¹ Pan ddaeth Saul yn �l o ymlid y Philistiaid, dywedwyd wrtho fod Dafydd yn niffeithwch En-gedi.

¹And it came to pass when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.

² Felly cymerodd Saul dair mil o wu375?r wedi eu dewis allan o Israel gyfan, a mynd i chwilio am Ddafydd a'i wu375?r ar hyd copa creigiau'r geifr gwylltion.

²And Saul took three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.

³ Pan ddaeth at gorlannau'r defaid ar y ffordd, yr oedd yno ogof, ac aeth Saul i mewn i esmwytho'i gorff; ond yr oedd Dafydd a'i wu375?r yno ym mhen draw'r ogof.

³And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet; and David and his men were abiding in the recesses of the cave.

⁴ Ac meddai gwu375?r Dafydd wrtho, "Dyma'r diwrnod y dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrthyt y byddai'n rhoi dy elyn yn dy law, a chei wneud iddo beth a fynni." Cododd Dafydd yn ddistaw a thorrodd gwr y fantell oedd am Saul.

⁴And David's men said to him, Behold the day of which Jehovah said to thee, Behold, I will give thine enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. And David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe secretly.

⁵ Ond wedyn pigodd cydwybod Dafydd ef, am iddo dorri cwr mantell Saul,

⁵And it came to pass afterwards that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

⁶ a dywedodd wrth ei ddynion, "Yr ARGLWYDD a'm gwared rhag imi wneud y fath beth i'm harglwydd, eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD, ac estyn llaw yn ei erbyn, oherwydd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD yw."

⁶And he said to his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Jehovah's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.

⁷ Ataliodd Dafydd ei wu375?r �'r geiriau hyn rhag iddynt ymosod ar Saul.

⁷And David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way.

⁸ Pan ymadawodd Saul �'r ogof a mynd i'w daith, aeth Dafydd allan o'r ogof a galw ar ei �l a dweud, "F'arglwydd frenin!" A phan edrychodd Saul yn �l, plygodd Dafydd �'i wyneb at y llawr ac ymgrymu.

⁸David also arose afterwards, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king! And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

⁹ Yna dywedodd Dafydd wrth Saul, "Pam y gwrandewaist ar eiriau'r dynion sy'n dweud fod Dafydd yn ceisio niwed i ti?

⁹And David said to Saul, Why dost thou listen to words of men, saying, Behold, David seeks thy hurt?

¹⁰ Heddiw fe weli �'th lygaid dy hun i'r ARGLWYDD dy roi yn fy llaw heddiw yn yr ogof; a dywedwyd wrthyf am dy ladd, ond trugarheais wrthyt a dweud, 'Nid estynnaf fy llaw yn erbyn f'arglwydd, oherwydd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD yw.'

¹⁰Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that Jehovah had given thee this day into my hand in the cave; and they bade me kill thee; but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.

¹¹ Edrych, fy nhad, ie, edrych, dyma gwr dy fantell yn fy llaw. Gan imi dorri cwr dy fantell heb dy ladd, fe ddylit wybod a gweld nad oedd dim malais na gwrthryfel ynof. Ni wneuthum gam � thi, ond eto yr wyt yn ymlid ar fy �l i'm dal.

¹¹And see, my father, yes, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand. For in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou liest in wait for my life to take it.

¹² Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD farnu rhyngom a dial arnat, ond ni fydd fy llaw i arnat.

¹²Jehovah judge between me and thee, and Jehovah avenge me of thee; but my hand shall not be upon thee.

¹³ Fel y dywed yr hen ddihareb, 'O'r drygionus y daw drygioni.' Ond ni fydd fy llaw i arnat.

¹³As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked; but my hand shall not be upon thee.

¹⁴ Ar �l pwy yr aeth brenin Israel? Pwy wyt ti'n ei ymlid? Ci marw! Chwannen!

¹⁴After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a single flea.

¹⁵ Fe gaiff yr ARGLWYDD fod yn ddyfarnwr a barnu rhyngom a'n gilydd; caiff ef chwilio a dadlau f'achos a'm rhyddhau o'th law."

¹⁵Jehovah therefore shall be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and do me justice [in delivering me] out of thy hand.

¹⁶ Wedi i Ddafydd orffen llefaru fel hyn wrth Saul, meddai Saul: "Dafydd, fy mab, ai dy lais di yw hwn?" Yna fe dorrodd allan i wylo.

¹⁶And as soon as David had ended speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

¹⁷ Ac meddai wrth Ddafydd, "Yr wyt ti yn fwy cyfiawn na mi, oherwydd yr wyt ti wedi talu da i mi, a minnau wedi talu drwg i ti.

¹⁷And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.

¹⁸ Ac yr wyt wedi dangos mor dda fuost tuag ataf heddiw, pan oedd yr ARGLWYDD wedi fy rhoi yn dy law, a thithau'n ymatal rhag fy lladd.

¹⁸And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me, forasmuch as when Jehovah had delivered me up into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.

¹⁹ Pan fydd rhywun yn dod ar warthaf ei elyn, a yw'n ei adael yn rhydd? Bydded i'r ARGLWYDD dalu'n �l iti'n hael am yr hyn a wnaethost imi heddiw.

¹⁹For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore Jehovah reward thee good for that thou hast done to me this day.

²⁰ Mi wn, bellach, mai ti sydd i fod yn frenin, ac y bydd teyrnas Israel yn llwyddo danat;

²⁰And now behold, I know that thou shalt certainly be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.

²¹ tynga imi'n awr yn enw'r ARGLWYDD, na fyddi'n difa fy hil ar fy �l nac yn dileu fy enw o'm teulu."

²¹Swear now therefore to me by Jehovah, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.

²² Tyngodd Dafydd i Saul. Yna aeth Saul adref, a Dafydd a'i wu375?r i fyny'n �l i'r lloches.

²²And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; and David and his men went up to the stronghold.
