Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae’r haul yn tawelu ar faes awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd; mae’r nos yn gosod y tân glas ar y tarmac prysur.
En: The sun is setting on Maes Awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd; the night is casting the blue flame on the busy tarmac.

Cy: Roedd y terminal yn llawn rhuthr di-baid, gyda phobl yn tynnu bagiau lliwgar ar eu holiau, dan diwn dibaid cyhoeddiadau.
En: The terminal was full of unending hustle, with people dragging colorful bags behind them, under the constant tune of announcements.

Cy: Ar un o’r byrddau, roedd Gwen yn eistedd yn disgwyl i’w hegwyl haul cychwyn.
En: At one of the tables, Gwen was sitting, waiting for her sunny getaway to begin.

Cy: Gwen oedd nyrs ddiflino, wedi blinder o oriau hir yn yr ysbyty.
En: Gwen was a tireless nurse, exhausted from long hours at the hospital.

Cy: Roedd angen y gwyliau hyn arni fel dŵr glas ar ei thir wrth wynebu nosweithiau dibendraw o waith blinedig.
En: She needed this vacation like blue water on her land after facing endless nights of tiring work.

Cy: Wrth feddwl am yr haul ac ynys tawel, roedd hi wedi anadlu’n ddwfn ac anghofio am y rhuthr.
En: Thinking about the sun and a quiet island, she took a deep breath and forgot about the rush.

Cy: Gerllaw, roedd Rhys, y dyn busnes llawn straen, yn ceisio delio â sawl galwad busnes ar unwaith.
En: Nearby, Rhys, the stressed businessman, was trying to handle multiple business calls at once.

Cy: Er nad oedden nhw’n deall ei gilydd, roedd Gwen yn gallu teimlo ei anhwylllolrwydd wrth iddo chwarae â’i ffôn symudol.
En: Although they didn’t understand each other, Gwen could feel his restlessness as he fiddled with his mobile phone.

Cy: I’r cyferbyn, roedd Megan, yn llawn chwilfrydedd am gyffro’r dydd, yn sefyll ger y sgriniau mawr yn darllen yr amseroedd hedfan ac yn dychmygu eu storïau.
En: In contrast, Megan, full of curiosity about the day's excitement, stood near the large screens, reading the flight times and imagining their stories.

Cy: Yn sydyn, roedd y tawelwch siaradus a’r cyffro o wneud cofroddion o’r fath yn cael ei dorri.
En: Suddenly, the talkative silence and the excitement of creating such memories were interrupted.

Cy: Roedd cyhoeddiad brys yn llenwi’r awyr, ac roedd pobl yn troi’n puzzled.
En: An urgent announcement filled the air, and people turned puzzled.

Cy: Un fenyw ar lawr, yn gwympedig, ac roedd angen help meddygol arni ar unwaith.
En: A woman on the floor, in a faint, needed immediate medical help.

Cy: Heb unrhyw feddwl pellach, cododd Gwen.
En: Without further thought, Gwen stood up.

Cy: Roedd ei instinct nyrsio’n glir.
En: Her nursing instinct was clear.

Cy: Galwodd Rhys am help a Megan yn codi sylw o’i chwmpas.
En: Rhys called for help and Megan drew attention around her.

Cy: Roedd hi’n caru hyfforddiant a gwybodaeth Gwen; roedd yn llawn cyngor gyda llaw gan Rhys, a Megan yn chwarae rhan fach fel cefnogwraig chwilfrydig ond beiddgar.
En: She loved Gwen's training and knowledge; Rhys was full of advice and Megan played a small role as a curious but bold supporter.

Cy: Gwen defnyddiodd ei sgiliau’n gyflym i sefydlogi’r fenyw.
En: Gwen quickly used her skills to stabilize the woman.

Cy: Roedd yr ergyd o adrenalin yng nghanol y porthladd awyr yn cyfuno â hi.
En: The surge of adrenaline amidst the airport concourse was merging with her.

