Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae'r haul hwyr yr haf yn bwrw golau cynnes dros gaeau’r ysgol uwchradd wrth i fyfyrwyr ruthro heibio, gyda chynnwrf y gem fawr ar wefusau pawb.
En: The late summer sun cast a warm light over the fields of the ysgol uwchradd, as students rushed by, the excitement of the big game on everyone's lips.

Cy: Roedd Branwen yn sefyll yn y coridor prysur, ei llygaid yn canolbwyntio ar y nod clir: datrys dirgelwch pwysig iawn, dirgelwch a oedd yn angherddol i ysgol gyfan: diflaniad gwisg y masgot.
En: Branwen stood in the busy corridor, her eyes focused on a clear goal: solving a very important mystery, a mystery that intrigued the entire school: the disappearance of the mascot's costume.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, y masgot caredig ond trapsglud, yn bryderus iawn.
En: Gareth, the beloved but clumsy mascot, was very anxious.

Cy: Byddai’r gêm hebddo yn ergyd drom i’r ysgol.
En: The game without him would be a heavy blow to the school.

Cy: Roedd ei feddyliau’n cuddio y tu ôl ei lygaid gwyllt, ond roedd Branwen yn gweld hynny.
En: His thoughts were hidden behind his wild eyes, but Branwen could see it.

Cy: Roedd hi’n berson sy’n gweld popeth.
En: She was someone who noticed everything.

Cy: Felly, penderfynodd Branwen gyda chymorth ei ffrind orau, Rhiannon, ymchwilio i’r mater gan ddefnyddio’r flwyddyn uchaf ei gallu.
En: So, Branwen decided, with the help of her best friend, Rhiannon, to investigate the matter using the full extent of their abilities.

Cy: "Fe wnawn ni ddarganfod, Gareth," meddai Branwen, yn cymryd anadl ddofn.
En: "We will find out, Gareth," said Branwen, taking a deep breath.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yno hefyd, ychydig yn amheus, ond yn barod i gefnogi eu hymdrechion.
En: Rhiannon was there too, a little skeptical, but ready to support their efforts.

Cy: "Ond bydd raid i ni fynd â’r ymdrech hon o ddifrif.
En: "But we'll have to take this effort seriously."

Cy: "Ers wythnosau, roedd pawb wedi bod yn sôn am y gem a oedd i ddod.
En: For weeks, everyone had been talking about the upcoming game.

Cy: Roedd hi’n uchafbwynt tymor yr haf.
En: It was the highlight of the summer season.

Cy: Heb y masgot, roedd yr ysbryd yn y dirlawnder.
En: Without the mascot, the spirit was deflated.

Cy: Felly, penderfynodd Branwen a Rhiannon sgipio ymarfer corff am unwaith ac ymuno â Gareth i ymchwilio.
En: So, Branwen and Rhiannon decided to skip gym practice for once and join Gareth to investigate.

Cy: Wrth iddynt fynd trwy wahanol gorneli’r ysgol, fe wnaethant stopio ger yr hen ystafell storio, man lle na fyddai neb yn meddwl edrych.
En: As they went through different corners of the school, they stopped near the old storage room, a place where no one would think to look.

Cy: Yn sydyn, canfu Branwen ffabrig rhwygo yn y drws.
En: Suddenly, Branwen found torn fabric at the door.

Cy: Roedd hi'n ddarn o’r wisg masgot - ei sbin sydd fel cydio mewn cyfrinach.
En: It was a piece of the mascot costume - a spin like holding a secret.

Cy: Roedd y darn hwn yn arwydd i’w dilyn.
En: This piece was a clue to follow.

Cy: Wrth i Branwen roi'r darn yn ei phoced, clywiasant gamau traed yn agosáu, gan wneud i’w calonnau guro’n gyflym.
En: As Branwen put the piece in her pocket, they heard footsteps approaching, making their hearts beat quickly.

Cy: Ond roedd hi'n rhy hwyr i gamu yn ôl.
En: But it was too late to step back.

Cy: Fe sylweddolodd Branwen yn gyflym mai eu gweld oedd rhaid.
En: Branwen quickly realized they needed to face whatever was coming.

