¹ Bu farw Samuel, a daeth Israel gyfan ynghyd i alaru amdano a'i gladdu yn ei gartref yn Rama. Yna fe aeth Dafydd i ddiffeithwch Maon.

¹And Samuel dieth, and all Israel are gathered, and mourn for him, and bury him in his house, in Ramah; and David riseth and goeth down unto the wilderness of Paran.

² Yn Maon yr oedd dyn yn ffermio yng Ngharmel; yr oedd yn u373?r cyfoethog iawn, a chanddo dair mil o ddefaid a mil o eifr, ac yr oedd wrthi'n cneifio'i ddefaid yng Ngharmel.

²And [there is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel; and the man [is] very great, and he hath three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in Carmel.

³ Nabal oedd enw'r dyn, ac Abigail oedd enw ei wraig. Yr oedd hi'n ddynes ddeallus a golygus, ond yr oedd y gu373?r � un o lwyth Caleb � yn galed ac anghwrtais.

³And the name of the man [is] Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of fair form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in] doings; and he [is] a Calebite.

⁴ Clywodd Dafydd yn y diffeithwch fod Nabal yn cneifio'i ddefaid,

⁴And David heareth in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing his flock,

⁵ ac anfonodd ddeg llanc a dweud wrthynt, "Ewch i fyny i Garmel, a mynd at Nabal a'i gyfarch yn f'enw;

⁵and David sendeth ten young men, and David saith to the young men, `Go ye up to Carmel, and ye have come in unto Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare,

⁶ a dywedwch fel hyn wrth fy mrawd, 'Heddwch i ti ac i'th deulu a'th eiddo i gyd.

⁶and said thus: To life! and thou, peace; and thy house, peace; and all that thou hast — peace!

⁷ Clywais dy fod yn cneifio. Bu dy fugeiliaid gyda ni, ac nid ydym wedi eu cam-drin na pheri dim colled iddynt, yr holl adeg y buont yng Ngharmel.

⁷and, now, I have heard that thou hast shearers; now, the shepherds whom thou hast have been with us, we have not put them to shame, nor hath anything been looked after by them, all the days of their being in Carmel.

⁸ Gofyn i'th lanciau, ac fe ddywedant wrthyt. Felly rho dderbyniad caredig i'm llanciau innau, oherwydd daethom ar ddiwrnod da; rho'r hyn sydd agosaf at dy law i'th weision ac i'th fab Dafydd.'"

⁸`Ask thy young men, and they declare to thee, and the young men find grace in thine eyes, for on a good day we have come; give, I pray thee, that which thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David.`

⁹ Daeth llanciau Dafydd a dweud y geiriau hyn i gyd yn enw Dafydd.

⁹And the young men of David come in, and speak unto Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David — and rest.

¹⁰ Wedi iddynt orffen, atebodd Nabal a dweud wrth weision Dafydd, "Pwy yw Dafydd, a phwy yw mab Jesse? Y mae llawer o weision yn dianc oddi wrth eu meistri y dyddiau hyn.

¹⁰And Nabal answereth the servants of David and saith, `Who [is] David, and who the son of Jesse? to-day have servants been multiplied who are breaking away each from his master;

¹¹ A wyf fi i gymryd fy mara a'm du373?r a'r cig a leddais ar gyfer fy nghneifwyr, a'u rhoi i ddynion na wn o ble y maent?"

¹¹and I have taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men whom I have not known whence they [are]!`

¹² Troes llanciau Dafydd i ffwrdd, a dychwelyd at Ddafydd a dweud hyn i gyd wrtho.

¹²And the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these words.

¹³ Dywedodd Dafydd wrth ei ddynion, "Gwregyswch bawb ei gleddyf." Wedi iddynt hwy a Dafydd hefyd wregysu eu cleddyfau, aeth tua phedwar cant ohonynt i fyny ar �l Dafydd, gan adael dau gant gyda'r offer.

¹³And David saith to his men, `Gird ye on each his sword;` and they gird on each his sword, and David also girdeth on his sword, and there go up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.

¹⁴ Yr oedd un o'r llanciau wedi dweud wrth Abigail, gwraig Nabal, "Clyw, fe anfonodd Dafydd negeswyr o'r diffeithwch i gyfarch ein meistr, ond fe'u difr�odd.

¹⁴And to Abigail wife of Nabal hath one young man of the youths declared, saying, `Lo, David hath sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flieth upon them;

¹⁵ Bu'r dynion yn dda iawn wrthym ni, heb ein cam-drin na pheri dim colled inni yr holl adeg y buom yn ymdroi gyda hwy pan oeddem yn y maes.

¹⁵and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field;

¹⁶ Buont yn fur inni, nos a dydd, yr holl adeg y buom yn bugeilio'r praidd yn eu hymyl.

¹⁶a wall they have been unto us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.

