¹ Un diwrnod, heb yngan gair wrth ei dad, dywedodd Jonathan fab Saul wrth y gwas oedd yn cludo'i arfau, "Tyrd, awn drosodd at wylwyr y Philistiaid sydd acw gyferbyn � ni."

¹Now it fell upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on yonder side. But he told not his father.

² Yr oedd Saul yn aros yng nghwr Gibea, dan y pren pomgranad sydd yn Migron, a thua chwe chant o bobl gydag ef;

²And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;

³ Ahia, mab Ahitub brawd Ichabod, fab Phinees, fab Eli, offeiriad yr ARGLWYDD yn Seilo, oedd yn cario'r effod. Ni wyddai'r bobl fod Jonathan wedi mynd.

³and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

⁴ Yn y bwlch lle'r oedd Jonathan yn ceisio croesi tuag at wylwyr y Philistiaid yr oedd clogwyn o graig ar y naill ochr a'r llall; Boses oedd enw'r naill a Senne oedd enw'r llall.

⁴And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

⁵ Yr oedd un clogwyn yn taflu allan i'r gogledd ar ochr Michmas, a'r llall i'r de ar ochr Geba.

⁵The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

⁶ Dywedodd Jonathan wrth y gwas oedd yn cludo'i arfau, "Tyrd, awn drosodd at y gwylwyr dienwaededig acw; efallai y bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn gweithio o'n plaid, oherwydd nid oes dim i rwystro'r ARGLWYDD rhag gwaredu trwy lawer neu drwy ychydig."

⁶And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.

⁷ Dywedodd cludydd ei arfau wrtho, "Gwna beth bynnag sydd yn dy fryd; dygna arni; rwyf gyda thi, galon wrth galon."

⁷And his armorbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

⁸ Dywedodd Jonathan, "Edrych yma, fe awn drosodd at y dynion a'n dangos ein hunain iddynt.

⁸Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto the men, and we will disclose ourselves unto them.

⁹ Os dywedant wrthym, 'Arhoswch lle'r ydych nes y byddwn wedi dod atoch', fe arhoswn lle byddwn heb fynd atynt.

⁹If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.

¹⁰ Ond os dywedant, 'Dewch i fyny atom', yna awn i fyny, oherwydd bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn eu rhoi yn ein llaw; a bydd hyn yn arwydd inni."

¹⁰But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up; for Jehovah hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be the sign unto us.

¹¹ Dangosodd y ddau ohonynt eu hunain i wylwyr y Philistiaid, a dywedodd y Philistiaid, "Dyma Hebreaid yn dod allan o'r tyllau lle buont yn cuddio."

¹¹And both of them disclosed themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

¹² A gwaeddodd dynion yr wyliadwriaeth ar Jonathan a'i gludydd arfau, a dweud, "Dewch i fyny atom, i ni gael dangos rhywbeth i chwi." Dywedodd Jonathan wrth ei gludydd arfau, "Tyrd i fyny ar f'�l i, oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi eu rhoi yn llaw Israel."

¹²And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armorbearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

¹³ Dringodd Jonathan i fyny ar ei ddwylo a'i draed, gyda'i gludydd arfau ar ei �l. Cwympodd y gwylwyr o flaen Jonathan, a daeth ei gludydd arfau ar ei �l i'w dienyddio.

¹³And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armorbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armorbearer slew them after him.

¹⁴ Y tro cyntaf hwn, lladdodd Jonathan a'i gludydd arfau tuag ugain o ddynion o fewn tua hanner cwys cae.

¹⁴And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armorbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

¹⁵ Cododd braw drwy'r gwersyll a'r maes, a brawychwyd holl bobl yr wyliadwriaeth, a'r rheibwyr hefyd, nes bod y wlad yn crynu gan arswyd.

¹⁵And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.

¹⁶ Yna gwelodd ysbiwyr Saul oedd yn Gibea Benjamin fod y gwersyll yn rhuthro yma ac acw mewn anhrefn.

¹⁶And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went [hither] and thither.

¹⁷ Dywedodd Saul wrth y bobl oedd gydag ef, "Galwch y rhestr i weld pwy sydd wedi mynd o'n plith."

¹⁷Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.

¹⁸ Galwyd y rhestr, a chael nad oedd Jonathan na'i gludydd arfau yno. Yna dywedodd Saul wrth Ahia, "Tyrd �'r effod." Oherwydd yr adeg honno ef oedd yn cludo'r effod o flaen Israel.

