¹It happened after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag;

¹ Ar �l marwolaeth Saul dychwelodd Dafydd o daro'r Amaleciaid, ac aros ddeuddydd yn Siclag.

²it happened on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and showed respect.

² Ar y trydydd dydd cyrhaeddodd dyn o wersyll Saul a'i ddillad wedi eu rhwygo a phridd ar ei ben. Daeth at Ddafydd, syrthiodd o'i flaen a moesymgrymu.

³David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”

³ Gofynnodd Dafydd iddo, "O ble y daethost?" Atebodd yntau, "Wedi dianc o wersyll Israel yr wyf."

⁴David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”

⁴ Dywedodd Dafydd wrtho, "Dywed wrthyf sut y bu pethau." Adroddodd yntau fel y bu i'r bobl ffoi o'r frwydr, a bod llawer ohonynt wedi syrthio a marw, a bod Saul a'i fab Jonathan hefyd wedi marw.

⁵David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”

⁵ Gofynnodd Dafydd i'r llanc oedd yn adrodd yr hanes wrtho, "Sut y gwyddost ti fod Saul a'i fab Jonathan wedi marw?"

⁶The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.

⁶ Ac meddai'r llanc oedd yn dweud yr hanes wrtho, "Yr oeddwn yn digwydd bod ar Fynydd Gilboa, a dyna lle'r oedd Saul yn pwyso ar ei waywffon, a'r cerbydau a'r marchogion yn cau amdano.

⁷When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’

⁷ Wrth iddo droi fe'm gwelodd i, a galw arnaf. 'Dyma fi,' meddwn innau.

⁸He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

⁸ Gofynnodd i mi, 'Pwy wyt ti?' Atebais innau, 'Amaleciad.'

⁹He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.’

⁹ Yna dywedodd wrthyf, 'Tyrd yma a lladd fi, oherwydd y mae gwendid wedi cydio ynof, er bod bywyd yn dal ynof.'

¹⁰So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”

¹⁰ Felly euthum ato a'i ladd, oherwydd gwyddwn na fyddai fyw wedi iddo gwympo. Cymerais y goron oedd ar ei ben a'r freichled oedd am ei fraich, a deuthum � hwy yma at f'arglwydd."

¹¹Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him.

¹¹ Gafaelodd Dafydd yn ei wisg a'i rhwygo, a gwnaeth yr holl ddynion oedd gydag ef yr un modd;

¹²They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

¹² a buont yn galaru, yn wylo ac yn ymprydio hyd yr hwyr dros Saul a'i fab Jonathan, a hefyd dros bobl yr ARGLWYDD a thu375? Israel, am eu bod wedi syrthio drwy'r cleddyf.

¹³David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”

¹³ Holodd Dafydd y llanc a ddaeth �'r newydd, "Un o ble wyt ti?" Atebodd yntau, "Mab i Amaleciad a ddaeth yma i fyw wyf fi."

¹⁴David said to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy Yahweh’s anointed?”

¹⁴ Ac meddai Dafydd wrtho, "Sut na fyddai arnat ofn estyn dy law i ddistrywio eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD?"

¹⁵David called one of the young men, and said, “Go near, and fall on him.” He struck him, so that he died.

¹⁵ Yna galwodd Dafydd ar un o'r llanciau a dweud, "Tyrd, rho ergyd iddo!" Trawodd yntau ef, a bu farw.

¹⁶David said to him, “Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain Yahweh’s anointed.’”

¹⁶ Yr oedd Dafydd wedi dweud wrtho, "Bydded dy waed ar dy ben di dy hun; tystiodd dy enau dy hun yn dy erbyn pan ddywedaist, 'Myfi a laddodd eneiniog yr ARGLWYDD'."

¹⁷David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son

¹⁷ Canodd Dafydd yr alarnad hon am Saul a'i fab Jonathan,

¹⁸(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

¹⁸ a gorchymyn ei dysgu i'r Jwdeaid. Y mae wedi ei hysgrifennu yn Llyfr Jasar:

¹⁹“Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

¹⁹ "O ardderchowgrwydd Israel, a drywanwyd ar dy uchelfannau! O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn!

²⁰Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

²⁰ "Peidiwch �'i adrodd yn Gath, na'i gyhoeddi ar strydoedd Ascalon, rhag i ferched y Philistiaid lawenhau, rhag i ferched y dienwaededig orfoleddu.

²¹You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

²¹ "O fynyddoedd Gilboa, na foed gwlith na glaw arnoch, chwi feysydd marwolaeth. Canys yno yr halogwyd tarian y cedyrn, tarian Saul heb ei hiro ag olew.

²²From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.

²² "Oddi wrth waed lladdedigion, oddi wrth fraster rhai cedyrn, ni throdd bwa Jonathan erioed yn �l; a chleddyf Saul ni ddychwelai'n wag.

²³Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

²³ "Saul a Jonathan, yr anwylaf a'r hyfrytaf o wu375?r, yn eu bywyd ac yn eu hangau ni wahanwyd hwy; cyflymach nag eryrod oeddent, a chryfach na llewod.

²⁴You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet delicately, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.

²⁴ "O ferched Israel, wylwch am Saul, a fyddai'n eich gwisgo'n foethus mewn ysgarlad, ac yn rhoi gemau aur ar eich gwisg.

²⁵How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places.

²⁵ "O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn yng nghanol y frwydr! lladdwyd Jonathan ar dy uchelfannau.

²⁶I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

²⁶ "Gofidus wyf amdanat, fy mrawd Jonathan; buost yn annwyl iawn gennyf; yr oedd dy gariad tuag ataf yn rhyfeddol, y tu hwnt i gariad gwragedd.

²⁷How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”

²⁷ "O fel y cwympodd y cedyrn, ac y difethwyd arfau rhyfel!"
