Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar brynhawn braf yn y Gwanwyn, ysgol Eira oedd ar drip maes i Fynydd yr Wyddfa.
En: On a fine afternoon in the spring, ysgol Eira was on a field trip to Mynydd yr Wyddfa.

Cy: Roedd y coetir o'u cwmpas yn llawn o flodau gwyllt lliwgar ac arogl ffres pren yn llenwi’r aer.
En: The woods around them were full of colorful wildflowers and the fresh scent of wood filled the air.

Cy: Roedd Eira wedi bod yn edrych ymlaen at ddringo'r mynydd ond hefyd yn poeni am ei ofn o uchder.
En: Eira had been looking forward to climbing the mountain but was also worried about her fear of heights.

Cy: Roedd ei ffrind gorau, Glynn, wrth ei ochr.
En: Her best friend, Glynn, was by her side.

Cy: Roedd Glynn bob amser yn gefnogol ac yn annog Eira i bwyso ar ei ofnau.
En: Glynn was always supportive and encouraged Eira to lean on her fears.

Cy: "Gallwn ni wneud hyn!" meddai Glynn gyda gwên ar ei wyneb mawr, cynhyrfus.
En: "We can do this!" said Glynn with a big, excited smile on his face.

Cy: Roedd ei eiriau bob amser yn llawn cysur i Eira.
En: His words were always full of comfort for Eira.

Cy: Dechreuodd y dosbarth i gyd ddringo'r llwybr, ar ben gyda'u bagiau cefn a'u mapiau.
En: The entire class began to climb the path, loaded with their backpacks and maps.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw ddringo'n araf, roedd Eira'n teimlo'r dirywiad cyflym wrth iddi edrych i lawr.
En: As they climbed slowly, Eira felt dizzy as she looked down.

Cy: "Glynn, dwi ddim yn meddwl y galla i barhau," meddai, ei llais yn brin.
En: "Glynn, I don't think I can continue," she said, her voice faltering.

Cy: Roedd y llwybr yn mynd yn fwy cul a serth wrth iddynt fynd ymlaen.
En: The path grew narrower and steeper as they progressed.

Cy: Golwg y tir o dan ei traed yn ei llawn eu golwg yn ei gwneud i'w galon guro’n gyflym.
En: The sight of the ground beneath her feet made her heart beat quickly.

Cy: "Peidiwch ag edrych i lawr," annogodd Glynn wrth fynd ag un cam arall ymlaen.
En: "Don't look down," urged Glynn as he took another step forward.

Cy: "Edrychwch ymlaen, at y copa. Dwi'n gwybod bod hwn yn anodd, ond gallwch ei wneud."
En: "Look ahead, at the summit. I know this is hard, but you can do it."

Cy: Cymerodd Eira anadl ddyfn ac etholodd i symud i'r blaen.
En: Eira took a deep breath and chose to move forward.

Cy: Roedd y llwybr yn her, ond roedd hi'n teimlo bod cryfder newydd yn codi ynddi.
En: The path was challenging, but she felt a new strength rising within her.

Cy: Gyda chefnogaeth Glynn, roedd pob cam yn teimlo'n llai a llai ofnus.
En: With Glynn's support, each step felt less and less scary.

Cy: O'r diwedd, cyrhaeddodd y brig.
En: Finally, she reached the top.

Cy: Golygfa oedd yn cymryd ei gwynt oddi arni ei wynebu – tirwedd enfawr o fynyddoedd a llynnoedd sydd yn ymestyn i’r pell.
En: A view that took her breath away stretched before her – an expansive landscape of mountains and lakes extending into the distance.

Cy: Daeth teimlad o gyflawniad dros Eira wrth iddi sefyll ar frig Mynydd yr Wyddfa.
En: A sense of accomplishment washed over Eira as she stood atop Mynydd yr Wyddfa.

Cy: "Fe wnaethoch chi, Eira!" gwaeddodd Glynn yn falch, a chafodd Eira wyntyllu balchder yn ei galon.
En: "You did it, Eira!" shouted Glynn, proud, and Eira felt pride swell in her heart.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi goresgyn ei hofnau, a gyda hynny daeth hyder a dewrder newydd.
En: She had overcome her fears, and with that came new confidence and courage.

Cy: Roedd y copa mor blynyddol a thrawiadol fel yr oedd gennyf ers tro i fynd yno.
En: The summit was so annual and stunning that she had long wanted to go there.

Cy: Roedd ar Eira yn gwybod na fyddai heb ei ffrind, Glynn, ger ei ochr.
En: Eira knew she wouldn’t have made it without her friend, Glynn, by her side.

Cy: Wrth iddynt ddechrau'r daith i lawr o'r copa, roedd Eira'n teimlo'n gryfach ac yn barod i wynebu unrhyw anghydfod a ddaeth yn ei ffordd.
En: As they started the descent from the summit, Eira felt stronger and ready to face any challenge that came her way.

