¹Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.

¹ Un diwrnod, heb yngan gair wrth ei dad, dywedodd Jonathan fab Saul wrth y gwas oedd yn cludo'i arfau, "Tyrd, awn drosodd at wylwyr y Philistiaid sydd acw gyferbyn � ni."

²Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;

² Yr oedd Saul yn aros yng nghwr Gibea, dan y pren pomgranad sydd yn Migron, a thua chwe chant o bobl gydag ef;

³and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.

³ Ahia, mab Ahitub brawd Ichabod, fab Phinees, fab Eli, offeiriad yr ARGLWYDD yn Seilo, oedd yn cario'r effod. Ni wyddai'r bobl fod Jonathan wedi mynd.

⁴Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

⁴ Yn y bwlch lle'r oedd Jonathan yn ceisio croesi tuag at wylwyr y Philistiaid yr oedd clogwyn o graig ar y naill ochr a'r llall; Boses oedd enw'r naill a Senne oedd enw'r llall.

⁵The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

⁵ Yr oedd un clogwyn yn taflu allan i'r gogledd ar ochr Michmas, a'r llall i'r de ar ochr Geba.

⁶Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”

⁶ Dywedodd Jonathan wrth y gwas oedd yn cludo'i arfau, "Tyrd, awn drosodd at y gwylwyr dienwaededig acw; efallai y bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn gweithio o'n plaid, oherwydd nid oes dim i rwystro'r ARGLWYDD rhag gwaredu trwy lawer neu drwy ychydig."

⁷His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Turn and, behold, I am with you according to your heart.”

⁷ Dywedodd cludydd ei arfau wrtho, "Gwna beth bynnag sydd yn dy fryd; dygna arni; rwyf gyda thi, galon wrth galon."

⁸Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.

⁸ Dywedodd Jonathan, "Edrych yma, fe awn drosodd at y dynion a'n dangos ein hunain iddynt.

⁹If they say thus to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.

⁹ Os dywedant wrthym, 'Arhoswch lle'r ydych nes y byddwn wedi dod atoch', fe arhoswn lle byddwn heb fynd atynt.

¹⁰But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up; for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”

¹⁰ Ond os dywedant, 'Dewch i fyny atom', yna awn i fyny, oherwydd bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn eu rhoi yn ein llaw; a bydd hyn yn arwydd inni."

¹¹Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”

¹¹ Dangosodd y ddau ohonynt eu hunain i wylwyr y Philistiaid, a dywedodd y Philistiaid, "Dyma Hebreaid yn dod allan o'r tyllau lle buont yn cuddio."

¹²The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me; for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”

¹² A gwaeddodd dynion yr wyliadwriaeth ar Jonathan a'i gludydd arfau, a dweud, "Dewch i fyny atom, i ni gael dangos rhywbeth i chwi." Dywedodd Jonathan wrth ei gludydd arfau, "Tyrd i fyny ar f'�l i, oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi eu rhoi yn llaw Israel."

¹³Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.

¹³ Dringodd Jonathan i fyny ar ei ddwylo a'i draed, gyda'i gludydd arfau ar ei �l. Cwympodd y gwylwyr o flaen Jonathan, a daeth ei gludydd arfau ar ei �l i'w dienyddio.

¹⁴That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.

¹⁴ Y tro cyntaf hwn, lladdodd Jonathan a'i gludydd arfau tuag ugain o ddynion o fewn tua hanner cwys cae.

¹⁵There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.

¹⁵ Cododd braw drwy'r gwersyll a'r maes, a brawychwyd holl bobl yr wyliadwriaeth, a'r rheibwyr hefyd, nes bod y wlad yn crynu gan arswyd.

¹⁶The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away, and scattered.

¹⁶ Yna gwelodd ysbiwyr Saul oedd yn Gibea Benjamin fod y gwersyll yn rhuthro yma ac acw mewn anhrefn.

¹⁷Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

¹⁷ Dywedodd Saul wrth y bobl oedd gydag ef, "Galwch y rhestr i weld pwy sydd wedi mynd o'n plith."

¹⁸Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God here.” For the ark of God was with the children of Israel at that time.

¹⁸ Galwyd y rhestr, a chael nad oedd Jonathan na'i gludydd arfau yno. Yna dywedodd Saul wrth Ahia, "Tyrd �'r effod." Oherwydd yr adeg honno ef oedd yn cludo'r effod o flaen Israel.