Cy: "Rydyn ni’n dod o hyd i hyn, a dyna fydd yn gwneud iawn am hyn," meddai Branwen, yn troi i Gareth ac yna Rhiannon.
En: "We're finding this, and that's what will make up for it," said Branwen, turning to Gareth and then Rhiannon.

Cy: Roedd moment o wefr yn dod â phenderfyniad newydd i’r amlwg.
En: A moment of exhilaration brought a new determination to light.

Cy: Fe ddychwelodd y tri i ganol y digwyddiadau y diwrnod cynt, lle roedd ysgol gyferbyn wedi trefnu cyfarfod gyda’r trefnwyr.
En: The trio returned to the events of the previous day, where a neighboring school had organized a meeting with the organizers.

Cy: Sylweddolodd Branwen fod un o’r myfyrwyr hynny, yn gwbl ddiniwed wrth un golwg, wedi bod yn cuddio’r darn o honno er mwyn chwarae tric.
En: Branwen realized that one of those students, seemingly innocent at first glance, had been hiding the piece as a prank.

Cy: O ymdrech ddiflino a dewrder, dychwelodd Branwen y gwisg yn brydlon i Gareth i’w wisgo.
En: With tireless effort and bravery, Branwen promptly returned the costume to Gareth to wear.

Cy: Roedd y masgot yn dod yn fyw wrth iddo ddod allan ar y cae, mae’r plant yn gweiddi’n llawen.
En: The mascot came to life as he emerged onto the field, with the kids cheering joyously.

Cy: Gyda’r gêm yn nesáu, a’r ysgol bellach mor fywiog â'r haul, roedd Branwen yn gwybod bod dim byd yn amhosib pan fydd y galon a'r meddwl ar y cyd.
En: With the game approaching, and the school now as lively as the sun, Branwen knew that nothing was impossible when the heart and mind worked together.

Cy: Cafodd ei chydnabod am ei hymdrechion, ac ymhiliodd hi i glybiau dealltwchan yr ysgol.
En: She was acknowledged for her efforts and was welcomed into the school's intelligence clubs.

Cy: Wrth adael y cae, nawr yn hyderus gyda gwybod y gall ddatrys unrhyw ddirgelwch, gwelodd Branwen bod dyfodol llesniol yn aros iddi.
En: As she left the field, now confident with the knowledge that she could solve any mystery, Branwen saw a bright future awaiting her.

Cy: Roedd hi’n gwybod, beth bynnag fyddai'n dod, ei bod hi erioed wedi bod mor barod.
En: She knew, whatever would come, that she had never been so ready.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd haf yn y coedwig gudd, lle'r oedd y dail gwyrddlas yn dechrau sibrwd gyda'r gwynt ysgafn.
En: It was summer in the hidden forest, where the greenish-blue leaves began to whisper with the gentle wind.

Cy: Yn ganol y coedwig, dyma lechi Emlyn y labordy cyfrinachol.
En: In the middle of the forest, Emlyn's secret laboratory was located.

Cy: Roedd ei daid, gwyddonwr ecsentrig, wedi adeiladu hwn flynyddoedd yn ôl, yn llawn peiriannau hen ffasiwn a dyfeisiadau rhyfedd.
En: His grandfather, an eccentric scientist, had built it years ago, filled with old-fashioned machines and strange inventions.

Cy: Amledd y peiriannau yn asio â swyn y coed.
En: The hum of the machines blended with the enchantment of the trees.

Cy: Roedd Emlyn ar genhadaeth beryglus: darganfod fformwla cryptig a allai newid cwrs esblygiad dynol.
En: Emlyn was on a dangerous mission: to discover a cryptic formula that could change the course of human evolution.

Cy: Roedd y fformwla hon wedi ei cuddio’n ofalus gan ei daid, y dyn dieithr a wyddai gormod am y dyfodol.
En: This formula had been carefully hidden by his grandfather, the stranger who knew too much about the future.

Cy: Ond nid oedd Emlyn ar ei ben ei hun; roedd Carys a Gwyn, ei gyd-ymchwilwyr, wrth ei ochr.
En: But Emlyn was not alone; Carys and Gwyn, his fellow researchers, were by his side.

