¹Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?”

¹ Aeth Dafydd i Nob at yr offeiriad Ahimelech. Daeth yntau i'w gyfarfod dan grynu, a gofyn iddo, "Pam yr wyt ti ar dy ben dy hun, heb neb gyda thi?"

²David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, ‘Let no man know anything of the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you; and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place.’

² Ac meddai Dafydd wrth yr offeiriad Ahimelech, "Y brenin sydd wedi rhoi gorchymyn imi, a dweud wrthyf, 'Nid yw neb i wybod dim pam yr anfonais di, na beth a orchmynnais iti.' Ac yr wyf wedi rhoi cyfarwyddyd i'r milwyr ifainc i'm cyfarfod yn y fan a'r fan.

³Now therefore what is under your hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present.”

³ Yn awr, beth sydd gennyt wrth law? Gad imi gael pum torth, neu'r hyn sydd gennyt."

⁴The priest answered David, and said, “There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”

⁴ Atebodd yr offeiriad, "Nid oes gennyf ddim bara cyffredin wrth law; ond y mae yma fara cysegredig � os yw'r milwyr wedi ymgadw'n llwyr oddi wrth wragedd."

⁵David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us about these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”

⁵ Atebodd Dafydd, "Yn wir y mae'n hen arfer gennym ymgadw oddi wrth wragedd pan fyddaf yn cychwyn ar ymgyrch, fel bod arfau'r milwyr yn gysegredig; ac os yw felly ar siwrnai gyffredin, pa faint mwy y bydd yr arfau'n gysegredig heddiw?"

⁶So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread, that was taken from before Yahweh, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

⁶ Yna fe roddodd yr offeiriad iddo'r bara cysegredig, gan nad oedd yno ddim ond y bara gosod oedd wedi ei symud o bresenoldeb yr ARGLWYDD, er mwyn gosod bara ffres ar ddiwrnod y cyfnewid.

⁷Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Yahweh; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

⁷ Ar y pryd, yr oedd un o weision Saul yno dan adduned gerbron yr ARGLWYDD; ei enw oedd Doeg yr Edomiad, ac ef oedd penbugail Saul.

⁸David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”

⁸ Gofynnodd Dafydd i Ahimelech, "Onid oes yma waywffon neu gleddyf wrth law gennyt? Oherwydd ni ddeuthum �'m cleddyf na'm harfau gyda mi, am fod cymaint brys gyda gorchymyn y brenin."

⁹The priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here.” David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.”

⁹ Atebodd yr offeiriad, "Beth am gleddyf Goliath y Philistiad, y dyn a leddaist yn nyffryn Ela? Y mae hwnnw yma wedi ei lapio mewn brethyn y tu �l i'r effod. Os wyt ti am hwnnw, cymer ef, oherwydd nid oes yma yr un arall ond hwnnw."

¹⁰David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

¹⁰ Ac meddai Dafydd, "Nid oes debyg iddo; rho ef imi." Y diwrnod hwnnw ymadawodd Dafydd, ac er mwyn ffoi oddi wrth Saul, aeth at Achis brenin Gath.

¹¹The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing one to another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?’”

¹¹ Gofynnodd gweision Achis iddo, "Onid hwn yw Dafydd, brenin y wlad? Onid am hwn y maent yn canu wrth ddawnsio, 'Lladdodd Saul ei filoedd, a Dafydd ei fyrddiynau'?"

¹²David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

¹² Cymerodd Dafydd y geiriau hyn at ei galon, ac ofnodd rhag Achis brenin Gath.

¹³He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.

¹³ Newidiodd ei ymddygiad o'u blaen, a dechrau ymddwyn fel ynfytyn yn eu mysg, a chripio drysau'r porth, a glafoerio hyd ei farf.

¹⁴Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?

¹⁴ Ac meddai Achis wrth ei weision, "Gallwch weld bod y dyn yn wallgof; pam y daethoch ag ef ataf fi?

¹⁵Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”

¹⁵ A wyf yn brin o ynfydion, fel eich bod yn dod � hwn o'm blaen i ynfydu? A ddaw hwn i'm tu375??"