¹⁷ Ystyria'n awr ac edrych beth y gelli ei wneud, oherwydd y mae drwg wedi ei bennu i'n meistr ac yn erbyn ei deulu i gyd, ond y mae ef yn ormod o ddihiryn i neb ddweud dim wrtho."

¹⁷`And, now, know and consider what thou dost; for evil hath been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.`

¹⁸ Brysiodd Abigail a chymryd dau gan torth o fara a dwy botel o win, pum dafad wedi eu paratoi a phum hobaid o greision, a hefyd can swp o rawnwin a dau gant o ffigys. Llwythodd hwy ar asynnod,

¹⁸And Abigail hasteth, and taketh two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted corn, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and setteth [them] on the asses.

¹⁹ a dywedodd wrth ei gweision, "Ewch o'm blaen; byddaf finnau'n dod ar eich �l." Ond ni ddywedodd ddim wrth ei gu373?r Nabal.

¹⁹And she saith to her young men, `Pass over before me; lo, after you I am coming;` and to her husband Nabal she hath not declared [it];

²⁰ Fel yr oedd hi ar gefn ei hasyn yn dod i lawr llechwedd y mynydd, yr oedd Dafydd a'i wu375?r yn dod i lawr tuag ati, a chyfarfu � hwy.

²⁰and it hath come to pass, she is riding on the ass and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and lo, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meeteth them.

²¹ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud, "Y mae'n amlwg mai'n ofer y b�m yn gwarchod holl eiddo hwn yn y diffeithwch, heb iddo golli dim o'r cwbl oedd ganddo; y mae wedi talu imi ddrwg am dda.

²¹And David said, `Only, in vain I have kept all that this [one] hath in the wilderness, and nothing hath been looked after of all that he hath, and he turneth back to me evil for good;

²² Gwnaed Duw fel hyn i mi, a rhagor, os gadawaf ar �l erbyn y bore un gwryw o'r rhai sy'n perthyn iddo."

²²thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning — of those sitting on the wall.`

²³ Pan welodd Abigail Ddafydd, brysiodd i ddisgyn oddi ar yr asyn, ac ymgrymodd ar ei hwyneb a phlygu i'r llawr o flaen Dafydd.

²³And Abigail seeth David, and hasteth and cometh down from off the ass, and falleth before David on her face, and boweth herself to the earth,

²⁴ Wedi iddi syrthio wrth ei draed, dywedodd, "Arnaf fi, syr, y bydded y bai; gad imi egluro'n awr, a gwrando dithau ar eiriau dy wasanaethferch.

²⁴and falleth at his feet and saith, `On me, my lord, the iniquity; and let, I pray thee, thy handmaid speak in thine ear, and hear the words of thy handmaid.

²⁵ Paid � chymryd sylw o'r dihiryn yma, Nabal. Y mae yr un fath �'i enw: Nabal, sef Ynfyd, yw ei enw, ac ynfyd yw ei natur. Ni welais i, dy wasanaethferch, mo'r llanciau a anfonaist ti, syr.

²⁵`Let not, I pray thee, my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, thine handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom thou didst send;

²⁶ Felly'n awr, syr, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, a thithau hefyd, gan i'r ARGLWYDD dy atal rhag dod i dywallt gwaed a dial drosot dy hun, bydded dy elynion a'r rhai sy'n ceisio drwg iti, syr, fel Nabal.

²⁶and now, my lord, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, in that Jehovah hath withheld thee from coming in with blood, and to save thy hand to thee — now let thine enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil unto my lord.

²⁷ Yn awr, daeth dy wasanaethferch �'r rhodd hon iti, syr, i'w rhoi i'r llanciau sy'n dy ganlyn.

²⁷`And, now, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord — it hath been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of my lord.

²⁸ Maddau gamwri dy wasanaethferch, oherwydd yn sicr bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn creu olyniaeth sicr i ti, syr, am dy fod yn ymladd brwydrau'r ARGLWYDD; a byth ni cheir dim bai ynot.

²⁸`Bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy handmaid, for Jehovah doth certainly make to my lord a stedfast house; for the battles of Jehovah hath my lord fought, and evil is not found in thee [all] thy days.

²⁹ Os bydd unrhyw ddyn yn codi i'th erlid ac i geisio dy fywyd, bydd dy fywyd di, syr, wedi ei rwymo yn rhwymyn bywyd gyda'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw; ond bydd bywyd dy elynion yn cael ei hyrddio fel carreg o ffon dafl.

²⁹And man riseth to pursue thee and to seek thy soul, and the soul of my lord hath been bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; as to the soul of thine enemies, He doth sling them out in the midst of the hollow of the sling.

