¹ Ar �l marwolaeth Saul dychwelodd Dafydd o daro'r Amaleciaid, ac aros ddeuddydd yn Siclag.

¹And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;

² Ar y trydydd dydd cyrhaeddodd dyn o wersyll Saul a'i ddillad wedi eu rhwygo a phridd ar ei ben. Daeth at Ddafydd, syrthiodd o'i flaen a moesymgrymu.

²it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

³ Gofynnodd Dafydd iddo, "O ble y daethost?" Atebodd yntau, "Wedi dianc o wersyll Israel yr wyf."

³And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

⁴ Dywedodd Dafydd wrtho, "Dywed wrthyf sut y bu pethau." Adroddodd yntau fel y bu i'r bobl ffoi o'r frwydr, a bod llawer ohonynt wedi syrthio a marw, a bod Saul a'i fab Jonathan hefyd wedi marw.

⁴And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

⁵ Gofynnodd Dafydd i'r llanc oedd yn adrodd yr hanes wrtho, "Sut y gwyddost ti fod Saul a'i fab Jonathan wedi marw?"

⁵And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?

⁶ Ac meddai'r llanc oedd yn dweud yr hanes wrtho, "Yr oeddwn yn digwydd bod ar Fynydd Gilboa, a dyna lle'r oedd Saul yn pwyso ar ei waywffon, a'r cerbydau a'r marchogion yn cau amdano.

⁶And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.

⁷ Wrth iddo droi fe'm gwelodd i, a galw arnaf. 'Dyma fi,' meddwn innau.

⁷And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.

⁸ Gofynnodd i mi, 'Pwy wyt ti?' Atebais innau, 'Amaleciad.'

⁸And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.

⁹ Yna dywedodd wrthyf, 'Tyrd yma a lladd fi, oherwydd y mae gwendid wedi cydio ynof, er bod bywyd yn dal ynof.'

⁹And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me; for anguish hath taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.

¹⁰ Felly euthum ato a'i ladd, oherwydd gwyddwn na fyddai fyw wedi iddo gwympo. Cymerais y goron oedd ar ei ben a'r freichled oedd am ei fraich, a deuthum � hwy yma at f'arglwydd."

¹⁰So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.

¹¹ Gafaelodd Dafydd yn ei wisg a'i rhwygo, a gwnaeth yr holl ddynion oedd gydag ef yr un modd;

¹¹Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:

¹² a buont yn galaru, yn wylo ac yn ymprydio hyd yr hwyr dros Saul a'i fab Jonathan, a hefyd dros bobl yr ARGLWYDD a thu375? Israel, am eu bod wedi syrthio drwy'r cleddyf.

¹²and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

¹³ Holodd Dafydd y llanc a ddaeth �'r newydd, "Un o ble wyt ti?" Atebodd yntau, "Mab i Amaleciad a ddaeth yma i fyw wyf fi."

¹³And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.

¹⁴ Ac meddai Dafydd wrtho, "Sut na fyddai arnat ofn estyn dy law i ddistrywio eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD?"

¹⁴And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?

¹⁵ Yna galwodd Dafydd ar un o'r llanciau a dweud, "Tyrd, rho ergyd iddo!" Trawodd yntau ef, a bu farw.

¹⁵And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him, so that he died.

¹⁶ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud wrtho, "Bydded dy waed ar dy ben di dy hun; tystiodd dy enau dy hun yn dy erbyn pan ddywedaist, 'Myfi a laddodd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD'."

¹⁶And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.

¹⁷ Canodd Dafydd yr alarnad hon am Saul a'i fab Jonathan,

¹⁷And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son

¹⁸ a gorchymyn ei dysgu i'r Jwdeaid. Y mae wedi ei hysgrifennu yn Llyfr Jasar:

¹⁸(and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

¹⁹ "O ardderchowgrwydd Israel, a drywanwyd ar dy uchelfannau! O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn!

¹⁹Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!

²⁰ "Peidiwch �'i adrodd yn Gath, na'i gyhoeddi ar strydoedd Ascalon, rhag i ferched y Philistiaid lawenhau, rhag i ferched y dienwaededig orfoleddu.

²⁰Tell it not in Gath, Publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

²¹ "O fynyddoedd Gilboa, na foed gwlith na glaw arnoch, chwi feysydd marwolaeth. Canys yno yr halogwyd tarian y cedyrn, tarian Saul heb ei hiro ag olew.

²¹Ye mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.

²² "Oddi wrth waed lladdedigion, oddi wrth fraster rhai cedyrn, ni throdd bwa Jonathan erioed yn �l; a chleddyf Saul ni ddychwelai'n wag.

²²From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.

²³ "Saul a Jonathan, yr anwylaf a'r hyfrytaf o wu375?r, yn eu bywyd ac yn eu hangau ni wahanwyd hwy; cyflymach nag eryrod oeddent, a chryfach na llewod.

²³Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.

²⁴ "O ferched Israel, wylwch am Saul, a fyddai'n eich gwisgo'n foethus mewn ysgarlad, ac yn rhoi gemau aur ar eich gwisg.

²⁴Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

²⁵ "O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn yng nghanol y frwydr! lladdwyd Jonathan ar dy uchelfannau.

²⁵How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.

²⁶ "Gofidus wyf amdanat, fy mrawd Jonathan; buost yn annwyl iawn gennyf; yr oedd dy gariad tuag ataf yn rhyfeddol, y tu hwnt i gariad gwragedd.

²⁶I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: Very pleasant hast thou been unto me: Thy love to me was wonderful, Passing the love of women.

²⁷ "O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn, ac y difethwyd arfau rhyfel!"

²⁷How are the mighty fallen, And the weapons of war perished!