Cy: Roedd heddiw wedi newid y ffordd roedd hi'n gweld uchder; doedd dim ond y nef oedd y terfyn bellach.
En: Today had changed the way she viewed heights; only the sky was the limit now.

En: She was free of it all, working freelance and searching for some sort of connection—someone or something to spark her imagination.

Cy: Pan gwrddon nhw yng ngôl yr awr, roedd rhywbeth unigryw yn eu hadroddiadau.
En: When they met at the turn of the hour, there was something unique in their stories.

Cy: "Eisiau dillad, mod?" gofynnodd Rhiannon, gwên fach ar ei hwyneb.

Cy: "Dim anghenraid," atebodd Gareth, yn chwerthin.
En: "No need," replied Gareth, laughing.

Cy: "Rydw i yma i ddarganfod… wel, yr un peth â thi, mae'n debyg."

Cy: Yna daeth yr amser i gyflwyno eu darn ar y llwyfan, yng nghanol yr ŵyl.
En: Then it was time to present their piece on stage, in the middle of the festival.

Cy: Wrth i'r geiriau lifo o'u ceg, gyda'u lleisiau yn cydblethu'n gyfoethog, daeth tawelwch hudolus dros y gynulleidfa.
En: As the words flowed from their mouths, with their voices intertwining richly, a magical quietness fell over the audience.

Cy: Roedd y cywaith yn creu argraff, ac yn teimlo'n naturiol – fel pe bai wedi bod yno erioed.

Cy: "Mae angen i ni gadw mewn cysylltiad," dywedodd Gareth wrth iddynt gerdded ar hyd llwybr coediog yn ôl i'r dre.
En: "We need to keep in touch," Gareth said as they walked along a wooded path back to town.

Cy: Roedd grynodiad newydd o bosibiliadau yn llenwi'r awyr o'u cwmpas.
En: A new concentration of possibilities filled the air around them.

Cy: "Byddem nawr," atebodd Rhiannon, yn ei gweld ei ffeindiodd y cryfder sydd mewn menter rhannu.
En: "We certainly will," replied Rhiannon, realizing she had found the strength that lies in shared ventures.

Cy: Wedi'i llenwi â gobaith a chyffro, gadawodd y ddau Laugharne, nid yn unig gydag ymdeimlad o gyflawniad ond hefyd yn wybod bod tyfu'n dod o gymdeithas.
En: Filled with hope and excitement, the two left Laugharne, not just with a sense of accomplishment but also knowing growth comes from community.

Cy: "Roedd y sgwrs yn adleisio drwy'r ystafell.
En: The conversation echoed through the room.

Cy: Roedd Mair yn edrych i mewn, a phenderfynodd, "Dim ond oherwydd fy mod i’n iau, nid yw hynny'n golygu na allaf reoli fy mywyd.
En: Mair looked inward and decided, "Just because I’m younger, it doesn’t mean I can't control my life."

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae hafan o liwiau yn gwahodd Rhys a Cerys wrth iddynt groesi drosodd drwy ddrysau glas yr amgueddfa bysgod, hufen iâ yn eu dwylo.
En: A haven of colors greeted Rhys and Cerys as they stepped through the blue doors of the aquarium museum, ice cream in their hands.

Cy: Roedd Cerys newydd ymweld â Rhys am y tro cyntaf ers tro, yn awyddus i weld pa mor dda mae ei frawd yn ymdopi fel tad.
En: Cerys was visiting Rhys for the first time in a long while, eager to see how well her brother was handling life as a father.

Cy: Roedd Rhys wedi meddwl am bopeth: planhigion acwariwm, popcorn, a'r cerbyd babi newydd sbon.
En: Rhys had thought of everything: aquarium plants, popcorn, and the brand-new baby stroller.

Cy: Tra bod Rhys yn gwylio'r morloi'n chwarae, cwympodd y glirdeb yn ei feddwl ac, heb sylwi, fe wnaeth ef gyfnewid y cerbyd babi â un arall ger stondin siocled.
En: While Rhys watched the seals play, a moment of clarity slipped from his mind, and without noticing, he swapped the baby stroller with another near the chocolate stall.

Cy: Fe wnaeth ef drochfa i mewn i sgwrs am octopysau gyda Cerys, heb sylwi'r trap roedd newydd ei osod iddo'i hun.
En: He dove into a conversation about octopuses with Cerys, unaware of the trap he had set for himself.

Cy: "Gwelwch Cerys, mae'r carcharorion hyn yn gallu dianc fel hud!" gwatwarodd Rhys, yn sicr bod y diwrnod yn mynd yn uchel i law.
En: "Look, Cerys, these prisoners can escape like magic!" Rhys teased, confident that the day was going swimmingly.

Cy: Roedd Cerys, hynod o wybodus, yn nodi arwyddion o ffraethineb mewn stori Rhys.
En: Cerys, keenly observant, noted elements of humor in Rhys's tale.