Cy: Roedd rhaid iddo ddibynnu arnynt, er bod y risg o frad bob amser yn cael ei hystyried.
En: He had to rely on them, even though the risk of betrayal was always considered.

Cy: Wrth iddynt fynd i mewn i'r labordy, roedd yr ystafelloedd yn dywyll a’r awyr yn llawn esmwyth o lyfrau lliw a phapurau.
En: As they entered the laboratory, the rooms were dark and the air filled smoothly with colorful books and papers.

Cy: Roedd peiriannau anhygoel yma ac acw, yn gwylltio gyda'r fedrusrwydd o'i daid.
En: There were incredible machines here and there, crafted with his grandfather's skill.

Cy: Ond roedd y llwybrau yn dan warchodaeth riddfeydd a systemau diogelwch cymhleth.
En: But the paths were under the protection of riddles and complex security systems.

Cy: Daeth y grŵp a lwyddo drwy'r problemau hynny, gan ddefnyddio gwybodaeth a chyfeillgarwch i ddatrys pob cyfrinach.
En: The group succeeded in overcoming those challenges, using knowledge and friendship to solve every mystery.

Cy: Ar y diwedd, roeddem yn sefyll o flaen y siambr olaf.
En: In the end, they stood before the final chamber.

Cy: Wrth edrych ar y drws mawr, arhosai Emlyn am eiliad.
En: Looking at the large door, Emlyn paused for a moment.

Cy: Roedd hwn yn foment tyngedfennol.
En: This was a crucial moment.

Cy: Pe bai'n cadw'r fformwla, gallai wneud enw i'w hunan a gadael enwogrwydd gwyddonol.
En: If he kept the formula, he could make a name for himself and achieve scientific fame.

Cy: Ond beth pe bai'r pŵer hwn yn syrthio i'r dwylo anghywir?
En: But what if this power fell into the wrong hands?

Cy: Gydag ysbrydiaeth sydyn, difethaodd Emlyn y fformwla.
En: With sudden inspiration, Emlyn destroyed the formula.

Cy: Deallai nad oedd enw da nac arian yn werth perygl cynhenid y fformwla.
En: He understood that reputation and money were not worth the inherent danger of the formula.

Cy: Trwy wneud hynny, rhyddhaodd gweddill y labordy, gan ddangos parch tuag at holl gyflawniadau arbennig ei hen daid.
En: By doing so, he liberated the rest of the laboratory, demonstrating respect towards all the extraordinary achievements of his late grandfather.

Cy: Mae Emlyn bellach yn gwyddonwr aeddfed, gyda mwy o werth ynglŷn â moeseg a chyfrifoldeb.
En: Emlyn is now a mature scientist, valuing ethics and responsibility.

Cy: Mae wedi dysgu bod pŵer yn galw am gyfrifoldeb mawr, ac o'r coedwig breuddwydiol hynny, mae'n marchio ymlaen, yn fwy doeth a chyfiawn nag erioed o’r blaen.
En: He has learned that power calls for great responsibility, and from those dreamlike woods, he marches forward, wiser and more just than ever before.

En: But Carys looks doubtful, with a lot of worry and doubts.

Cy: "Aled, a ydym wedi sicrhau bod gennym bopeth?
En: "Aled, have we made sure that we have everything?

Cy: Mae angen i ni wirio’r moddau, trefnu ein llwybr yn ofalus," mae hi'n dweud, ei llais yn pwyllog ond egnïol.
En: We need to check our gear, carefully plan our route," she says, her voice calm but energetic.

Cy: "Mae angen i ni wybod beth fydd y tywydd hefyd.
En: "We also need to know what the weather will be like.

Cy: Does dim crys dal dŵr sydd gennyf!
En: I don't have a waterproof jacket!"

Cy: "Mae Aled yn chwerthin yn ysgafn ond yn gweld pwynt Carys.
En: Aled chuckles lightly but sees Carys's point.

Cy: "Carys, rwy'n gwerthfawrogi hynny, ond weithiau mae'n rhaid byw yn yr eiliad," meddai ef, wrth symud ymlaen i daro'r bwrdd gyda'i fys.
En: "Carys, I appreciate that, but sometimes we have to live in the moment," he says, tapping the table with his finger.

