¹ Un diwrnod, heb yngan gair wrth ei dad, dywedodd Jonathan fab Saul wrth y gwas oedd yn cludo'i arfau, "Tyrd, awn drosodd at wylwyr y Philistiaid sydd acw gyferbyn � ni."

¹Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison which is on the other side. But he did not tell his father.

² Yr oedd Saul yn aros yng nghwr Gibea, dan y pren pomgranad sydd yn Migron, a thua chwe chant o bobl gydag ef;

²And Saul abode at the extreme end of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which [was] in Migron; and the people that were with him were about six hundred men.

³ Ahia, mab Ahitub brawd Ichabod, fab Phinees, fab Eli, offeiriad yr ARGLWYDD yn Seilo, oedd yn cario'r effod. Ni wyddai'r bobl fod Jonathan wedi mynd.

³(And Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, Jehovah's priest in Shiloh, wore the ephod.) And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

⁴ Yn y bwlch lle'r oedd Jonathan yn ceisio croesi tuag at wylwyr y Philistiaid yr oedd clogwyn o graig ar y naill ochr a'r llall; Boses oedd enw'r naill a Senne oedd enw'r llall.

⁴Now between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison there was a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side; and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

⁵ Yr oedd un clogwyn yn taflu allan i'r gogledd ar ochr Michmas, a'r llall i'r de ar ochr Geba.

⁵The one crag [formed] a pillar on the north opposite to Michmash, and the other on the south opposite to Geba.

⁶ Dywedodd Jonathan wrth y gwas oedd yn cludo'i arfau, "Tyrd, awn drosodd at y gwylwyr dienwaededig acw; efallai y bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn gweithio o'n plaid, oherwydd nid oes dim i rwystro'r ARGLWYDD rhag gwaredu trwy lawer neu drwy ychydig."

⁶And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: perhaps Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.

⁷ Dywedodd cludydd ei arfau wrtho, "Gwna beth bynnag sydd yn dy fryd; dygna arni; rwyf gyda thi, galon wrth galon."

⁷And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart; turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

⁸ Dywedodd Jonathan, "Edrych yma, fe awn drosodd at y dynion a'n dangos ein hunain iddynt.

⁸Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will shew ourselves to them.

⁹ Os dywedant wrthym, 'Arhoswch lle'r ydych nes y byddwn wedi dod atoch', fe arhoswn lle byddwn heb fynd atynt.

⁹If they say thus to us, Stand still until we come to you, then we will stay in our place, and will not go up to them.

¹⁰ Ond os dywedant, 'Dewch i fyny atom', yna awn i fyny, oherwydd bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn eu rhoi yn ein llaw; a bydd hyn yn arwydd inni."

¹⁰And if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up; for Jehovah has given them into our hand; and this shall be the sign to us.

¹¹ Dangosodd y ddau ohonynt eu hunain i wylwyr y Philistiaid, a dywedodd y Philistiaid, "Dyma Hebreaid yn dod allan o'r tyllau lle buont yn cuddio."

¹¹And both of them shewed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

¹² A gwaeddodd dynion yr wyliadwriaeth ar Jonathan a'i gludydd arfau, a dweud, "Dewch i fyny atom, i ni gael dangos rhywbeth i chwi." Dywedodd Jonathan wrth ei gludydd arfau, "Tyrd i fyny ar f'�l i, oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi eu rhoi yn llaw Israel."

¹²And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you something. And Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.

¹³ Dringodd Jonathan i fyny ar ei ddwylo a'i draed, gyda'i gludydd arfau ar ei �l. Cwympodd y gwylwyr o flaen Jonathan, a daeth ei gludydd arfau ar ei �l i'w dienyddio.

¹³And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour-bearer slew after him.

¹⁴ Y tro cyntaf hwn, lladdodd Jonathan a'i gludydd arfau tuag ugain o ddynion o fewn tua hanner cwys cae.

¹⁴And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer wrought was about twenty men, as it were on the half-furrow of an acre of land.

¹⁵ Cododd braw drwy'r gwersyll a'r maes, a brawychwyd holl bobl yr wyliadwriaeth, a'r rheibwyr hefyd, nes bod y wlad yn crynu gan arswyd.

¹⁵And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the ravagers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked; for it was a trembling [from] God.

¹⁶ Yna gwelodd ysbiwyr Saul oedd yn Gibea Benjamin fod y gwersyll yn rhuthro yma ac acw mewn anhrefn.

¹⁶And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on slaying one another.

¹⁷ Dywedodd Saul wrth y bobl oedd gydag ef, "Galwch y rhestr i weld pwy sydd wedi mynd o'n plith."

¹⁷Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone from us. And they mustered, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not there.

¹⁸ Galwyd y rhestr, a chael nad oedd Jonathan na'i gludydd arfau yno. Yna dywedodd Saul wrth Ahia, "Tyrd �'r effod." Oherwydd yr adeg honno ef oedd yn cludo'r effod o flaen Israel.

