¹David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”

¹ Ffodd Dafydd o Naioth ger Rama, a daeth at Jonathan a gofyn, "Beth wnes i? Beth yw fy mai a'm pechod gerbron dy dad, fel ei fod yn ceisio f'einioes?"

²He said to him, “Far from it; you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”

² Dywedodd Jonathan, "Pell y bo! Ni fyddi farw. Edrych yma, nid yw fy nhad yn gwneud dim, bach na mawr, heb ddweud wrthyf fi; pam felly y byddai fy nhad yn celu'r peth hwn oddi wrthyf? Nid oes dim yn y peth."

³David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”

³ Ond tyngodd Dafydd wrtho eto a dweud, "Y mae dy dad yn gwybod yn iawn imi gael ffafr yn d'olwg, a dywedodd, 'Nid yw Jonathan i wybod hyn, rhag iddo boeni.' Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, a thithau hefyd, dim ond cam sydd rhyngof fi ac angau."

⁴Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”

⁴ Yna gofynnodd Jonathan i Ddafydd, "Beth a ddymuni imi ei wneud iti?"

⁵David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.

⁵ Ac meddai Dafydd wrth Jonathan, "Y mae'n newydd-loer yfory, a dylwn fod yno'n bwyta gyda'r brenin; gad imi fynd ac ymguddio yn y maes tan yr hwyr drennydd.

⁶If your father miss me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’

⁶ Os bydd dy dad yn holi'n arw amdanaf, dywed, 'Fe grefodd Dafydd am ganiat�d gennyf i fynd draw i'w dref ei hun, Bethlehem, am fod yno aberth blynyddol i'r holl dylwyth.'

⁷If he says, ‘It is well;’ your servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, then know that evil is determined by him.

⁷ Os dywed, 'Popeth yn dda', yna y mae'n ddiogel i'th was; ond os cyll ei dymer, byddi'n gwybod ei fod yn bwriadu drwg.

⁸Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you: but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?”

⁸ Bydd yn deyrngar i'th was, oherwydd gwnaethost gyfamod � mi gerbron yr ARGLWYDD. Ac os oes bai ynof, lladd fi dy hun; pam mynd � mi at dy dad?"

⁹Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”

⁹ Atebodd Jonathan, "Pell y bo hynny! Pe bawn i'n gwybod o gwbl fod fy nhad yn bwriadu drwg iti, oni fyddwn yn dweud wrthyt?"

¹⁰Then David said to Jonathan, “Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?”

¹⁰ Gofynnodd Dafydd i Jonathan, "Pwy sydd i ddweud wrthyf os bydd dy dad yn rhoi ateb chwyrn iti?"

¹¹Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.

¹¹ Dywedodd Jonathan wrth Ddafydd, "Tyrd, gad inni fynd i'r maes."

¹²Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you?

¹² Aeth y ddau allan i'r maes, ac meddai Jonathan wrth Ddafydd, "Cyn wired � bod ARGLWYDD Dduw Israel yn fyw, mi holaf fy nhad tua'r adeg yma yfory am y trydydd tro; yna, os newydd da fydd i Ddafydd, anfonaf air i ddweud wrthyt.

¹³Yahweh do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father.

¹³ Ond os yw fy nhad am wneud niwed iti, yna fel hyn y gwnelo'r ARGLWYDD i mi, Jonathan, a rhagor, os na fyddaf yn dweud wrthyt, er mwyn iti gael mynd ymaith yn ddiogel. Bydded yr ARGLWYDD gyda thi, fel y bu gyda'm tad.

¹⁴You shall not only while yet I live show me the loving kindness of Yahweh, that I not die;

¹⁴ Os byddaf fyw, gwna drugaredd � mi yn enw'r ARGLWYDD.

¹⁵but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when Yahweh has cut off the enemies of David everyone from the surface of the earth.”

¹⁵ Ond os byddaf farw, paid byth ag atal dy drugaredd oddi wrth fy nheulu. A phan fydd yr ARGLWYDD wedi torri ymaith holl elynion Dafydd oddi ar wyneb y tir,

¹⁶So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “Yahweh will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”

¹⁶ na fydded Jonathan wedi ei dorri oddi wrth deulu Dafydd; a bydded i'r ARGLWYDD ddial ar elynion Dafydd."

¹⁷Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

¹⁷ Tyngodd Jonathan eto i Ddafydd am ei fod yn ei garu, oherwydd yr oedd yn ei garu fel ei enaid ei hun.

¹⁸Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

¹⁸ A dywedodd Jonathan wrtho, "Y mae'n newydd-loer yfory, a gwelir dy eisiau pan fydd dy le yn wag; a thrennydd byddant yn chwilio'n ddyfal amdanat.

¹⁹When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.

¹⁹ Dos dithau i'r man yr ymguddiaist ynddo adeg y digwyddiad o'r blaen, ac aros yn ymyl y garreg fan draw.

²⁰I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark.

²⁰ Saethaf finnau dair saeth i'w hymyl, fel pe bawn yn saethu at nod.

²¹Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come; for there is peace to you and no hurt, as Yahweh lives.

