¹ Bu farw Samuel, a daeth Israel gyfan ynghyd i alaru amdano a'i gladdu yn ei gartref yn Rama. Yna fe aeth Dafydd i ddiffeithwch Maon.

¹And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

² Yn Maon yr oedd dyn yn ffermio yng Ngharmel; yr oedd yn u373?r cyfoethog iawn, a chanddo dair mil o ddefaid a mil o eifr, ac yr oedd wrthi'n cneifio'i ddefaid yng Ngharmel.

²And there was a man at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.

³ Nabal oedd enw'r dyn, ac Abigail oedd enw ei wraig. Yr oedd hi'n ddynes ddeallus a golygus, ond yr oedd y gu373?r � un o lwyth Caleb � yn galed ac anghwrtais.

³And the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite.

⁴ Clywodd Dafydd yn y diffeithwch fod Nabal yn cneifio'i ddefaid,

⁴And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

⁵ ac anfonodd ddeg llanc a dweud wrthynt, "Ewch i fyny i Garmel, a mynd at Nabal a'i gyfarch yn f'enw;

⁵Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

⁶ a dywedwch fel hyn wrth fy mrawd, 'Heddwch i ti ac i'th deulu a'th eiddo i gyd.

⁶And thus shall ye say: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast!

⁷ Clywais dy fod yn cneifio. Bu dy fugeiliaid gyda ni, ac nid ydym wedi eu cam-drin na pheri dim colled iddynt, yr holl adeg y buont yng Ngharmel.

⁷And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while they were in Carmel.

⁸ Gofyn i'th lanciau, ac fe ddywedant wrthyt. Felly rho dderbyniad caredig i'm llanciau innau, oherwydd daethom ar ddiwrnod da; rho'r hyn sydd agosaf at dy law i'th weision ac i'th fab Dafydd.'"

⁸Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David.

⁹ Daeth llanciau Dafydd a dweud y geiriau hyn i gyd yn enw Dafydd.

⁹And David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

¹⁰ Wedi iddynt orffen, atebodd Nabal a dweud wrth weision Dafydd, "Pwy yw Dafydd, a phwy yw mab Jesse? Y mae llawer o weision yn dianc oddi wrth eu meistri y dyddiau hyn.

¹⁰And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.

¹¹ A wyf fi i gymryd fy mara a'm du373?r a'r cig a leddais ar gyfer fy nghneifwyr, a'u rhoi i ddynion na wn o ble y maent?"

¹¹And shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men whom I know not whence they are?

¹² Troes llanciau Dafydd i ffwrdd, a dychwelyd at Ddafydd a dweud hyn i gyd wrtho.

¹²And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those words.

¹³ Dywedodd Dafydd wrth ei ddynion, "Gwregyswch bawb ei gleddyf." Wedi iddynt hwy a Dafydd hefyd wregysu eu cleddyfau, aeth tua phedwar cant ohonynt i fyny ar �l Dafydd, gan adael dau gant gyda'r offer.

¹³And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.

¹⁴ Yr oedd un o'r llanciau wedi dweud wrth Abigail, gwraig Nabal, "Clyw, fe anfonodd Dafydd negeswyr o'r diffeithwch i gyfarch ein meistr, ond fe'u difr�odd.

¹⁴And one of [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them.

¹⁵ Bu'r dynion yn dda iawn wrthym ni, heb ein cam-drin na pheri dim colled inni yr holl adeg y buom yn ymdroi gyda hwy pan oeddem yn y maes.

¹⁵And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields.

¹⁶ Buont yn fur inni, nos a dydd, yr holl adeg y buom yn bugeilio'r praidd yn eu hymyl.

¹⁶They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding the sheep.

¹⁷ Ystyria'n awr ac edrych beth y gelli ei wneud, oherwydd y mae drwg wedi ei bennu i'n meistr ac yn erbyn ei deulu i gyd, ond y mae ef yn ormod o ddihiryn i neb ddweud dim wrtho."

¹⁷And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot speak to him.

¹⁸ Brysiodd Abigail a chymryd dau gan torth o fara a dwy botel o win, pum dafad wedi eu paratoi a phum hobaid o greision, a hefyd can swp o rawnwin a dau gant o ffigys. Llwythodd hwy ar asynnod,

¹⁸And Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, and laid them on asses.

¹⁹ a dywedodd wrth ei gweision, "Ewch o'm blaen; byddaf finnau'n dod ar eich �l." Ond ni ddywedodd ddim wrth ei gu373?r Nabal.

¹⁹And she said to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

²⁰ Fel yr oedd hi ar gefn ei hasyn yn dod i lawr llechwedd y mynydd, yr oedd Dafydd a'i wu375?r yn dod i lawr tuag ati, a chyfarfu � hwy.

²⁰And as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to her; and she met them.

²¹ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud, "Y mae'n amlwg mai'n ofer y b�m yn gwarchod holl eiddo hwn yn y diffeithwch, heb iddo golli dim o'r cwbl oedd ganddo; y mae wedi talu imi ddrwg am dda.

²¹Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good.

²² Gwnaed Duw fel hyn i mi, a rhagor, os gadawaf ar �l erbyn y bore un gwryw o'r rhai sy'n perthyn iddo."

²²So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.

