¹ Unwaith eto gwnaeth yr Israeliaid yr hyn oedd ddrwg yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD hwy yn llaw'r Philistiaid am ddeugain mlynedd.

¹And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

² Yr oedd rhyw ddyn o'r enw Manoa o Sora, o lwyth Dan, ac yr oedd ei wraig yn ddi-blant, heb eni yr un plentyn.

²And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear.

³ Ymddangosodd angel yr ARGLWYDD i'r wraig a dweud wrthi, "Dyma ti yn ddi-blant, heb eni plentyn, ond byddi'n beichiogi ac yn geni mab.

³And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.

⁴ Felly, gwylia rhag yfed gwin na diod gadarn, a phaid � bwyta dim aflan,

⁴And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.

⁵ gan dy fod yn mynd i feichiogi a geni mab; ac nid yw ellyn i gyffwrdd �'i ben, oherwydd y mae'r bachgen i fod yn Nasaread i Dduw o'r groth. Ef fydd yn dechrau gwaredu Israel o law'r Philistiaid."

⁵For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

⁶ Aeth y wraig at ei gu373?r a dweud, "Daeth gu373?r Duw ataf, a'i wedd fel angel Duw, yn frawychus iawn; ni ofynnais iddo o ble'r oedd, ac ni ddywedodd ei enw wrthyf.

⁶And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I did not ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name.

⁷ Fe ddywedodd wrthyf, 'Byddi'n beichiogi ac yn geni mab; felly paid ag yfed na gwin na diod gadarn, na bwyta dim aflan, oherwydd bydd y bachgen yn Nasaread i Dduw o'r groth hyd ddydd ei farw.'"

⁷And he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son; and now drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not anything unclean; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb to the day of his death.

⁸ Gwedd�odd Manoa ar yr ARGLWYDD a dweud, "O Arglwydd, os gweli'n dda, gad i'r gu373?r Duw a anfonaist ddod yn �l atom i'n cyfarwyddo beth i'w wneud i'r bachgen a enir."

⁸Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah Lord! let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, I pray thee, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

⁹ Gwrandawodd Duw ar gais Manoa, a daeth angel Duw eto at y wraig, pan oedd hi'n eistedd allan yn y maes, a'i gu373?r Manoa heb fod gyda hi.

⁹And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman whilst she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.

¹⁰ Rhedodd hithau ar unwaith a dweud wrth ei gu373?r, "Y mae'r dyn a ddaeth ataf y diwrnod hwnnw wedi ymddangos eto."

¹⁰Then the woman hasted and ran, and informed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me that day.

¹¹ Cododd Manoa a dilynodd ei wraig at y dyn a gofyn iddo, "Ai ti yw'r gu373?r a fu'n siarad gyda'm gwraig?" Ac meddai yntau, "Ie."

¹¹And Manoah rose up and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I am.

¹² Gofynnodd Manoa iddo, "Pan wireddir dy air, sut fachgen fydd ef, a beth fydd ei waith?"

¹²And Manoah said, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing?

¹³ Dywedodd angel yr ARGLWYDD wrth Manoa, "Rhaid i'th wraig ofalu am bopeth a ddywedais wrthi;

¹³And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware:

¹⁴ nid yw hi i fwyta dim a ddaw o'r winwydden, nac i yfed na gwin na diod gadarn, na bwyta dim aflan.

¹⁴she shall not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither shall she drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean: all that I commanded her shall she observe.

¹⁵ Y mae i gadw'r cwbl a orchmynnais iddi." Yna dywedodd Manoa wrth angel yr ARGLWYDD, "Yr ydym am dy gadw yma nes y byddwn wedi paratoi myn gafr ar dy gyfer."

¹⁵And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, and we will make ready a kid of the goats for thee.

¹⁶ Ond atebodd angel yr ARGLWYDD ef, "Pe bait yn fy nghadw yma, ni fyddwn yn bwyta dy fwyd, ond os wyt am offrymu poethoffrwm, offryma ef i'r ARGLWYDD." Ni wyddai Manoa mai angel yr ARGLWYDD ydoedd,

¹⁶And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou shalt offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the Angel of Jehovah.

¹⁷ a gofynnodd iddo, "Beth yw d'enw, inni gael dy anrhydeddu pan wireddir dy air?"

¹⁷And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that when thy word cometh to pass we may do thee honour?

¹⁸ Atebodd angel yr ARGLWYDD, "Pam yr wyt ti'n holi fel hyn ynghylch fy enw? Y mae'n rhyfeddol!"

¹⁸And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

¹⁹ Yna cymerodd Manoa'r myn gafr a'r bwydoffrwm, a'u hoffrymu i'r ARGLWYDD ar y graig, a digwyddodd rhyfeddod tra oedd Manoa a'i wraig yn edrych.

¹⁹Then Manoah took the kid and the oblation, and offered it up to Jehovah upon the rock. And he did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.

²⁰ Fel yr oedd y fflam yn codi oddi ar yr allor i'r awyr, esgynnodd angel yr ARGLWYDD yn fflam yr allor. Yr oedd Manoa a'i wraig yn edrych, a syrthiasant ar eu hwynebau ar lawr.

²⁰And it came to pass, as the flame went up from off the altar towards the heavens, that the Angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on, and fell on their faces to the ground.

²¹ Nid ymddangosodd angel yr ARGLWYDD iddynt mwyach, a sylweddolodd Manoa mai angel yr ARGLWYDD oedd.

²¹And the Angel of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that it was the Angel of Jehovah.

²² Yna dywedodd Manoa wrth ei wraig, "Yr ydym yn sicr o farw am inni weld Duw."

²²And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

²³ Ond meddai hi wrtho, "Pe byddai'r ARGLWYDD wedi dymuno ein lladd, ni fyddai wedi derbyn poethoffrwm a bwydoffrwm o'n llaw, na dangos yr holl bethau hyn i ni, na pheri inni glywed pethau fel hyn yn awr."

²³But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and an oblation at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would he at this time have told us [such things] as these.

²⁴ Wedi i'r wraig eni mab, galwodd ef Samson; tyfodd y bachgen dan fendith yr ARGLWYDD,

²⁴And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.

²⁵ a dechreuodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ei gynhyrfu yn Mahane-dan, rhwng Sora ac Estaol.

²⁵And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.
