¹ Dywedodd Saul wrth ei fab Jonathan a'i holl weision am ladd Dafydd.

¹And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.

² Ond yr oedd Jonathan fab Saul wedi mynd yn hoff iawn o Ddafydd, a dywedodd wrtho, "Y mae fy nhad Saul yn ceisio dy ladd di; bydd di'n ofalus ohonot dy hun bore yfory, ac ymguddia ac aros o'r golwg.

²And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to slay thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

³ Mi af finnau a sefyll yn ymyl fy nhad, allan yn ymyl y lle y byddi di, ac mi soniaf amdanat wrth fy nhad; ac os gwelaf unrhyw beth, mi ddywedaf wrthyt."

³and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.

⁴ Siaradodd Jonathan o blaid Dafydd wrth ei dad Saul, a dweud wrtho, "Peidied y brenin � gwneud cam �'i was Dafydd, oherwydd ni wnaeth ef gam � thi; yn wir, bu ei weithredoedd o les mawr iti.

⁴And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

⁵ Mentrodd ei fywyd i ladd y Philistiad hwnnw, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD fuddugoliaeth fawr i Israel gyfan. Yr oeddit tithau'n gweld ac yn llawenychu; pam ynteu yr wyt am wneud cam ag un dieuog, a lladd Dafydd heb achos?"

⁵for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

⁶ Gwrandawodd Saul ar ble Jonathan a thyngodd: "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, ni chaiff ei ladd."

⁶And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death.

⁷ Wedi i Jonathan alw Dafydd, a dweud hyn i gyd wrtho, aeth ag ef at Saul; a bu Dafydd yn ei wasanaethu fel cynt.

⁷And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.

⁸ A phan dorrodd rhyfel allan eto, aeth Dafydd i ymladd yn erbyn y Philistiaid a gwneud difrod mawr arnynt, a hwythau'n ffoi o'i flaen.

⁸And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.

⁹ Daeth ysbryd drwg oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD ar Saul ac yntau'n eistedd gartref � gwaywffon yn ei law, a Dafydd yn canu'r delyn.

⁹And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.

¹⁰ Ceisiodd Saul drywanu'r waywffon trwy Ddafydd i'r pared, ond osg�dd Dafydd ef, ac i'r pared y trawodd y waywffon; felly dihangodd Dafydd a ffoi.

¹⁰And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

¹¹ Y noson honno anfonodd Saul negeswyr i gartref Dafydd i'w wylio er mwyn ei ladd yn y bore. Ond yr oedd Michal gwraig Dafydd wedi dweud wrtho, "Os na fyddi'n dianc heno am d'einioes, yfory byddi'n farw."

¹¹And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.

¹² Felly, wedi i Michal ollwng Dafydd i lawr drwy'r ffenestr, aeth yntau ar ffo a dianc.

¹²So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

¹³ Yna cymerodd Michal y teraffim a'u gosod yn y gwely, a rhoi clustog o flew geifr lle byddai'r pen, a thaenu dilledyn drosti.

¹³And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' [hair] at the head thereof, and covered it with the clothes.

¹⁴ Pan anfonodd Saul negeswyr i ddal Dafydd, dywedodd hi, "Y mae'n glaf."

¹⁴And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

¹⁵ Ond anfonodd Saul y negeswyr yn �l i chwilio am Ddafydd gyda'r gorchymyn, "Dewch ag ef ataf yn ei wely, imi ei ladd."

¹⁵And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

¹⁶ Pan ddaeth y negeswyr, dyna lle'r oedd y teraffim yn y gwely, gyda chlustog o flew geifr wrth y pen.

¹⁶And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' [hair] at the head thereof.

¹⁷ Meddai Saul wrth Michal, "Pam y twyllaist fi fel hyn, a gollwng fy ngelyn yn rhydd i ddianc?" Atebodd Michal, "Ef a ddywedodd wrthyf, 'Gollwng fi, neu mi'th laddaf.'"

¹⁷And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, so that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?

¹⁸ Ffodd Dafydd a dianc i Rama at Samuel, ac adrodd wrtho'r cwbl a wnaeth Saul iddo. Yna aeth Samuel ac yntau, ac aros yn Naioth.

¹⁸Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

¹⁹ Mynegwyd i Saul, "Y mae Dafydd yn Naioth ger Rama."

¹⁹And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

²⁰ Anfonodd Saul negeswyr i ddal Dafydd, ond pan welsant dwr o broffwydi'n proffwydo, a Samuel yn sefyll yno'n bennaeth arnynt, disgynnodd ysbryd Duw arnynt ac aethant hwythau i broffwydo.

²⁰And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

²¹ Pan fynegwyd hyn i Saul, anfonodd negeswyr eraill, ond aethant hwythau i broffwydo hefyd; a phan anfonodd Saul negeswyr am y trydydd tro, aeth y rheini hefyd i broffwydo.

²¹And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

²² Yna fe aeth ef ei hun i Rama, ac wedi iddo gyrraedd y pydew mawr yn Secu a holi ple'r oedd Samuel a Dafydd, dywedodd rhywun eu bod yn Naioth ger Rama.

²²Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.

²³ Wrth iddo fynd yno i Naioth ger Rama, disgynnodd ysbryd Duw arno yntau hefyd, ac aeth yn ei flaen dan broffwydo nes dod i Naioth ger Rama.

²³And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

²⁴ Yno fe ddiosgodd yntau ei ddillad a phroffwydo gerbron Samuel; a gorweddodd yn noeth drwy'r dydd a'r noson honno. Dyna pam y dywedir, "A yw Saul hefyd ymysg y proffwydi?"

²⁴And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
