¹The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”

¹ Daeth y Siffiaid at Saul i Gibea a dweud, "Onid yw Dafydd yn llechu ym mryn Hachila gyferbyn � Jesimon?"

²Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

² Aeth Saul ar unwaith i lawr i ddiffeithwch Siff, a thair mil o wu375?r dewisol Israel gydag ef, i chwilio am Ddafydd yno.

³Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

³ Gwersyllodd Saul ar y briffordd ym mryn Hachila gyferbyn � Jesimon, tra oedd Dafydd yn aros yn yr anialwch.

⁴David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.

⁴ Pan welodd Dafydd fod Saul yn dod i'r anialwch ar ei �l, anfonodd ysbiwyr a chael sicrwydd fod Saul wedi dod.

⁵David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around him.

⁵ Aeth Dafydd ar unwaith i'r man lle'r oedd Saul yn gwersyllu, a gweld lle'r oedd ef a'i gadfridog Abner fab Ner yn cysgu. Yr oedd Saul yn cysgu yng nghanol y gwersyll, a'r milwyr yn gwersyllu o'i gwmpas.

⁶Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”

⁶ Troes Dafydd a gofyn i Ahimelech yr Hethiad ac Abisai fab Serfia, brawd Joab, "Pwy a ddaw i lawr gyda mi i'r gwersyll at Saul?" Atebodd Abisai, "Fe ddof fi gyda thi."

⁷So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.

⁷ Aeth Dafydd ac Abisai i blith y milwyr liw nos, a dyna lle'r oedd Saul yn gorwedd ac yn cysgu yn y canol, a'i waywffon wedi ei gwthio i'r ddaear yn ymyl ei ben, ac Abner a'r milwyr yn gorwedd o'i amgylch.

⁸Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.”

⁸ Dywedodd Abisai wrth Ddafydd, "Y mae'r ARGLWYDD wedi rhoi dy elyn heddiw yn dy law; gad imi ei drywanu i'r ddaear �'r waywffon ag un ergyd; ni fydd angen ail."

⁹David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against Yahweh’s anointed, and be guiltless?”

⁹ Ond dywedodd Dafydd wrth Abisai, "Paid �'i ladd. Pwy a fedr estyn llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD a bod yn ddieuog?"

¹⁰David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

¹⁰ Ac ychwanegodd Dafydd, "Cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, bydd yr ARGLWYDD yn sicr o'i daro; un ai fe ddaw ei amser, a bydd farw, neu ynteu fe � i frwydr a cholli ei fywyd.

¹¹Yahweh forbid that I should put forth my hand against Yahweh’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go.”

¹¹ Yr ARGLWYDD a'm gwaredo rhag i mi estyn fy llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD. Cymer di y waywffon sydd wrth ei ben, a'i gostrel ddu373?r, ac fe awn."

¹²So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and they went away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh was fallen on them.

¹² Cymerodd Dafydd y waywffon a'r gostrel ddu373?r oedd yn ymyl pen Saul, ac ymaith � hwy heb i neb weld na gwybod na deffro. Yr oedd pawb yn cysgu, am i'r ARGLWYDD anfon trymgwsg arnynt.

¹³Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;

¹³ Dringodd Dafydd trwy'r bwlch a sefyll draw ar gopa'r mynydd, � chryn bellter rhyngddo a hwy.

¹⁴and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Don’t you answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who cries to the king?”

¹⁴ Yna gwaeddodd Dafydd ar y milwyr, ac ar Abner fab Ner, a dweud, "Pam nad wyt ti'n ateb, Abner fab Ner?" Atebodd Abner, "Pwy wyt ti, sy'n gweiddi ar y brenin?"

¹⁵David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.

¹⁵ Ac meddai Dafydd wrth Abner, "Onid wyt ti'n ddyn? Pwy sydd debyg i ti yn Israel? Pam ynteu na fyddit wedi gwarchod dy feistr, y brenin, pan ddaeth rhywun i'w ladd?

¹⁶This thing isn’t good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.”

¹⁶ Nid da yw'r peth hwn a wnaethost; cyn wired � bod yr ARGLWYDD yn fyw, yr ydych yn wir yn haeddu marw am beidio � gwarchod eich meistr, eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD. Edrych yn awr; ple mae gwaywffon y brenin, a'r gostrel ddu373?r oedd wrth ei ben?"

¹⁷Saul knew David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”

¹⁷ Adnabu Saul lais Dafydd, a dywedodd, "Ai dy lais di ydyw, fy mab Dafydd?" Atebodd Dafydd, "Ie, f'arglwydd frenin."

¹⁸He said, “Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?

¹⁸ Ychwanegodd, "Pam y mae f'arglwydd yn erlid ei was? Beth a wneuthum, a pha ddrwg sydd ynof?

¹⁹Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn’t cling to Yahweh’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’

¹⁹ Gwrandawed f'arglwydd frenin yn awr ar eiriau ei was. Os yr ARGLWYDD sydd wedi dy annog i'm herbyn, derbynied offrwm; ond os bodau meidrol, bydded iddynt fod dan felltith gerbron yr ARGLWYDD, am iddynt fy ngyrru allan heddiw rhag cael fy rhan yn etifeddiaeth yr ARGLWYDD, a dweud, 'Dos, addola dduwiau eraill.'

²⁰Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

²⁰ Paid � gadael i'm gwaed ddisgyn i'r ddaear allan o bresenoldeb yr ARGLWYDD; oherwydd fe ddaeth brenin Israel allan i geisio chwannen, fel un yn hela petrisen mynydd."

²¹Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”

²¹ Ac meddai Saul, "Yr wyf ar fai; tyrd yn �l, fy mab Dafydd, oherwydd ni wnaf niwed iti eto, am i'm bywyd fod yn werthfawr yn dy olwg heddiw. B�m yn ynfyd, a chyfeiliornais yn enbyd."

²²David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Then let one of the young men come over and get it.

²² Yna atebodd Dafydd, "Dyma'r waywffon, O frenin; gad i un o'r llanciau ddod drosodd i'w chymryd.

²³Yahweh will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn’t put forth my hand against Yahweh’s anointed.

²³ Y mae'r ARGLWYDD yn talu'n �l i bob un am ei gyfiawnder a'i ffyddlondeb; oherwydd fe roddodd yr ARGLWYDD di yn fy llaw heddiw, ond nid oeddwn am estyn fy llaw yn erbyn eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD.

²⁴Behold, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of Yahweh, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”

²⁴ Fel y bu dy einioes di yn werthfawr yn fy ngolwg i heddiw, bydded f'einioes innau yn werthfawr yng ngolwg yr ARGLWYDD, i'm hachub o bob cyni."

²⁵Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You shall both do mightily, and shall surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.

²⁵ Dywedodd Saul wrth Ddafydd, "Bendith arnat, fy mab Dafydd; fe wnei di orchestion a llwyddo." Wedi hynny aeth Dafydd i ffwrdd, a dychwelodd Saul adref.
