Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i heulwen haf ddisgleirio dros yr ysgol gerllaw â'r gymuned frodorol oedd yn dathlu Gŵyl Eisteddfod, roedd awyrgylch bywiog o gyffro yn llenwi'r lle.
En: As the summer sunlight shone over the school nearby with the local community celebrating the Gŵyl Eisteddfod, there was a lively atmosphere of excitement filling the place.

Cy: Y tu mewn i'r awditoriwm, roedd lliwiau bywiog o faneri a phatrymau Cymreig traddodiadol yn hongian o'r waliau.
En: Inside the auditorium, vibrant colors of banners and traditional Welsh patterns hung from the walls.

Cy: Ysbiendai pobl trwy'r ffenestri at stondinau crefft allanol, lle llifai cerddoriaeth ac arogl bwyd yn ysgafn ar yr awel haf.
En: People peeked through the windows at the outdoor craft stalls, where music flowed, and the scent of food lightly danced on the summer breeze.

Cy: Yn ystafell gerddoriaeth yr ysgol, roedd Rhian, myfyrwraig hyderus ac egnïol, yn ymarfer ei llais gyda gwên ar ei hwyneb.
En: In the school's music room, Rhian, a confident and energetic student, was practicing her voice with a smile on her face.

Cy: Gerllaw, roedd Gareth, ei gyfaill dosbarth, yn edrych yn wyliog ar ei ddalen o nodiadau cerddorol.
En: Nearby, Gareth, her classmate, looked anxiously at his sheet of musical notes.

Cy: Islais oedd ei gân yn ei ben, ond y pryder a safai fel cysgod mawr dros ei freuddwydion cerddorol.
En: His song was just a whisper in his head, but anxiety stood like a large shadow over his musical dreams.

Cy: "Gareth, paid bod ofnus," meddai Rhian yn bendant ond yn gynnnes.
En: "Gareth, don't be afraid," said Rhian firmly but warmly.

Cy: "Mae'r Eisteddfod yn gyfle i ddangos ein treftadaeth.
En: "The Eisteddfod is an opportunity to showcase our heritage.

Cy: Byddwn ni'n ei wneud gyda'n gilydd."
En: We'll do it together."

Cy: Gwenodd Gareth, er yn nerfus.
En: Gareth smiled, though nervously.

Cy: "Dw i eisiau canu'r gân werin yna," atebodd yn llawn ansicrwydd.
En: "I want to sing that folk song," he replied full of uncertainty.

Cy: "Ond ar wahân, dw i ddim yn siŵr alla i wneud e."
En: "But on my own, I'm not sure I can do it."

Cy: Roedd Rhian yn gwybod bod Gareth yn dalentog, ac nid oedd yn amau ei allu.
En: Rhian knew that Gareth was talented, and she did not doubt his ability.

Cy: "Unwaith fyddi di ar y llwyfan, bydd popeth yn teimlo'n naturiol," cymeradwyaeth hi.
En: "Once you’re on stage, everything will feel natural," she assured.

Cy: "Gad i mi dy gefnogi di."
En: "Let me support you."

Cy: Y diwrnod canlynol, wrth i'r gŵyl ddechrau ei chwythian caru dynn, roedd y ddau yn eistedd ar lwyfan yr awditoriwm a leinwyd â chefnogwyr brwd.
En: The next day, as the festival began to weave its loving charm, the two sat on the stage of the auditorium lined with enthusiastic supporters.

Cy: Roedd y goleuadau'n boethi, ac roedd y llwyfan yn teimlo'n anfeidrol mawr i Gareth.
En: The lights were warm, and the stage felt infinitely large to Gareth.

Cy: Dechreuodd Rhian ganu, ei llais yn lan, yn poblo ei hyder i'r gynulleidfa.
En: Rhian began to sing, her voice clear, infusing her confidence into the audience.

Cy: Cydiodd Gareth yn ei dân a dywedodd â'i hun nad oedd angen iddo fod yn ofnus; roedd ei gyfaill yma i'w gefnogi.
En: Gareth seized his courage and told himself he didn’t need to be afraid; his friend was here to support him.

