¹ Ar �l marwolaeth Saul dychwelodd Dafydd o daro'r Amaleciaid, ac aros ddeuddydd yn Siclag.

¹And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in Ziklag.

² Ar y trydydd dydd cyrhaeddodd dyn o wersyll Saul a'i ddillad wedi eu rhwygo a phridd ar ei ben. Daeth at Ddafydd, syrthiodd o'i flaen a moesymgrymu.

²And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.

³ Gofynnodd Dafydd iddo, "O ble y daethost?" Atebodd yntau, "Wedi dianc o wersyll Israel yr wyf."

³And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

⁴ Dywedodd Dafydd wrtho, "Dywed wrthyf sut y bu pethau." Adroddodd yntau fel y bu i'r bobl ffoi o'r frwydr, a bod llawer ohonynt wedi syrthio a marw, a bod Saul a'i fab Jonathan hefyd wedi marw.

⁴And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.

⁵ Gofynnodd Dafydd i'r llanc oedd yn adrodd yr hanes wrtho, "Sut y gwyddost ti fod Saul a'i fab Jonathan wedi marw?"

⁵And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?

⁶ Ac meddai'r llanc oedd yn dweud yr hanes wrtho, "Yr oeddwn yn digwydd bod ar Fynydd Gilboa, a dyna lle'r oedd Saul yn pwyso ar ei waywffon, a'r cerbydau a'r marchogion yn cau amdano.

⁶And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

⁷ Wrth iddo droi fe'm gwelodd i, a galw arnaf. 'Dyma fi,' meddwn innau.

⁷And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.

⁸ Gofynnodd i mi, 'Pwy wyt ti?' Atebais innau, 'Amaleciad.'

⁸And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to him, I am an Amalekite.

⁹ Yna dywedodd wrthyf, 'Tyrd yma a lladd fi, oherwydd y mae gwendid wedi cydio ynof, er bod bywyd yn dal ynof.'

⁹He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole in me.

¹⁰ Felly euthum ato a'i ladd, oherwydd gwyddwn na fyddai fyw wedi iddo gwympo. Cymerais y goron oedd ar ei ben a'r freichled oedd am ei fraich, a deuthum � hwy yma at f'arglwydd."

¹⁰So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.

¹¹ Gafaelodd Dafydd yn ei wisg a'i rhwygo, a gwnaeth yr holl ddynion oedd gydag ef yr un modd;

¹¹Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him [did] likewise.

¹² a buont yn galaru, yn wylo ac yn ymprydio hyd yr hwyr dros Saul a'i fab Jonathan, a hefyd dros bobl yr ARGLWYDD a thu375? Israel, am eu bod wedi syrthio drwy'r cleddyf.

¹²And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

¹³ Holodd Dafydd y llanc a ddaeth �'r newydd, "Un o ble wyt ti?" Atebodd yntau, "Mab i Amaleciad a ddaeth yma i fyw wyf fi."

¹³And David said to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.

¹⁴ Ac meddai Dafydd wrtho, "Sut na fyddai arnat ofn estyn dy law i ddistrywio eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD?"

¹⁴And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?

¹⁵ Yna galwodd Dafydd ar un o'r llanciau a dweud, "Tyrd, rho ergyd iddo!" Trawodd yntau ef, a bu farw.

¹⁵Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on him. And he smote him that he died.

¹⁶ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud wrtho, "Bydded dy waed ar dy ben di dy hun; tystiodd dy enau dy hun yn dy erbyn pan ddywedaist, 'Myfi a laddodd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD'."

¹⁶And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.

¹⁷ Canodd Dafydd yr alarnad hon am Saul a'i fab Jonathan,

¹⁷And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son;

¹⁸ a gorchymyn ei dysgu i'r Jwdeaid. Y mae wedi ei hysgrifennu yn Llyfr Jasar:

¹⁸and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: --

¹⁹ "O ardderchowgrwydd Israel, a drywanwyd ar dy uchelfannau! O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn!

¹⁹The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!

²⁰ "Peidiwch �'i adrodd yn Gath, na'i gyhoeddi ar strydoedd Ascalon, rhag i ferched y Philistiaid lawenhau, rhag i ferched y dienwaededig orfoleddu.

²⁰Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

²¹ "O fynyddoedd Gilboa, na foed gwlith na glaw arnoch, chwi feysydd marwolaeth. Canys yno yr halogwyd tarian y cedyrn, tarian Saul heb ei hiro ag olew.

²¹Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not anointed with oil.

²² "Oddi wrth waed lladdedigion, oddi wrth fraster rhai cedyrn, ni throdd bwa Jonathan erioed yn �l; a chleddyf Saul ni ddychwelai'n wag.

²²From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.

²³ "Saul a Jonathan, yr anwylaf a'r hyfrytaf o wu375?r, yn eu bywyd ac yn eu hangau ni wahanwyd hwy; cyflymach nag eryrod oeddent, a chryfach na llewod.

²³Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

²⁴ "O ferched Israel, wylwch am Saul, a fyddai'n eich gwisgo'n foethus mewn ysgarlad, ac yn rhoi gemau aur ar eich gwisg.

²⁴Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

²⁵ "O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn yng nghanol y frwydr! lladdwyd Jonathan ar dy uchelfannau.

²⁵How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.

²⁶ "Gofidus wyf amdanat, fy mrawd Jonathan; buost yn annwyl iawn gennyf; yr oedd dy gariad tuag ataf yn rhyfeddol, y tu hwnt i gariad gwragedd.

²⁶I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.

²⁷ "O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn, ac y difethwyd arfau rhyfel!"

²⁷How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
