¹ Mynegwyd i Ddafydd fod y Philistiaid yn ymladd yn erbyn Ceila, ac yn ysbeilio'r lloriau dyrnu.

¹And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-floors.

² Ymofynnodd Dafydd �'r ARGLWYDD, a oedd i fynd a tharo'r Philistiaid hyn. Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Ddafydd, "Dos a tharo'r Philistiaid, ac achub Ceila."

²And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.

³ Ond dywedodd gwu375?r Dafydd wrtho, "Yr ydym mewn digon o ofn yma yn Jwda; pa faint mwy pan awn i Ceila, yn erbyn byddinoedd y Philistiaid?"

³But David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

⁴ Felly ymofynnodd Dafydd eto �'r ARGLWYDD, ac atebodd yr ARGLWYDD ef, "Dos i lawr i Ceila, oherwydd rhoddaf y Philistiaid yn dy law."

⁴And David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into thy hand.

⁵ Felly fe aeth Dafydd a'i wu375?r i Ceila ac ymladd �'r Philistiaid, a mynd �'u gwartheg ymaith, a gwneud lladdfa fawr yn eu mysg hwy; ac achubodd Dafydd drigolion Ceila.

⁵And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

⁶ Pan ffodd Abiathar fab Ahimelech at Ddafydd i Ceila, daeth �'r effod i lawr gydag ef.

⁶And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.

⁷ A phan fynegwyd i Saul fod Dafydd wedi mynd i Ceila, dywedodd Saul, "Y mae Duw wedi ei roi yn fy llaw, oherwydd y mae wedi cau amdano wrth fynd i ddinas ac iddi byrth a barrau."

⁷And it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. Then Saul said, God has cast him off into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a city that has gates and bars.

⁸ Galwodd Saul yr holl bobl i ryfel, ac i fynd i lawr i Ceila i warchae ar Ddafydd a'i wu375?r.

⁸And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.

⁹ Pan ddeallodd Dafydd fod Saul yn cynllunio drwg yn ei erbyn, dywedodd wrth yr offeiriad Abiathar, "Estyn yr effod."

⁹And when David knew that Saul devised mischief against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod.

¹⁰ Yna dywedodd Dafydd, "O ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, y mae dy was wedi clywed yn bendant fod Saul yn ceisio dod i Ceila i ddinistrio'r dref o'm hachos i.

¹⁰Then said David, Jehovah, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

¹¹ A fydd awdurdodau Ceila yn fy rhoi iddo? A ddaw Saul i lawr fel y clywodd dy was? O ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, rho ateb i'th was." Atebodd yr ARGLWYDD, "Fe ddaw."

¹¹Will the citizens of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down.

¹² Yna gofynnodd Dafydd, "A fydd awdurdodau Ceila yn fy rhoi i a'm gwu375?r yn llaw Saul?" Atebodd yr ARGLWYDD, "Byddant." Yna cododd Dafydd gyda'i wu375?r, tua chwe chant ohonynt, ac aethant o Ceila a symud o le i le.

¹²And David said, Will the citizens of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver [thee] up.

¹³ Pan ddywedwyd wrth Saul fod Dafydd wedi dianc o Ceila, peidiodd � chychwyn allan.

¹³Then David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, and he forbore to go forth.

¹⁴ Tra oedd Dafydd yn byw mewn llochesau yn y diffeithwch ac yn aros yn y mynydd-dir yn niffeithwch Siff, yr oedd Saul yn chwilio amdano trwy'r adeg, ond ni roddodd Duw ef yn ei law.

¹⁴And David abode in the wilderness in strongholds, and abode in the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.

¹⁵ Yr oedd Dafydd yn gweld mai dod allan i geisio'i fywyd yr oedd Saul; felly arhosodd Dafydd yn Hores yn niffeithwch Siff.

¹⁵And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life; and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.

¹⁶ Aeth Jonathan fab Saul draw i Hores at Ddafydd a'i galonogi trwy Dduw

¹⁶And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

¹⁷ a dweud wrtho, "Paid ag ofni; ni ddaw fy nhad Saul o hyd iti; byddi di'n frenin ar Israel a minnau'n ail iti, ac y mae fy nhad Saul yn gwybod hynny'n iawn."

¹⁷And he said to him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; and that also Saul my father knows.

¹⁸ Gwnaethant gyfamod ill dau gerbron yr ARGLWYDD; arhosodd Dafydd yn Hores, ac aeth Jonathan adref.

¹⁸And they two made a covenant before Jehovah; and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.

¹⁹ Aeth pobl Siff at Saul i Gibea a dweud, "Onid yw Dafydd yn ymguddio yn ein hardal, yn llochesau Hores ym mryniau Hachila i'r de o Jesimon?

¹⁹And the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strongholds in the wood, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the waste?

²⁰ Pryd bynnag yr wyt ti'n dymuno, O frenin, tyrd i lawr, a rhown ninnau ef yn llaw'r brenin."

²⁰And now, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and it will be for us to deliver him up into the king's hand.

²¹ Ac meddai Saul, "Bendigedig fyddoch gan yr ARGLWYDD am ichwi drugarhau wrthyf.

²¹And Saul said, Blessed be ye of Jehovah; for ye have compassion upon me.

²² Ewch yn awr a gwneud yn sicr eto; ceisiwch wybod a gwylio'i lwybrau, a phwy a'i gwelodd yno. Dywedir wrthyf ei fod yn un cyfrwys iawn.

²²Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his track is, who has seen him there; for it is told me that he deals very subtilly.

²³ Wedi ichwi weld a gwybod ym mha un o'r holl guddfannau y mae'n ymguddio, dewch yn �l ataf pan fyddwch yn sicr, a dof finnau gyda chwi. Cyhyd �'i fod yn y wlad, fe chwiliaf amdano ym mhob man, ie, trwy holl lwythau Jwda."

²³And see, and ascertain all the lurking-places where he hides himself, and come ye again to me with sure information, that I may go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout the thousands of Judah.

²⁴ Aethant yn �l i Siff cyn i Saul gyrraedd, ac yr oedd Dafydd a'i wu375?r yn niffeithwch Maon, yn yr Araba i'r de o Jesimon.

²⁴And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of the waste.

²⁵ Yna daeth Saul a'i wu375?r i geisio Dafydd, ond dywedwyd wrth Ddafydd, ac aeth yntau i lawr i'r creigiau ac arhosodd yn niffeithwch Maon.

²⁵And Saul and his men went to seek [him]. And they told David; and he came down from the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And Saul heard [that], and he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

²⁶ Clywodd Saul, ac aeth i erlid Dafydd i ddiffeithwch Maon; ac yr oedd ef yn mynd ar hyd un ochr i'r mynydd, a Dafydd a'i wu375?r ar hyd yr ochr arall. Fel yr oedd Dafydd yn brysio i osgoi Saul, a Saul a'i wu375?r yn cau am Ddafydd a'i wu375?r i'w dal,

²⁶And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away from Saul; and Saul and his men sought to surround David and his men to take them.

²⁷ cyrhaeddodd negesydd a dweud wrth Saul, "Tyrd ar unwaith, oherwydd y mae'r Philistiaid wedi ymosod ar y wlad."

²⁷But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee and come; for the Philistines have made a raid against the land.

²⁸ Felly peidiodd Saul ag ymlid Dafydd, ac aeth i wrthwynebu'r Philistiaid.

²⁸And Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.

²⁹ Dyna pam yr enwyd y lle hwnnw Sela Hammalecoth. Aeth Dafydd i fyny oddi yno a byw yn llochesau En-gedi.

²⁹And David went up from thence, and abode in the strongholds of Engedi.