¹⁸And Saul said unto Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was [there] at that time with the children of Israel.

¹⁹ Tra oedd Saul yn siarad �'r offeiriad, cynyddodd yr anhrefn fwyfwy yng ngwersyll y Philistiaid, a dywedodd Saul wrth yr offeiriad, "Atal dy law."

¹⁹And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

²⁰ Galwodd Saul yr holl bobl oedd gydag ef, ac aethant i'r frwydr; yno yr oedd pob un �'i gleddyf yn erbyn ei gyfaill, mewn anhrefn llwyr.

²⁰And Saul and all the people that were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture.

²¹ A dyma'r Hebreaid oedd gynt ar ochr y Philistiaid, ac wedi dod i fyny i'r gwersyll gyda hwy, yn troi ac yn ochri gyda'r Israeliaid oedd gyda Saul a Jonathan.

²¹Now the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as beforetime, and that went up with them into the camp, [from the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

²² A phan glywodd yr Israeliaid oedd yn llechu yn ucheldir Effraim fod y Philistiaid ar ffo, dyna hwythau hefyd yn ymuno i'w hymlid.

²²Likewise all the men of Israel that had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

²³ Y dydd hwnnw gwaredodd yr ARGLWYDD Israel, ac ymledodd y frwydr tu hwnt i Beth-afen.

²³So Jehovah saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.

²⁴ Ond aeth yn gyfyng ar yr Israeliaid y diwrnod hwnnw, oherwydd i Saul dynghedu'r bobl a dweud, "Melltigedig fyddo'r un sy'n bwyta tamaid cyn yr hwyr! Yr wyf am ddial ar fy ngelynion." Ac ni phrofodd yr un o'r bobl damaid.

²⁴And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

²⁵ Daethant oll i goedwig lle'r oedd m�l gwyllt;

²⁵And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey upon the ground.

²⁶ a phan ddaethant yno a gweld llif o f�l, nid estynnodd neb ei law at ei geg, am fod y bobl yn ofni'r llw.

²⁶And when the people were come unto the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

²⁷ Nid oedd Jonathan wedi clywed ei dad yn gwneud i'r bobl gymryd y llw, ac estynnodd y ffon oedd yn ei law a tharo'i blaen yn y diliau m�l, ac yna'i chodi at ei geg; a gloywodd ei lygaid.

²⁷But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

²⁸ Yna dywedodd un o'r bobl wrtho, "Y mae dy dad wedi gosod llw caeth ar y bobl, ac wedi dweud, 'Melltigedig yw pob un sy'n bwyta tamaid heddiw'. Ac yr oedd y bobl yn lluddedig."

²⁸Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day. And the people were faint.

²⁹ Atebodd Jonathan, "Y mae fy nhad wedi gwneud drwg i'r wlad; edrychwch fel y gloywodd fy llygaid pan brofais fymryn o'r m�l hwn.

²⁹Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

³⁰ Yn wir, pe bai'r bobl wedi cael rhyddid i fwyta heddiw o ysbail eu gelynion, oni fyddai'r lladdfa ymysg y Philistiaid yn drymach?"

³⁰How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now hath there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.

³¹ Y diwrnod hwnnw trawyd y Philistiaid bob cam o Michmas i Ajalon, er bod y bobl wedi blino'n llwyr.

³¹And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint;

³² Yna rhuthrodd y bobl ar yr ysbail a chymryd defaid ac ychen a lloi, a'u lladd ar y ddaear, a'u bwyta heb eu gwaedu.

³²and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground; and the people did eat them with the blood.

³³ Pan ddywedwyd wrth Saul, "Edrych, y mae'r bobl yn pechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD wrth fwyta cig heb ei waedu", dywedodd yntau, "Yr ydych wedi troseddu; rhowliwch yma garreg fawr ar unwaith."

³³Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, ye have dealt treacherously: roll a great stone unto me this day.

³⁴ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Ewch ar frys trwy ganol y bobl a dywedwch wrthynt, 'Doed pob un �'i ych neu ei ddafad ataf fi, a'u lladd yma a'u bwyta, rhag i chwi bechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD trwy fwyta cig heb ei waedu'." Daeth pob un o'r bobl �'i ych gydag ef y noson honno, i'w ladd yno.

³⁴And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

³⁵ Felly y cododd Saul allor i'r ARGLWYDD, a honno oedd yr allor gyntaf iddo'i chodi i'r ARGLWYDD.