³⁰ A phan fydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi gwneud daioni i ti, syr, yn �l y cyfan a addawodd amdanat, ac wedi dy osod yn arweinydd dros Israel,

³⁰`And it hath been, when Jehovah doth to my lord according to all the good which He hath spoken concerning thee, and appointed thee for leader over Israel,

³¹ ni fydd hyn yn ofid nac yn boen cydwybod iti, sef dy fod wedi tywallt gwaed heb achos i ddial drosot dy hun. A phan fydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi bod yn dda wrthyt ti, syr, cofia dy wasanaethferch."

³¹that this is not to thee for a stumbling-block, and for an offence of heart to my lord — either to shed blood for nought, or my lord`s restraining himself; and Jehovah hath done good to my lord, and thou hast remembered thy handmaid.`

³² Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Abigail, "Bendigedig fyddo'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, am iddo dy anfon di heddiw i'm cyfarfod.

³²And David saith to Abigail, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day to meet me,

³³ Bendith ar dy gyngor, ac arnat tithau, am iti fy atal heddiw rhag dod i dywallt gwaed a dial drosof fy hun.

³³and blessed [is] thy discretion, and blessed [art] thou in that thou hast restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.

³⁴ Yn wir iti, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, yn fyw, yr un a'm hataliodd rhag dy ddrygu, oni bai dy fod wedi brysio i ddod i'm cyfarfod, ni fyddai'r un gwryw ar �l gan Nabal erbyn y bore."

³⁴And yet, Jehovah liveth, God of Israel, who hath kept me back from doing evil with thee, for unless thou hadst hasted, and dost come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal till the light of the morning, of those sitting on the wall.`

³⁵ Derbyniodd Dafydd o'i llaw yr hyn a ddygodd iddo, a dywedodd wrthi, "Dos adref mewn heddwch; edrych, yr wyf wedi gwrando arnat a chaniat�u dy gais."

³⁵And David receiveth from her hand that which she hath brought to him, and to her he hath said, `Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accept thy face.`

³⁶ Pan ddaeth Abigail yn �l at Nabal, yr oedd ganddo wledd yn ei du375? fel gwledd brenin. Am fod calon Nabal yn llawen, ac yntau'n feddw iawn, ni ddywedodd hi wrtho yr un gair, bach na mawr, hyd y bore.

³⁶And Abigail cometh in unto Nabal, and lo, he hath a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk unto excess, and she hath not declared to him anything, less or more, till the light of the morning.

³⁷ Trannoeth, wedi i Nabal sobri, dywedodd ei wraig yr hanes wrtho, ac aeth ei galon yn farw o'i fewn ac aeth yntau fel carreg.

³⁷And it cometh to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declareth to him these things, and his heart dieth within him, and he hath been as a stone.

³⁸ Ymhen tua deg diwrnod, trawodd yr ARGLWYDD Nabal a bu farw.

³⁸And it cometh to pass, [in] about ten days, that Jehovah smiteth Nabal, and he dieth,

³⁹ Pan glywodd Dafydd fod Nabal wedi marw, dywedodd, "Bendigedig fyddo'r ARGLWYDD, sydd wedi dial drosof am y sarhad gan Nabal; y mae wedi atal ei was rhag gwneud camwedd, ac wedi talu'r pwyth yn �l i Nabal." Yna fe anfonodd Dafydd, a chynnig am Abigail i'w chymryd yn wraig iddo'i hun.

³⁹and David heareth that Nabal [is] dead, and saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant hath kept back from evil, and the wickedness of Nabal hath Jehovah turned back on his own head;` and David sendeth and speaketh with Abigail, to take her to him for a wife.

⁴⁰ Daeth gweision Dafydd i Garmel at Abigail a dweud wrthi, "Y mae Dafydd wedi'n hanfon ni atat i'th gymryd yn wraig iddo."

⁴⁰And the servants of David come in unto Abigail at Carmel, and speak unto her, saying, `David hath sent us unto thee to take thee to him for a wife.`

⁴¹ Ar unwaith ymgrymodd hithau i'r llawr a dweud, "Dyma fi, yn barod i olchi traed gweision f'arglwydd fel caethferch."

⁴¹And she riseth and boweth herself — face to the earth — and saith, `Lo, thy handmaid [is] for a maid-servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.`

⁴² Parat�dd Abigail ar unwaith i fynd, a marchogodd ar gefn asyn, gyda phump o'i morynion i'w chanlyn, a dilyn negeswyr Dafydd, a daeth yn wraig iddo.

⁴²And Abigail hasteth and riseth, and rideth on the ass; and five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goeth after the messengers of David, and is to him for a wife.

⁴³ Priododd Dafydd hefyd Ahinoam o Jesreel, a bu'r ddwy yn wragedd iddo.

⁴³And Ahinoam hath David taken from Jezreel, and they are — even both of them — to him for wives;

⁴⁴ Yr oedd Saul wedi rhoi ei ferch Michal, a fu'n wraig i Ddafydd, i Palti fab Lais, a oedd o Galim.

⁴⁴and Saul gave Michal his daughter, wife to David, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim.