¹⁹It happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”

¹⁹ Tra oedd Saul yn siarad �'r offeiriad, cynyddodd yr anhrefn fwyfwy yng ngwersyll y Philistiaid, a dywedodd Saul wrth yr offeiriad, "Atal dy law."

²⁰Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.

²⁰ Galwodd Saul yr holl bobl oedd gydag ef, ac aethant i'r frwydr; yno yr oedd pob un �'i gleddyf yn erbyn ei gyfaill, mewn anhrefn llwyr.

²¹Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

²¹ A dyma'r Hebreaid oedd gynt ar ochr y Philistiaid, ac wedi dod i fyny i'r gwersyll gyda hwy, yn troi ac yn ochri gyda'r Israeliaid oedd gyda Saul a Jonathan.

²²Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

²² A phan glywodd yr Israeliaid oedd yn llechu yn ucheldir Effraim fod y Philistiaid ar ffo, dyna hwythau hefyd yn ymuno i'w hymlid.

²³So Yahweh saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.

²³ Y dydd hwnnw gwaredodd yr ARGLWYDD Israel, ac ymledodd y frwydr tu hwnt i Beth-afen.

²⁴The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

²⁴ Ond aeth yn gyfyng ar yr Israeliaid y diwrnod hwnnw, oherwydd i Saul dynghedu'r bobl a dweud, "Melltigedig fyddo'r un sy'n bwyta tamaid cyn yr hwyr! Yr wyf am ddial ar fy ngelynion." Ac ni phrofodd yr un o'r bobl damaid.

²⁵All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

²⁵ Daethant oll i goedwig lle'r oedd m�l gwyllt;

²⁶When the people had come to the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

²⁶ a phan ddaethant yno a gweld llif o f�l, nid estynnodd neb ei law at ei geg, am fod y bobl yn ofni'r llw.

²⁷But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath: therefore he put forth the end of the rod who was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

²⁷ Nid oedd Jonathan wedi clywed ei dad yn gwneud i'r bobl gymryd y llw, ac estynnodd y ffon oedd yn ei law a tharo'i blaen yn y diliau m�l, ac yna'i chodi at ei geg; a gloywodd ei lygaid.

²⁸Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food this day.’” The people were faint.

²⁸ Yna dywedodd un o'r bobl wrtho, "Y mae dy dad wedi gosod llw caeth ar y bobl, ac wedi dweud, 'Melltigedig yw pob un sy'n bwyta tamaid heddiw'. Ac yr oedd y bobl yn lluddedig."

²⁹Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

²⁹ Atebodd Jonathan, "Y mae fy nhad wedi gwneud drwg i'r wlad; edrychwch fel y gloywodd fy llygaid pan brofais fymryn o'r m�l hwn.

³⁰How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For now has there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”

³⁰ Yn wir, pe bai'r bobl wedi cael rhyddid i fwyta heddiw o ysbail eu gelynion, oni fyddai'r lladdfa ymysg y Philistiaid yn drymach?"

³¹They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;

³¹ Y diwrnod hwnnw trawyd y Philistiaid bob cam o Michmas i Ajalon, er bod y bobl wedi blino'n llwyr.

³²and the people flew on the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.

³² Yna rhuthrodd y bobl ar yr ysbail a chymryd defaid ac ychen a lloi, a'u lladd ar y ddaear, a'u bwyta heb eu gwaedu.

³³Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day!”

³³ Pan ddywedwyd wrth Saul, "Edrych, y mae'r bobl yn pechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD wrth fwyta cig heb ei waedu", dywedodd yntau, "Yr ydych wedi troseddu; rhowliwch yma garreg fawr ar unwaith."

³⁴Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.

³⁴ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Ewch ar frys trwy ganol y bobl a dywedwch wrthynt, 'Doed pob un �'i ych neu ei ddafad ataf fi, a'u lladd yma a'u bwyta, rhag i chwi bechu yn erbyn yr ARGLWYDD trwy fwyta cig heb ei waedu'." Daeth pob un o'r bobl �'i ych gydag ef y noson honno, i'w ladd yno.

³⁵Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.

³⁵ Felly y cododd Saul allor i'r ARGLWYDD, a honno oedd yr allor gyntaf iddo'i chodi i'r ARGLWYDD.