²¹ Wedyn anfonaf y llanc a dweud, 'Dos i n�l y saethau.' Os byddaf yn dweud wrth y llanc, 'Edrych, y mae'r saethau y tu yma iti; cymer hwy', yna tyrd, oherwydd y mae'n ddiogel iti, heb unrhyw berygl, cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw.

²²But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you;’ then go your way; for Yahweh has sent you away.

²² Ond os dywedaf fel hyn wrth y llencyn: 'Edrych, y mae'r saethau y tu draw iti', yna dos, oherwydd y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn dy anfon i ffwrdd.

²³Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”

²³ Bydded yr ARGLWYDD yn dyst am byth rhyngof fi a thi yn y cytundeb hwn a wnaethom ein dau."

²⁴So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat him down to eat food.

²⁴ Ymguddiodd Dafydd yn y maes; a phan ddaeth y newydd-loer,

²⁵The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty.

²⁵ eisteddodd y brenin i lawr i fwyta'r pryd, a chymryd ei le arferol ar y sedd wrth y pared, gyda Jonathan gyferbyn, ac Abner yn eistedd wrth ochr Saul; ond roedd lle Dafydd yn wag.

²⁶Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day: for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”

²⁶ Ni ddywedodd Saul ddim y diwrnod hwnnw, gan feddwl mai rhyw hap oedd, ac nad oedd yn l�n.

²⁷It happened on the next day after the new moon, the second day, that David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?”

²⁷ Ond pan oedd lle Dafydd yn wag drannoeth, ar ail ddiwrnod y newydd-loer, gofynnodd Saul i'w fab Jonathan, "Pam nad yw mab Jesse wedi dod i fwyta, ddoe na heddiw?"

²⁸Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.

²⁸ Atebodd Jonathan, "O, fe grefodd Dafydd arnaf am gael mynd i Fethlehem,

²⁹He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”

²⁹ a dweud, 'Gad imi fynd, oherwydd y mae gan y teulu aberth yn y dref, ac y mae fy mrawd wedi peri i mi fod yno; felly, os gweli di'n dda, gad imi fynd draw i weld fy mrodyr.' Dyna pam nad yw wedi dod at fwrdd y brenin."

³⁰Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?

³⁰ Gwylltiodd Saul wrth Jonathan a dywedodd wrtho, "Ti fab putain anufudd! Oni wyddwn dy fod yn ochri gyda mab Jesse, er cywilydd i ti dy hun ac i warth dy fam?

³¹For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”

³¹ Oherwydd tra bydd mab Jesse fyw ar y ddaear, ni fyddi di na'r frenhiniaeth yn ddiogel. Anfon ar unwaith a thyrd ag ef ataf, oherwydd y mae'n haeddu marw."

³²Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”

³² Atebodd Jonathan a dweud wrth ei dad, "Pam ei roi i farwolaeth? Beth y mae wedi ei wneud?"

³³Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

³³ Yna hyrddiodd Saul waywffon ato i'w daro, a sylweddolodd Jonathan fod ei dad yn benderfynol o ladd Dafydd.

³⁴So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

³⁴ Felly cododd Jonathan oddi wrth y bwrdd yn wyllt ei dymer, a heb fwyta tamaid ar ail ddiwrnod y newydd-loer, am ei fod yn gofidio dros Ddafydd, a bod ei dad wedi rhoi sen arno yntau.

³⁵It happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.

³⁵ Bore trannoeth aeth Jonathan allan i'r maes i gadw ei oed � Dafydd, a llanc ifanc gydag ef.

³⁶He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

³⁶ Dywedodd wrth y llanc, "Rhed di i n�l y saethau y byddaf fi'n eu saethu." Tra oedd y llanc yn rhedeg, yr oedd ef yn saethu'r saethau y tu draw iddo.

³⁷When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”

³⁷ Wedi i'r llanc gyrraedd y man y disgynnodd y saethau, gwaeddodd Jonathan ar �l y llanc, "Onid yw'r saethau y tu draw iti?" Yna gwaeddodd ar �l y llanc, "Dos, brysia, paid � sefyllian."

³⁸Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

³⁸ Casglodd llanc Jonathan y saethau a'u dwyn yn �l at ei feistr.

³⁹But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

³⁹ Nid oedd y llanc yn sylweddoli dim, ond yr oedd Jonathan a Dafydd yn deall y neges.

⁴⁰Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”

⁴⁰ Rhoddodd Jonathan ei offer i'r llanc oedd gydag ef, a dweud wrtho, "Dos, cymer hwy'n �l adref."

⁴¹As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most.

⁴¹ Wedi i'r llanc fynd, cododd Dafydd o'r tu �l i'r garreg, a syrthio ar ei wyneb i'r llawr ac ymgrymu deirgwaith. Yna cusanodd y ddau ei gilydd ac wylo, yn enwedig Dafydd.

⁴²Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the name of Yahweh, saying, ‘Yahweh shall be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.

⁴² Ac meddai Jonathan wrth Ddafydd, "Dos mewn heddwch; yr ydym ein dau wedi tyngu yn enw'r ARGLWYDD y bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn dyst rhyngom ni a rhwng ein disgynyddion am byth." Yna aeth Dafydd i ffwrdd, a dychwelodd Jonathan adref.