²³ Pan welodd Abigail Ddafydd, brysiodd i ddisgyn oddi ar yr asyn, ac ymgrymodd ar ei hwyneb a phlygu i'r llawr o flaen Dafydd.

²³And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

²⁴ Wedi iddi syrthio wrth ei draed, dywedodd, "Arnaf fi, syr, y bydded y bai; gad imi egluro'n awr, a gwrando dithau ar eiriau dy wasanaethferch.

²⁴and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.

²⁵ Paid � chymryd sylw o'r dihiryn yma, Nabal. Y mae yr un fath �'i enw: Nabal, sef Ynfyd, yw ei enw, ac ynfyd yw ei natur. Ni welais i, dy wasanaethferch, mo'r llanciau a anfonaist ti, syr.

²⁵Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

²⁶ Felly'n awr, syr, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, a thithau hefyd, gan i'r ARGLWYDD dy atal rhag dod i dywallt gwaed a dial drosot dy hun, bydded dy elynion a'r rhai sy'n ceisio drwg iti, syr, fel Nabal.

²⁶And now, my lord, [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

²⁷ Yn awr, daeth dy wasanaethferch �'r rhodd hon iti, syr, i'w rhoi i'r llanciau sy'n dy ganlyn.

²⁷And now this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow my lord.

²⁸ Maddau gamwri dy wasanaethferch, oherwydd yn sicr bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn creu olyniaeth sicr i ti, syr, am dy fod yn ymladd brwydrau'r ARGLWYDD; a byth ni cheir dim bai ynot.

²⁸I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days.

²⁹ Os bydd unrhyw ddyn yn codi i'th erlid ac i geisio dy fywyd, bydd dy fywyd di, syr, wedi ei rwymo yn rhwymyn bywyd gyda'r ARGLWYDD dy Dduw; ond bydd bywyd dy elynion yn cael ei hyrddio fel carreg o ffon dafl.

²⁹And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the sling.

³⁰ A phan fydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi gwneud daioni i ti, syr, yn �l y cyfan a addawodd amdanat, ac wedi dy osod yn arweinydd dros Israel,

³⁰And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel,

³¹ ni fydd hyn yn ofid nac yn boen cydwybod iti, sef dy fod wedi tywallt gwaed heb achos i ddial drosot dy hun. A phan fydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi bod yn dda wrthyt ti, syr, cofia dy wasanaethferch."

³¹that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

³² Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Abigail, "Bendigedig fyddo'r ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, am iddo dy anfon di heddiw i'm cyfarfod.

³²And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me.

³³ Bendith ar dy gyngor, ac arnat tithau, am iti fy atal heddiw rhag dod i dywallt gwaed a dial drosof fy hun.

³³And blessed be thy discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

³⁴ Yn wir iti, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, yn fyw, yr un a'm hataliodd rhag dy ddrygu, oni bai dy fod wedi brysio i ddod i'm cyfarfod, ni fyddai'r un gwryw ar �l gan Nabal erbyn y bore."

³⁴But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.

³⁵ Derbyniodd Dafydd o'i llaw yr hyn a ddygodd iddo, a dywedodd wrthi, "Dos adref mewn heddwch; edrych, yr wyf wedi gwrando arnat a chaniat�u dy gais."

³⁵So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

³⁶ Pan ddaeth Abigail yn �l at Nabal, yr oedd ganddo wledd yn ei du375? fel gwledd brenin. Am fod calon Nabal yn llawen, ac yntau'n feddw iawn, ni ddywedodd hi wrtho yr un gair, bach na mawr, hyd y bore.

³⁶And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

³⁷ Trannoeth, wedi i Nabal sobri, dywedodd ei wraig yr hanes wrtho, ac aeth ei galon yn farw o'i fewn ac aeth yntau fel carreg.

³⁷And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.

³⁸ Ymhen tua deg diwrnod, trawodd yr ARGLWYDD Nabal a bu farw.

³⁸And it came to pass in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and he died.

³⁹ Pan glywodd Dafydd fod Nabal wedi marw, dywedodd, "Bendigedig fyddo'r ARGLWYDD, sydd wedi dial drosof am y sarhad gan Nabal; y mae wedi atal ei was rhag gwneud camwedd, ac wedi talu'r pwyth yn �l i Nabal." Yna fe anfonodd Dafydd, a chynnig am Abigail i'w chymryd yn wraig iddo'i hun.

³⁹And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife.

⁴⁰ Daeth gweision Dafydd i Garmel at Abigail a dweud wrthi, "Y mae Dafydd wedi'n hanfon ni atat i'th gymryd yn wraig iddo."

⁴⁰And the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife.

⁴¹ Ar unwaith ymgrymodd hithau i'r llawr a dweud, "Dyma fi, yn barod i olchi traed gweision f'arglwydd fel caethferch."

⁴¹And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

⁴² Parat�dd Abigail ar unwaith i fynd, a marchogodd ar gefn asyn, gyda phump o'i morynion i'w chanlyn, a dilyn negeswyr Dafydd, a daeth yn wraig iddo.

⁴²And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

⁴³ Priododd Dafydd hefyd Ahinoam o Jesreel, a bu'r ddwy yn wragedd iddo.

⁴³David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.

⁴⁴ Yr oedd Saul wedi rhoi ei ferch Michal, a fu'n wraig i Ddafydd, i Palti fab Lais, a oedd o Galim.

⁴⁴But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
