1Yahweh said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”
1 Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Samuel, "Am ba hyd yr wyt yn mynd i ofidio am Saul, a minnau wedi ei wrthod fel brenin ar Israel? Llanw dy gorn ag olew a dos; yr wyf yn dy anfon at Jesse o Fethlehem, oherwydd yr wyf wedi gweld brenin imi ymysg ei feibion ef."
2Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” Yahweh said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh.
2 Gofynnodd Samuel, "Sut y medraf fi fynd? Os clyw Saul, fe'm lladd." Dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD, "Dos � heffer gyda thi, a dweud dy fod wedi dod i aberthu i'r ARGLWYDD.
3Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.”
3 Rho wahoddiad i Jesse i'r aberth; dangosaf finnau iti beth i'w wneud, ac eneinia imi yr un a ddywedaf wrthyt."
4Samuel did that which Yahweh spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”
4 Gwnaeth Samuel fel y dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrtho, a mynd i Fethlehem. Pan ddaeth henuriaid y dref yn gynhyrfus i'w gyfarfod a gofyn, "Ai mewn heddwch y daethost?"
5He said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
5 atebodd yntau, "Ie, mewn heddwch. I aberthu i'r ARGLWYDD yr wyf fi yma; ymgysegrwch ac ymunwch � mi yn yr aberth."
6It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eliab, and said, “Surely Yahweh’s anointed is before him.”
6 Cysegrodd yntau Jesse a'i feibion, a'u gwahodd i'r aberth. Fel yr oeddent yn dod, sylwodd ar Eliab a meddyliodd, "Yn sicr dyma'i eneiniog, gerbron yr ARGLWYDD."
7But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for I see not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”
7 Ond dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD wrth Samuel, "Paid ag edrych ar ei wedd na'i daldra, oherwydd yr wyf wedi ei wrthod; oblegid nid yr hyn a w�l meidrolyn y mae Duw'n ei weld. Yr hyn sydd yn y golwg a w�l meidrolyn, ond y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn gweld beth sydd yn y galon."
8Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “Neither has Yahweh chosen this one.”
8 Yna galwodd Jesse am Abinadab a'i ddwyn gerbron, ond dywedodd Samuel, "Nid hwn chwaith a ddewisodd yr ARGLWYDD."
9Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, “Neither has Yahweh chosen this one.”
9 Yna parodd Jesse i Samma ddod, ond dywedodd Samuel, "Nid hwn chwaith a ddewisodd yr ARGLWYDD."
10Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, “Yahweh has not chosen these.”
10 A pharodd Jesse i saith o'i feibion ddod gerbron Samuel; ond dywedodd Samuel wrth Jesse, "Ni ddewisodd yr ARGLWYDD yr un o'r rhai hyn."
11Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your children here?” He said, “There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is keeping the sheep.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.”
11 Yna gofynnodd Samuel i Jesse, "Ai dyma'r bechgyn i gyd?" Atebodd yntau, "Y mae'r ieuengaf ar �l, yn bugeilio'r defaid." Ac meddai Samuel wrth Jesse, "Anfon amdano; nid awn ni oddi yma nes iddo ef ddod."
12He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful face, and goodly to look on. Yahweh said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is he.”
12 Felly anfonodd i'w gyrchu. Yr oedd yn writgoch, a chanddo lygaid gloyw ac yn hardd yr olwg. A dywedodd yr ARGLWYDD, "Tyrd, eneinia ef, oherwydd hwn ydyw."
13Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
13 Cymerodd Samuel y corn olew, a'i eneinio yng nghanol ei frodyr; a disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ar Ddafydd, o'r dydd hwnnw ymlaen. Yna aeth Samuel yn �l i Rama.
14Now the Spirit of Yahweh departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Yahweh troubled him.
14 Ciliodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD oddi wrth Saul, a dechreuodd ysbryd drwg oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD aflonyddu arno.
15Saul’s servants said to him, “See now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
15 Dywedodd gweision Saul wrtho, "Dyma sydd o'i le: y mae un o'r ysbrydion drwg yn aflonyddu arnat.
16Let our lord now command your servants who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. It shall happen, when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.”
16 O na fyddai'n meistr yn gorchymyn i'w weision yma chwilio am u373?r sy'n medru canu telyn! Caiff yntau ei chanu pan fydd yr ysbryd drwg yn ymosod arnat, a byddi dithau'n well."
17Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”
17 Dywedodd Saul wrth ei weision, "Chwiliwch am ddyn sy'n delynor da, a dewch ag ef ataf."
18Then one of the young men answered, and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a comely person; and Yahweh is with him.”
18 Atebodd un o'r gweision, "Mi welais fab i Jesse o Fethlehem, sy'n medru canu telyn, ac y mae'n u373?r dewr ac yn rhyfelwr; y mae'n siarad yn ddeallus ac yn un golygus hefyd, ac y mae'r ARGLWYDD gydag ef."
19Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”
19 Anfonodd Saul negeswyr at Jesse a dweud, "Anfon ataf dy fab Dafydd sydd gyda'r defaid."
20Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
20 Cymerodd Jesse asyn gyda baich o fara, costrel o win, a myn gafr, a'u hanfon gyda'i fab Dafydd at Saul.
21David came to Saul, and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.
21 Aeth Saul yn hoff iawn o Ddafydd pan ddaeth i weini ato, a gwnaeth ef yn gludydd arfau iddo.
22Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight.”
22 Anfonodd Saul at Jesse a dweud, "Yr wyf am i Ddafydd gael aros yn fy ngwasanaeth, oherwydd yr wyf wrth fy modd gydag ef."
23It happened, when the spirit from God was on Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
23 Pryd bynnag y byddai'r ysbryd drwg yn blino Saul, byddai Dafydd yn cymryd ei delyn ac yn ei chanu; rhoddai hynny esmwyth�d i Saul a'i wella, fel bod yr ysbryd drwg yn cilio oddi wrtho.
