¹ Dywedodd Samuel wrth holl Israel, "Edrychwch, yr wyf wedi gwrando ar bopeth a ddywedasoch wrthyf, a gosod brenin arnoch.

¹Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

² Yn awr, dyma'r brenin fydd yn eich arwain. Yr wyf fi'n hen a phenwyn, ac y mae fy meibion gyda chwi. B�m yn eich arwain, o'm hieuenctid hyd heddiw.

²Now, behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth to this day.

³ Dyma fi; tystiwch yn f'erbyn gerbron yr ARGLWYDD a'i eneiniog: a gymerais ych unrhyw un? A gymerais asyn unrhyw un? A dwyllais rywun? A orthrymais rywun? A dderbyniais gil-dwrn oddi wrth rywun i gau fy llygaid? Dewch � thystiolaeth, ac fe'i rhoddaf yn �l."

³Here I am. Witness against me before Yahweh, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind my eyes therewith? I will restore it to you.”

⁴ Ond dywedasant, "Nid wyt ti wedi'n twyllo na'n gorthrymu, nac wedi cymryd dim gan neb."

⁴They said, “You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man’s hand.”

⁵ Yna dywedodd wrthynt, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dyst yn eich erbyn heddiw, a'i eneiniog hefyd, na chawsoch un dim yn fy meddiant." "Ydyw, y mae'n dyst," meddai'r bobl.

⁵He said to them, “Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” They said, “He is witness.”

⁶ Dywedodd Samuel, "Y tyst yw yr ARGLWYDD, a gododd Moses ac Aaron, ac a ddygodd eich hynafiaid i fyny o wlad yr Aifft;

⁶Samuel said to the people, “It is Yahweh who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

⁷ felly safwch mewn trefn er mwyn imi ymresymu � chwi gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, ynglu375?n �'r holl weithredoedd achubol a wnaeth yr ARGLWYDD drosoch chwi a'ch hynafiaid.

⁷Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before Yahweh concerning all the righteous acts of Yahweh, which he did to you and to your fathers.

⁸ Wedi i Jacob ddod i lawr i'r Aifft, gwaeddodd eich hynafiaid ar yr ARGLWYDD; anfonodd yntau Moses ac Aaron, a daethant hwy �'ch hynafiaid allan o'r Aifft a'u rhoi i fyw yn y lle hwn.

⁸“When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Yahweh, then Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.

⁹ Ond oherwydd iddynt anghofio'r ARGLWYDD eu Duw, gwerthodd hwy i law Sisera, pennaeth byddin Hasor, ac i'r Philistiaid, ac i frenin Moab; a bu'r rhain yn rhyfela yn eu herbyn.

⁹“But they forgot Yahweh their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.

¹⁰ Yna bu iddynt weiddi ar yr ARGLWYDD a dweud, 'Yr ydym ar fai am inni gefnu ar yr ARGLWYDD ac addoli'r Baalim a'r Astaroth; ond yn awr, achub ni o law ein gelynion, ac fe'th addolwn di.'

¹⁰They cried to Yahweh, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yahweh, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’

¹¹ Anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD Jerwbbaal, Bedan, Jefftha a Samuel, a gwaredodd chwi o law y gelynion o'ch cwmpas, a chawsoch fyw'n ddiogel.

¹¹Yahweh sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.

¹² Ond pan welsoch Nahas brenin yr Ammoniaid yn dod yn eich erbyn, dywedasoch wrthyf, 'Na, rhaid cael brenin i deyrnasu arnom', er bod yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw yn frenin arnoch.

¹²“When you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us;’ when Yahweh your God was your king.

¹³ Yn awr, dyma'r brenin yr ydych wedi ei ddewis a gofyn amdano; ydyw, y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi brenin i chwi.

¹³Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and behold, Yahweh has set a king over you.

¹⁴ Os byddwch yn ofni'r ARGLWYDD, ac yn ei addoli ef ac yn ufuddhau iddo heb wrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, ac os byddwch chwi a'r brenin a osodir arnoch yn dilyn yr ARGLWYDD eich Duw, popeth yn dda.

¹⁴If you will fear Yahweh, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of Yahweh your God.

¹⁵ Ond os na wrandewch ar yr ARGLWYDD, ond gwrthryfela yn erbyn ei orchymyn, yna bydd llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn eich erbyn chwi a'ch brenin i'ch difa.

¹⁵But if you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh, but rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then will the hand of Yahweh be against you, as it was against your fathers.

¹⁶ Yn awr, safwch yma a gwelwch y peth mawr hwn y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn ei wneud o flaen eich llygaid.

¹⁶“Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Yahweh will do before your eyes.

¹⁷ Onid yw'n adeg y cynhaeaf gwenith? Galwaf ar yr ARGLWYDD i anfon taranau a glaw, a chewch weld a gwybod eich bod wedi cyflawni trosedd mawr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD drwy ofyn am frenin."

¹⁷Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to Yahweh, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of Yahweh, in asking for a king.”

¹⁸ Yna galwodd Samuel ar yr ARGLWYDD, ac anfonodd yr ARGLWYDD daranau a glaw y diwrnod hwnnw, ac ofnodd yr holl bobl yr ARGLWYDD a Samuel.

¹⁸So Samuel called to Yahweh; and Yahweh sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.

¹⁹ Dywedodd yr holl bobl wrth Samuel, "Gwedd�a ar yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw ar ein rhan, rhag inni farw, oherwydd yr ydym wedi ychwanegu at ein holl bechodau y drwg hwn o geisio inni frenin."

¹⁹All the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.”

²⁰ Dywedodd Samuel wrth y bobl, "Peidiwch ag ofni, er i chwi wneud yr holl ddrwg hwn; peidiwch � throi i ffwrdd oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD; addolwch yr ARGLWYDD �'ch holl galon.

²⁰Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet don’t turn aside from following Yahweh, but serve Yahweh with all your heart.

²¹ Peidiwch � throi at wagedd eilunod na fedrant gynorthwyo na gwaredu am mai gwagedd ydynt.

²¹Don’t turn aside to go after vain things which can’t profit nor deliver, for they are vain.

²² Er mwyn ei enw mawr ni fydd yr ARGLWYDD yn gwrthod ei bobl; oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dymuno'ch gwneud yn bobl iddo.

²²For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people to himself.

²³ A phell y bo oddi wrthyf finnau bechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD trwy roi'r gorau i wedd�o drosoch a'ch hyfforddi yn y ffordd dda ac uniawn.

²³Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

²⁴ Yn unig ofnwch yr ARGLWYDD, a gwasanaethwch ef mewn gwirionedd ac �'ch holl galon. Ystyriwch y pethau mawr a wnaeth drosoch.

²⁴Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he has done for you.

²⁵ Ond os parhewch i wneud drwg, ysgubir chwi a'ch brenin i ffwrdd."

²⁵But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be consumed, both you and your king.”