¹⁸And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

¹⁹ Tra oedd Saul yn siarad �'r offeiriad, cynyddodd yr anhrefn fwyfwy yng ngwersyll y Philistiaid, a dywedodd Saul wrth yr offeiriad, "Atal dy law."

¹⁹And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

²⁰ Galwodd Saul yr holl bobl oedd gydag ef, ac aethant i'r frwydr; yno yr oedd pob un �'i gleddyf yn erbyn ei gyfaill, mewn anhrefn llwyr.

²⁰And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, a very great confusion.

²¹ A dyma'r Hebreaid oedd gynt ar ochr y Philistiaid, ac wedi dod i fyny i'r gwersyll gyda hwy, yn troi ac yn ochri gyda'r Israeliaid oedd gyda Saul a Jonathan.

²¹And there were Hebrews with the Philistines before that time, who had gone up with them into the camp round about; and they also [turned] to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

²² A phan glywodd yr Israeliaid oedd yn llechu yn ucheldir Effraim fod y Philistiaid ar ffo, dyna hwythau hefyd yn ymuno i'w hymlid.

²²And all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim heard that the Philistines fled, and they also followed hard after them in the battle.

²³ Y dydd hwnnw gwaredodd yr ARGLWYDD Israel, ac ymledodd y frwydr tu hwnt i Beth-afen.

²³And Jehovah saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over beyond Beth-Aven.

²⁴ Ond aeth yn gyfyng ar yr Israeliaid y diwrnod hwnnw, oherwydd i Saul dynghedu'r bobl a dweud, "Melltigedig fyddo'r un sy'n bwyta tamaid cyn yr hwyr! Yr wyf am ddial ar fy ngelynion." Ac ni phrofodd yr un o'r bobl damaid.

²⁴But the men of Israel were distressed that day. Now Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food until evening, and [until] I am avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

²⁵ Daethant oll i goedwig lle'r oedd m�l gwyllt;

²⁵And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey on the ground.

²⁶ a phan ddaethant yno a gweld llif o f�l, nid estynnodd neb ei law at ei geg, am fod y bobl yn ofni'r llw.

²⁶And the people had come into the wood, and behold, the honey flowed; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

²⁷ Nid oedd Jonathan wedi clywed ei dad yn gwneud i'r bobl gymryd y llw, ac estynnodd y ffon oedd yn ei law a tharo'i blaen yn y diliau m�l, ac yna'i chodi at ei geg; a gloywodd ei lygaid.

²⁷But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he put forth the end of his staff which was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became bright.

²⁸ Yna dywedodd un o'r bobl wrtho, "Y mae dy dad wedi gosod llw caeth ar y bobl, ac wedi dweud, 'Melltigedig yw pob un sy'n bwyta tamaid heddiw'. Ac yr oedd y bobl yn lluddedig."

²⁸Then answered one of the people and said, Thy father strictly adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day; and the people are faint.

²⁹ Atebodd Jonathan, "Y mae fy nhad wedi gwneud drwg i'r wlad; edrychwch fel y gloywodd fy llygaid pan brofais fymryn o'r m�l hwn.

²⁹And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, that mine eyes are bright, because I tasted a little of this honey.

³⁰ Yn wir, pe bai'r bobl wedi cael rhyddid i fwyta heddiw o ysbail eu gelynion, oni fyddai'r lladdfa ymysg y Philistiaid yn drymach?"

³⁰How much more, if the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not now have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

³¹ Y diwrnod hwnnw trawyd y Philistiaid bob cam o Michmas i Ajalon, er bod y bobl wedi blino'n llwyr.

³¹And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon; and the people were very faint.

³² Yna rhuthrodd y bobl ar yr ysbail a chymryd defaid ac ychen a lloi, a'u lladd ar y ddaear, a'u bwyta heb eu gwaedu.

³²And the people fell on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate [them] with the blood.

³³ Pan ddywedwyd wrth Saul, "Edrych, y mae'r bobl yn pechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD wrth fwyta cig heb ei waedu", dywedodd yntau, "Yr ydych wedi troseddu; rhowliwch yma garreg fawr ar unwaith."

³³And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have acted perversely: roll me now a great stone.

³⁴ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Ewch ar frys trwy ganol y bobl a dywedwch wrthynt, 'Doed pob un �'i ych neu ei ddafad ataf fi, a'u lladd yma a'u bwyta, rhag i chwi bechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD trwy fwyta cig heb ei waedu'." Daeth pob un o'r bobl �'i ych gydag ef y noson honno, i'w ladd yno.

³⁴And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring near to me every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slaughter them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slaughtered [them] there.

³⁵ Felly y cododd Saul allor i'r ARGLWYDD, a honno oedd yr allor gyntaf iddo'i chodi i'r ARGLWYDD.