Cy: Nid hir y bu’r paramedigion yno, a diolch i Gwen, roedd y sefyllfa o dan reolaeth.
En: The paramedics weren't long in arriving, and thanks to Gwen, the situation was under control.

Cy: Roedd y croesawgar wynfyd yn cael ei dorri gyda newyddion na fyddai Gwen yn dal ei hediad.
En: The welcoming bliss was interrupted by the news that Gwen wouldn't be able to catch her flight.

Cy: Ond roedd y staff ac ymwelwyr yn ddiolchgar.
En: But the staff and visitors were grateful.

Cy: Cynigiwyd lle iddi ar yr hediad nesaf heb unrhyw gost.
En: She was offered a place on the next flight at no cost.

Cy: Gwen traethodd drwy'r terminol gan wybod, er ei bod wedi colli’r daith y gallai ei gwell gydymdeimlad a gweithwyr maes awyr eraill ennill hyd y tir.
En: Gwen walked through the terminal knowing, even though she missed the flight, that her empathy and connection with other airport workers could gain her ground.

Cy: Roedd llenyddiaeth iddo yn cadarnhau ei rôl, ac er ei bod wedi blino pan yr oedd y paramedigion yn gofalu am y fenyw, roedd yn werthfawrogol o’i gwaith, a hithau’n geidwad o bob anhawster.
En: The literature confirmed her role, and though she was tired when the paramedics took care of the woman, she was appreciative of her work, as she was a guardian of every hardship.

Cy: Roedd y darganfyddiad newydd hwn o bwrpas yn gwneud i Gwen deimlo bod y problem sefyllfa wedi newid ac y cyniodd ei cynhesu’n gyffredinol.
En: This new discovery of purpose made Gwen feel that the problematic situation had changed and that her general warmth had increased.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Hunan a dweud y ddafad wrth y mynach.
En: "Self," said the sheep to the monk.

Cy: Dyma oedd motto Rhian bob amser.
En: This was always Rhian's motto.

Cy: Roedd hi'n sefyll gyda'i ffrindiau, Dafydd a Cerys, ar lethr bryn.
En: She was standing with her friends, Dafydd and Cerys, on the slope of a hill.

Cy: Islaw, roedd Abaty Valle Crucis yn cysgu.
En: Below, Valle Crucis Abbey lay sleeping.

Cy: Byth ers y plentyn, bu son am drysor cudd yma.
En: Ever since childhood, there had been talk of hidden treasure here.

Cy: Roedd hi'n brynhawn o ddiwedd yr haf, y coed yn dechrau newid lliw, a'r haul yn disgleirio wrth iddi fynd heibio'r cymylau.
En: It was a late summer afternoon, the trees beginning to change color, and the sun was shining as it passed through the clouds.

Cy: "Rydyn ni angen dod o hyd i'r trysor hwn," meddai Rhian, yn herio'i ffrindiau.
En: "We need to find this treasure," Rhian said, challenging her friends.

Cy: Roedd hi'n awyddus i ddarganfod rhywbeth i wneud iddi deimlo'n bwysig.
En: She was eager to find something to make her feel important.

Cy: "Ond mae'n peryglus," rhybuddiodd Dafydd.
En: "But it's dangerous," warned Dafydd.

Cy: Roedd ei ochrau ffyddlon bob amser yn amgylcheddol o ymdrechion Rhian i fynd y tu hwnt.
En: His faithful sides were always wary of Rhian's efforts to go beyond.

Cy: Ond roedd e'n deall arwyddocâd yr antur i Rhian.
En: But he understood the significance of the adventure to Rhian.

Cy: "Mae'r straeon yn dweud bod y drysor wedi ei guddio o dan adfeilion yr abaty," ychwanegodd Cerys gyda gwen yn llawn cyffro, yn awchu am unrhyw le i dywys ei dychymyg liar ynnigo.
En: "The stories say the treasure is hidden under the ruins of the abbey," Cerys added with a grin full of excitement, eager for any place to guide her wandering imagination.

