¹Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David.

¹ Dywedodd Saul wrth ei fab Jonathan a'i holl weision am ladd Dafydd.

²Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secret place, and hide yourself.

² Ond yr oedd Jonathan fab Saul wedi mynd yn hoff iawn o Ddafydd, a dywedodd wrtho, "Y mae fy nhad Saul yn ceisio dy ladd di; bydd di'n ofalus ohonot dy hun bore yfory, ac ymguddia ac aros o'r golwg.

³I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”

³ Mi af finnau a sefyll yn ymyl fy nhad, allan yn ymyl y lle y byddi di, ac mi soniaf amdanat wrth fy nhad; ac os gwelaf unrhyw beth, mi ddywedaf wrthyt."

⁴Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;

⁴ Siaradodd Jonathan o blaid Dafydd wrth ei dad Saul, a dweud wrtho, "Peidied y brenin � gwneud cam �'i was Dafydd, oherwydd ni wnaeth ef gam � thi; yn wir, bu ei weithredoedd o les mawr iti.

⁵for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”

⁵ Mentrodd ei fywyd i ladd y Philistiad hwnnw, a rhoddodd yr ARGLWYDD fuddugoliaeth fawr i Israel gyfan. Yr oeddit tithau'n gweld ac yn llawenychu; pam ynteu yr wyt am wneud cam ag un dieuog, a lladd Dafydd heb achos?"

⁶Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”

⁶ Gwrandawodd Saul ar ble Jonathan a thyngodd: "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, ni chaiff ei ladd."

⁷Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.

⁷ Wedi i Jonathan alw Dafydd, a dweud hyn i gyd wrtho, aeth ag ef at Saul; a bu Dafydd yn ei wasanaethu fel cynt.

⁸There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.

⁸ A phan dorrodd rhyfel allan eto, aeth Dafydd i ymladd yn erbyn y Philistiaid a gwneud difrod mawr arnynt, a hwythau'n ffoi o'i flaen.

⁹An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.

⁹ Daeth ysbryd drwg oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD ar Saul ac yntau'n eistedd gartref � gwaywffon yn ei law, a Dafydd yn canu'r delyn.

¹⁰Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.

¹⁰ Ceisiodd Saul drywanu'r waywffon trwy Ddafydd i'r pared, ond osg�dd Dafydd ef, ac i'r pared y trawodd y waywffon; felly dihangodd Dafydd a ffoi.

¹¹Saul sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”

¹¹ Y noson honno anfonodd Saul negeswyr i gartref Dafydd i'w wylio er mwyn ei ladd yn y bore. Ond yr oedd Michal gwraig Dafydd wedi dweud wrtho, "Os na fyddi'n dianc heno am d'einioes, yfory byddi'n farw."

¹²So Michal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.

¹² Felly, wedi i Michal ollwng Dafydd i lawr drwy'r ffenestr, aeth yntau ar ffo a dianc.

¹³Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.

¹³ Yna cymerodd Michal y teraffim a'u gosod yn y gwely, a rhoi clustog o flew geifr lle byddai'r pen, a thaenu dilledyn drosti.

¹⁴When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”

¹⁴ Pan anfonodd Saul negeswyr i ddal Dafydd, dywedodd hi, "Y mae'n glaf."

¹⁵Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”

¹⁵ Ond anfonodd Saul y negeswyr yn �l i chwilio am Ddafydd gyda'r gorchymyn, "Dewch ag ef ataf yn ei wely, imi ei ladd."

¹⁶When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.

¹⁶ Pan ddaeth y negeswyr, dyna lle'r oedd y teraffim yn y gwely, gyda chlustog o flew geifr wrth y pen.

¹⁷Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”

¹⁷ Meddai Saul wrth Michal, "Pam y twyllaist fi fel hyn, a gollwng fy ngelyn yn rhydd i ddianc?" Atebodd Michal, "Ef a ddywedodd wrthyf, 'Gollwng fi, neu mi'th laddaf.'"

¹⁸Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.

¹⁸ Ffodd Dafydd a dianc i Rama at Samuel, ac adrodd wrtho'r cwbl a wnaeth Saul iddo. Yna aeth Samuel ac yntau, ac aros yn Naioth.

¹⁹It was told Saul, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”

¹⁹ Mynegwyd i Saul, "Y mae Dafydd yn Naioth ger Rama."

²⁰Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

²⁰ Anfonodd Saul negeswyr i ddal Dafydd, ond pan welsant dwr o broffwydi'n proffwydo, a Samuel yn sefyll yno'n bennaeth arnynt, disgynnodd ysbryd Duw arnynt ac aethant hwythau i broffwydo.

²¹When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

²¹ Pan fynegwyd hyn i Saul, anfonodd negeswyr eraill, ond aethant hwythau i broffwydo hefyd; a phan anfonodd Saul negeswyr am y trydydd tro, aeth y rheini hefyd i broffwydo.

²²Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”

²² Yna fe aeth ef ei hun i Rama, ac wedi iddo gyrraedd y pydew mawr yn Secu a holi ple'r oedd Samuel a Dafydd, dywedodd rhywun eu bod yn Naioth ger Rama.

²³He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

²³ Wrth iddo fynd yno i Naioth ger Rama, disgynnodd ysbryd Duw arno yntau hefyd, ac aeth yn ei flaen dan broffwydo nes dod i Naioth ger Rama.

²⁴He also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

²⁴ Yno fe ddiosgodd yntau ei ddillad a phroffwydo gerbron Samuel; a gorweddodd yn noeth drwy'r dydd a'r noson honno. Dyna pam y dywedir, "A yw Saul hefyd ymysg y proffwydi?"