Cy: Pan daeth ei dro i ymuno, cododd ei ben ac agorodd ei geg, gan adael i'w lais gyrraedd y meddwl.
En: When it was his turn to join, he lifted his head and opened his mouth, letting his voice reach out.

Cy: Roedd y sain yn dyner, yn symud trwy'r awditoriwm fel gwynt ysgafn, a phan sylweddolodd Gareth bod y gynulleidfa'n gwrando'n astud, deimlodd galon ei ofnau gilio i'r cysgodion.
En: The sound was gentle, moving through the auditorium like a light breeze, and when Gareth realized that the audience was listening intently, he felt the heart of his fears retreat into the shadows.

Cy: Roedd y perfformiad yn prifseinio â'r ddau lais yn cydblethu'n berffaith, gyda Rhian yn rhoi calon i Gareth trwy symudiadau bach betrusgaddol.
En: The performance was magnificent, with the two voices intertwining perfectly, Rhian giving heart to Gareth through small encouraging gestures.

Cy: Pan ddaeth y gân i ben, torrodd y gynulleidfa i gymeradwyaeth lawn gwerthfawrogiad.
En: When the song ended, the audience burst into full appreciative applause.

Cy: Teimlodd Gareth ddryswch cyfforddgar yn llenwi'i galon.
En: Gareth felt a comforting sense of bewilderment filling his heart.

Cy: Roedd wedi gwneud e!
En: He had done it!

Cy: Wedi'r perfformiad, ymunodd Rhian â Gareth, a thaflodd ei breichiau am ei ysgwydd.
En: After the performance, Rhian joined Gareth and threw her arms around his shoulders.

Cy: "Dyma wyt ti! Dw i'n falch iawn o ti, Gareth."
En: "There you are! I’m so proud of you, Gareth."

Cy: Gwenodd Gareth, wedi'i lenwi â hyder newydd.
En: Gareth smiled, filled with newfound confidence.

Cy: "Diolch i ti, Rhian.
En: "Thanks to you, Rhian.

Cy: Hebddo ti, allwn i ddim gwneud e."
En: Without you, I couldn't have done it."

Cy: Roedd yr haul yn machlud ar y digwyddiad Eisteddfod.
En: The sun was setting on the Eisteddfod event.

Cy: Gwthiai gwynt ysgafn dros y coed a cherddodd pobl yn araf rhwng y stondinau.
En: A light breeze pushed over the trees as people walked slowly between the stalls.

Cy: Ar ôl gwireddu ei freuddwyd, roedd Gareth bellach yn gwybod ei allu a'r cryfder a ddaw o gyfeillgarwch a hyder.
En: After realizing his dream, Gareth now knew his ability and the strength that comes from friendship and confidence.

Cy: Roedd y gŵyl yn diweddu, ond dyma oedd ei ddechrau newydd yng ngherddoriaeth a bywyd.
En: The festival was ending, but this was his new beginning in music and life.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore braf haf, roedd y tirwedd yn Snowdonia yn llawn gyda chromlechi lush a bryniau mwsoglyd.
En: On a fine summer morning, the landscape in Snowdonia was full of lush cromlechs and mossy hills.

Cy: Roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawn arogl pridd mwsoglyd ac y sain o afon fach yn llifo'n dawel.
En: The atmosphere was filled with the scent of earthy moss and the sound of a small river gently flowing.

Cy: Yn hamddenol yn y gwersyll, roedd Gareth a Cerys, dau frawd a chwaer, yn paratoi i fynd am dro.
En: Relaxing at the campsite were Gareth and Cerys, a brother and sister, preparing to go for a walk.

En: Gareth, the older brother, was always the one who thought about safety.

Cy: Roedd e am gadw popeth yn ei le.
En: He wanted to keep everything in its place.

Cy: "Mae'n bwysig cadw at y llwybr," meddai Gareth.
En: "It's important to stick to the path," Gareth said.

Cy: "Mae'n ddigon peryglus yma heb anturio'n ddiangen.
En: "It's dangerous enough here without venturing unnecessarily."