Cy: Fe ffrëgodd y tri ffrind drwy'r gerddi, yn treiddio i wreiddiau tywyll y strwythur.
En: The three friends crept through the gardens, delving into the dark roots of the structure.

Cy: Roedd yr aer yn swynol o lawr môs a hanes, a'r to'n ddieithriad i'r haul roeddent wedi adael tu cefn.
En: The air was enchantingly fragrant with moss and history, and the roof, a mystery they had left behind.

Cy: Dewisodd Rhian arwain y ffordd tuag at adran oedd wedi ei dynodi gyda rhybuddion.
En: Rhian chose to lead the way to an area marked with warnings.

Cy: Roedd llythrennau coch yn rhybuddio nad i fynd ymlaen.
En: Red letters cautioned them not to proceed.

Cy: "Os nad ni, pwy bynnag?
En: "If not us, then who?"

Cy: " fe holodd Cerys yn chwilfrydig.
En: Cerys asked curiously.

Cy: Argaeledd o adeiladau sydd ar gael ar wasgar, a'r Drych Mawr a chafn i lawr, dywedodd chyfnewid eich dycniau i ddod o hyd i gamlera gudd, a dan do cafodd y tri anniddig gwrdd â fyddai'n golygu mwy o reibe: Tiwbiau rholio, hen lenni, a dwylo mewn chwarel dda o wybodaeth.
En: Availability of buildings scattered about, and the Great Glass and trough down, instructed your perseverance to find hidden chambers, and under the roof, the uneasy trio met what would mean more chapters: Rolled tubes, old sheets, and hands in a quarry rich in information.

Cy: Roedd y papurau yn berthnasol i'r gweithgareddau hanesyddol yn yr abatyau.
En: The papers were related to historical activities in the abbeys.

Cy: Lennodd llygod gafalog wedi'i ddryllio ar gwaplien dram y iaith.
En: Shattered scrolls adorned the path of the language.

Cy: Roedd Rhian yn dychwelyd arni heb drysor, ond roedd y teimlad cyfan yn ei ewyllys yn ei gadarnhau.
En: Rhian returned from it without treasure, but the feeling of her entire will fortified her.

Cy: Gwnaeth y dystiolaeth sylweddol a chael ffotograff lledol iddo ei rhoi i'r oriel leol.
En: The substantial evidence gathered and a photograph allowed her to contribute to the local gallery.

Cy: Er nad oedd Rhian wedi darganfod trysor aur fel roedd hi'n ddymuno'n gyntaf, roedd y parch a'r gwerthfawrogiad a gafodd oddi wrth ei ffrindiau a'r gymuned yn ddigon.
En: Although Rhian had not discovered gold treasure as she initially wished, the respect and appreciation she received from her friends and the community were enough.

Cy: Ar ddiwedd y dydd, roedd yr hyn roedd hi wir eisiau wedi bod yno yn y cyfrinachau cudd hynny - nid aur, ond yn hytrach, hanes.
En: At the end of the day, what she truly wanted had been there in those hidden secrets—not gold, but rather, history.

Cy: Dyma oedd neges Valle Crucis ar y diwrnod hwnnw, bod gwir glod yn aml yn cuddio mewn mannau lle mae chwilio yn fwy pwysig nag adnoddau.
En: This was the message of Valle Crucis on that day, that true glory often hides in places where searching is more important than resources.

Cy: Roedd Rhian yn gwybod nawr, gyda Cerys a Dafydd wrth ei ymyl, ei dyn a'i ddadleu i ennill rydym ein lle ein hunain.
En: Rhian now knew, with Cerys and Dafydd by her side, her determination and arguments would earn them their own place.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Aeron edrychodd allan ar Frechdan y Bae Caerdydd.
En: Aeron looked out at Brechdan y Bae Caerdydd.

