¹Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.

¹ Aeth Samson i Timna, ac yno sylwodd ar un o ferched y Philistiaid.

²He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me as wife.”

² Pan ddychwelodd, dywedodd wrth ei dad a'i fam, "Yr wyf wedi gweld un o ferched y Philistiaid yn Timna; cymerwch honno'n wraig imi."

³Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me; for she pleases me well.”

³ Ac meddai ei dad a'i fam wrtho, "Onid oes gwraig iti ymhlith merched dy gymrodyr a'th holl geraint? Pam yr ei i geisio gwraig o blith y Philistiaid dienwaededig?" Ond dywedodd Samson wrth ei dad, "Cymer honno imi, oherwydd hi sydd wrth fy modd."

⁴But his father and his mother didn’t know that it was of Yahweh; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.

⁴ Ni wyddai ei dad a'i fam mai oddi wrth yr ARGLWYDD yr oedd hyn, ac mai ceisio achos yn erbyn y Philistiaid yr oedd ef. Yr adeg honno y Philistiaid oedd yn arglwyddiaethu ar Israel.

⁵Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and behold, a young lion roared against him.

⁵ Aeth Samson i lawr gyda'i dad a'i fam i Timna, a phan gyrhaeddodd winllannoedd Timna, daeth llew ifanc i'w gyfarfod dan ruo.

⁶The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat; and he had nothing in his hand: but he didn’t tell his father or his mother what he had done.

⁶ Disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD ar Samson, a holltodd y llew ifanc fel hollti myn, heb ddim yn ei law; ond ni ddywedodd wrth ei rieni beth a wnaeth.

⁷He went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.

⁷ Yna aeth Samson yn ei flaen i siarad gyda'r ferch, a'i chael wrth ei fodd.

⁸After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.

⁸ Pan ddych-welodd ymhen amser i'w phriodi, trodd i edrych ar ysgerbwd y llew, a dyna lle'r oedd haid o wenyn a m�l y tu mewn i'r corff.

⁹He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate: but he didn’t tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.

⁹ Cymerodd beth o'r m�l yn ei law, ac aeth yn ei flaen dan fwyta, nes dod at ei dad a'i fam; rhoddodd beth hefyd iddynt hwy i'w fwyta, heb ddweud wrthynt mai o gorff y llew y daeth y m�l.

¹⁰His father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

¹⁰ Aeth ei dad i lawr at y ferch, a gwnaeth Samson wledd yno yn �l arfer y gwu375?r ifainc.

¹¹It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

¹¹ Pan welsant ef, dewiswyd deg ar hugain o gyfeillion i gadw cwmni iddo.

¹²Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;

¹² Ac meddai Samson wrthynt, "Yr wyf am osod pos i chwi; os llwyddwch i'w ateb yn gywir yn ystod saith diwrnod y wledd, rhof i chwi ddeg darn ar hugain o frethyn a deg siwt ar hugain o ddillad.

¹³but if you can’t declare it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it.”

¹³ Ond os methwch roi'r ateb imi, rhaid i chwi roi i mi ddeg darn ar hugain o frethyn a deg siwt ar hugain o ddillad."

¹⁴He said to them, “Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.

¹⁴ Dywedasant wrtho, "Mynega dy bos, inni ei glywed." A dywedodd wrthynt: "o'r bwytawr fe ddaeth bwyd, ac o'r cryf fe ddaeth melystra." Am dridiau buont yn methu ateb y pos.

¹⁵It happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Is it not so?”

¹⁵ Ar y pedwerydd dydd dywedasant wrth wraig Samson, "Huda dy u373?r i ddatgelu'r pos inni, neu fe'th losgwn di a'th deulu. Ai er mwyn ein tlodi y rhoesoch wahoddiad inni yma?"

¹⁶Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?”

¹⁶ Aeth gwraig Samson ato yn ei dagrau a dweud, "Fy nghas�u yr wyt ti, nid fy ngharu; rwyt wedi gosod pos i lanciau fy mhobl heb ei egluro i mi." Ac meddai yntau, "Nid wyf wedi ei egluro i'm tad a'm mam; pam yr eglurwn ef i ti?"

¹⁷She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

¹⁷ Bu'n wylo wrtho trwy gydol y saith diwrnod y cynhaliwyd y wledd, ac ar y seithfed dydd fe'i heglurodd iddi, am ei bod wedi ei flino. Eglurodd hithau'r pos i lanciau ei phobl.

¹⁸The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you hadn’t plowed with my heifer, you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”

¹⁸ A dywedodd dynion y dref wrtho ar y seithfed diwrnod, cyn i'r haul fachlud: "Beth sy'n felysach na m�l, a beth sy'n gryfach na llew?" Dywedodd yntau wrthynt: "Oni bai i chwi aredig �'m heffer, ni fyddech wedi datrys fy mhos."

¹⁹The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.

¹⁹ Yna disgynnodd ysbryd yr ARGLWYDD arno, aeth i lawr i Ascalon a lladdodd ddeg ar hugain o ddynion. Cymerodd eu gwisgoedd a rhoi'r siwtiau i'r rhai a atebodd y pos, ond yr oedd wedi digio'n enbyd ac aeth yn ei �l adref.

²⁰But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.

²⁰ Rhoddwyd gwraig Samson i'w gyfaill, a fu'n was priodas iddo.
