¹ Dihangodd Dafydd oddi yno i ogof Adulam, a phan glywodd ei frodyr a'i deulu, aethant yno ato.

¹And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], and they went down thither to him.

² A dyma bawb oedd mewn helbul neu ddyled, neu wedi chwerwi, yn ymgasglu ato. Aeth ef yn ben arnynt, ac yr oedd tua phedwar cant ohonynt gydag ef.

²And every one in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one of embittered spirit collected round him; and he became a captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men.

³ Oddi yno aeth Dafydd i Mispe yn Moab, a dweud wrth frenin Moab, "Gad i'm tad a'm mam ddod atat, nes y byddaf yn gwybod beth a wna Duw imi."

³And David went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth amongst you, till I know what God will do for me.

⁴ Felly gadawodd hwy gyda brenin Moab, a buont yn aros yno cyhyd ag y bu Dafydd yn ei loches.

⁴And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they abode with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.

⁵ Yna dywedodd y proffwyd Gad wrth Ddafydd, "Paid ag aros yn y lloches, dos yn �l i dir Jwda." Felly aeth Dafydd i Goed Hereth.

⁵And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.

⁶ Clywodd Saul fod Dafydd a'r gwu375?r oedd gydag ef wedi dod i'r golwg, ac yr oedd yntau ar y pryd yn Gibea, yn eistedd dan bren tamarisg ar y bryn �'i waywffon yn ei law, a'i weision yn sefyll o'i gwmpas.

⁶And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk upon the height, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing by him.

⁷ Ac meddai Saul wrth y gweision o'i gwmpas, "Gwrandewch hyn, dylwyth Benjamin. A fydd mab Jesse yn rhoi i bob un ohonoch chwi feysydd a gwinllannoedd, a'ch gwneud i gyd yn swyddogion ar filoedd a channoedd?

⁷Then Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye Benjaminites: will the son of Jesse give every one of you also fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,

⁸ Er hynny yr ydych i gyd yn cynllwyn yn f'erbyn. Nid ynganodd neb air wrthyf pan wnaeth fy mab gyfamod � mab Jesse. Nid oedd neb ohonoch yn poeni amdanaf fi, nac yn yngan gair wrthyf pan barodd fy mab i'm gwas godi cynllwyn yn f'erbyn fel y gwna heddiw."

⁸that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that informs me when my son has made [a covenant] with the son of Jesse; and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or informs me that my son has stirred up my servant as a lier-in-wait against me, as at this day?

⁹ Yna atebodd Doeg yr Edomiad, a oedd yn sefyll gyda gweision Saul, a dweud, "Mi welais i fab Jesse'n dod i Nob at Ahimelech fab Ahitub.

⁹Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

¹⁰ Ymofynnodd yntau �'r ARGLWYDD drosto, a rhoi bwyd iddo; rhoes iddo hefyd gleddyf Goliath y Philistiad."

¹⁰And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

¹¹ Anfonodd y brenin am yr offeiriad Ahimelech fab Ahitub a'i deulu i gyd, a oedd yn offeiriaid yn Nob, a daethant oll at y brenin.

¹¹Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them to the king.

¹² Ac meddai Saul, "Gwrando di yn awr, fab Ahitub." Atebodd yntau, "Gwnaf, f'arglwydd."

¹²And Saul said, Hear now, son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

¹³ Yna dywedodd Saul wrtho, "Pam yr ydych wedi cynllwyn yn f'erbyn, ti a mab Jesse, a thithau'n rhoi bwyd a chleddyf iddo, yn ymofyn � Duw drosto, ac yn gadael iddo gynllwyn yn f'erbyn, fel y mae'n gwneud heddiw?"

¹³And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me as a lier-in-wait, as at this day?

¹⁴ Atebodd Ahimelech y brenin a dweud, "Pwy o blith dy holl weision sydd mor deyrngar � Dafydd, yn fab-yng-nghyfraith i'r brenin, ac yn bennaeth dy osgorddlu ac yn uchel ei barch yn dy blas?

¹⁴And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and has access to thy secret council, and is honourable in thy house?

¹⁵ Ai dyna'r tro cyntaf imi ymofyn � Duw drosto? Nage'n wir! Peidied y brenin � chyhuddo ei was, na'r un o'i deulu, oherwydd ni u373?yr dy was ddim am hyn, na bach na mawr."

¹⁵Was it to-day that I began to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king charge anything to his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.

¹⁶ Dywedodd y brenin, "Yr wyt ti, Ahimelech, yn mynd i farw, ie, ti a'th holl deulu."

¹⁶And the king said, Thou shalt certainly die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.

¹⁷ Yna dywedodd y brenin wrth y gosgorddlu oedd yn sefyll yn ei ymyl, "Trowch arnynt a lladdwch offeiriaid yr ARGLWYDD, oherwydd y maent hwythau law yn llaw � Dafydd, am eu bod yn gwybod ei fod ar ffo, ond heb yngan gair wrthyf." Ond ni fynnai gweision y brenin estyn llaw i daro offeiriaid yr ARGLWYDD.

¹⁷And the king said to the couriers that stood about him, Turn and put the priests of Jehovah to death; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not inform me. But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah.

¹⁸ Yna dywedodd y brenin wrth Doeg, "Tro di a tharo'r offeiriaid." Fe droes Doeg a tharo'r offeiriaid; a'r diwrnod hwnnw fe laddodd bump a phedwar ugain o wu375?r yn gwisgo effod liain.

¹⁸And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall on the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell on the priests, and put to death that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod.

¹⁹ Yn Nob hefyd, tref yr offeiriaid, trawodd �'r cleddyf wu375?r a gwragedd, plant a babanod, a hyd yn oed ychen, asynnod a defaid.

¹⁹And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, infants and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

²⁰ Ond dihangodd un mab i Ahimelech fab Ahitub, o'r enw Abiathar; a ffodd at Ddafydd,

²⁰And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

²¹ a dweud wrtho fod Saul wedi lladd offeiriaid yr ARGLWYDD.

²¹And Abiathar informed David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.

²² Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Abiathar, "Mi wyddwn i y diwrnod hwnnw pan oedd Doeg yr Edomiad yno, y byddai'n sicr o ddweud wrth Saul. Myfi sy'n gyfrifol am farwolaeth dy deulu cyfan.

²²And David said to Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul: I am accountable for all the lives of thy father's house.

²³ Aros gyda mi, paid ag ofni; oherwydd yr un sy'n ceisio d'einioes di sy'n ceisio f'einioes innau. Byddi'n ddiogel gyda mi."

²³Abide with me, fear not; for he that seeks my life seeks thy life; for with me thou art in safe keeping.
