Cy: Mae Gwilym, garddwr balch y pentref, yn sefyll yn ei ardd.
En: Gwilym, the proud gardener of the village, stands in his garden.
Cy: Mae’r coed yn disgleirio’n aur a choch, ac mae’r awyrgylch yn llythryn a glaswellt Autumn yn berffaith.
En: The trees are shimmering in gold and red, and the atmosphere is wonderfully autumnal.
Cy: Gwilym yw'r gŵr ifanc sy'n gobeithio ennill cystadleuaeth pwmpenni'r pentref eleni.
En: Gwilym is the young man hoping to win the village's pumpkin competition this year.
Cy: Yn flynyddol, mae’r pentrefwyr yn meirw a chodi waliau o bêds crefftus a choleuadau wedi'u lloriau am y gŵyl ddigwyddiad blynyddol.
En: Annually, the villagers hustle to build creative displays and lights for this festive annual event.
Cy: Ond troeon y flwyddyn hon yn wahanol.
En: But this year's circumstances are different.
Cy: Er bod Gwilym wedi tyfu pwmpen arall, mae wedi sylwi nawr ei bod yn gymharol fychan.
En: Although Gwilym has grown another pumpkin, he now notices that it's relatively small.
Cy: Mae'n cofio dan ddinistriad 🤦♂️: roedd wedi cymysgu hadau pwmpen â’r tomato!
En: He remembers with frustration 🤦♂️ that he had mixed pumpkin seeds with tomato seeds!
Cy: Mae Carys, ei ffrind o blentyndod, yn gwybod am hoffter Gwilym gyda garddwriaeth.
En: Carys, his childhood friend, knows about Gwilym's passion for gardening.
Cy: Er bob blynedd mae hi wedi curo Gwilym yn y gystadleuaeth ychydig.
En: Although every year she has beaten Gwilym in the competition by a little.
Cy: Y tro hwn, mae hi'n gwybod na fydd yn rhwydd iddo ef.
En: This time, she knows it won't be easy for him.
Cy: Ac eto, mae'n parhau i gymryd rhan.
En: Yet, he continues to take part.
Cy: Yna mae Eira, newyddiadurwr chwilfrydig, yn cyrraedd i gofnodi cystadleuaeth pwmpenni'r pentref.
En: Then Eira, a curious journalist, arrives to cover the village's pumpkin competition.
Cy: Mae'n gyffrous iawn i ddogfennu'r miri sy'n britho'r pentref ar y diwrnod mawr.
En: She is very excited to document the merriment that fills the village on the big day.
Cy: Dyma yw ei swydd gyntaf yn y papur lleol, felly mae hi'n dangos brwdfrydedd cryf.
En: This is her first assignment for the local paper, so she shows great enthusiasm.
Cy: Ar fore'r gystadleuaeth, mae trefnwyr y pentref yn gosod pwmpenni o gwmpas y maes.
En: On the morning of the competition, the village organizers set up pumpkins around the field.
Cy: Mae Eira'n dechrau tynnu lluniau ac yn dod ar draws pwmpen Gwilym.
En: Eira starts taking photos and comes across Gwilym's pumpkin.
Cy: Mae'r pwmpen mor fach, mae'n rhaid i bawb gynnau chwerthin.
En: The pumpkin is so small that everyone can't help but laugh.
Cy: Eira’n synnu at yr olygfa; mae hi'n tynnu llun heb i Gwilym sylwi pryd hynny.
En: Eira is surprised at the scene; she captures a photo without Gwilym noticing at the time.
Cy: Ond ei champ amheus yw'r llun sy'n mynd ar-lein i ffocws canolog yn yr erthygl: "Pwmpen Gwylitaf y Flwyddyn!"
En: But her mischievous feat is the picture going online as the central focus in the article: "Year's Funniest Pumpkin!"
Cy: Mae Gwilym yn ei weld ac mae'n cael yr opsiwn i guddio'r pwmpen neu chwerthin gyda'r pentref.
En: Gwilym sees it and has the choice to hide the pumpkin or laugh along with the village.
Cy: Mae'n ddiweddaraf yn dewis i wneud yr olaf, gan benderfynu chwerthin ei hun.
En: He ultimately chooses the latter, deciding to laugh at himself.
Cy: Pan ddaw’n amser y gystadleuaeth, mae Gwilym yn cerdded i mewn gyda'i bwmpen bychan.
En: When the time for the competition comes, Gwilym walks in with his tiny pumpkin.
Cy: Y pentref yn fwrlwm chwerthin, ac mae paff imlygrwydd o hyd yn ei gwmpasu.
En: The village is abuzz with laughter, and a puff of mischief still surrounds him.
Cy: Wedi i'r chwerthin setlo, dyma fe Syrio, y penodiadwr, yn cyhoeddi Gwilym fel enillydd y wobr "Ymgeisydd Gwâr."
En: After the laughter subsides, Syrio, the announcer, declares Gwilym the winner of the "Gracious Participant" award.
Cy: Dyma foment gorddi yn llawn clod ac edmygedd o'r foment gân y pentref.
En: This is a thrilling moment full of praise and admiration from the heart of the village.
Cy: Gwilym yn gwybod pwysigrwydd cynnil chwerthin, a dyma'n dod â chyfeillgarwch newydd gydag Eira.
En: Gwilym knows the subtle importance of laughter, and it brings a new friendship with Eira.
Cy: Deallodd nad yw ymladd i fod orau'n bwysicach na'r sylw a'r gwasanaeth i'r gymuned.
En: He realized that striving to be the best isn't as important as contributing to the community.
