¹ Wedi i Ddafydd orffen siarad � Saul, ymglymodd enaid Jonathan wrth enaid Dafydd, a charodd ef fel ef ei hun.

¹And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

² Cymerodd Saul ef y dydd hwnnw, ac ni chaniataodd iddo fynd adref at ei dad.

²And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

³ Gwnaeth Jonathan gyfamod � Dafydd am ei fod yn ei garu fel ef ei hun;

³Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

⁴ tynnodd y fantell oedd amdano a'i rhoi i Ddafydd; hefyd ei arfau, hyd yn oed ei gleddyf, ei fwa a'i wregys.

⁴And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

⁵ Llwyddodd Dafydd ym mhob gorchwyl a roddai Saul iddo, a gosododd Saul ef yn bennaeth ei filwyr, er boddhad i bawb, gan gynnwys swyddogion Saul.

⁵And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

⁶ Un tro yr oeddent ar eu ffordd adref, a Dafydd yn dychwelyd ar �l taro'r Philistiaid, a daeth y gwragedd allan ym mhob tref yn Israel i edrych; aeth y merched dawnsio i gyfarfod y Brenin Saul gyda thympanau a molawdau a thrionglau,

⁶And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music.

⁷ ac yn eu llawenydd canodd y gwragedd: "Lladdodd Saul ei filoedd, a Dafydd ei fyrddiynau."

⁷And the women sang one to another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.

⁸ Digiodd Saul yn arw, a chafodd ei gythruddo gan y dywediad. Meddai, "Maent yn rhoi myrddiynau i Ddafydd, a dim ond miloedd i mi; beth yn rhagor sydd iddo ond y frenhiniaeth?"

⁸And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?

⁹ o'r diwrnod hwnnw ymlaen yr oedd Saul yn cadw llygad ar Ddafydd.

⁹And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

¹⁰ Trannoeth meddiannwyd Saul gan yr ysbryd drwg, a pharablodd yn wallgof yng nghanol y tu375?, ac yr oedd Dafydd yn canu'r delyn yn �l ei arfer.

¹⁰And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day. And Saul had his spear in his hand;

¹¹ Yr oedd gan Saul waywffon yn ei law, a hyrddiodd hi, gan feddwl trywanu Dafydd i'r pared, ond osg�dd Dafydd ef ddwywaith.

¹¹and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

¹² Cafodd Saul ofn rhag Dafydd oherwydd fod yr ARGLWYDD wedi troi o'i blaid ef ac yn erbyn Saul.

¹²And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and was departed from Saul.

¹³ Gyrrodd Saul ef i ffwrdd oddi wrtho, a'i wneud yn gapten ar fil o ddynion; ac ef oedd yn arwain y fyddin.

¹³Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

¹⁴ Yr oedd Dafydd yn llwyddiannus ym mhopeth a wn�i, ac yr oedd yr ARGLWYDD gydag ef.

¹⁴And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.

¹⁵ Pan welodd Saul mor llwyddiannus oedd Dafydd, yr oedd arno fwy o'i ofn.

¹⁵And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.

¹⁶ Yr oedd Israel a Jwda i gyd yn ymserchu yn Nafydd am mai ef oedd yn arwain y fyddin.

¹⁶But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.

¹⁷ Dywedodd Saul wrth Ddafydd, "Dyma fy merch hynaf, Merab. Fe'i rhoddaf yn wraig i ti, ond i ti ddangos gwrhydri i mi ac ymladd brwydrau'r ARGLWYDD." Meddwl yr oedd Saul, "Peidied fy llaw i �'i gyffwrdd, ond yn hytrach law y Philistiaid."

¹⁷And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.

¹⁸ Atebodd Dafydd, "Pwy wyf fi, a beth yw tras llwyth fy nhad yn Israel, i mi fod yn fab-yng-nghyfraith i'w brenin?"

¹⁸And David said unto Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?

¹⁹ Ond pan ddaeth yr amser i roi Merab ferch Saul i Ddafydd, rhoddwyd hi'n wraig i Adriel o Mehola.

¹⁹But it came to pass at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.

²⁰ Syrthiodd Michal ferch Saul mewn cariad � Dafydd, a phan ddywedwyd wrth Saul, yr oedd hynny'n dderbyniol ganddo.

²⁰And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

²¹ Meddyliodd Saul, "Fe'i rhoddaf hi iddo; bydd hi'n fagl iddo, er mwyn i law y Philistiaid ei daro." A dywedodd Saul wrth Ddafydd am yr eildro, "Yn awr cei fod yn fab-yng-nghyfraith imi."

²¹And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time.

²² Yna gorchmynnodd Saul i'w weision, "Dywedwch yn ddistaw bach wrth Ddafydd, 'Y mae'r brenin, weli di, yn falch ohonot, a phawb o'i weision yn dy hoffi; yn awr, prioda ferch y brenin'."

²²And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.

²³ Pan sibrydodd gweision Saul y pethau hyn yng nghlust Dafydd, dywedodd ef, "Ai dibwys o beth yn eich golwg yw priodi merch y brenin? Dyn tlawd a dinod wyf fi."

²³And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?

²⁴ Aeth gweision Saul �'r neges yn �l iddo, sut yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud.

²⁴And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.

²⁵ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Dywedwch fel hyn wrth Ddafydd, 'Nid yw'r brenin yn chwennych rhodd briodas heblaw cant o flaengrwyn Philistiaid, i dalu'r pwyth i elynion y brenin'." Syniad Saul oedd peri i Ddafydd gwympo trwy law y Philistiaid.

²⁵And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

²⁶ Cyflwynodd ei weision y neges hon i Ddafydd, ac ystyriodd y byddai'n dderbyniol iddo felly briodi merch y brenin.

²⁶And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired;

²⁷ Cyn bod yr amser wedi dod i ben, cychwynnodd Dafydd allan gyda'i wu375?r, ac aethant a lladd dau gant o ddynion y Philistiaid. Dygodd Dafydd eu blaengrwyn a'u cyflwyno i gyd i'r brenin, er mwyn cael priodi merch y brenin; a rhoddodd Saul ei ferch Michal yn wraig iddo.

²⁷and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

²⁸ Wedi i Saul weld a sylweddoli bod yr ARGLWYDD gyda Dafydd, a bod ei ferch Michal yn ei garu,

²⁸And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David; and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.

²⁹ daeth arno fwy o ofn Dafydd nag o'r blaen, ac aeth yn elyn am oes iddo.

²⁹And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.

³⁰ Bob tro y d�i arweinwyr y Philistiaid allan i ymladd, byddai Dafydd yn fwy llwyddiannus na phawb arall o weision Saul, ac enillodd enwogrwydd mawr.

³⁰Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