Cy: "Mae poeni am bopeth yn fy nhwyllo o'r profiad mwyaf.
En: "Worrying about everything robs me of the greatest experience."

Cy: " Mae Carys yn gwybod bod Aled yn iawn mewn un ddimensiwn ond mae hi'n dweud, "Aled, rwy'n mwynhau antur hefyd.
En: Carys knows Aled is right in one dimension, but she says, "Aled, I enjoy adventure too.

Cy: Ond mae'n rhaid i ni fod yn ddiogel.
En: But we need to be safe.

Cy: Gall rhywbeth bach droi yn fawr.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y haf, roedd pentref bychan yn Snowdonia yn llawn bywiogrwydd.
En: In the summer, a small village in Snowdonia was full of vitality.

Cy: Ar stryd dawel, roedd siop de Carys yn cynnig lloches lle gallai pobl ymgynnull i fwynhau te heintus a phastai cartrefol.
En: On a quiet street, Carys's tea shop offered a refuge where people could gather to enjoy infectious tea and homely pastries.

Cy: Gyda’i chadeiriau gwahanol, trawstiau pren, a golygfeydd trawiadol o’r bryniau a’r grug lliwgar oddi allan, roedd awyrgylch croesawgar a chynnes.
En: With its mismatched chairs, wooden beams, and stunning views of the hills and colorful heather outside, it had a welcoming and warm atmosphere.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn ymweld â’r siop bron bob dydd.
En: Emrys visited the shop almost every day.

Cy: Roedd yn fardd lleol ond roedd wedi cyffroi gyda bloc creadigol.
En: He was a local poet but was dealing with a creative block.

Cy: Roedd arno eisiau ysbrydoliaeth mewn rhywle newydd.
En: He wanted inspiration in a new place.

Cy: Treuliai oriau mewn cornel, gyda llyfr nodiadau gwag o’i flaen.
En: He would spend hours in a corner, with an empty notebook in front of him.

Cy: Ond roedd Emrys yn parhau i fod yn ansicr.
En: But Emrys continued to be uncertain.

Cy: Ai bardd oedd yntau, neu dim ond rhywun ifanc a oedd wedi colli gafael ar ei eiriau?
En: Was he truly a poet, or just a young man who had lost his grasp on words?

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn gymraes ifanc yn archwilio ei hetifeddiaeth Gymreig.
En: Rhiannon was a young Welsh woman exploring her Welsh heritage.

Cy: Roedd ei ffordd wedi dod â hi i bentref a olygai gymaint i’w teulu yn y gorffennol.
En: Her journey had brought her to a village that meant so much to her family in the past.

Cy: Roedd y pentref yn annisgwyl wedi dal ei llygad, gyda’i swyn a’i hanes.
En: The village had unexpectedly caught her eye, with its charm and history.

Cy: Roedd hi’n meddwl cyn ymadael, ond roedd y siop de wedi’i dal.
En: She considered leaving, but the tea shop had captured her.

Cy: Carys, perchennog y siop, oedd fel chwaer ofalgar, yn trefnu i Emrys a Rhiannon ddod i’w gilydd yn ddirgel.
En: Carys, the shop owner, was like a caring sister, secretly arranging for Emrys and Rhiannon to come together.

Cy: Mewn siarad a thost cynnes, datblygodd cyfeillgarwch naturiol rhwng y ddau.
En: In conversation and warm toast, a natural friendship developed between the two.

Cy: Roedd hyder Emrys yn cynyddu wrth i Rhiannon rannu ei stori.
En: Emrys's confidence grew as Rhiannon shared her story.

Cy: Yna, un diwrnod o haf, penderfynodd Carys gynnal digwyddiad bychan.
En: Then, one summer's day, Carys decided to hold a small event.

Cy: Emrys, wedi’i ysbrydoli gan y siop a’i gysylltiadau newydd, cafodd ysbrydoliaeth.
En: Emrys, inspired by the shop and his new connections, found inspiration.

Cy: Cododd i ddarllen cerdd roedd newydd ei chyfansoddi:
En: He got up to read a poem he had just composed:

Cy: "Y bryniau sy'n syfrdanu, Gydag heulwen yn ein cwmni, Rhiannon, mae'r mwd yn troi'n euraidd, Mae geiriau'n llifo’n rhydd drwodd i mi."
En: "The hills that dazzle, With sunshine as our company, Rhiannon, the mud turns golden, Words flow freely through to me."