Cy: "Ond roedd Cerys yn dringo efo'i sgidiau mochyn rhos, ei llygaid yn sgleinio o gyffro.
En: But Cerys was climbing with her pig's trotter shoes, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Cy: "Ond Gareth," meddai, "dyw hi ddim bob dydd gallwn ni weld y golygfeydd gorau.
En: "But Gareth," she said, "it's not every day we can see the best views.

Cy: Rhaid i mi fynd i'r llwybr newydd yna!
En: I have to go to that new path!

Cy: Mae'n edrych yn gyffrous!
En: It looks exciting!"

Cy: "Gareth aeth yn dawel am foment.
En: Gareth went quiet for a moment.

Cy: Roedd yn poeni.
En: He was worried.

Cy: Ond roedd Cerys wedi gwneud ei meddwl i fynu.
En: But Cerys had made up her mind.

Cy: "Os nad wyt ti'n dod, bydda i'n mynd fy hun," gweiddi Cerys gan ddechrau cerdded i gyfeiriad llwybr arall, llai teithio.
En: "If you're not coming, I'll go by myself," shouted Cerys, starting to walk towards another, less-traveled path.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn teimlo tensiwn ynddo.
En: Gareth felt tension within him.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod nad oedd yn gallu gadael ei chwaer ifanc ar ei phen ei hun.
En: He knew he couldn't leave his younger sister on her own.

Cy: "Arhoswch, Cerys!
En: "Wait, Cerys!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd, yn dechrau rhedeg ar ei hôl.
En: he shouted, beginning to run after her.

Cy: Cyrraeddon nhw gyda’i gilydd i le hardd lle roedd y golygfeydd yn cymryd anadl.
En: They reached together a beautiful place where the views took their breath away.

Cy: Y bryniau'n amlygu yn erbyn yr awyr las, a llyn disglair yn sioe'r haul yn y pellter.
En: The hills stood out against the blue sky, and a sparkling lake was a showcase for the sun in the distance.

Cy: Roedd Cerys yn edrych ar Gareth gyda gwir werthfawrogiad.
En: Cerys looked at Gareth with genuine appreciation.

Cy: "Roeddwn i eisiau i ti weld hyn," meddw Cerys.
En: "I wanted you to see this," said Cerys.

Cy: "Rwy'n gwybod dy fod di'n poeni, ond dyma yw'r fomentau sy'n werth y risg.
En: "I know you worry, but these are the moments that are worth the risk."

Cy: "Gareth wnaeth cael gafael ar ei anadl, ei galon yn llon.
En: Gareth caught his breath, his heart cheerful.

Cy: Oedd e'n gweld hynny'n now.
En: He saw it now.

Cy: "Roeddwn i ddim yn meddwl bod hyn mor bwysig i ti," gwnaeth Gareth ateb yn dawel.
En: "I didn't think this was so important to you," Gareth answered quietly.

Cy: "Ond rwy'n falch fy mod wedi ddod.
En: "But I'm glad I came."

Cy: "Cyd-ddeall a daeth tawelwch rhwng y ddau.
En: A mutual understanding and quiet fell between the two.

Cy: Roeddent yn eistedd yno, yn rhannu'r olygfa hardd, wedi trosglwyddo eu hofnau ac yn dod â'u perthynas yn nes.
En: They sat there, sharing the beautiful view, having moved past their fears and bringing their relationship closer.

Cy: Roedd Cerys yn dysgu gwerthfawrogi cyngor Gareth, a Gareth yn dysgu gadael ei hun i antur.
En: Cerys learned to appreciate Gareth's advice, and Gareth learned to let himself embrace adventure.

Cy: Wrth i'r haul ddechrau diflannu y tu ôl i'r bryniau, roedd y brawd a'r chwaer yn adrodd straeon am yr antur yn chwerthin yn ôl i'w carafan.
En: As the sun began to disappear behind the hills, the brother and sister recounted tales of their adventure, laughing back to their caravan.

