¹ Dywedodd Samuel wrth holl Israel, "Edrychwch, yr wyf wedi gwrando ar bopeth a ddywedasoch wrthyf, a gosod brenin arnoch.

¹And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.

² Yn awr, dyma'r brenin fydd yn eich arwain. Yr wyf fi'n hen a phenwyn, ac y mae fy meibion gyda chwi. B�m yn eich arwain, o'm hieuenctid hyd heddiw.

²And now behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth up to this day.

³ Dyma fi; tystiwch yn f'erbyn gerbron yr ARGLWYDD a'i eneiniog: a gymerais ych unrhyw un? A gymerais asyn unrhyw un? A dwyllais rywun? A orthrymais rywun? A dderbyniais gil-dwrn oddi wrth rywun i gau fy llygaid? Dewch � thystiolaeth, ac fe'i rhoddaf yn �l."

³Here I am: testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you.

⁴ Ond dywedasant, "Nid wyt ti wedi'n twyllo na'n gorthrymu, nac wedi cymryd dim gan neb."

⁴And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.

⁵ Yna dywedodd wrthynt, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dyst yn eich erbyn heddiw, a'i eneiniog hefyd, na chawsoch un dim yn fy meddiant." "Ydyw, y mae'n dyst," meddai'r bobl.

⁵And he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand! And [the people] said, [He is] witness!

⁶ Dywedodd Samuel, "Y tyst yw yr ARGLWYDD, a gododd Moses ac Aaron, ac a ddygodd eich hynafiaid i fyny o wlad yr Aifft;

⁶And Samuel said to the people, [It is] Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

⁷ felly safwch mewn trefn er mwyn imi ymresymu � chwi gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, ynglu375?n �'r holl weithredoedd achubol a wnaeth yr ARGLWYDD drosoch chwi a'ch hynafiaid.

⁷And now stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah of all the righteous acts of Jehovah which he did to you and to your fathers.

⁸ Wedi i Jacob ddod i lawr i'r Aifft, gwaeddodd eich hynafiaid ar yr ARGLWYDD; anfonodd yntau Moses ac Aaron, a daethant hwy �'ch hynafiaid allan o'r Aifft a'u rhoi i fyw yn y lle hwn.

⁸When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your fathers forth out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

⁹ Ond oherwydd iddynt anghofio'r ARGLWYDD eu Duw, gwerthodd hwy i law Sisera, pennaeth byddin Hasor, ac i'r Philistiaid, ac i frenin Moab; a bu'r rhain yn rhyfela yn eu herbyn.

⁹And they forgot Jehovah their God, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

¹⁰ Yna bu iddynt weiddi ar yr ARGLWYDD a dweud, 'Yr ydym ar fai am inni gefnu ar yr ARGLWYDD ac addoli'r Baalim a'r Astaroth; ond yn awr, achub ni o law ein gelynion, ac fe'th addolwn di.'

¹⁰And they cried to Jehovah and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

¹¹ Anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD Jerwbbaal, Bedan, Jefftha a Samuel, a gwaredodd chwi o law y gelynion o'ch cwmpas, a chawsoch fyw'n ddiogel.

¹¹And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, so that ye dwelt in safety.

¹² Ond pan welsoch Nahas brenin yr Ammoniaid yn dod yn eich erbyn, dywedasoch wrthyf, 'Na, rhaid cael brenin i deyrnasu arnom', er bod yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw yn frenin arnoch.

¹²But when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king.

¹³ Yn awr, dyma'r brenin yr ydych wedi ei ddewis a gofyn amdano; ydyw, y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi brenin i chwi.

¹³And now behold, the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah has set a king over you.

¹⁴ Os byddwch yn ofni'r ARGLWYDD, ac yn ei addoli ef ac yn ufuddhau iddo heb wrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, ac os byddwch chwi a'r brenin a osodir arnoch yn dilyn yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw, popeth yn dda.

¹⁴If ye fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and rebel not against the commandment of Jehovah, then both ye and the king also that reigns over you shall continue following Jehovah your God.

¹⁵ Ond os na wrandewch ar yr ARGLWYDD, ond gwrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, yna bydd llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn eich erbyn chwi a'ch brenin i'ch difa.

¹⁵But if ye will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and if ye rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as against your fathers.

¹⁶ Yn awr, safwch yma a gwelwch y peth mawr hwn y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn ei wneud o flaen eich llygaid.

¹⁶Now therefore stand and see this great thing which Jehovah will do before your eyes.

¹⁷ Onid yw'n adeg y cynhaeaf gwenith? Galwaf ar yr ARGLWYDD i anfon taranau a glaw, a chewch weld a gwybod eich bod wedi cyflawni trosedd mawr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD drwy ofyn am frenin."

¹⁷Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, and he will send thunder and rain; and ye shall perceive and see that your wickedness is great which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah in asking for yourselves a king.

¹⁸ Yna galwodd Samuel ar yr ARGLWYDD, ac anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD daranau a glaw y diwrnod hwnnw, ac ofnodd yr holl bobl yr ARGLWYDD a Samuel.

¹⁸And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.

¹⁹ Dywedodd yr holl bobl wrth Samuel, "Gwedd�a ar yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw ar ein rhan, rhag inni farw, oherwydd yr ydym wedi ychwanegu at ein holl bechodau y drwg hwn o geisio inni frenin."

¹⁹And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves a king.

²⁰ Dywedodd Samuel wrth y bobl, "Peidiwch ag ofni, er i chwi wneud yr holl ddrwg hwn; peidiwch � throi i ffwrdd oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD; addolwch yr ARGLWYDD �'ch holl galon.

²⁰And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: *ye* have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart;

²¹ Peidiwch � throi at wagedd eilunod na fedrant gynorthwyo na gwaredu am mai gwagedd ydynt.

²¹and turn ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

²² Er mwyn ei enw mawr ni fydd yr ARGLWYDD yn gwrthod ei bobl; oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dymuno'ch gwneud yn bobl iddo.

²²For Jehovah will not cast away his people for his great name's sake; because it has pleased Jehovah to make you his people.

²³ A phell y bo oddi wrthyf finnau bechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD trwy roi'r gorau i wedd�o drosoch a'ch hyfforddi yn y ffordd dda ac uniawn.

²³Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you; and I will teach you the good and right way.

²⁴ Yn unig ofnwch yr ARGLWYDD, a gwasanaethwch ef mewn gwirionedd ac �'ch holl galon. Ystyriwch y pethau mawr a wnaeth drosoch.

²⁴Only, fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth, with all your heart; for see how great things he has done for you.

²⁵ Ond os parhewch i wneud drwg, ysgubir chwi a'ch brenin i ffwrdd."

²⁵But if ye do wickedly, ye shall perish, both ye and your king.
