¹ Daeth y Siffiaid at Saul i Gibea a dweud, "Onid yw Dafydd yn llechu ym mryn Hachila gyferbyn � Jesimon?"

¹And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, facing the waste?

² Aeth Saul ar unwaith i lawr i ddiffeithwch Siff, a thair mil o wu375?r dewisol Israel gydag ef, i chwilio am Ddafydd yno.

²And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

³ Gwersyllodd Saul ar y briffordd ym mryn Hachila gyferbyn � Jesimon, tra oedd Dafydd yn aros yn yr anialwch.

³And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which faces the waste, by the way side. And David abode in the wilderness; and when he saw that Saul had come after him into the wilderness,

⁴ Pan welodd Dafydd fod Saul yn dod i'r anialwch ar ei �l, anfonodd ysbiwyr a chael sicrwydd fod Saul wedi dod.

⁴David sent out spies, and learned that Saul was certainly come.

⁵ Aeth Dafydd ar unwaith i'r man lle'r oedd Saul yn gwersyllu, a gweld lle'r oedd ef a'i gadfridog Abner fab Ner yn cysgu. Yr oedd Saul yn cysgu yng nghanol y gwersyll, a'r milwyr yn gwersyllu o'i gwmpas.

⁵And David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the wagon-defence, and the people were encamped round about him.

⁶ Troes Dafydd a gofyn i Ahimelech yr Hethiad ac Abisai fab Serfia, brawd Joab, "Pwy a ddaw i lawr gyda mi i'r gwersyll at Saul?" Atebodd Abisai, "Fe ddof fi gyda thi."

⁶And David spake and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

⁷ Aeth Dafydd ac Abisai i blith y milwyr liw nos, a dyna lle'r oedd Saul yn gorwedd ac yn cysgu yn y canol, a'i waywffon wedi ei gwthio i'r ddaear yn ymyl ei ben, ac Abner a'r milwyr yn gorwedd o'i amgylch.

⁷And David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping within the wagon-defence, and his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.

⁸ Dywedodd Abisai wrth Ddafydd, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi dy elyn heddiw yn dy law; gad imi ei drywanu i'r ddaear �'r waywffon ag un ergyd; ni fydd angen ail."

⁸And Abishai said to David, God has delivered thine enemy into thy hand this day; and now let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the ground once, and I will not do it the second time.

⁹ Ond dywedodd Dafydd wrth Abisai, "Paid �'i ladd. Pwy a fedr estyn llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD a bod yn ddieuog?"

⁹And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can stretch forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be guiltless?

¹⁰ Ac ychwanegodd Dafydd, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn sicr o'i daro; un ai fe ddaw ei amser, a bydd farw, neu ynteu fe � i frwydr a cholli ei fywyd.

¹⁰And David said, [As] Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will surely smite him; either his day shall come to die, or he shall descend into battle and perish.

¹¹ Yr ARGLWYDD a'm gwaredo rhag i mi estyn fy llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD. Cymer di y waywffon sydd wrth ei ben, a'i gostrel ddu373?r, ac fe awn."

¹¹Jehovah forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed! But now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

¹² Cymerodd Dafydd y waywffon a'r gostrel ddu373?r oedd yn ymyl pen Saul, ac ymaith � hwy heb i neb weld na gwybod na deffro. Yr oedd pawb yn cysgu, am i'r ARGLWYDD anfon trymgwsg arnynt.

¹²And David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they went away, and no man saw [it], and none knew [it], and none awaked, for they were all asleep; for a deep sleep from Jehovah had fallen upon them.

¹³ Dringodd Dafydd trwy'r bwlch a sefyll draw ar gopa'r mynydd, � chryn bellter rhyngddo a hwy.

¹³And David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off; a great space [being] between them.

¹⁴ Yna gwaeddodd Dafydd ar y milwyr, ac ar Abner fab Ner, a dweud, "Pam nad wyt ti'n ateb, Abner fab Ner?" Atebodd Abner, "Pwy wyt ti, sy'n gweiddi ar y brenin?"

¹⁴And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?

¹⁵ Ac meddai Dafydd wrth Abner, "Onid wyt ti'n ddyn? Pwy sydd debyg i ti yn Israel? Pam ynteu na fyddit wedi gwarchod dy feistr, y brenin, pan ddaeth rhywun i'w ladd?

¹⁵And David said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like to thee in Israel? and why hast thou not guarded thy lord the king? for one of the people came in to destroy the king thy lord.

¹⁶ Nid da yw'r peth hwn a wnaethost; cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, yr ydych yn wir yn haeddu marw am beidio � gwarchod eich meistr, eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD. Edrych yn awr; ple mae gwaywffon y brenin, a'r gostrel ddu373?r oedd wrth ei ben?"

¹⁶This thing is not good which thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not guarded your master, Jehovah's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.

¹⁷ Adnabu Saul lais Dafydd, a dywedodd, "Ai dy lais di ydyw, fy mab Dafydd?" Atebodd Dafydd, "Ie, f'arglwydd frenin."

¹⁷And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

¹⁸ Ychwanegodd, "Pam y mae f'arglwydd yn erlid ei was? Beth a wneuthum, a pha ddrwg sydd ynof?

¹⁸And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?

¹⁹ Gwrandawed f'arglwydd frenin yn awr ar eiriau ei was. Os yr ARGLWYDD sydd wedi dy annog i'm herbyn, derbynied offrwm; ond os bodau meidrol, bydded iddynt fod dan felltith gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, am iddynt fy ngyrru allan heddiw rhag cael fy rhan yn etifeddiaeth yr ARGLWYDD, a dweud, 'Dos, addola dduwiau eraill.'

¹⁹And now, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If Jehovah have moved thee against me, let him accept an oblation; but if the sons of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day from adhering to the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

²⁰ Paid � gadael i'm gwaed ddisgyn i'r ddaear allan o bresenoldeb yr ARGLWYDD; oherwydd fe ddaeth brenin Israel allan i geisio chwannen, fel un yn hela petrisen mynydd."

²⁰And now, let not my blood fall to the earth far from the face of Jehovah; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when they hunt a partridge on the mountains.

²¹ Ac meddai Saul, "Yr wyf ar fai; tyrd yn �l, fy mab Dafydd, oherwydd ni wnaf niwed iti eto, am i'm bywyd fod yn werthfawr yn dy olwg heddiw. B�m yn ynfyd, a chyfeiliornais yn enbyd."

²¹And Saul said, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have acted foolishly, and have erred exceedingly.

²² Yna atebodd Dafydd, "Dyma'r waywffon, O frenin; gad i un o'r llanciau ddod drosodd i'w chymryd.

²²And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear, and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

²³ Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn talu'n �l i bob un am ei gyfiawnder a'i ffyddlondeb; oherwydd fe roddodd yr ARGLWYDD di yn fy llaw heddiw, ond nid oeddwn am estyn fy llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD.

²³And Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for Jehovah gave thee into [my] hand this day, and I would not stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed.

²⁴ Fel y bu dy einioes di yn werthfawr yn fy ngolwg i heddiw, bydded f'einioes innau yn werthfawr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, i'm hachub o bob cyni."

²⁴And behold, as thy life was highly esteemed this day in mine eyes, so let my life be highly esteemed in the eyes of Jehovah, that he may deliver me out of all distress.

²⁵ Dywedodd Saul wrth Ddafydd, "Bendith arnat, fy mab Dafydd; fe wnei di orchestion a llwyddo." Wedi hynny aeth Dafydd i ffwrdd, a dychwelodd Saul adref.

²⁵And Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt certainly do [great things], and shalt certainly prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