Cy: Roedd eu unoliaeth wedi cryfhau, a'r haf hwnnw'n fuont newydd yn atgofion a fyddent byth yn gadael y traciau gorau.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r haul gwenu dros y tŷ teulu mawr, roedd awyrgylch o gymdeithasu a hapusrwydd yn llenwi pob cornel o'r lle.
En: As the sun smiled over the large family house, an atmosphere of socializing and happiness filled every corner of the place.

Cy: Roedd teulu Gwyneth wedi dod ynghyd ar ddiwrnod braf o haf.
En: Gwyneth's family had gathered together on a fine summer's day.

Cy: Roedd y plant yn chwarae yn y gardd fawr wrth i'r oedolion hel clecs a mwynhau pecyn bach o fwydydd traddodiadol Cymru, yn cynnwys cawl blasus a bara lawr.
En: The children played in the large garden as the adults gossiped and enjoyed a small package of traditional Welsh foods, including delicious soup and bara lawr.

Cy: Yn y canol i'r haint llawen, safai Gwyneth, merch synhwyrol a chyfrifol, wrth ymyl Emrys, ei chyfnither bywiog a chwareus.
En: In the midst of the joyous tumult stood Gwyneth, a sensible and responsible girl, next to Emrys, her lively and playful cousin.

Cy: Doedd Emrys erioed yn poeni llawer am dreftadaeth neu hanes teuluol, ond Gwyneth oedd rhywun a oedd bob amser eisiau gwybod rhagor am eu gorffennol.
En: Emrys never cared much about heritage or family history, but Gwyneth was someone who always wanted to know more about their past.

Cy: Heb rybudd, cafodd y teulu adroddiad gan ei nain bod gan ei hen dad-cu wobr sydd â chyfrinach yn gysylltiedig â cham gyntaf i'w etifeddiaeth.
En: Without warning, the family received a report from her grandmother that her great-grandfather had left a prize with a secret connected to the first step to their inheritance.

Cy: Roedd y cyfan wedi’u hysgogi gan hen ddirgelwch mewn ffurf telyneg rhifol.
En: It was all driven by an old mystery in the form of a numerical lyric.

Cy: Roedd Gwyneth yn mynd ati i ddeall y pos, y rhain oedd y geiriau:
En: Gwyneth set out to understand the puzzle, which included these words:

Cy: "Ail-fiwio'r llew, mae'n dal o hyd, Y rhwymyn tywyll a byrbryd. Geiriau difyr, yn cuddio'n glaer, Hen storïau a hanes yn ailwlad."
En: "Rouse the lion, it still remains, The dark bond and a quick snack. Intriguing words, shining hidden, Old stories and history retold."

Cy: Roedd y geiriau'n gymhleth, yn ymddangos fel a fyddent yn cyfeirio at hanes teuluol anhysbys iddi.
En: The words were complex, appearing to refer to family history unknown to her.

Cy: Ond gyda chynllunio ac ymchwil, roedd Gwyneth benderfynol.
En: But with planning and research, Gwyneth was determined.

Cy: Ymunodd Emrys gyda hi, yn annisgwyl. Ond roedd hwyliog ei gynorthwyo, er y difrod roedd ei ogofau dros dro yn achosi.
En: To her surprise, Emrys joined her, willingly assisting despite the temporary chaos his antics often caused.

Cy: “Pan wrthdaro, mae'r ateb yn aml o dan ein trwynau,” meddai Emrys, rhwng chwerthan a pharatoi danteithion.
En: “When clashing, the answer is often right under our noses,” said Emrys, between laughter and preparing treats.

Cy: Gan weithio o dan y cysgodder emblemau teuluol wedi'u plethu ar wandodau prunau, dechreuodd y ddau ddadansoddi'r pethau.
En: Working under the shadow of intertwined family emblems on braided patterns, the two began to analyze things.

Cy: Fe wnaethant ail-fyw'r hanes teuluol trwy straeon gwych o’r wlad.
En: They relived the family history through wonderful stories of the land.

