¹ Casglodd y Philistiaid eu holl fyddin i Affec, ac yr oedd Israel yn gwersyllu ger ffynnon yn Jesreel.

¹And the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and Israel encamped by the spring that is in Jizreel.

² Yr oedd tywysogion y Philistiaid yn gorymdeithio fesul cannoedd a miloedd, a Dafydd a'i filwyr yn gorymdeithio yn olaf, gydag Achis.

²And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.

³ Ac meddai capteiniaid y Philistiaid, "Pwy yw'r Hebreaid hyn?" Atebodd Achis hwy: "Dafydd, wrth gwrs, gwas Saul brenin Israel; y mae wedi bod gyda mi am flwyddyn, os nad dwy, ac nid wyf wedi cael dim o'i le ynddo o'r diwrnod y cyrhaeddodd hyd heddiw."

³And the princes of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found nothing in him since the day of his falling away [to me] to this day?

⁴ Ond aeth capteiniaid y Philistiaid yn ddig wrtho a dweud, "Anfon y dyn i ffwrdd; aed yn �l i'r lle a ddarperaist iddo. Ni chaiff ddod i lawr gyda ni i'r frwydr, rhag iddo droi'n wrthwynebydd i ni yn ystod y frwydr. Sut y gallai hwn ennill ffafr ei arglwydd yn well nag � phennau'r milwyr hyn?

⁴But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go again to his place where thou hast appointed him, that he go not down with us to the battle, that in the battle he be not an adversary to us; for wherewith should this [fellow] reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?

⁵ Onid hwn yw Dafydd, yr oeddent yn canu amdano yn y dawnsfeydd: 'Lladdodd Saul ei filoedd, a Dafydd ei fyrddiynau'?"

⁵Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul smote his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

⁶ Galwodd Achis ar Ddafydd a dweud, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, yr wyt yn ddyn cywir ac wedi ymddwyn yn foddhaol yn fy ngolwg tra buost gyda mi yn y gwersyll; nid wyf wedi cael dim o'i le ynot ti o'r dydd y daethost ataf hyd heddiw; ond nid wyt yn dderbyniol yng ngolwg tywysogion y Philistiaid.

⁶And Achish called David, and said to him, [As] Jehovah liveth, thou art upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is acceptable to me; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming to me to this day; but thou art not acceptable to the lords.

⁷ Felly'n awr, dychwel, a dos mewn heddwch, rhag iti dramgwyddo tywysogion y Philistiaid."

⁷And now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.

⁸ Dywedodd Dafydd wrth Achis, "Ond beth a wneuthum? Pa fai a gefaist ti yn dy was, o'r dydd y deuthum atat hyd heddiw, fel na chaf ddod i ryfela yn erbyn gelynion f'arglwydd frenin?"

⁸And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

⁹ Atebodd Achis a dweud wrth Ddafydd, "Gwn dy fod cystal ag angel yn fy ngolwg i, ond y mae tywysogion y Philistiaid wedi dweud na chei di ddod gyda ni i'r frwydr.

⁹And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art acceptable to me, as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

¹⁰ Felly, yn gynnar bore yfory, bydd di, a gweision eraill dy arglwydd a ddaeth gyda thi, yn barod; byddwch yn barod i gychwyn cyn gynted ag y bydd yn olau."

¹⁰And now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee; and rise ye early in the morning, and when ye have daylight, depart.

¹¹ Cododd Dafydd a'i filwyr yn gynnar drannoeth i fynd yn �l i Philistia, ac aeth y Philistiaid ymlaen i Jesreel.

¹¹And David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jizreel.