Cy: "Wyt ti'n gwybod bod morloi yn mwynhau cerddoriaeth?" ychwanegodd hi, gan ddal prawf Rhys.
En: "Did you know that seals enjoy music?" she added, testing Rhys's knowledge.

Cy: Yn sydyn, edrychodd Cerys lawr ar y cerbyd acwed, "O Rhys, dydi dy fab ddim eisiau tryweryn eto, dydy?" a chwarddodd bach.
En: Suddenly, Cerys glanced down at the swapped stroller, "Oh Rhys, doesn’t your son want a stroller yet, does he?" and she giggled lightly.

Cy: Sylweddolodd Rhys ei gamgymeriad, ac er bod cydwybod Cerys wedi rhewi, roedd awydd hi dros ddrama yn dal i losgi.
En: Rhys realized his mistake, and even though Cerys's conscience was frozen, her urge for drama still burned brightly.

Cy: Rhys, mewn panig, ceisiodd esgus mai cynllun hir oedd y cyfan, ond roedd hi'n amlwg bod rhywbeth o'i le.
En: In a panic, Rhys tried to pretend it had all been part of a long-term plan, but it was obvious that something was amiss.

Cy: Defnyddiodd Cerys yr eiliad i ddatblygu gweithgaredd a drygioni i'w helpu Rhys.
En: Cerys used the moment to craft an activity and mischief to help Rhys.

Cy: Pan welwyd y teulu arall, a dechrau chwalu'r planhigyn gyda llythyr ping-ogwr oedd yn llawn o don hə., er bod Cerys yn ceisio angau wyllus ei hysbryd.
En: When the other family appeared, they began to dismantle the scenario with a letter-paper penguin full of humor, though Cerys tried to maintain a mysterious spirit.

Cy: Tra oeddent yn arddelio i "'Jellyfish Globyddol" y planhigyn, defnyddiodd Cerys weniaith a gosod y sylw ar y pysgod i sgripiwn Rhywun fuodd yn codi yma.
En: As they tended to the "'Global Jellyfish" plant, Cerys used wit to divert attention toward someone who had once risen here.

Cy: O'r diwedd, roedd y gymysgu drosodd, a roedd Rhys yn canu teimlad bod ei fab saith mis bach yno.
En: Eventually, the mix-up was over, and Rhys was left feeling that his seven-month-old son was safe.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn chwerthin drwy'r chwarterau dynol-llechfaen, llwyrwybodol am y dryswch.
En: Rhys laughed throughout the human-stone quarters, fully aware of the confusion.

Cy: Gwên Cerys oedd yn tanlinellu pob profiad.
En: Cerys's smile underlined every experience.

Cy: "Drosodd fydd bob amser, Rhys," meddai Cerys.
En: "It'll be over soon enough, Rhys," Cerys said.

Cy: "Ond dyma yw'r gwir gwênau."
En: "But these are the real smiles."

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn camu oddi wrth y cyfandiad cul, llawn o wrth-ddwyster newydd i'r ocsiwn hwn yn ei fywyd.
En: Rhys stepped away from the tight intersection, filled with a new kind of intensity in this auction of his life.

Cy: Roedd ei wddf ymlaen, belen fel gorchestion tri-eiriau a thactegau cydchwarae, gan bwysleisio bod y baste yn ffordd dda o fyw drwy'r oes.
En: His head was ahead, a metaphor for his three-word challenges and teamwork tactics, emphasizing that the mishap was a good way of living through the ages.

Cy: Roedd emerged Rhys gyda dealltwriaeth newydd, bod rhodresiad a chamgymeriadau gwynfyw yn gyflym i roi'r holl sefyllfa aur.
En: Rhys emerged with a new understanding, that boasting and minor errors could quickly turn into an entire golden situation.

Cy: Roedd Cerys yn gweld mwy o barch i'w frawd ac ei habwydnewid.
En: Cerys saw more respect for her brother and his adaptability.

Cy: Ymwelodd y ddau gyda chyfrol lywio a dieithriaeth benodol, a edrychai'n ddigon erchyll i lynu.
En: The two of them departed with a keen volume of guidance and particular estrangement, looking suitably fearsome to linger.

Cy: Pleid mai datganiad oedd y croesdoriad hwn, iawn ar ben ei fywyd wrth i'r donnau chwarae wrth blendid ddreigau cŵl y carchar.
En: It seemed this intersection was a statement, right at the top of its life as the waves played with the cool dragons of the prison.

En: On a sunny spring afternoon, the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru Festival was in full swing.

Cy: "Ffion, mae hyn mor wych," meddyliodd Hywel yn uchel, yn canfod ei hun yn nerfus ond cynhyrfus.

Cy: Roedd ei anadl yn fyr oherwydd y cyfle i gystadlu yn y bryddest.