³⁶Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let us draw near here to God.”

³⁶ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Awn i lawr ar �l y Philistiaid liw nos a'u hysbeilio hyd y bore, heb adael yr un ohonynt ar �l." Dywedodd y bobl, "Gwna beth bynnag a fynni." Ond dywedodd yr offeiriad, "Gadewch inni agos�u yma at Dduw."

³⁷Saul asked counsel of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.

³⁷ Gofynnodd Saul i Dduw, "Os af i lawr ar �l y Philistiaid, a roi di hwy yn llaw Israel?" Ond ni chafodd ateb y diwrnod hwnnw.

³⁸Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people; and know and see in which this sin has been this day.

³⁸ Yna dywedodd Saul, "Dewch yma, holl bennau-teuluoedd y bobl, a chwiliwch i gael gweld ymhle mae'r pechod hwn heddiw.

³⁹For, as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

³⁹ Oherwydd, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, yr un a waredodd Israel, hyd yn oed pe byddai yn fy mab Jonathan, byddai raid iddo farw." Ond ni ddywedodd yr un o'r bobl wrtho.

⁴⁰Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”

⁴⁰ Yna dywedodd wrth yr holl Israeliaid, "Safwch chwi ar un ochr, a minnau a'm mab Jonathan ar yr ochr arall." A dywedodd y bobl wrth Saul, "Gwna fel y gweli'n dda."

⁴¹Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen; but the people escaped.

⁴¹ Dywedodd Saul wrth yr ARGLWYDD, Duw Israel, "Pam nad atebaist dy was heddiw? Os yw'r camwedd hwn ynof fi neu yn fy mab Jonathan, O ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel, rho Wrim; ond os yw'r camwedd hwn yn dy bobl Israel, rho Twmim." Daliwyd Jonathan a Saul, ac aeth Israel yn rhydd.

⁴²Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.

⁴² Dywedodd Saul, "Bwriwch goelbren rhyngof fi a'm mab Jonathan." A daliwyd Jonathan.

⁴³Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”

⁴³ Yna dywedodd Saul wrth Jonathan, "Dywed wrthyf beth a wnaethost." Eglurodd Jonathan iddo, a dweud, "Dim ond profi mymryn o f�l ar flaen y ffon oedd yn fy llaw. Dyma fi, rwy'n barod i farw."

⁴⁴Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”

⁴⁴ Atebodd Saul, "Fel hyn y gwna Duw i mi, a rhagor, os na fydd Jonathan farw."

⁴⁵The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day!” So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn’t die.

⁴⁵ Ond dyma'r bobl yn dweud wrth Saul, "A gaiff Jonathan farw, ac yntau wedi ennill y fuddugoliaeth fawr hon i Israel? Pell y bo! Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, ni chaiff blewyn o wallt ei ben syrthio i'r llawr. Gyda Duw y gweithiodd ef y diwrnod hwn." Prynodd y bobl ryddid Jonathan, ac ni fu farw.

⁴⁶Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

⁴⁶ Dychwelodd Saul o ymlid y Philistiaid, ac aeth y Philistiaid adref.

⁴⁷Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.

⁴⁷ Wedi i Saul ennill y frenhiniaeth ar Israel, ymladdodd �'i holl elynion oddi amgylch � Moab, yr Ammoniaid, Edom, brenhinoedd Soba a'r Philistiaid � a'u darostwng ble bynnag yr �i.

⁴⁸He did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them.

⁴⁸ Gweithredodd yn ddewr, trawodd yr Amaleciaid, a rhyddhaodd Israel o law eu gormeswyr.

⁴⁹Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

⁴⁹ Jonathan, Isfi a Malcisua oedd meibion Saul. Enw'r hynaf o'i ddwy ferch oedd Merab, ac enw'r ieuengaf Michal.

⁵⁰and the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

⁵⁰ Ahinoam ferch Ahimaas oedd gwraig Saul, ac Abner fab Ner, ewythr Saul, oedd pennaeth ei lu.

⁵¹Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

⁵¹ Yr oedd Cis tad Saul a Ner tad Abner yn feibion i Abiel.

⁵²There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.

⁵² Bu rhyfel caled yn erbyn y Philistiaid holl ddyddiau Saul; ac os gwelai Saul u373?r cryf a dewr, fe'i cymerai ato.
