¹ Dywedodd Samuel wrth holl Israel, "Edrychwch, yr wyf wedi gwrando ar bopeth a ddywedasoch wrthyf, a gosod brenin arnoch.

¹And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

² Yn awr, dyma'r brenin fydd yn eich arwain. Yr wyf fi'n hen a phenwyn, ac y mae fy meibion gyda chwi. B�m yn eich arwain, o'm hieuenctid hyd heddiw.

²And now, behold, the king walketh before you; and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth unto this day.

³ Dyma fi; tystiwch yn f'erbyn gerbron yr ARGLWYDD a'i eneiniog: a gymerais ych unrhyw un? A gymerais asyn unrhyw un? A dwyllais rywun? A orthrymais rywun? A dderbyniais gil-dwrn oddi wrth rywun i gau fy llygaid? Dewch � thystiolaeth, ac fe'i rhoddaf yn �l."

³Here I am: witness against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.

⁴ Ond dywedasant, "Nid wyt ti wedi'n twyllo na'n gorthrymu, nac wedi cymryd dim gan neb."

⁴And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.

⁵ Yna dywedodd wrthynt, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dyst yn eich erbyn heddiw, a'i eneiniog hefyd, na chawsoch un dim yn fy meddiant." "Ydyw, y mae'n dyst," meddai'r bobl.

⁵And he said unto them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand. And they said, He is witness.

⁶ Dywedodd Samuel, "Y tyst yw yr ARGLWYDD, a gododd Moses ac Aaron, ac a ddygodd eich hynafiaid i fyny o wlad yr Aifft;

⁶And Samuel said unto the people, It is Jehovah that appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

⁷ felly safwch mewn trefn er mwyn imi ymresymu � chwi gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, ynglu375?n �'r holl weithredoedd achubol a wnaeth yr ARGLWYDD drosoch chwi a'ch hynafiaid.

⁷Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah concerning all the righteous acts of Jehovah, which he did to you and to your fathers.

⁸ Wedi i Jacob ddod i lawr i'r Aifft, gwaeddodd eich hynafiaid ar yr ARGLWYDD; anfonodd yntau Moses ac Aaron, a daethant hwy �'ch hynafiaid allan o'r Aifft a'u rhoi i fyw yn y lle hwn.

⁸When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.

⁹ Ond oherwydd iddynt anghofio'r ARGLWYDD eu Duw, gwerthodd hwy i law Sisera, pennaeth byddin Hasor, ac i'r Philistiaid, ac i frenin Moab; a bu'r rhain yn rhyfela yn eu herbyn.

⁹But they forgat Jehovah their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.

¹⁰ Yna bu iddynt weiddi ar yr ARGLWYDD a dweud, 'Yr ydym ar fai am inni gefnu ar yr ARGLWYDD ac addoli'r Baalim a'r Astaroth; ond yn awr, achub ni o law ein gelynion, ac fe'th addolwn di.'

¹⁰And they cried unto Jehovah, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baalim and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

¹¹ Anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD Jerwbbaal, Bedan, Jefftha a Samuel, a gwaredodd chwi o law y gelynion o'ch cwmpas, a chawsoch fyw'n ddiogel.

¹¹And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and ye dwelt in safety.

¹² Ond pan welsoch Nahas brenin yr Ammoniaid yn dod yn eich erbyn, dywedasoch wrthyf, 'Na, rhaid cael brenin i deyrnasu arnom', er bod yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw yn frenin arnoch.

¹²And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king.

¹³ Yn awr, dyma'r brenin yr ydych wedi ei ddewis a gofyn amdano; ydyw, y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi brenin i chwi.

¹³Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have asked for: and, behold, Jehovah hath set a king over you.

¹⁴ Os byddwch yn ofni'r ARGLWYDD, ac yn ei addoli ef ac yn ufuddhau iddo heb wrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, ac os byddwch chwi a'r brenin a osodir arnoch yn dilyn yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw, popeth yn dda.

¹⁴If ye will fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken unto his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, and both ye and also the king that reigneth over you be followers of Jehovah your God, [well]:

¹⁵ Ond os na wrandewch ar yr ARGLWYDD, ond gwrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, yna bydd llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn eich erbyn chwi a'ch brenin i'ch difa.

¹⁵but if ye will not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah, but rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as it was against your fathers.

¹⁶ Yn awr, safwch yma a gwelwch y peth mawr hwn y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn ei wneud o flaen eich llygaid.

¹⁶Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Jehovah will do before your eyes.

¹⁷ Onid yw'n adeg y cynhaeaf gwenith? Galwaf ar yr ARGLWYDD i anfon taranau a glaw, a chewch weld a gwybod eich bod wedi cyflawni trosedd mawr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD drwy ofyn am frenin."

¹⁷Is it not wheat harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, that he may send thunder and rain; and ye shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah, in asking you a king.

¹⁸ Yna galwodd Samuel ar yr ARGLWYDD, ac anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD daranau a glaw y diwrnod hwnnw, ac ofnodd yr holl bobl yr ARGLWYDD a Samuel.

¹⁸So Samuel called unto Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.

¹⁹ Dywedodd yr holl bobl wrth Samuel, "Gwedd�a ar yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw ar ein rhan, rhag inni farw, oherwydd yr ydym wedi ychwanegu at ein holl bechodau y drwg hwn o geisio inni frenin."

¹⁹And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto Jehovah thy God, that we die not; for we have added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king.

²⁰ Dywedodd Samuel wrth y bobl, "Peidiwch ag ofni, er i chwi wneud yr holl ddrwg hwn; peidiwch � throi i ffwrdd oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD; addolwch yr ARGLWYDD �'ch holl galon.

²⁰And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not; ye have indeed done all this evil; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, but serve Jehovah with all your heart:

²¹ Peidiwch � throi at wagedd eilunod na fedrant gynorthwyo na gwaredu am mai gwagedd ydynt.

²¹and turn ye not aside; for [then would ye go] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain.

²² Er mwyn ei enw mawr ni fydd yr ARGLWYDD yn gwrthod ei bobl; oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dymuno'ch gwneud yn bobl iddo.

²²For Jehovah will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it hath pleased Jehovah to make you a people unto himself.

²³ A phell y bo oddi wrthyf finnau bechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD trwy roi'r gorau i wedd�o drosoch a'ch hyfforddi yn y ffordd dda ac uniawn.

²³Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

²⁴ Yn unig ofnwch yr ARGLWYDD, a gwasanaethwch ef mewn gwirionedd ac �'ch holl galon. Ystyriwch y pethau mawr a wnaeth drosoch.

²⁴Only fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you.

²⁵ Ond os parhewch i wneud drwg, ysgubir chwi a'ch brenin i ffwrdd."

²⁵But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
