¹ Aeth Samson i Timna, ac yno sylwodd ar un o ferched y Philistiaid.

¹And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.

² Pan ddychwelodd, dywedodd wrth ei dad a'i fam, "Yr wyf wedi gweld un o ferched y Philistiaid yn Timna; cymerwch honno'n wraig imi."

²And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her for me as wife.

³ Ac meddai ei dad a'i fam wrtho, "Onid oes gwraig iti ymhlith merched dy gymrodyr a'th holl geraint? Pam yr ei i geisio gwraig o blith y Philistiaid dienwaededig?" Ond dywedodd Samson wrth ei dad, "Cymer honno imi, oherwydd hi sydd wrth fy modd."

³And his father and his mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father, Take her for me, for she pleases me well.

⁴ Ni wyddai ei dad a'i fam mai oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD yr oedd hyn, ac mai ceisio achos yn erbyn y Philistiaid yr oedd ef. Yr adeg honno y Philistiaid oedd yn arglwyddiaethu ar Israel.

⁴And his father and his mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, that he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

⁵ Aeth Samson i lawr gyda'i dad a'i fam i Timna, a phan gyrhaeddodd winllannoedd Timna, daeth llew ifanc i'w gyfarfod dan ruo.

⁵And Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and they came to the vineyards of Timnathah. And behold, a young lion roared against him;

⁶ Disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ar Samson, a holltodd y llew ifanc fel hollti myn, heb ddim yn ei law; ond ni ddywedodd wrth ei rieni beth a wnaeth.

⁶and the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he rent it as one rends a kid, and nothing was in his hand. And he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

⁷ Yna aeth Samson yn ei flaen i siarad gyda'r ferch, a'i chael wrth ei fodd.

⁷And he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

⁸ Pan ddych-welodd ymhen amser i'w phriodi, trodd i edrych ar ysgerbwd y llew, a dyna lle'r oedd haid o wenyn a m�l y tu mewn i'r corff.

⁸And he returned after a time to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, [there was] a swarm of bees in the carcase of the lion, and honey;

⁹ Cymerodd beth o'r m�l yn ei law, ac aeth yn ei flaen dan fwyta, nes dod at ei dad a'i fam; rhoddodd beth hefyd iddynt hwy i'w fwyta, heb ddweud wrthynt mai o gorff y llew y daeth y m�l.

⁹and he took it out in his hands, and went on, and ate as he went. And he came to his father and to his mother, and gave them, and they ate; but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

¹⁰ Aeth ei dad i lawr at y ferch, a gwnaeth Samson wledd yno yn �l arfer y gwu375?r ifainc.

¹⁰And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

¹¹ Pan welsant ef, dewiswyd deg ar hugain o gyfeillion i gadw cwmni iddo.

¹¹And it came to pass when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they were with him.

¹² Ac meddai Samson wrthynt, "Yr wyf am osod pos i chwi; os llwyddwch i'w ateb yn gywir yn ystod saith diwrnod y wledd, rhof i chwi ddeg darn ar hugain o frethyn a deg siwt ar hugain o ddillad.

¹²And Samson said to them, Let me now propound a riddle to you; if ye clearly explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments.

¹³ Ond os methwch roi'r ateb imi, rhaid i chwi roi i mi ddeg darn ar hugain o frethyn a deg siwt ar hugain o ddillad."

¹³But if ye cannot explain [it] to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments. And they said to him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.

¹⁴ Dywedasant wrtho, "Mynega dy bos, inni ei glywed." A dywedodd wrthynt: "o'r bwytawr fe ddaeth bwyd, ac o'r cryf fe ddaeth melystra." Am dridiau buont yn methu ateb y pos.

¹⁴And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days explain the riddle.

¹⁵ Ar y pedwerydd dydd dywedasant wrth wraig Samson, "Huda dy u373?r i ddatgelu'r pos inni, neu fe'th losgwn di a'th deulu. Ai er mwyn ein tlodi y rhoesoch wahoddiad inni yma?"

¹⁵And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may explain to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye invited us to impoverish us, -- is it not [so]?

¹⁶ Aeth gwraig Samson ato yn ei dagrau a dweud, "Fy nghas�u yr wyt ti, nid fy ngharu; rwyt wedi gosod pos i lanciau fy mhobl heb ei egluro i mi." Ac meddai yntau, "Nid wyf wedi ei egluro i'm tad a'm mam; pam yr eglurwn ef i ti?"

¹⁶And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not. Thou hast propounded the riddle to the children of my people, and hast not explained it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not explained it to my father nor my mother, and shall I explain it to thee?

¹⁷ Bu'n wylo wrtho trwy gydol y saith diwrnod y cynhaliwyd y wledd, ac ar y seithfed dydd fe'i heglurodd iddi, am ei bod wedi ei flino. Eglurodd hithau'r pos i lanciau ei phobl.

¹⁷And she wept before him the seven days, while they had the feast. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that he explained it to her, for she pressed him. And she explained the riddle to the children of her people.

¹⁸ A dywedodd dynion y dref wrtho ar y seithfed diwrnod, cyn i'r haul fachlud: "Beth sy'n felysach na m�l, a beth sy'n gryfach na llew?" Dywedodd yntau wrthynt: "Oni bai i chwi aredig �'m heffer, ni fyddech wedi datrys fy mhos."

¹⁸And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey, And what stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.

¹⁹ Yna disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD arno, aeth i lawr i Ascalon a lladdodd ddeg ar hugain o ddynion. Cymerodd eu gwisgoedd a rhoi'r siwtiau i'r rhai a atebodd y pos, ond yr oedd wedi digio'n enbyd ac aeth yn ei �l adref.

¹⁹And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of garments unto them that explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.

²⁰ Rhoddwyd gwraig Samson i'w gyfaill, a fu'n was priodas iddo.

²⁰And Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had made his friend.