Cy: Roedd y gathl creadigol yn fwy nag erioed.
En: The creative spark was greater than ever.

Cy: Roedd pawb yn gweiddi a’r cefnogaeth oedd yn llethol.
En: Everyone was cheering, and the support was overwhelming.

Cy: Roedd rhywbeth arbennig wedi digwydd.
En: Something special had happened.

Cy: Er bod Emrys wedi goresgyn ei rwystrau creadigol, roedd Rhiannon eisoes yn paratoi i adael.
En: Although Emrys had overcome his creative obstacles, Rhiannon was already preparing to leave.

Cy: Ond ni chawsant eu lapio mewn tristwch.
En: But they were not wrapped up in sadness.

Cy: Cynigwyd gobaith.
En: Hope was offered.

Cy: "Nid yw hyn yn ddiwedd," meddai Emrys wrth baratoi am ei hymadael.
En: "This is not the end," said Emrys as he prepared for her departure.

Cy: "Mae calon Cymru'n aros am eich dychweliad."
En: "The heart of Cymru awaits your return."

Cy: Gyda chalon llawn, gadawodd Rhiannon yr ardal, wedi gwneud addewid i ddychwelyd.
En: With a full heart, Rhiannon left the area, having made a promise to return.

Cy: Roedd Emrys, yn ei ôl, wedi dysgu gweld undod mewn man cyffredin, gan ddathlu pob gair a bryn a grug.
En: Emrys, in turn, had learned to see unity in a common place, celebrating every word and hill and heather.

Cy: Roedd y siop de a’i chysylltiadau wedi ennyn llawer mwy na chreadigaeth; roedd wedi creu cyfeillgarwch parhaol a brwdfrydedd newydd.
En: The tea shop and its connections had sparked much more than creativity; it had created lasting friendship and new enthusiasm.

Cy: Roedd yr haf hwn wedi datgelu ystyr glyfar o fod yn gartrefol, a’r pentref bychan yn Snowdonia yn parhau i adlewyrchu’r bardd a’r wraig daith.
En: This summer had revealed a clever meaning of being at home, and the small village in Snowdonia continued to reflect the poet and the woman on a journey.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar ddiwrnod braf o haf, roedd y tri ffrindiau—Rhys, Carys, a Gareth—yn barod am antur yng Nghymru.
En: On a fine summer day, the three friends—Rhys, Carys, and Gareth—were ready for an adventure in Cymru.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn awyddus i'w arwain trwy ei deithiau cerdded gyda chyffro.
En: Rhys was eager to lead them through his walking routes with excitement.

Cy: Roeddent wedi dewis Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, strwythur mawreddog yn uchel uwchben afon dawel.
En: They had chosen the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a magnificent structure high above a tranquil river.

Cy: Tra'r oeddent yn cerdded, roedd yr haul yn tywynnu, gan greu golygfa ysblennydd dros y cefn gwlad.
En: As they walked, the sun was shining, creating a splendid view over the countryside.

Cy: Gan gyfeirio ymlaen, roedd Rhys yn teimlo bod yr haul yn gwenu ar ei gynlluniau.
En: Moving forward, Rhys felt that the sun was smiling on his plans.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn dawel, er bod colofnau uchel yr aqueduct yn erbyn ei chalon, ei phryder am uchderau yn cuddio dros ei wyneb.
En: Carys was quiet, even though the tall columns of the aqueduct were against her heart, her fear of heights hidden over her face.

Cy: Yn y cyfamser, roedd Gareth yn chwerthin a cheisio cadw'r awyrgylch yn ysgafn, er bod ei ben-glin yn cynnal cyfrinachau rhyfedd.
En: Meanwhile, Gareth was laughing and trying to keep the atmosphere light, even though his knee held strange secrets.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gyrraedd hanner ffordd, bu newid sydyn.
En: When they reached halfway, there was a sudden change.

Cy: Stopiodd Gareth yn strach ar ei ben-glin.
En: Gareth stopped in his tracks, clutching his knee.
