¹ Bu farw Samuel, a daeth Israel gyfan ynghyd i alaru amdano a'i gladdu yn ei gartref yn Rama. Yna fe aeth Dafydd i ddiffeithwch Maon.

¹And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

² Yn Maon yr oedd dyn yn ffermio yng Ngharmel; yr oedd yn u373?r cyfoethog iawn, a chanddo dair mil o ddefaid a mil o eifr, ac yr oedd wrthi'n cneifio'i ddefaid yng Ngharmel.

²And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

³ Nabal oedd enw'r dyn, ac Abigail oedd enw ei wraig. Yr oedd hi'n ddynes ddeallus a golygus, ond yr oedd y gu373?r � un o lwyth Caleb � yn galed ac anghwrtais.

³Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

⁴ Clywodd Dafydd yn y diffeithwch fod Nabal yn cneifio'i ddefaid,

⁴And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

⁵ ac anfonodd ddeg llanc a dweud wrthynt, "Ewch i fyny i Garmel, a mynd at Nabal a'i gyfarch yn f'enw;

⁵And David sent ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

⁶ a dywedwch fel hyn wrth fy mrawd, 'Heddwch i ti ac i'th deulu a'th eiddo i gyd.

⁶and thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity], Peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

⁷ Clywais dy fod yn cneifio. Bu dy fugeiliaid gyda ni, ac nid ydym wedi eu cam-drin na pheri dim colled iddynt, yr holl adeg y buont yng Ngharmel.

⁷And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

⁸ Gofyn i'th lanciau, ac fe ddywedant wrthyt. Felly rho dderbyniad caredig i'm llanciau innau, oherwydd daethom ar ddiwrnod da; rho'r hyn sydd agosaf at dy law i'th weision ac i'th fab Dafydd.'"

⁸Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee: wherefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thy hand, unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

⁹ Daeth llanciau Dafydd a dweud y geiriau hyn i gyd yn enw Dafydd.

⁹And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

¹⁰ Wedi iddynt orffen, atebodd Nabal a dweud wrth weision Dafydd, "Pwy yw Dafydd, a phwy yw mab Jesse? Y mae llawer o weision yn dianc oddi wrth eu meistri y dyddiau hyn.

¹⁰And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.

¹¹ A wyf fi i gymryd fy mara a'm du373?r a'r cig a leddais ar gyfer fy nghneifwyr, a'u rhoi i ddynion na wn o ble y maent?"

¹¹Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men of whom I know not whence they are?

¹² Troes llanciau Dafydd i ffwrdd, a dychwelyd at Ddafydd a dweud hyn i gyd wrtho.

¹²So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

¹³ Dywedodd Dafydd wrth ei ddynion, "Gwregyswch bawb ei gleddyf." Wedi iddynt hwy a Dafydd hefyd wregysu eu cleddyfau, aeth tua phedwar cant ohonynt i fyny ar �l Dafydd, gan adael dau gant gyda'r offer.

¹³And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.

¹⁴ Yr oedd un o'r llanciau wedi dweud wrth Abigail, gwraig Nabal, "Clyw, fe anfonodd Dafydd negeswyr o'r diffeithwch i gyfarch ein meistr, ond fe'u difr�odd.

¹⁴But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.

¹⁵ Bu'r dynion yn dda iawn wrthym ni, heb ein cam-drin na pheri dim colled inni yr holl adeg y buom yn ymdroi gyda hwy pan oeddem yn y maes.

¹⁵But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields:

¹⁶ Buont yn fur inni, nos a dydd, yr holl adeg y buom yn bugeilio'r praidd yn eu hymyl.

¹⁶they were a wall unto us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

¹⁷ Ystyria'n awr ac edrych beth y gelli ei wneud, oherwydd y mae drwg wedi ei bennu i'n meistr ac yn erbyn ei deulu i gyd, ond y mae ef yn ormod o ddihiryn i neb ddweud dim wrtho."

¹⁷Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow, that one cannot speak to him.

¹⁸ Brysiodd Abigail a chymryd dau gan torth o fara a dwy botel o win, pum dafad wedi eu paratoi a phum hobaid o greision, a hefyd can swp o rawnwin a dau gant o ffigys. Llwythodd hwy ar asynnod,

¹⁸Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

¹⁹ a dywedodd wrth ei gweision, "Ewch o'm blaen; byddaf finnau'n dod ar eich �l." Ond ni ddywedodd ddim wrth ei gu373?r Nabal.

¹⁹And she said unto her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

²⁰ Fel yr oedd hi ar gefn ei hasyn yn dod i lawr llechwedd y mynydd, yr oedd Dafydd a'i wu375?r yn dod i lawr tuag ati, a chyfarfu � hwy.

²⁰And it was so, as she rode on her ass, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

²¹ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud, "Y mae'n amlwg mai'n ofer y b�m yn gwarchod holl eiddo hwn yn y diffeithwch, heb iddo golli dim o'r cwbl oedd ganddo; y mae wedi talu imi ddrwg am dda.

²¹Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.

²² Gwnaed Duw fel hyn i mi, a rhagor, os gadawaf ar �l erbyn y bore un gwryw o'r rhai sy'n perthyn iddo."

²²God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.

