¹ Daeth y Siffiaid at Saul i Gibea a dweud, "Onid yw Dafydd yn llechu ym mryn Hachila gyferbyn � Jesimon?"

¹And the Ziphites come in unto Saul, at Gibeah, saying, `Is not David hiding himself in the height of Hachilah, on the front of the desert?`

² Aeth Saul ar unwaith i lawr i ddiffeithwch Siff, a thair mil o wu375?r dewisol Israel gydag ef, i chwilio am Ddafydd yno.

²And Saul riseth, and goeth down unto the wilderness of Ziph, and with him three thousand men, chosen ones of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

³ Gwersyllodd Saul ar y briffordd ym mryn Hachila gyferbyn � Jesimon, tra oedd Dafydd yn aros yn yr anialwch.

³And Saul encampeth in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the front of the desert, by the way, and David is abiding in the wilderness, and he seeth that Saul hath come after him in to the wilderness;

⁴ Pan welodd Dafydd fod Saul yn dod i'r anialwch ar ei �l, anfonodd ysbiwyr a chael sicrwydd fod Saul wedi dod.

⁴and David sendeth spies, and knoweth that Saul hath come unto Nachon,

⁵ Aeth Dafydd ar unwaith i'r man lle'r oedd Saul yn gwersyllu, a gweld lle'r oedd ef a'i gadfridog Abner fab Ner yn cysgu. Yr oedd Saul yn cysgu yng nghanol y gwersyll, a'r milwyr yn gwersyllu o'i gwmpas.

⁵and David riseth, and cometh in unto the place where Saul hath encamped, and David seeth the place where Saul hath lain, and Abner son of Ner, head of his host, and Saul is lying in the path, and the people are encamping round about him.

⁶ Troes Dafydd a gofyn i Ahimelech yr Hethiad ac Abisai fab Serfia, brawd Joab, "Pwy a ddaw i lawr gyda mi i'r gwersyll at Saul?" Atebodd Abisai, "Fe ddof fi gyda thi."

⁶And David answereth and saith unto Ahimelech the Hittite, and unto Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, `Who doth go down with me unto Saul, unto the camp?` and Abishai saith, `I — I go down with thee.`

⁷ Aeth Dafydd ac Abisai i blith y milwyr liw nos, a dyna lle'r oedd Saul yn gorwedd ac yn cysgu yn y canol, a'i waywffon wedi ei gwthio i'r ddaear yn ymyl ei ben, ac Abner a'r milwyr yn gorwedd o'i amgylch.

⁷And David cometh — and Abishai — unto the people by night, and lo, Saul is lying sleeping in the path, and his spear struck into the earth at his pillow, and abner and the people are lying round about him.

⁸ Dywedodd Abisai wrth Ddafydd, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi dy elyn heddiw yn dy law; gad imi ei drywanu i'r ddaear �'r waywffon ag un ergyd; ni fydd angen ail."

⁸And Abishai saith unto David, `God hath shut up to-day thine enemy into thy hand; and, now, let me smite him, I pray thee, with a spear, even into the earth at once — and I do repeat [it] to him.`

⁹ Ond dywedodd Dafydd wrth Abisai, "Paid �'i ladd. Pwy a fedr estyn llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD a bod yn ddieuog?"

⁹And David saith unto Abishai, `Destroy him not; for who hath put forth his hand against the anointed of Jehovah, and been acquitted?`

¹⁰ Ac ychwanegodd Dafydd, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn sicr o'i daro; un ai fe ddaw ei amser, a bydd farw, neu ynteu fe � i frwydr a cholli ei fywyd.

¹⁰And David saith, `Jehovah liveth; except Jehovah doth smite him, or his day come that he hath died, or into battle he go down, and hath been consumed —

¹¹ Yr ARGLWYDD a'm gwaredo rhag i mi estyn fy llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD. Cymer di y waywffon sydd wrth ei ben, a'i gostrel ddu373?r, ac fe awn."

¹¹far be it from me, by Jehovah, from putting forth my hand against the anointed of Jehovah; and, now, take, I pray thee, the spear which [is] at his pillow, and the cruse of water, and we go away.`

¹² Cymerodd Dafydd y waywffon a'r gostrel ddu373?r oedd yn ymyl pen Saul, ac ymaith � hwy heb i neb weld na gwybod na deffro. Yr oedd pawb yn cysgu, am i'r ARGLWYDD anfon trymgwsg arnynt.

¹²And David taketh the spear, and the cruse of water at the pillow of Saul, and they go away, and there is none seeing, and there is none knowing, and there is none awaking, for all of them are sleeping, for a deep sleep [from] Jehovah hath fallen upon them.

¹³ Dringodd Dafydd trwy'r bwlch a sefyll draw ar gopa'r mynydd, � chryn bellter rhyngddo a hwy.