³⁵And Saul built an altar unto Jehovah: the same was the first altar that he built unto Jehovah.

³⁶ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Awn i lawr ar �l y Philistiaid liw nos a'u hysbeilio hyd y bore, heb adael yr un ohonynt ar �l." Dywedodd y bobl, "Gwna beth bynnag a fynni." Ond dywedodd yr offeiriad, "Gadewch inni agos�u yma at Dduw."

³⁶And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.

³⁷ Gofynnodd Saul i Dduw, "Os af i lawr ar �l y Philistiaid, a roi di hwy yn llaw Israel?" Ond ni chafodd ateb y diwrnod hwnnw.

³⁷And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

³⁸ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Dewch yma, holl bennau-teuluoedd y bobl, a chwiliwch i gael gweld ymhle mae'r pechod hwn heddiw.

³⁸And Saul said, Draw nigh hither, all ye chiefs of the people; and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

³⁹ Oherwydd, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, yr un a waredodd Israel, hyd yn oed pe byddai yn fy mab Jonathan, byddai raid iddo farw." Ond ni ddywedodd yr un o'r bobl wrtho.

³⁹For, as Jehovah liveth, who saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

⁴⁰ Yna dywedodd wrth yr holl Israeliaid, "Safwch chwi ar un ochr, a minnau a'm mab Jonathan ar yr ochr arall." A dywedodd y bobl wrth Saul, "Gwna fel y gweli'n dda."

⁴⁰Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.

⁴¹ Dywedodd Saul wrth yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, "Pam nad atebaist dy was heddiw? Os yw'r camwedd hwn ynof fi neu yn fy mab Jonathan, O ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, rho Wrim; ond os yw'r camwedd hwn yn dy bobl Israel, rho Twmim." Daliwyd Jonathan a Saul, ac aeth Israel yn rhydd.

⁴¹Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken [by lot]; but the people escaped.

⁴² Dywedodd Saul, "Bwriwch goelbren rhyngof fi a'm mab Jonathan." A daliwyd Jonathan.

⁴²And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

⁴³ Yna dywedodd Saul wrth Jonathan, "Dywed wrthyf beth a wnaethost." Eglurodd Jonathan iddo, a dweud, "Dim ond profi mymryn o f�l ar flaen y ffon oedd yn fy llaw. Dyma fi, rwy'n barod i farw."

⁴³Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, lo, I must die.

⁴⁴ Atebodd Saul, "Fel hyn y gwna Duw i mi, a rhagor, os na fydd Jonathan farw."

⁴⁴And Saul said, God do so and more also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

⁴⁵ Ond dyma'r bobl yn dweud wrth Saul, "A gaiff Jonathan farw, ac yntau wedi ennill y fuddugoliaeth fawr hon i Israel? Pell y bo! Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, ni chaiff blewyn o wallt ei ben syrthio i'r llawr. Gyda Duw y gweithiodd ef y diwrnod hwn." Prynodd y bobl ryddid Jonathan, ac ni fu farw.

⁴⁵And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

⁴⁶ Dychwelodd Saul o ymlid y Philistiaid, ac aeth y Philistiaid adref.

⁴⁶Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

⁴⁷ Wedi i Saul ennill y frenhiniaeth ar Israel, ymladdodd �'i holl elynion oddi amgylch � Moab, yr Ammoniaid, Edom, brenhinoedd Soba a'r Philistiaid � a'u darostwng ble bynnag yr �i.

⁴⁷Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he put [them] to the worse.

⁴⁸ Gweithredodd yn ddewr, trawodd yr Amaleciaid, a rhyddhaodd Israel o law eu gormeswyr.

⁴⁸And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that despoiled them.

⁴⁹ Jonathan, Isfi a Malcisua oedd meibion Saul. Enw'r hynaf o'i ddwy ferch oedd Merab, ac enw'r ieuengaf Michal.

⁴⁹Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

⁵⁰ Ahinoam ferch Ahimaas oedd gwraig Saul, ac Abner fab Ner, ewythr Saul, oedd pennaeth ei lu.

⁵⁰and the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his host was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

⁵¹ Yr oedd Cis tad Saul a Ner tad Abner yn feibion i Abiel.

⁵¹And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

⁵² Bu rhyfel caled yn erbyn y Philistiaid holl ddyddiau Saul; ac os gwelai Saul u373?r cryf a dewr, fe'i cymerai ato.

⁵²And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.