³⁵And Saul built an altar to Jehovah: this was the first altar he built to Jehovah.

³⁶ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Awn i lawr ar �l y Philistiaid liw nos a'u hysbeilio hyd y bore, heb adael yr un ohonynt ar �l." Dywedodd y bobl, "Gwna beth bynnag a fynni." Ond dywedodd yr offeiriad, "Gadewch inni agos�u yma at Dduw."

³⁶And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever is good in thy sight. Then said the priest, Let us come near hither to God.

³⁷ Gofynnodd Saul i Dduw, "Os af i lawr ar �l y Philistiaid, a roi di hwy yn llaw Israel?" Ond ni chafodd ateb y diwrnod hwnnw.

³⁷And Saul inquired of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.

³⁸ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Dewch yma, holl bennau-teuluoedd y bobl, a chwiliwch i gael gweld ymhle mae'r pechod hwn heddiw.

³⁸And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the heads of the people; and know and see wherein this sin has been this day.

³⁹ Oherwydd, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, yr un a waredodd Israel, hyd yn oed pe byddai yn fy mab Jonathan, byddai raid iddo farw." Ond ni ddywedodd yr un o'r bobl wrtho.

³⁹For, [as] Jehovah liveth, who has saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall certainly die. And no one answered him among all the people.

⁴⁰ Yna dywedodd wrth yr holl Israeliaid, "Safwch chwi ar un ochr, a minnau a'm mab Jonathan ar yr ochr arall." A dywedodd y bobl wrth Saul, "Gwna fel y gweli'n dda."

⁴⁰Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in thy sight.

⁴¹ Dywedodd Saul wrth yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, "Pam nad atebaist dy was heddiw? Os yw'r camwedd hwn ynof fi neu yn fy mab Jonathan, O ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, rho Wrim; ond os yw'r camwedd hwn yn dy bobl Israel, rho Twmim." Daliwyd Jonathan a Saul, ac aeth Israel yn rhydd.

⁴¹And Saul said to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give a perfect [testimony]! And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.

⁴² Dywedodd Saul, "Bwriwch goelbren rhyngof fi a'm mab Jonathan." A daliwyd Jonathan.

⁴²And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

⁴³ Yna dywedodd Saul wrth Jonathan, "Dywed wrthyf beth a wnaethost." Eglurodd Jonathan iddo, a dweud, "Dim ond profi mymryn o f�l ar flaen y ffon oedd yn fy llaw. Dyma fi, rwy'n barod i farw."

⁴³And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him and said, With the end of the staff which is in my hand I tasted a little honey, [and] behold, I must die!

⁴⁴ Atebodd Saul, "Fel hyn y gwna Duw i mi, a rhagor, os na fydd Jonathan farw."

⁴⁴And Saul said, God do so [to me] and more also; thou shalt certainly die, Jonathan.

⁴⁵ Ond dyma'r bobl yn dweud wrth Saul, "A gaiff Jonathan farw, ac yntau wedi ennill y fuddugoliaeth fawr hon i Israel? Pell y bo! Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, ni chaiff blewyn o wallt ei ben syrthio i'r llawr. Gyda Duw y gweithiodd ef y diwrnod hwn." Prynodd y bobl ryddid Jonathan, ac ni fu farw.

⁴⁵And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! [as] Jehovah liveth, there shall not a hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not.

⁴⁶ Dychwelodd Saul o ymlid y Philistiaid, ac aeth y Philistiaid adref.

⁴⁶And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

⁴⁷ Wedi i Saul ennill y frenhiniaeth ar Israel, ymladdodd �'i holl elynion oddi amgylch � Moab, yr Ammoniaid, Edom, brenhinoedd Soba a'r Philistiaid � a'u darostwng ble bynnag yr �i.

⁴⁷And Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he discomfited [them].

⁴⁸ Gweithredodd yn ddewr, trawodd yr Amaleciaid, a rhyddhaodd Israel o law eu gormeswyr.

⁴⁸And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of their spoilers.

⁴⁹ Jonathan, Isfi a Malcisua oedd meibion Saul. Enw'r hynaf o'i ddwy ferch oedd Merab, ac enw'r ieuengaf Michal.

⁴⁹And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malchi-shua. And the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

⁵⁰ Ahinoam ferch Ahimaas oedd gwraig Saul, ac Abner fab Ner, ewythr Saul, oedd pennaeth ei lu.

⁵⁰And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

⁵¹ Yr oedd Cis tad Saul a Ner tad Abner yn feibion i Abiel.

⁵¹And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner were sons of Abiel.

⁵² Bu rhyfel caled yn erbyn y Philistiaid holl ddyddiau Saul; ac os gwelai Saul u373?r cryf a dewr, fe'i cymerai ato.

⁵²And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.
