¹ Aeth Dafydd i Nob at yr offeiriad Ahimelech. Daeth yntau i'w gyfarfod dan grynu, a gofyn iddo, "Pam yr wyt ti ar dy ben dy hun, heb neb gyda thi?"

¹Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

² Ac meddai Dafydd wrth yr offeiriad Ahimelech, "Y brenin sydd wedi rhoi gorchymyn imi, a dweud wrthyf, 'Nid yw neb i wybod dim pam yr anfonais di, na beth a orchmynnais iti.' Ac yr wyf wedi rhoi cyfarwyddyd i'r milwyr ifainc i'm cyfarfod yn y fan a'r fan.

²And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know anything of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place.

³ Yn awr, beth sydd gennyt wrth law? Gad imi gael pum torth, neu'r hyn sydd gennyt."

³Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatsoever there is present.

⁴ Atebodd yr offeiriad, "Nid oes gennyf ddim bara cyffredin wrth law; ond y mae yma fara cysegredig � os yw'r milwyr wedi ymgadw'n llwyr oddi wrth wragedd."

⁴And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.

⁵ Atebodd Dafydd, "Yn wir y mae'n hen arfer gennym ymgadw oddi wrth wragedd pan fyddaf yn cychwyn ar ymgyrch, fel bod arfau'r milwyr yn gysegredig; ac os yw felly ar siwrnai gyffredin, pa faint mwy y bydd yr arfau'n gysegredig heddiw?"

⁵And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then to-day shall their vessels be holy?

⁶ Yna fe roddodd yr offeiriad iddo'r bara cysegredig, gan nad oedd yno ddim ond y bara gosod oedd wedi ei symud o bresenoldeb yr ARGLWYDD, er mwyn gosod bara ffres ar ddiwrnod y cyfnewid.

⁶So the priest gave him holy [bread]; for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before Jehovah, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

⁷ Ar y pryd, yr oedd un o weision Saul yno dan adduned gerbron yr ARGLWYDD; ei enw oedd Doeg yr Edomiad, ac ef oedd penbugail Saul.

⁷Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul.

⁸ Gofynnodd Dafydd i Ahimelech, "Onid oes yma waywffon neu gleddyf wrth law gennyt? Oherwydd ni ddeuthum �'m cleddyf na'm harfau gyda mi, am fod cymaint brys gyda gorchymyn y brenin."

⁸And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.

⁹ Atebodd yr offeiriad, "Beth am gleddyf Goliath y Philistiad, y dyn a leddaist yn nyffryn Ela? Y mae hwnnw yma wedi ei lapio mewn brethyn y tu �l i'r effod. Os wyt ti am hwnnw, cymer ef, oherwydd nid oes yma yr un arall ond hwnnw."

⁹And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the vale of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it; for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.

¹⁰ Ac meddai Dafydd, "Nid oes debyg iddo; rho ef imi." Y diwrnod hwnnw ymadawodd Dafydd, ac er mwyn ffoi oddi wrth Saul, aeth at Achis brenin Gath.

¹⁰And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

¹¹ Gofynnodd gweision Achis iddo, "Onid hwn yw Dafydd, brenin y wlad? Onid am hwn y maent yn canu wrth ddawnsio, 'Lladdodd Saul ei filoedd, a Dafydd ei fyrddiynau'?"

¹¹And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?

¹² Cymerodd Dafydd y geiriau hyn at ei galon, ac ofnodd rhag Achis brenin Gath.

¹²And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

¹³ Newidiodd ei ymddygiad o'u blaen, a dechrau ymddwyn fel ynfytyn yn eu mysg, a chripio drysau'r porth, a glafoerio hyd ei farf.

¹³And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

¹⁴ Ac meddai Achis wrth ei weision, "Gallwch weld bod y dyn yn wallgof; pam y daethoch ag ef ataf fi?

¹⁴Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad; wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

¹⁵ A wyf yn brin o ynfydion, fel eich bod yn dod � hwn o'm blaen i ynfydu? A ddaw hwn i'm tu375??"

¹⁵Do I lack madmen, that ye have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