¹³And David passeth over to the other side, and standeth on the top of the hill afar off — great [is] the place between them;

¹⁴ Yna gwaeddodd Dafydd ar y milwyr, ac ar Abner fab Ner, a dweud, "Pam nad wyt ti'n ateb, Abner fab Ner?" Atebodd Abner, "Pwy wyt ti, sy'n gweiddi ar y brenin?"

¹⁴and David calleth unto the people, and unto Abner son of Ner, saying, `Dost thou not answer, Abner?` and Abner answereth and saith, `Who [art] thou [who] hast called unto the king?`

¹⁵ Ac meddai Dafydd wrth Abner, "Onid wyt ti'n ddyn? Pwy sydd debyg i ti yn Israel? Pam ynteu na fyddit wedi gwarchod dy feistr, y brenin, pan ddaeth rhywun i'w ladd?

¹⁵And David saith unto Abner, `Art not thou a man? and who [is] like thee in Israel? but why hast thou not watched over thy lord the king? for one of the people had come in to destroy the king, thy lord.

¹⁶ Nid da yw'r peth hwn a wnaethost; cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, yr ydych yn wir yn haeddu marw am beidio � gwarchod eich meistr, eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD. Edrych yn awr; ple mae gwaywffon y brenin, a'r gostrel ddu373?r oedd wrth ei ben?"

¹⁶Not good is this thing which thou hast done; Jehovah liveth, but ye [are] sons of death, in that ye have not watched over your lord, over the anointed of Jehovah; and now, see where the king`s spear [is], and the cruse of water which [is] at his bolster.`

¹⁷ Adnabu Saul lais Dafydd, a dywedodd, "Ai dy lais di ydyw, fy mab Dafydd?" Atebodd Dafydd, "Ie, f'arglwydd frenin."

¹⁷And Saul discerneth the voice of David, and saith, `Is this thy voice, my son David?` and David saith, `My voice, my lord, O king!`

¹⁸ Ychwanegodd, "Pam y mae f'arglwydd yn erlid ei was? Beth a wneuthum, a pha ddrwg sydd ynof?

¹⁸and he saith, `Why [is] this — my lord is pursuing after his servant? for what have I done, and what [is] in my hand evil?

¹⁹ Gwrandawed f'arglwydd frenin yn awr ar eiriau ei was. Os yr ARGLWYDD sydd wedi dy annog i'm herbyn, derbynied offrwm; ond os bodau meidrol, bydded iddynt fod dan felltith gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, am iddynt fy ngyrru allan heddiw rhag cael fy rhan yn etifeddiaeth yr ARGLWYDD, a dweud, 'Dos, addola dduwiau eraill.'

¹⁹And, now, let, I pray thee, my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if Jehovah hath moved thee against me, let Him accept a present; and if the sons of men — cursed [are] they before Jehovah, for they have cast me out to-day from being admitted into the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

²⁰ Paid � gadael i'm gwaed ddisgyn i'r ddaear allan o bresenoldeb yr ARGLWYDD; oherwydd fe ddaeth brenin Israel allan i geisio chwannen, fel un yn hela petrisen mynydd."

²⁰`And now, let not my blood fall to the earth over-against the face of Jehovah, for the king of Israel hath come out to seek one flea, as [one] pursueth the partridge in mountains.`

²¹ Ac meddai Saul, "Yr wyf ar fai; tyrd yn �l, fy mab Dafydd, oherwydd ni wnaf niwed iti eto, am i'm bywyd fod yn werthfawr yn dy olwg heddiw. B�m yn ynfyd, a chyfeiliornais yn enbyd."

²¹And Saul saith, `I have sinned; turn back, my son David, for I do evil to thee no more, because that my soul hath been precious in thine eyes this day; lo, I have acted foolishly, and do err very greatly.`

²² Yna atebodd Dafydd, "Dyma'r waywffon, O frenin; gad i un o'r llanciau ddod drosodd i'w chymryd.

²²And David answereth and saith, `Lo, the king`s spear; and let one of the young men pass over, and receive it;

²³ Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn talu'n �l i bob un am ei gyfiawnder a'i ffyddlondeb; oherwydd fe roddodd yr ARGLWYDD di yn fy llaw heddiw, ond nid oeddwn am estyn fy llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD.

²³and Jehovah doth turn back to each his righteousness and his faithfulness, in that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into [my] hand, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand against the anointed of Jehovah,

²⁴ Fel y bu dy einioes di yn werthfawr yn fy ngolwg i heddiw, bydded f'einioes innau yn werthfawr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, i'm hachub o bob cyni."

²⁴and lo, as thy soul hath been great this day in mine eyes, so is my soul great in the eyes of Jehovah, and He doth deliver me out of all distress.`

²⁵ Dywedodd Saul wrth Ddafydd, "Bendith arnat, fy mab Dafydd; fe wnei di orchestion a llwyddo." Wedi hynny aeth Dafydd i ffwrdd, a dychwelodd Saul adref.

²⁵And Saul saith unto David, `Blessed [art] thou, my son David, also working thou dost work, and also prevailing thou dost prevail.` And David goeth on his way, and Saul hath turned back to his place.
