gam � thi, ond eto yr wyt yn ymlid ar fy �l i'm dal.

¹¹`And, my father, see, yea see the skirt of thine upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of thy upper robe, and I have not slain thee, know and see that there is not in my hand evil and transgression, and I have not sinned against thee, and thou art hunting my soul to take it!

¹² Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD farnu rhyngom a dial arnat, ond ni fydd fy llaw i arnat.

¹²`Jehovah doth judge between me and thee, and Jehovah hath avenged me of thee, and my hand is not on thee;

¹³ Fel y dywed yr hen ddihareb, 'O'r drygionus y daw drygioni.' Ond ni fydd fy llaw i arnat.

¹³as saith the simile of the ancients, From the wicked goeth out wickedness, and my hand is not on thee.

¹⁴ Ar �l pwy yr aeth brenin Israel? Pwy wyt ti'n ei ymlid? Ci marw! Chwannen!

¹⁴`After whom hath the king of Israel come out? after whom art thou pursuing? — after a dead dog! after one flea!

¹⁵ Fe gaiff yr ARGLWYDD fod yn ddyfarnwr a barnu rhyngom a'n gilydd; caiff ef chwilio a dadlau f'achos a'm rhyddhau o'th law."

¹⁵And Jehovah hath been for judge, and hath judged between me and thee, yea, he seeth and pleadeth my cause, and doth deliver me out of thy hand.`

¹⁶ Wedi i Ddafydd orffen llefaru fel hyn wrth Saul, meddai Saul: "Dafydd, fy mab, ai dy lais di yw hwn?" Yna fe dorrodd allan i wylo.

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, when David completeth to speak these words unto Saul, that Saul saith, `Is this thy voice, my son David?` and Saul lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.

¹⁷ Ac meddai wrth Ddafydd, "Yr wyt ti yn fwy cyfiawn na mi, oherwydd yr wyt ti wedi talu da i mi, a minnau wedi talu drwg i ti.

¹⁷And he saith unto David, `More righteous thou [art] than I; for thou hast done me good, and I have done thee evil;

¹⁸ Ac yr wyt wedi dangos mor dda fuost tuag ataf heddiw, pan oedd yr ARGLWYDD wedi fy rhoi yn dy law, a thithau'n ymatal rhag fy lladd.

¹⁸and thou hast declared to-day how that thou hast done good with me, how that Jehovah shut me up into thy hand, and thou didst not slay me,

¹⁹ Pan fydd rhywun yn dod ar warthaf ei elyn, a yw'n ei adael yn rhydd? Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD dalu'n �l iti'n hael am yr hyn a wnaethost imi heddiw.

¹⁹and that a man doth find his enemy, and hath sent him away in a good manner; and Jehovah doth repay thee good for that which thou didst to me this day.

²⁰ Mi wn, bellach, mai ti sydd i fod yn frenin, ac y bydd teyrnas Israel yn llwyddo danat;

²⁰`And, now, lo, I have known that thou dost certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel hath stood in thy hand;

²¹ tynga imi'n awr yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, na fyddi'n difa fy hil ar fy �l nac yn dileu fy enw o'm teulu."

²¹and, now, swear to me by Jehovah — thou dost not cut off my seed after me, nor dost thou destroy my name from the house of my father.`

²² Tyngodd Dafydd i Saul. Yna aeth Saul adref, a Dafydd a'i wu375?r i fyny'n �l i'r lloches.

²²And David sweareth to Saul, and Saul goeth unto his house, and David and his men have gone up unto the fortress.