Cy: Wrth ddilyn y cliwiau, cafodd Gwyneth ac Emrys linyn cysylltiol newydd.
En: By following the clues, Gwyneth and Emrys discovered a new connective thread.

Cy: Er mawr syndod, ni oedd unrhyw gyfoeth materol a ddaeth i'r amlwg, ond yn hytrach, llyfrau cyfarwyddiadu llawysgrif o storïon personol y gorffennol a rysáitiau gwerthfawr ei hen hen-nain.
En: To their great surprise, no material wealth emerged, but rather, manuscript instruction books of personal stories from the past and precious recipes of her great-great-grandmother.

Cy: Roedd y pos wedi’i ddatrys.
En: The puzzle was solved.

Cy: Mae Gwyneth wedi sylweddoli gwerth gwirionedd datgloi dirgelion, yn union fel ag Emrys wedi dysgu parch tuag at ddymuniadau dwfn Gwyneth.
En: Gwyneth had realized the true value of unlocking secrets, just as Emrys had learned to respect Gwyneth's deep wishes.

Cy: Nid oedd hi'n amarchus y teulu mwyach; roedd hi'n gyfoethocach ei phrofiad, gwerthfawrogiad newydd o gwmpas unrhyw un â meddwl gwahanol neu ddifrifol.
En: She no longer disrespected the family; she was enriched by her experience, with new appreciation for anyone with a different or serious mindset.

Cy: Roedd eu treftadaeth wirioneddol wedi dod i'r golwg, yn cryfhau eu cwlwm teuluol, a dod â llu amheirifiaid i dawelwch cartref gyfan ynghyd â storïau, straeon a chwerthin.
En: Their true heritage had come to light, strengthening their family bond and bringing countless members to a peaceful home filled with stories, tales, and laughter.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Golau’r haul haf oedd yn disgyn yn feddal ar erddi’r hen blasty sy’n edrych dros y môr ym Mhenrhyn Gŵyr.
En: The summer sun's light fell softly on the gardens of the old mansion overlooking the sea in the Penrhyn Gŵyr (Gower Peninsula).

Cy: Roedd y teulu wedi dod ynghyd i fwynhau prynhawn gyda chyfeillgarwch a sgwrs.
En: The family had gathered to enjoy an afternoon of companionship and conversation.

Cy: Mewn cornel, safai Eira, y chwaer ieuengaf, yn edrych yn ofalus ar lyfrau'r llyfrgell deuluol.
En: In a corner stood Eira, the youngest sister, carefully looking at the family library's books.

Cy: Roedd gan y teulu drysor gwerthfawr, tlws teuluol oedd wedi bod gyda nhw ers cenedlaethau.
En: The family had a valuable treasure, a family heirloom that had been with them for generations.

Cy: Heddiw, roedd wedi diflannu.
En: Today, it had vanished.

Cy: Roedd y tlws ar goll, a phawb yn troi i Eira gyda golwg drwgdybus.
En: The heirloom was missing, and everyone turned to Eira with a suspicious glance.

Cy: Roedd Eira wedi’i ddal yn ceisio profi bod yn gyfrifol.
En: Eira found herself trying hard to prove she was responsible.

Cy: Roedd hi’n benderfynol o’i ddod o hyd.
En: She was determined to find it.

Cy: “Fe wna i ddarganfod beth ddigwyddodd,” meddai Eira, ei llais yn benderfynol ond calon yn curiad cyflym.
En: "I will discover what happened," said Eira, her voice determined but her heart beating fast.

Cy: Gareth, ei brawd hynaf, a oedd yn aml yn anniddig gyda’i chwaer ifancach, edrychodd ar Eira gydag amheuaeth.
En: Gareth, her eldest brother, who was often impatient with his younger sister, looked at Eira with doubt.

Cy: “Ti’n gwybod bod hyn yn fwy na all dy fryd bach di ddelio â?
En: "You know this is more than your little mind can handle?"

Cy: ” gofynnodd Gareth, gan bwyso ar ffrâm y drws.
En: asked Gareth, leaning on the door frame.