²³ Pan welodd Abigail Ddafydd, brysiodd i ddisgyn oddi ar yr asyn, ac ymgrymodd ar ei hwyneb a phlygu i'r llawr o flaen Dafydd.

²³And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and alighted from her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

²⁴ Wedi iddi syrthio wrth ei draed, dywedodd, "Arnaf fi, syr, y bydded y bai; gad imi egluro'n awr, a gwrando dithau ar eiriau dy wasanaethferch.

²⁴And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity; and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

²⁵ Paid � chymryd sylw o'r dihiryn yma, Nabal. Y mae yr un fath �'i enw: Nabal, sef Ynfyd, yw ei enw, ac ynfyd yw ei natur. Ni welais i, dy wasanaethferch, mo'r llanciau a anfonaist ti, syr.

²⁵Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

²⁶ Felly'n awr, syr, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, a thithau hefyd, gan i'r ARGLWYDD dy atal rhag dod i dywallt gwaed a dial drosot dy hun, bydded dy elynion a'r rhai sy'n ceisio drwg iti, syr, fel Nabal.

²⁶Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

²⁷ Yn awr, daeth dy wasanaethferch �'r rhodd hon iti, syr, i'w rhoi i'r llanciau sy'n dy ganlyn.

²⁷And now this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

²⁸ Maddau gamwri dy wasanaethferch, oherwydd yn sicr bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn creu olyniaeth sicr i ti, syr, am dy fod yn ymladd brwydrau'r ARGLWYDD; a byth ni cheir dim bai ynot.

²⁸Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of Jehovah; and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.

²⁹ Os bydd unrhyw ddyn yn codi i'th erlid ac i geisio dy fywyd, bydd dy fywyd di, syr, wedi ei rwymo yn rhwymyn bywyd gyda'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw; ond bydd bywyd dy elynion yn cael ei hyrddio fel carreg o ffon dafl.

²⁹And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

³⁰ A phan fydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi gwneud daioni i ti, syr, yn �l y cyfan a addawodd amdanat, ac wedi dy osod yn arweinydd dros Israel,

³⁰And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,

³¹ ni fydd hyn yn ofid nac yn boen cydwybod iti, sef dy fod wedi tywallt gwaed heb achos i ddial drosot dy hun. A phan fydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi bod yn dda wrthyt ti, syr, cofia dy wasanaethferch."

³¹that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

³² Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Abigail, "Bendigedig fyddo'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, am iddo dy anfon di heddiw i'm cyfarfod.

³²And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:

³³ Bendith ar dy gyngor, ac arnat tithau, am iti fy atal heddiw rhag dod i dywallt gwaed a dial drosof fy hun.

³³and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

³⁴ Yn wir iti, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, yn fyw, yr un a'm hataliodd rhag dy ddrygu, oni bai dy fod wedi brysio i ddod i'm cyfarfod, ni fyddai'r un gwryw ar �l gan Nabal erbyn y bore."

³⁴For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, who hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.

³⁵ Derbyniodd Dafydd o'i llaw yr hyn a ddygodd iddo, a dywedodd wrthi, "Dos adref mewn heddwch; edrych, yr wyf wedi gwrando arnat a chaniat�u dy gais."

³⁵So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said unto her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

³⁶ Pan ddaeth Abigail yn �l at Nabal, yr oedd ganddo wledd yn ei du375? fel gwledd brenin. Am fod calon Nabal yn llawen, ac yntau'n feddw iawn, ni ddywedodd hi wrtho yr un gair, bach na mawr, hyd y bore.

³⁶And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

³⁷ Trannoeth, wedi i Nabal sobri, dywedodd ei wraig yr hanes wrtho, ac aeth ei galon yn farw o'i fewn ac aeth yntau fel carreg.

³⁷And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

³⁸ Ymhen tua deg diwrnod, trawodd yr ARGLWYDD Nabal a bu farw.

³⁸And it came to pass about ten days after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, so that he died.

³⁹ Pan glywodd Dafydd fod Nabal wedi marw, dywedodd, "Bendigedig fyddo'r ARGLWYDD, sydd wedi dial drosof am y sarhad gan Nabal; y mae wedi atal ei was rhag gwneud camwedd, ac wedi talu'r pwyth yn �l i Nabal." Yna fe anfonodd Dafydd, a chynnig am Abigail i'w chymryd yn wraig iddo'i hun.

³⁹And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath Jehovah returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

⁴⁰ Daeth gweision Dafydd i Garmel at Abigail a dweud wrthi, "Y mae Dafydd wedi'n hanfon ni atat i'th gymryd yn wraig iddo."

⁴⁰And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

⁴¹ Ar unwaith ymgrymodd hithau i'r llawr a dweud, "Dyma fi, yn barod i olchi traed gweision f'arglwydd fel caethferch."

⁴¹And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

⁴² Parat�dd Abigail ar unwaith i fynd, a marchogodd ar gefn asyn, gyda phump o'i morynion i'w chanlyn, a dilyn negeswyr Dafydd, a daeth yn wraig iddo.

⁴²And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

⁴³ Priododd Dafydd hefyd Ahinoam o Jesreel, a bu'r ddwy yn wragedd iddo.

⁴³David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives.

⁴⁴ Yr oedd Saul wedi rhoi ei ferch Michal, a fu'n wraig i Ddafydd, i Palti fab Lais, a oedd o Galim.

⁴⁴Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