Cy: Golygfa brysur oedd hi gyda pherchnogion busnes yn cerdded heibio, twristiaid yn canu clodydd yr adeiladau hanesyddol a'r atyniadau modern.
En: It was a bustling scene with business owners walking by and tourists singing the praises of historical buildings and modern attractions.

Cy: Dan y nenfwd haf hwyr, roedd bywyd y Bae yn mynd rhagddo, heb wybod am y dasg ddwyfol a oedd yn wynebu un o'u trigolion.
En: Under the late summer sun, life in the Bae continued on, unaware of the divine task facing one of its inhabitants.

Cy: Ar ôl derbyn y pecyn o ddwylo Rhys, oedd fel arfer, yn berson llawn cyfrinachau, roedd Aeron yn pocedu'r pecyn gyda gofal.
En: After receiving the package from Rhys, who was usually a person full of secrets, Aeron pocketed the package carefully.

Cy: Gwyddai'n dda ddigon bod ei swydd fel cwrîr yn gofyn am ddisgresiwn, ond roedd rhywbeth am y pecyn hwn yn llesteirio ei dafarndy.
En: He knew well enough that his job as a courier required discretion, but there was something about this package that unsettled him.

Cy: "Gad i mi wybod pan fyddi di 'di gorffen," dywedodd Rhys, gan wenu mewn ffordd oedd yn gwneud Aeron yn teimlo'n anghysurus.
En: "Let me know when you've finished," said Rhys, smiling in a way that made Aeron feel uncomfortable.

Cy: Roedd pecyn Aeron i gael ei ddanfon cyn i'r machlud grin y nen, ond roedd problemau diogelwch yno.
En: Aeron's package was to be delivered before the sun dipped below the horizon, but there were security issues.

Cy: Roedd y Bae wedi dod yn lle gyda llawer o warchodleddau.
En: The Bae had become a place with many restrictions.

Cy: Felly, roedd rhaid i Aeron fod yn gyfrwys.
En: Consequently, Aeron had to be clever.

Cy: Gwyddai y gallai pobl ofyn am ei becyn, a gyda diogelwch fel mae e, doedd neb am dynnu unrhyw sylw diangen.
En: He knew people might ask about his package, and with security as it was, no one wanted to attract unnecessary attention.

Cy: Wrth i Aeuron ddechrau, daeth Cerys, ffrind hen a deallus.
En: As Aeuron began, Cerys, an old and intelligent friend, appeared.

Cy: Gyda'i gilydd, meddyliai Aeron am ffordd arall.
En: Together, Aeron pondered another way.

Cy: Roeddai Cerys yn cynnig llwybr enwog drwy'r strydoedd cyllyllog, lle na fyddai unrhyw aberth o ran amser na bywl.
En: Cerys suggested a known route through the intricate streets, where there would be no sacrifice of time or safety.

Cy: Unwaith yn y cysgod (a'r te gwyntog), crwydrodd Aeron yn ofalus ar hyd y llwybr bychan, gan ymdopi â thrwch y gynulleidfa.
En: Once in the shadow (and the gusty tea), Aeron navigated cautiously along the narrow path, coping with the crowd's density.

Cy: Roedd amser yn mynd.
En: Time was ticking.

Cy: Teimlai Aeron y pwysau; dylai pojby bewisio erbyn hyn.
En: Aeron felt the pressure; his completion should have happened by now.

Cy: Daeth eiliad syfrdanol pan agorodd Aeron y pecyn yn llawn pryder, nid dim ond i weld y cynnwys, ond i wneud y penderfyniad iawn.
En: A striking moment came when Aeron opened the package full of anxiety, not just to see the contents, but to make the right decision.

Cy: Roedd yr hyn a welodd yn codi cyhyrau wrth deimlo effaith ei benderfyniad.
En: What he saw sparked strength as he felt the impact of his choice.