Cy: Ond ni wnaeth Meredith, ei chyfnither doeth a thawel, ddim ond gwenu'n dyner.
En: But Meredith, their wise and quiet cousin, simply smiled gently.

Cy: “Rhaid i ni roi cyfle iddi,” dywedodd Meredith, yn cynnig cymorth hudolus yn ei bresenoldeb.
En: "We must give her a chance," said Meredith, offering a magical support with her presence.

Cy: Aeth Eira ati i wneud ei hymchwiliadau.
En: Eira set off on her investigation.

Cy: Cafodd hyd i dystiolaeth, gwasgariad o weddillion papurau oedd yn sbri i’r gwynt ar ben y desg.
En: She found evidence, a scattering of paper remnants that were blowing in the wind on the desk.

Cy: Roedd y wybodaeth o aren o help, ond roedd llawer o waith yn dal i’w wneud.
En: The information was somewhat helpful, but there was still much work to be done.

Cy: Treuliodd oriau hir yn chwilio, gwrando am straeon, a thynnu lluniau yn ei meddwl.
En: She spent long hours searching, listening to stories, and drawing pictures in her mind.

Cy: Yna ryw awr neu ddwy ar ôl amser cinio, daeth Eira ar draws rhywbeth diddorol: adarnod bach ar ochr silff lyfrau hen, a oedd wedi mynd yn angof ers tro byd.
En: Then, an hour or two after lunch, Eira came across something interesting: a small knob on the side of an old bookshelf that had long been forgotten.

Cy: Wrth rybedio bwtwm cudd, agorodd Eira gympartmant dirgel yn y silff lyfrau.
En: By pressing a hidden button, Eira opened a secret compartment in the bookshelf.

Cy: Yn yno, amrywiwyd glain iach o liw ac aur.
En: Inside, there was a healthy glow of beads of color and gold.

Cy: Safai yn fud.
En: She stood speechless.

Cy: Y tlws!
En: The heirloom!

Cy: Roedd rhywun wedi’i guddio yn fwriadol, ond pam?
En: Someone had intentionally hidden it, but why?

Cy: Gollyngodd lonc llyffethair o ganol torf y teulu, ond cyn iddynt fynd yn rhy bell gyda dychmygu, camodd yr hen ewythr Jac ymlaen.
En: A gasp rose from the family crowd, but before they could delve too deep into speculation, old Uncle Jac stepped forward.

Cy: "Rwy’n ddrwg gen i," cyfaddefodd, wyneb i lawr.
En: "I am sorry," he admitted, looking down.

Cy: "Fel plant ni, roeddwn am weld fflach y rhithgor mwyn i’r un olaf unwaith yn rhagor.
En: "Like when we were kids, I wanted to see the gleam of the beloved heirloom one last time."

Cy: "Ar unwaith, eisteddfodd y teulu ar y bwrdd coffi.
En: Instantly, the family sat around the coffee table.

Cy: Cafodd dyddiau hanes y tlws eu rhannu tra roedd teimladau amrywiol yn cylchdroi, o sioc i hawddfyd.
En: The days of the heirloom's history were shared while various emotions swirled, from shock to relief.

Cy: Mewn un (math o) fan a’r tof, sylweddolais bod y dyn wedi methu’n llwyr.
En: In a moment, I realized the man had utterly failed.

Cy: Amser hir o fynd a dod, eisteddodd teulu ac gwrando ar Eira tra'n derbyn ymddiheuriadau a pharch newydd.
En: After a long time of coming and going, the family sat back and listened to Eira while accepting apologies and newfound respect.

Cy: Roedd Gareth wedi dysgu bod ei fyfyrdodau anghywir, a dechreuodd weld ei chwaer mewn golau newydd.
En: Gareth learned that his previous assumptions were wrong, and he began to see his sister in a new light.

Cy: Wrth i’r haul suddo dros y gorwel, roedd Gŵyr wedi profi i Eira fod yn arwr, ac unwaith eto roedd ysblander y teulu’n disgleirio gyda golau newydd.
En: As the sun set over the horizon, Gŵyr had proven Eira to be a hero, and once again, the splendor of the family shone with new light.