Cy: Tra nad yw wedi ennill y gystadleuaeth ar ei ffurf draddodiadol, enillodd rhywbeth llawer mwy gwerthfawr: gwerth ei hun.
En: While he didn't win the competition in its traditional form, he gained something much more valuable: self-worth.
Cy: Mae Carys a Gwilym yn sicrhau bod cyfeillgarwch o werth penna'r arddangosfa, ac yn cofio bod gwerthoedd pentref bychan yn rheol o ddydd i ddydd.
En: Carys and Gwilym ensure that the friendship is the centerpiece of the display, remembering that the values of a small village rule day by day.

En: "Rhys," said Cerys, as they roamed the path, "the views are great, aren't they?"
Cy: "Gwenodd Rhys, ond ei feddwl oedd ar y llwybr anodd o'i flaen.
En: Rhys smiled, but his mind was on the difficult path ahead.
Cy: "Ydy, mae'n anhygoel," atebodd, gan geisio cuddio'i bryder.
En: "Yes, it's amazing," he replied, trying to hide his concern.
Cy: Roedd Cerys yn sefyll ychydig o flaen, tra roedd Rhys yn edrych ar fap yn ei law.
En: Cerys was standing a little ahead, while Rhys was looking at a map in his hand.
Cy: "Beth am fynd i'r llwybr anoddach hwn?
En: "How about taking this more challenging path?"
Cy: " gofynnodd yn y diwedd, gan ddangos map i Gerys.
En: he suggested finally, showing the map to Cerys.
Cy: "Os wyt ti'n hyderus, Rhys," cydsyniodd Cerys, heb feddwl dim am ei broblemau posibl.
En: "If you’re confident, Rhys," Cerys agreed, without thinking much of his possible troubles.
Cy: Roedd hi mewn gwirionedd wrth ei bodd yn gweld Rhys mor llawn brwdfrydedd.
En: She was genuinely delighted to see Rhys so enthusiastic.
Cy: Wrth iddynt ddringo'r llwybr glaswelltog, dechreuodd Rhys deimlo'r gorlwythiad.
En: As they climbed the grassy path, Rhys began to feel overwhelmed.
Cy: Roedd ei anadl yn dod yn gyflymach, ond roedd yn dal i wthio ymlaen, gan wenu trwy'r anhawster.
En: His breathing came faster, but he continued to push on, smiling through the difficulty.
Cy: Roedd y llwybrau'n dechrau mynd yn fwy garw, ac roedd Rhys yn dechrau amau'i benderfyniad.
En: The paths were starting to become rougher, and Rhys began to doubt his decision.
Cy: Safodd Cerys wrth ymyl egin bedw, ei llygaid yn dangos cymeradwyaeth wrth edrych allan dros yr arfordir eang o goed.
En: Cerys stood by a birch sapling, her eyes showing approval as she looked out over the expansive coastline of trees.
Cy: "Rydym wedi cyrraedd y copa," gwaeddodd.
En: "We've reached the summit," she shouted.
Cy: Serch hyn, teimlai Rhys y synnwyr o syrthni.
En: Despite this, Rhys felt a sense of fatigue.
Cy: Mae'r haul yn dechrau machlud, gwyrddlas yn cymysgu â'r awyr las tywyll yn prysur a'r awyr wedi'i stafellnu yn hudolus gyda niwl.
En: The sun began to set, with green blending with the quickly darkening blue sky, and the air was magically layered with mist.
Cy: "Rhys, rhaid inni symud, nid yw'r nos yn bell ymaith," soniodd Cerys gyda daeriad llon.
En: "Rhys, we need to move; night isn't far off," Cerys mentioned with cheerful insistence.
Cy: Roedd hi'n sylweddoli annhwylltiad Rhys ond heb grynhan ddweud wrthyn.
En: She realized Rhys's unease but didn't feel the need to address it directly.
Cy: Wrth iddynt symud i lawr dechreuodd Rhys gytuno ei hun: nid yw'n bwysig i hyrddio treial ar ei gilydd, ond i rannu rhai profiadau gyda rhywun gwerthfawr.
En: As they moved down, Rhys started to reconcile within himself: it's not important to force trials upon each other, but to share experiences with someone valuable.
Cy: Cenedl rhai goleuni, ffurfiodd stondin o niwl trwchus, ac roedd y noswyl o Halloween yn rhoi bwrlwm i'r daith iadol olaf, ond roedd cyfeillgarwch Rhys a Cerys yn goleuo fel fflach lamp yng ngolau'r lleuad efydd.
En: As a nation of some light, a stand of thick mist formed, and the eve of Halloween added a thrill to the final ideal journey, but Rhys and Cerys's companionship shone like a flashlight in the light of the bronze moon.
Cy: Pan cyrhaeddasant y gwaelod yn ddiogel, roedd Rhys wedi newid ei wyneb.
En: When they reached the bottom safely, Rhys had changed his outlook.
Cy: Roedd yn gwybod yn awr bod cymdeithas gyda Cerys, a'r memories hyfryd hynny, yn bwysicach nag argraffiadau bras.
En: He knew now that companionship with Cerys, and those lovely memories, were more important than broad impressions.
Cy: "Braf oedd hwn," awgrymodd Cerys yn falch.
En: "That was nice," suggested Cerys proudly.
Cy: Roedd gan Rhys ymdeimlad o ddiolchgarwch.
En: Rhys felt a sense of gratitude.
Cy: Roedd ef yn ddiolchgar am ystyrio gwerth teithio gyda dy frindiau, a bod ei wir bresenoldeb yn bwysicach na'i ffurfiau perfformiad.
En: He was thankful for considering the value of traveling with friends, and that his true presence was more important than his forms of performance.