Cy: Roedd angen cymryd cyfrifoldeb.
En: Responsibility had to be taken.

Cy: Roedd ciw bâton du, yn disgleirio'n ddwfn yn yr haul, ansoddol.
En: A baton black queue shone deeply in the sun, fascinating.

Cy: Roedd Y grym iddo’i brofi yn ormod.
En: The power to test it was overwhelming.

Cy: Roedd yn clasuro rhwng ufudd-dod a barn fiarn.
En: He wrestled between obedience and personal judgment.

Cy: Gyda phenderfyniad caled, trodd Aeron a mynd at y pennaeth diogelwch.
En: With a tough decision, Aeron turned and went to the head of security.

Cy: Daeth yn amlwg bod y dewis i hysbysu’r awdurdodau a diogelu’r gymuned yn bwysicach na chyflawni’r dasg yn unig.
En: It became clear that the choice to inform the authorities and protect the community was more important than merely completing the task.

Cy: Meddylodd Aeron y ffordd o 'mlaen gyda phleser.
En: Aeron thought of the way forward with pleasure.

Cy: Dysgwyd Airon bethau newydd heddiw: gwerth gwirionedd, a diffiniad euweithstood.
En: Aeron learned new things today: the value of truth and the definition of integrity.

Cy: Roedd Caerdydd Bae yn parhau i orlifo â'r ffrindiau ac i siarpio, ond hir oedd ei adlais.
En: Caerdydd Bae continued to overflow with friends and sharpen, but its echo was long.

Cy: Roedd Aeron wedi newid, er gwell, yn fwy na gweithred coll na gormod o odbyw.
En: Aeron had changed, for the better, more than by a lost deed or excess of charm.

Cy: Y ffordd ymlaen oedd llawn cyfrifoldebau newydd a moeseg o ystyr i eraill.
En: The way forward was full of new responsibilities and an ethic of meaning for others.

Cy: Diwedd.
En: The end.

En: The sun smiles over Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, where the mountains reach the sky and the valleys are full of natural life.

Cy: Wrth i Elin a Gethin gerdded trwy'r coed, mae'r adar yn canu fel pe baen nhw'n cymeradwyo.
En: As Elin and Gethin walk through the woods, the birds sing as if they approve.

Cy: Mae hwn yn wyliau gwaith i'r tîm - amser i gysylltu, dysgu, ac, yn anad dim, adeiladu ymddiriedaeth.
En: This is a work retreat for the team - a time to connect, learn, and, above all, build trust.

Cy: Elin, rheolwr prosiect llawn brwdfrydedd ac ymdrech, yw'r arweinydd.
En: Elin, an enthusiastic and diligent project manager, is the leader.

Cy: Mae hi wedi cynllunio'r gweithgareddau i'r eiliad olaf.

Cy: Sylw i fanylion yw ei chryfder; bod yn ymdrechol yw ei ffordd.
En: Attention to detail is her strength; being proactive is her way.

Cy: Ond mae rhywbeth mwy iddi - ysfa gudd i ddangos y gall arwain.
En: But there is something more to her - a hidden drive to show that she can lead.

Cy: Gethin, cydweithiwr beiddgar y tîm, yn mwynhau herio'r arfer.

Cy: Mae'n hoffi antur, ac mae bob amser yn chwilio am ffordd newydd o wneud pethau.
En: He likes adventure and is always looking for a new way of doing things.

Cy: Ond mae rhywbeth iddo hefyd - dyhead am barch a derbyniad gan ei gydweithwyr.
En: But there is something to him as well - a longing for respect and acceptance from his colleagues.

Cy: O bryd i'w gilydd, maen nhw'n anghytuno.
En: From time to time, they disagree.

Cy: “Beth am fynd i ben y mynydd hwnnw?” gofynnodd Gethin, gyda myndra yn sgleinio yn ei lygaid.
En: “What about going to the top of that mountain?” Gethin asked, with enthusiasm gleaming in his eyes.
